A neighbor can be viewed as someone that lives close to you, but also as a fellowman, as the Greek word used by a lawyer in Luke 10:29 “And who is my neighbor?” as well as Webster bears out. As Jesus tells the parable of “The good Samaritan” in verses 25-39 of this chapter, a […]
Recently we thought about our wonderful Lord, and then about His wonderful works as He seeks to reveal Himself to us, now today we conclude this short series looking at His wonderful works in us. In Psalm 107 15-24, especially 16-20, “He has broken the gates of bronze, And cut the bars of iron in […]
In a recent meditation we looked at the wonderfulness of our Lord, His Name, and glimpsed how wonderful He really is. Today we are continuing to look at His wonderfulness, particularly how He seeks to reveal Himself to us. In Psalm 40:5 the Psalmist David wrote, “Many, O Lord my God, are your wonderful works […]
When we think of the wonderfulness of Jesus the first Scripture that likely comes to mind is Isaiah 9:6 where we are given some descriptive insight into His coming and mission. One of the unique things about this verse is the four or five descriptive names given to Him. Names in the Bible often had […]
Loneliness is a plight that any of us may fall prey to sometime in life because of the loss of a loved one, forsaking of, or rejection by a friend, or melancholy circumstances or spirit. However it is not somewhere God wants us to camp, He did not create us to be lonely, saying “it […]
Our thoughts this week are focused on grandparents, and the role they play in the lives of grandchildren.

Psalm 103:17) is a term that […]
To be loved is a universal craving of the human heart that comes from God Himself because love is an attribute of God. The Bible tells us both that “love is of God” and that “God is love”, 1 John 4:9-10. Having been created in His image and according to His likeness in Genesis 1:26-27 […]
Love is an attribute of God the seed of which is implanted within at the New Birth. Jesus said “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another” John 13:35. This love (Greek, Agape) is not just an emotional feeling that we tend to associate with love, […]
Soon after leaving Egypt, crossing the Red Sea as by dry land, witnessing God overthrow Pharaoh and his army when they tried to follow them, and having a praise service for the victory (see Exodus 15) they come to the wilderness of Shur; in verses 23-25, finding no water for three days they came to […]

Think twice before you find fault with those […]
