Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. But exhort one another daily, while it is called today; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin. Hebrews 3:12-13 The heart of every problem is a…

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. Eph 2:8-9 Christianity is the only faith that says that salvation (meaning being right with God) is a gift you receive by God’s grace and not by…

My Utmost for His Highest it is written, "Be holy, for I am holy. 1 Peter 1:16 We must continually remind ourselves of the purpose of life. We are not destined to happiness, nor to health, but to holiness. Today we have far too many desires and interests, and our lives are…

Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name. Psalms 103:1 When I was a kid growing up in the 70’s and 80’s, I watched my share of TV on the few channels available at that time (ABC, NBC, CBS and two UHF stations that always came in a little fuzzy).…

He who is not with Me is against Me, and he who does not gather with Me scatters abroad. Matthew 12:30 So often as human beings, we want to do what I call "play in the gray." Rather than seeing issues as black or white, right or wrong, good or evil, we often say, "Well, it's…

A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Mathew 7:18-20 There is a story about Alexander the…

He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believe the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God abides on him. John 3:36 There was a preacher who kept a painting in his study of a shipwreck. There were sailors in lifeboats reaching out their hands…

Moreover the law entered, that the offense might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 5:20-21 Grace was not an addition…

O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory? 1 Corinthians 15:55 Have you ever been stung by a bee? It’s not a fun experience. But although it’s painful for the person being stung, it’s fatal for the bee. When a honeybee stings a person, it can’t pull its…

And saying, Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation. 2 Peter 3:4 I’m afraid that is the attitude of far too many today. We have heard our entire lives that Jesus is going to come back…

You therefore must endure hardship as a good soldier of Jesus Christ. 2 Timothy 2:3 Without question the greatest life to live is the Christian life, because God takes a life that was empty, aimless, and, worst of all, headed for a certain judgment and then turns it around and…

But lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. Matthew 6:20 I heard a story about a miserly old man that had pinched every penny he had for years until he had accumulated over $5 million dollars.…

Simple Yes or No Poll! Do you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior? A. Yes B. No

He who sins is of the devil, for the devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 3:8 The word destroy does not mean annihilate in the Greek language, it means to make ineffective. We…

"Asking for prayers 🙏 Our 12-year-old, Lily, was in a serious scooter accident and has been taken to Louisville Children’s Trauma Center with a brain injury. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers."

In my devotions, studying the book of Jude, I discovered something that I’ve never really thought about. The word “apostasy,” I’ve always associated this word with someone who switches religions. Say, a Christian who switches to Hinduism or Islam. These are apostates for sure,…

Remember therefore how you have received and heard; hold fast and repent. Therefore if you will not watch, I will come upon you as a thief, and you will not know what hour I will come upon you. Rev 3:3 Was there a time in your life when you were stronger spiritually than you are…

And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying,O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. Mathew 26:39 As the crucifixion approached, Jesus, being God, knew what was coming down. He knew they…

For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Mark 8:36 I read a story that deeply touched my heart. A young preacher came to a mill town. He went to see the owner of the mill, who literally owned the town, to invite him to come to the…
