NASB Proverbs 3:5 “Trust in the LORD with all your heartAnd do not lean on your own understanding.” Making a commitment means making an active choice to commit yourself. When we trust in the LORD we are making an active decision to commit ourselves to Him. Trust is not passive, filled with apathy or sluggishness. […]
Promises are made to be broken. Do you agree with that statement? I don’t!But this is not so with God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Spirit – three Persons, YET, One God. The word of God “… must be fulfilled.” All of God’s words – fulfilled!Every prophecy concerning the Lord […]
How foolish when we are slow to believe in Jesus and in God’s words about Jesus. Instead of believing Jesus, do we “buy in” to what is said by people without God in their lives? Do we believe the lies which are spewed out of their mouths? How foolish we are when we drag our […]
People say things and later, much later, you remember their words. For they were important and had an impact on you. Same thing happened in the days following the death of Jesus. Actually, after His resurrection, some women were told by two angels what Jesus said a couple of years earlier. NASB Luke 24:6-7 “‘He […]
The Lord God gave proof, over and over again, that Jesus Christ died, that Jesus Christ was resurrected. The first proof? An empty tomb.

How did Jesus “handle” false accusations and true facts? Jesus was arrested after being betrayed by Judas Iscariot, one of His twelve disciples. Then Jesus was illegally tried by the chief priests, officers of the temple and Jewish elders. Luke 22:42, 54, 65-71 Jesus was then taken to Pilate, the Roman governor over Israel. Luke […]
NASB Luke 22:60 “But Peter said, ‘Man, I do not know what you are talking about.’ Immediately, while he was still speaking, a rooster crowed.” Hours earlier – while the eleven disciples and Jesus were still in the upper room after the Passover meal, Jesus warned Peter that ‘Satan has demanded permission to sift you […]
The battle ground of prayer… the war is won there! on our knees and on our faces. For the Lord Jesus the battle was yielding to God’s will. I am so thankful He yielded to His Father on that night in the Garden of Gethsemane. After the Passover meal, after Judas Iscariot left to betray […]
