A One-sided Relationship, Eph 4:17-24
When you have a one-sided relationship with the Lord, the relationship is all about you. This is the case with many Christians. It’s about how they feel, what they want, what they think is right, what they think is best for them. It’s not about the life of God or his plans. They go where […]
Christ Rose From the Dead, 1 Cor 15:3-22
According to 1 Cor 15:3-22, we know that Christ rose from the dead because of the prophecy of scripture [Acts 2:25-32; Ps 16:8-11] and because of the testimony of his eyewitnesses. John even saw him in heaven and recorded what he saw in the Book of Revelation. In spite of all this evidence, there […]
A Fool In Glorying, 2 Cor 12:1-12
In 2 Cor 12:11 Paul said, “I am become a fool in glorying.” Paul was not a man to glory in himself [2 Cor 12:5]. Yet, the attitude of the Corinthians toward him and toward the false apostles who had exalted themselves among them [2 Cor 11:13, 20], compelled him to glory for their sakes […]

Is God Real to You? 2 Tim. 1:5 Unfeigned Faith, speaks of faith that is real, not counterfeit or hypocritical. To have a real faith, God must be real to you, all the time and in every place. This real relationship with God is the cornerstone of everything in your life. Everyone around you, […]

Honour, 1 Sam 2:29-30
Honour is a good name or public esteem; outward respect or admiration; a showing of usually merited respect. According to Prov 22:1, honour is desirable. So, if honour is a good thing to have, the question is, “How do you get it?” You don’t get honour by seeking honour – you don’t get honor by […]
Wherein Thy Great Strength Lieth.
Wherein Thy Strength Lieth Judges 16:5,6,15 In Judges 16 we have the story of Samson and Delilah before us. We are all familiar with this story of how Delilah wanted to know the source of Samson’s strength so that she could bind him and deliver him to the Philistines. In the cat and mouse game […]
I Will Go, Ps 71:15-18
In Psalm 71:15-18 we read, “I will go in the strength of the Lord God.” Years ago, I had that verse hanging above my office door. It was a reminder to me to go out in the strength of the Lord. But notice, the Psalmist said, “I will go.” We have heard much about “going” […]
Bear With Me, 2 Cor 11:1-33
Paul wanted the Corinthians to bear with him through some boasting. They might well bear with [meaning “in all likelihood they would bear with”] a fellow preaching false doctrine [2 Cor 11:4], so they should certainly bear with Paul. He wanted them to bear with him: Being jealous over them with godly jealously – 2 […]
Instruction and Reproof
