Spiritual leadership in the church is important.  God says to obey godly leaders by yielding to their leadership. Does that mean following with our eyes closed?  No, for our leaders are responsible before God to obey Him.  We are not to be blind to what we see and deaf to what we hear.  We […]

(NASB) Hebrews 13:15-16 “Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. 16 And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.” Sacrifices which please the living God: Sacrifice of praise Sacrifice […]

(NASB) Hebrews 13:15 “Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name.”   As I read the above words what do I notice?  I am to give God a continual sacrifice of praise… the fruit of my lips […]

Reminder: (NASB) Hebrews 13:14 “For here we do not have a lasting city…” Remember: (NASB) Hebrews 10:34 “For you showed sympathy to the prisoners and accepted joyfully the seizure of your property, knowing that you have for yourselves a better possession and a lasting one.” What I am experiencing today is not lasting… all of […]

  The living God, my Savior is the same today as He was yesterday.  The Messiah is the Anointed One of God.  He is fully Man (the son of David) and He is fully God (conceived by God the Holy Spirit).  He is the same today and He is the same Person into all the […]

(NASB) Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Present ~ today This moment, Jesus, God my Savior, is the same as He was when He was present at creation of the heavens and the earth.

Jesus Christ has not, does not and will not change – ever! (NASB) Hebrews 13:8 “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.” Jesus – He is a sure and secure Person you can depend on, trust in and rely on! Yesterday – Jesus existed.
