Revelation 3:8 I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word, and hast not denied my name. He knows us. He knows that we have little strength and are unable in and of ourselves […]

1John 2:9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth his brother, is in darkness even until now. Did you know that an evidence of salvation is a new love for the people of God. Before salvation you might feel kind of strange around God’s people. They aren’t interested in the same things […]

1Peter 4:11 If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles of God; if any man minister, let him do it as of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. God wants to be […]

1Peter 2:16 As free, and not using your liberty for a cloke of maliciousness, but as the servants of God. We are free in Christ. You have learned that we are saved by grace. We are not required to do anything. He saved us because He is good and not because we are good. All […]

Hebrews 11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. A great truth that these hall of faith people learned was that we are just passing through this […]

Hebrews 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more. I doubt that greater news could be announced. He will not remember our sins any more. If you are a born again Christian your sins and your sin debt have been taken care of. He doesn’t remember them and he has no plans […]

Hebrews 6:15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he obtained the promise. God gave the promise but it didn’t happen immediately. He patiently endured. He waited patiently. God gave him finally what He had promised. There is the problem that many of us have. We want the promises of God. We believe them also […]

Hebrews 1:3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; I love that little phrase, by himself purged our sins. […]

1Timothy 6:20 O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Stay on message is what I get from this verse. It is so easy to get caught up in wasted conversations. We have the gospel committed to our trust. We do […]

2Thessalonians 2:16-17 Now our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God, even our Father, which hath loved us, and hath given us everlasting consolation and good hope through grace, Comfort your hearts, and stablish you in every good word and work. The Lord Jesus Christ and God the Father have loved us. We are saved by […]

1Thessalonians 2:6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, nor yet of others, when we might have been burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. How often do we seek glory? We want men to recognize us. We want our own family, church, and friends to give us glory. I have been so guilty […]

Colossians 2:20-23 Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, (Touch not; taste not; handle not; Which all are to perish with the using;) after the commandments and doctrines of men? Which things have indeed a shew of […]

Ephesians 3:21 Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. Notice that Paul says unto Him be glory in the church. The church is so much more important than most of us believe. The church, a called out assembly of baptized believers organized to carry out […]

Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, Biblical ministry is not to just tell someone about Jesus, get them to pray a prayer, join the church, and/or attend the church. Our heart should be to work with them until Christ be formed in them. […]

2Corinthians 11:8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, to do you service. Missionaries are often seen as a nuisance when they come to our church. We feel like they come and take money from us and our ministries in our local church to take it away to another church. From this verse you […]

2Corinthians 8:1 Moreover, brethren, we do you to wit of the grace of God bestowed on the churches of Macedonia; Amazingly the fact that these people were so used of God to get the work done through giving was the grace of God. All that we do of any value has to do with Him […]

2Corinthians 4:7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. God uses weak earthly vessels like us so that He can show His power through our lives. We often make the mistake of looking to men and thinking of men. The […]

1Corinthians 16:17 I am glad of the coming of Stephanas and Fortunatus and Achaicus: for that which was lacking on your part they have supplied. Paul mentions two laymen from the church at Corinth that have come to visit him. They have brought an offering from the church to him. The church at Corinth had […]

1Corinthians 10:24 Let no man seek his own, but every man another’s wealth. One of the greatest tragedies of modern Christians is how selfish we are. That includes church members, pastors, missionaries and me. We are out to get all we can and can all we can get and sit on the can. That is […]

1Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase. Sometimes we get the wrong impression. We are serving God. We preach and teach and then God does something. He saves some people He builds the church and we begin to think that we […]

Romans 16:5-16 Likewise greet the church that is in their house. Salute my wellbeloved Epaenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. Greet […]

Romans 8:32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? Do you sometimes think that God is being “nit picky!” You know He seems to always trying to find something wrong with you. You can’t seem to […]

Romans 5:20 Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: exceedingly: What a wonderful God we serve! How amazing His grace is to all of us who believe. Some where out in life you may have gotten the idea that God loves you because of […]

Romans 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; What an indictment! Men, the human race, did not want to know God. They did not want God in their knowledge, their thoughts, their […]
