Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen. ~Romans 1:24-25 As you read through the Bible—and I hope you do regularly—thereContinue reading “same as it ever was”

If anyone teaches a different doctrine and does not agree with the sound words of our Lord Jesus Christ and the teaching that accords with godliness, he is puffed up with conceit and understands nothing. He has an unhealthy craving for controversy and for quarrels about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, evil suspicions. ~ 1 Timothy 6:3-4 By and large,Continue reading “malnourished”

For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes in Him will not be disappointed.” ~Romans 10:11 The book of Romans is amazing—and Paul is a master lawyer whose arguments are brilliant and irrefutable. This whole letter to the church at Rome drops one truth bomb after another. In fact, you could sit in each chapter for weeksContinue reading “all means all and yes means yes”

But if we walk in the Light as He Himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin. ~1 John 1:7 The Bible makes it very clear: We’re all sinners (Romans 3:23). In fact, we’re not sinners because we sin…we sin because we’re sinners.Continue reading “it’s a bloodbath”

In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. ~ 2 Corinthians 4:4 It’s so easy to look around at our culture and shake our heads in disbelief at the utter depravity, chaos,Continue reading “through the lens of lies”

For what does Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was credited to him as righteousness.” ~Romans 4:3 I love to study Paul’s letter to the Romans. In his brilliant lawyer-ese throughout this letter, Paul makes solid arguments—often submitting the opposing questions before they’re asked—and then, every time, slam-dunks the close. In chapters 1 throughContinue reading “taking credit”

Yet we know that a person is not justified by works of the law but through faith in Jesus Christ, so we also have believed in Christ Jesus, in order to be justified by faith in Christ and not by works of the law, because by works of the law no one will be justified. ~Galatians 2:16 HaveContinue reading “when doing good goes bad”

You have encircled me behind and in front, And placed Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; It is too high, I cannot comprehend it. ~Psalm 139:5-6 You know it as well as I do: Satan’s time is short, so the battle for souls is ramping up. Just turn on the news, scroll social media, drive onContinue reading “too wonderful”

Therefore, we do not lose heart, but though our outer person is decaying, yet our inner person is being renewed day by day. For our momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of glory far beyond all comparison, while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen;Continue reading “losing heart”

They said to one another, “Were our hearts not burning within us while He was speaking to us on the road, while He was explaining the Scriptures to us?” ~Luke 24:32 It happened to me again. And if you are an enthusiast of God’s Word, I’m confident that it’s been your experience as well. YouContinue reading “walking along with them”
