It is by grace we are saved through faith in Christ Jesus (see Romans 3:24, Ephesians 2:8). Today’s verse gives us a different perspective of grace. We read in Hebrews 2:9: “But we see Jesus, who as a man, lived for a short time lower than the angels and has now been crowned with glorious … Continue reading By God’s Grace

The Faithfulness of God
Today passage asks the question — does a person’s unbelief weaken God’s faithfulness? We read in His Word that if we ask and we believe, we receive (Matthew 21:22, Mark 11:24). But what if we do not always 100% believe? There are times in life when yes, we believe in God, and yes we trust … Continue reading The Faithfulness of God
God is True
God is true. In a world where there are lies all around, God is true. No matter what we think or believe, God is true. No matter what someone says otherwise, God is true. It is not something to be debated. It is not something that can change. The word used here means true, reality, … Continue reading God is True
All Sin
The Message translation of 1 John 3:4, says that “sin is a major disruption of God’s order.” Sin is anything that is against God. We know that “everyone who sins is breaking God’s law.” God is holy and He cannot look at our sin. He has a beautifully orchestrated plan and He knows the best … Continue reading All Sin
Made for More
Did you know you were made for more? Jesus said that we would do greater things than even He did during His earthly ministry. It’s true. Sadly, many of us never step into what God has prepared long ago. We allow our fears to dictate our steps. We make up excuses for not stepping out. … Continue reading Made for More
A Strange Thing
In Hosea 8, we read that Ephraim had “multiplied altars for sin” (v. 11). They built altars, but they certainly were not worshiping God as He desired. The altars were “altars of sinning.” Oh how the things that could be useful for good can be used for evil just the same. What a great reminder … Continue reading A Strange Thing
Earnestly Seek
In Hosea, we read a lot about the sinfulness of God’s people. Judgment was given. In Hosea 5:15, we read that the people needed to acknowledge their guilt. After they acknowledge their guilt, then they must seek God’s face. You cannot seek God, you cannot move in His direction, until you acknowledge you have sinned … Continue reading Earnestly Seek
I Am Stiff Necked
We recently did a Bible study where the term “stiff necked” came up. Many people asked what does it mean to be “stiff necked”? Jokingly, I told them I am stiff necked, hence the reason I see a chiropractor. The truth is, yes, I have a stiff neck that needed extensive therapy. My lower back … Continue reading I Am Stiff Necked
Good People
We all have heard the phrase, “Bad things happen to good people.” Often it is said when we believe ourselves to be undeserving of what comes our way. Perhaps we are speaking about someone who we deem to be a “good person,” who gets handed a “raw deal,” and we think that should only be … Continue reading Good People
