All The Day, Ps 71:8, 15
Three times in Psalm 71, David used the phrase “all the day.” In Ps 71:8 he wrote, “Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.” In Ps 71:15 he wrote, “My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the […]
Wounds of a Friend, Prov 27:6
Prov 27:6 says, “Faithful are the wounds of a friend; but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.” This verse shows us that in, at least, some of our relationships with true friends, we are going to be wounded. Or we may have to wound a friend. The wound may hurt them but it is […]
Fret Not, Ps 37:1-9
Psalm 37 begins with a profound admonition, “Fret not.” To fret means to cause to suffer emotional wear and tear: trouble persistently: vex, torment, worry, according to Webster’s dictionary. We need to be reminded not to fret in times like these, because there seems to be plenty to worry about. Christians worry about evildoers, workers […]
Salvation of Babies
What happens to babies if they die before they are old enough to be saved? They go to heaven! Many people have grown up in churches that baptize babies. They are fearful that if they don’t baptize their own babies, somehow, their children won’t end up in heaven if they die young. This just isn’t […]
Charity is the Greatest, 1 Cor 13
Why is Charity greater than faith and hope? Because it never faileth!! In 1 Cor. 13, charity is compared to prophecy, tongues, knowledge, faith, and hope and is superior to all five of these things. Charity is greater than prophecy because prophecies will fail (v.8). When Jesus returns to this earth, most prophecies will have […]
Good Kids, Eph 6:1-3
Good kids are children who do what the Bible says. We know that the proportion of children who believe and obey the Bible today is much smaller than the proportion of kids who don’t. So it is becoming less and less likely, with each successive generation, that kids are going to grow up to be […]
Good Dads, Gen 18:19
In the prior broadcast we talked about good moms. Today we’ll discuss the characteristics of good dads. The objective of being a good dad is to rear godly children. There’s no guarantee that if you are a good dad all your children are going to turn out perfect. They have the freedom to choose. Nevertheless, […]
Good Moms, Prov 31:1
The Bible has much to say about good moms. If you will follow what the Bible says, you are not guaranteed that all of your children will turn out just right. But you have the best opportunity of rearing good children if you follow what God shows you in the Bible. Good moms teach – […]
Jehoshaphat’s Compromise, 2 Chr 17-20
The Lord substantially blessed Jehoshaphat and Judah during Jehoshaphat’s reign. He strengthened himself against Israel [2 Chr 17:1], the Lord was with him [2 Chr 17:3], his heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord [2 Chr 17:6], he authorized the teaching of the words of God throughout Judah [2 Chr 17:7-9], the […]
My Words Do Good, Mic 2:7
In Mic 2:7, the Lord asks, “do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?” Indeed, they do. For us who desire to walk uprightly, God’s words are very good. The key is that you must be walking uprightly. These words are not good to anyone who is determined to walk frowardly. […]
