The Lord Hath Heard, Ps 6:1-10 – Jul 15, 2026
The Lord Hath Heard In Psalm 6, David is being “attacked” by his enemies. They have worn him down so much that he is weak and vexed, v.2, weary, v.6, and grieved, v.7. He’s been groaning and crying profusely, v.6. Death and the grave have become present realities, v.5, as it appears he has no […]
Christian Resources, Lk 24:49
When you listen to Christian radio today, you keep hearing the word “resources” referring to books, CD’s, DVD’s, etc. that are offered to the listeners at a price. I have often thought to myself, “Where were all these Christian resources after Jesus ascended into heaven?” If these things are so essential to your spiritual growth […]
The Unpardonable Sin, Mk 3:29-30
The unpardonable sin is “the blasphemy against the Holy Ghost,” (Matt 12:31). The reason that it is called the unpardonable sin is that Jesus said, “He that shall blaspheme against the Holy Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation,” (Mk 3:29). When the question comes up, “Can I blaspheme the Holy […]
Strive Lawfully, 2 Tim 2:5
You and I must strive lawfully if we hope to be crowned at the judgment seat of Christ [2 Tim 2:5]. One of the crowns available is the incorruptible crown [1 Cor 9:25]. To be crowned with that one, we must keep our bodies in subjection [1 Cor 9:26-27]. You and I are supposed to […]
Fickle Men, 2 Ki 9:11-13 – Jul 12, 2026
Fickle Men What causes men to be fickle? False Expectations. In 2 Ki 9:11-13 the captains of the host thought the man of God was a “mad fellow”. They thought what he said was “false”. But how quickly these fickle men changed their minds when they heard that he had anointed Jehu as king. Often, […]
All Things Are Become New, 2 Cor 5:17 – Jul 12, 2026

The Seventh Day, Details on Creation, Gen 2:1-24 – Jul 12, 2026
The Seventh Day On the seventh day, God rested from his work. That is, he ceased his work of creation. The seventh day pictures the “day of the Lord,” when Christ will reign on the earth for 1,000 years. Each day of creation is a literal 24-hour day. You know this because each day is […]
Set Your Heart, 1 Chr 22:19
When you read through 1st Chronicles you see many instances of David accomplishing great things. In every case, it was the Lord who did the mighty things for David or through David. At the end of his life, we see David advising the princes of Israel to “set your heart and your soul to seek […]
Baptized for the Dead, 1 Cor 15:29
In 1 Cor. 15:29, “baptized for the dead” is the water baptism of saved people who are “dead with Christ” and who will be raised “like as Christ was raised up from the dead.” This verse of scripture has been a real problem for some scholars. As a matter of fact, it is the “proof” […]
