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 […]
Surprisingly, idolatry has always plagued the people of God. Even before they became a great nation, while they were just beginning their trip toward the land of promise, the Israelites turned from God to worship a golden calf (Exodus 32:1-4). A shocking development after God had just delivered them from the bondage of Egypt. Just […]
God’s faithfulness to Israel in times past is an encouragement to God’s people today. Listen to what God told His people of old through the prophet Isaiah. Isaiah 44:21-22 (ESV) 21 Remember these things, O Jacob, and Israel, for you are my servant; I formed you; you are my servant; O Israel, you will not […]
In the book of Romans, Paul emphasizes that man is justified by faith rather than by works (works of the law that demand sinless living). Romans 5:2 (ESV) 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God. […]
Jesus promised that the gates of Hades would not prevail against the church that He would build. How would Jesus build His church? He would do so by going to the cross and dying for our sins. While the death of Christ was necessary for the salvation of our souls, it was not enough. For […]

(Ephesians 3:20) The truth is, it is impossible to comprehend the totality of God’s divine nature. This makes the realization that we will someday be in His presence […]
In one of the great “I am” passages uttered by Jesus, He said, “I am the good shepherd. I know my own and my own know me” (John 10:14). His own are those identified as His sheep. It is a wonderful blessing to be among the Lord’s flock, and the blessing begins with the relationship […]
The devil is our greatest adversary. He wants to separate us from God and destroy our souls. We should know that this is his aim and that he will do everything in his limited power to make that happen. So, what does the devil want us to do? Let me suggest three things to you. […]
While some things are seasonal (fruit, colors, and your favorite sport), other things are going on all year long. As Christians, some things should be going on in our lives year-round as well. They are things that we should be doing all the time. One of those things is trusting God. In Psalms 62, David […]
It is unanimously believed by followers of the Bible that Paul was one of the most remarkable Christians of all time.
