Jesus was the greatest teacher that ever walked the face of this earth, often using stories or parables to teach the principles of the kingdom of God. In Matthew 7:24-27 is one such allegory of two carpenters who each built a house, the difference being that one of them made sure he had a solid […]

Prayer, one of the most important elements of a believer’s life, is both enjoined and exemplified in the Bible. One of the great examples is found in Job 42:10; Job was upright and turned away from evil, neither did he sin or charge God with wrong in spite of all his adverse circumstances (see 1:8, […]
“Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled (Hebrew stationed, i.e. stands firm) in heaven”, Psalm 119:89. What a wonderful word that we can count on as being sure and steadfast. It is first a cleansing word, “Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? By taking heed thereto according to thy word”, Psalm 119:9 KJV. […]
The Bible lays out a clear “dress code” for the people of God. While there are some guidelines that apply to the clothing of our physical appearance the emphasis is on that of the inner person, the spirit man within. When we come to Jesus receiving Him as Savior and Lord that inner “man” is […]
In Daniel 4 Nebuchadnezzar had witnessed the works of Yahwah (Jehovah) God and acknowledges them in words, and that the Spirit of God was in Daniel (a distinction that every child of God should have) but had not submitted to His ruler-ship over his own life and kingdom. He failed to break off from his […]
The book of Lamentations portrays the people of Judah, God’s covenant people who were given the covenants and promises, but had now rebelled and disobeyed, breaking the covenant. For this reason God withdrew His hand of blessing; punishment, destruction, and judgment had come upon them, and under these conditions hope seems to have been lost, […]
“And the apostles said to the Lord, Increase our faith” Luke 17:5. Now Romans 12:3 tells us that “God has dealt to each one a measure (limited portion) of faith.” Every one of us who are Christians has been saved by grace through faith (see Ephesians 2:8). From the moment of salvation we all live […]
Psalm 119, the longest chapter in the Bible, is a meditation on God’s word using more than half a dozen expressions to describe it; how many of these can you find in its verses? This Psalm is the inspiration behind Rose’s poetry for today, which focuses largely on the impact the word of God should […]
In the thirty-fourth Psalm we read words from the shepherd-king of Israel who had apparently learned the secret of praising God regardless of his circumstances. This is what he says in verse one, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” What a great example for us […]
