God’s Appointed Times

Today, May 29th 2020 is the 1st day of Pentecost. I said the 1st day of  Shavuot/Pentecost because most Jewish holidays are celebrated for 2 days. The reason for celebrating them for 2 days is because when the tribes of Israel were "dispersed" throughout the world, Diaspora (link), they could not always be certain what …

Don’t Put God In A Box

The picture above has been my log in screen on my laptop for almost ten years. Most believers in God thank Him before eating a meal but God says, "after you have eaten and are full, Bless God for His Goodness to you." This morning's Bible study has brought the thought to mind that we …

The Man From Galilee

The Sprinkling of Blood by Our Mediator, Jesus

If you take the time to read my testimony, there are a couple things I hope you notice from the start. When I became a "Born Again with God's Spirit" Christian, He touched my heart and mind in a very profound way. Living all my 37 years up until that point of my life as …

The Wise Accept Constructive Criticism

Yesterday morning my alarm clock rang at 2:30 am and we did like what Peter and six of the remaining disciples did, John 21:3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee. They went forth, and entered into a ship immediately; and that night they …

You Can’t Cast Out The Flesh

"You Can’t Just Cast Out The Flesh" as tempting an idea it may be at times. In the ministry of Jesus, often times, He cast out demons from people and it set them free from the control and side effects of those unclean spirits. Being set free of unclean spirits brought to some, good health …

Deception & Truth

While reading the devotional reading for today in My Daily Bible app a couple verses had me very bewildered. It couldn't possibly mean what the words were saying.

How Accurate Is Our Bible?

There are times you may hear someone try to “rationalize” the things written in the Bible and say things like, “well it’s really just a metaphor, or an example to teach us how to live” kinda like the parables Jesus taught. So in other words, if you see what looks like an obvious error, like …

What Is Man? A Triune Being!

Some time ago I read this scripture and thought, there has to be a 3rd (Third) Part because it describes only 2 (Two) locations. 1 John 5: 7-8 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three …

My Sheep Hear My Voice

“I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You.” Really???

Much of my summer vacations, holidays, and even a couple school years of my youth and teen years were spent with my maternal grandparents. Pawpaw Vince and Mawmaw Eva.

God At Times Brings A Song

Psalm 40:3-8  He has put a new song in my mouth— Praise to our God; Many will see it and fear, And will trust in the Lord. 4 Blessed is that man who makes the Lord his trust, And does not respect the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies. 5 Many, O Lord my God, are Your wonderful works Which You have done; And Your thoughts toward …

“Triple Hardened” What’s In A Name?

From Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, Juliet says, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” There is No Other Name Sweeter than the name of Yeshua, Jesus. His name means Salvation. He IS Salvation to All that come under His Lordship. Someday, those who call Him …
