The prayer of the week is based on Isaiah 11:2-3 Lord God Who has given us Your words in the Holy Bible…words of truth and promise and warnings. Please fill me with Your spirit of wisdom and understanding, Your spirit of counsel and power, Your spirit of knowledge and fear of You, the living LORD.  […]

 (NASB) Micah 6:8 “He has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the LORD require of you But to do justice, to love kindness, And to walk humbly with your God.” Jesus was talking to a Pharisee who criticized Him for not ceremonially washing before eating lunch. Jesus went right to the […]

   A Pharisee invited the Lord Jesus home for lunch.  Jesus went and reclined at the table. Notice what surprised this host: (NASB) Luke 11:38 “When the Pharisee saw it, he was surprised that He had not first ceremonially washed before the meal.” How did the Lord Jesus “handle” this critical assessment? (NASB) Luke 11:39 […]

 Jesus stated a fact as an illustration, a word picture. (NASB) Luke 11:33 “No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it away in a cellar or under a basket, but on the lampstand, so that those who enter may see the light.” Many times an eye doctor can detect an unhealthy body when they examine […]

  Jesus had dealt with an accusation of using Satan’s power to cast out a demon…not so, His power was from God.  Then Jesus later answered those demanding a sign from heaven about His ability to cast out demons. (NASB) Luke 11:29-30 “As the crowds were increasing, He began to say, ‘This generation is a […]

The prayer of the week is based on Psalm 119:105 God of the Bible: to be able to pray to You, the Living Word, what a privilege.  Your words of truth are fully reliable…all of them…the promises, the warnings…Your love is so great that You warn us of Your wrath against sins.  And You have […]

   Jesus was talking to a crowd who had witnessed a man being delivered from a demon by Him.  Some in that crowd accused Him of using the power of Satan, which Jesus refuted.   A woman in that crowd shouted out: (NASB) Luke 11:27“…‘Blessed is the womb that bore You and the breasts at […]

 Followers of Christ: we are to consciously choose to live with our mind set on things above and not on the old self which is like those without Christ. (NASB) Colossians 3:2 “Set your mind on the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.” (NASB) Colossians 3:9 “Do not lie […]

 (NASB) Colossians 3:3-4 “For you have died and your life is hidden with Christ in God. 4 When Christ, who is our life, is revealed, then you also will be revealed with Him in glory.’ What amazing words!  This sounds so beautiful…but what can it mean? As followers of Christ, we have received Him as […]

(NASB) Colossians 3:2 “Set your minds on the things above, not on the things that are on earth.” Re-focus…on eternal truths. Intentionally think about…God’s words of truth. Set your mind…on things above. What is your “mind set” this day? What is your motivation today? What is “driving” you in each of your todays? Basically you […]
