Genesis 19:8 Behold now, I have two daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you, bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes: only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the shadow of my roof. Reading this story here you […]

Genesis 18:19 For I know him, that he will command his children and his household after him, and they shall keep the way of the LORD, to do justice and judgment; that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which he hath spoken of him. God speaking of Abraham said that He knew him. He […]

Genesis 15:6 And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Abraham was never righteous in himself. He was counted righteous. That is what God does for us. We can never be righteous on our own. We never measure up. We never, ever, could do enough to be righteous. You […]

Genesis 14:23 That I will not take from a thread even to a shoelatchet, and that I will not take any thing that is thine, lest thou shouldest say, I have made Abram rich: This is what Abram said when he got through defeating 5 kings in battle. He had won by the work of […]

Genesis 12:2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: God is calling out Abram who will be one of the greatest used men of all the Bible. He is promising Him great blessings. He will bless him […]

Genesis 3:20 And Adam called his wife’s name Eve; because she was the mother of all living. They were to die on the day they ate tat fruit and they knew that. They did die. They lost all the wonderful things that they had had in the garden of Eden. As God spoke to Adam […]

Genesis 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. Adam and Eve lived in full intimacy and security with the Lord and each other before their rebellion. They were not ashamed. They were not afraid. Satan offered them a freedom […]

Revelation 22:17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely. The bride, the church of Jesus Christ, and the Spirit give the great invitation. Come. If you are thirsty, come. […]

Revelation 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. I love this verse. There is victory for us. Satan can not defeat us. We have victory because of our salvation that was purchased by the blood […]

Revelation 3:18 I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. What a promise we have from the Lord […]

1 Peter 1:14 As obedient children, not fashioning yourselves according to the former lusts in your ignorance: We are now His children. We do not want to live like we used to live. We have new desires now. We want to live like our Father. We lived like we used to because we didn’t know […]

James 5:11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. Life can get tough. You can go through very difficult times in your life but one thing to remember is […]

James 2:10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all. Have you ever taken one of those tests where you either pass or fail? That is what is happening with the law. The only problem is that you can’t miss any of the questions. The […]

James 2:1 My brethren, have not the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons. Rich and poor will never mix. If you want to reach the rich you must go to them where they are and make them comfortable in your church. This is the new philosophy or […]

Hebrews 13:6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me. I must admit that I know this verse very well but have a problem putting it into practice. I know that God the Lord is my helper. I know that I […]

Hebrews 10:34 For ye had compassion of me in my bonds, and took joyfully the spoiling of your goods, knowing in yourselves that ye have in heaven a better and an enduring substance. The writer of Hebrews is thankful for the sacrificial giving of God’s people. He realizes that he has been very costly. They […]

Philemon 14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; that thy benefit should not be as it were of necessity, but willingly. Paul wanted Philemon to forgive Onesimus. Paul believed that if Philemon would forgive Onesimus that it would telegraph a great message to other Christians and to the lost world. It would teach […]

Philemon 6 That the communication of thy faith may become effectual by the acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. We can better communicate our faith when we understand all that God has done in and through us! People should be able to see in us, also, what God is […]

II Timothy 2:23 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the […]

II Timothy 2:14 Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers. We need to be reminded that we shouldn’t argue with people. For some reason God’s people like to get into heated discussions that really […]

I Timothy 4:10 For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men, specially of those that believe. Paul was working very hard. He was burning the candle at both ends. He was spending and being spent. Not only was he working but […]

I Thessalonians 5:24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. To be honest, I get tired sometimes. I wonder if the work that I do is of any value. I wonder if I am being used of God. I wonder if what I am doing makes a difference. I fall into […]

I Thessalonians 2:2 But even after that we had suffered before, and were shamefully entreated, as ye know, at Philippi, we were bold in our God to speak unto you the gospel of God with much contention. Paul writes to remind them that he has suffered and been mistreated in Philippi but yet he continues […]

Colossians 2:10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: God is completely in Jesus. We are complete in Jesus. Jesus in us is the hope of glory. 
Do you realize that all you are and all you need to be is taken care of in Jesus. He […]

Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; This is one of those wild verses in the Bible. I don’t think we expect to find it. It says that God has given us the privilege of serving […]

Ephesians 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; This is a beautiful verse. The first three chapters of this book have only one imperative verb. That verb is remember! God has been so good to us. He has done great work in everyone of us. Now we move from who we are […]

Galatians 4:19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth again until Christ be formed in you, The Galatians had gone into legalism. They were trying to do in their own power what only God can do in His. Paul wants them to be conformed to the image of Christ. He wants them to […]

Galatians 2:8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the apostleship of the circumcision, the same was mighty in me toward the Gentiles:) Paul could amazingly see that it was God the Holy Spirit who was working in Peter and in him. The Holy Spirit works effectually in us. He is mighty in us. […]

II Corinthians 7:3 I speak not this to condemn you: for I have said before, that ye are in our hearts to die and live with you. Paul had the Corinthians in his heart. He wanted to be their friends for an entire lifetime. He had them in his heart but not only in his […]
