Priorities, Mark 12:28

Many of us make a list of things we need to do in a day or a week.  And then we prioritize the things on the list to make sure we completer our priorities.  Otherwise, we are prone to fill our day with important but not essential things.  And by the time the day has […]

And when he did, he found out some things.  He said, in Ecc 7:27, “Behold, this have I found”.  He found that: This Have I Found that Wisdom Strengthens the Wise Ecc 7:19 Wisdom strengtheneth the wise man more than ten mighty men which are in the city.  […]

God Shall Wipe Away All Tears, Rev 21:4

Rev 21:4 says, “And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes…”   God doesn’t wipe away all our tears today.  Notice that the rest of Rev 21:4 says, “…and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.”  […]

Money Problems

There are several practical things that you can do to stay out of financial trouble or to get out of the trouble you are in. Turn to God for help, Matt. 6:30-34, “Your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and […]

Seek Ye My Face, Ps 27:8

In Ps 27:8 David wrote, “When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, LORD, will I seek”.   Wouldn’t it be something to see the LORD’s face.  But no one ever has.  We know that “no man hath seen God at anytime”. When the LORD spoke to Moses, he […]

Things We Must Know, Eph 1:15-23

This lesson covers Eph 1:15-23.  In this passage, Paul prayed for the Ephesians [Eph 1:16] to know three things every Christian must know.  We must know “what is the exceeding hope of his calling,” [Eph 1:18], “what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,” [Eph 1:18], and “what is the exceeding […]

Though He Fall, Ps 37:23

Ps 37:23 says that the steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord.  But v. 24 says, though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down.  If his steps are being ordered by the Lord, why would he ever fall?  That doesn’t seem to make sense.  It seems that any man whose […]

Our Church Body, Eph 4:11-16

When we studied Local Church in Bible College there was an emphasis on the differences between the Local Church and the Body of Christ. Most notably, I remember learning that the Church is an organism and the Local Church is an organization. I have since come to believe that the Local Church is more than […]
