Sometimes we tend to categorize sin. Sins such as fornication, adultery, stealing, and the like, we consider to be very serious. However, sins such as lying are dismissed with little thought. The fact is God abhors all sin (Psalms 5:4-5) and lying is no exception. In the Garden, Satan used a lie to entice Eve […]
How do you feel about the truth? The Psalmist revealed how he felt about it, and we should feel the same as he did. Psalm 119:97 (ESV) 97 Oh how I love your law! It is my meditation all the day. One reason the Psalmist loved the truth was because he understood its value. Psalm […]
David loved to worship God. Psalm 122:1 (ESV) 1 I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the LORD!” Psalm 42:2 (ESV) 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? Psalm 42:4 (ESV) 4 These things I remember, […]

Because of these differences, some […]
Every Christian knows how valuable the precious blood of Christ is. Jesus tasted death for everyone (Hebrews 2:9), and because of this everyone who accepts Him as their Savior is saved by His blood (Matthew 26:28). Thank God that Jesus was willing to be obedient to His Father, even to the point of death on […]
What kind of hearts we have will determine what kind of Christians we are. I am not speaking of our physical hearts that pumps blood through our bodies, but of our biblical hearts, that is, our minds. We all need to search our hearts from time to time because the condition of our hearts will […]
The Bible is a book full of important words. In fact, every word in the original text was put there by God, for all scripture is given by inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16). The very words that the inspired writers used were chosen by the Spirit of God. Paul made this clear when he wrote to […]
