Pray for America, 1 Tim 2:1-3
We need to pray for America. But how do we pray? And what do we pray for? Pray for those in authority – 1 Tim 2:1-3 – a quiet [Acts 9:31], and peaceable life [Jer 29:7], in all godliness [1 Tim 6:5; 2 Tim 3:12] and honesty [Rom 12:17; contrast Ex 1:15-20] Pray for our […]
Is Israel the Church? Rom 2:28-29
Is Israel the Church? No. Have you ever had anyone teach you or tell you that Israel is the Church? The idea is that God began dealing with the Jews in Israel in the Old Testament, and continued dealing with them until the first coming of Christ.

One Flesh, Gen 2:24 – Jul 26, 2026
When you read Gen 2:24, “… they shall be one flesh”, it’s easy to surmise that God is referring to the physical relationship between a husband and wife.

The Woman, Gen 2:21-24 – Jul 26, 2026
THE WOMAN – A TYPE OF THE CHURCH God caused Adam to sleep, removed one of his ribs, and God made the rib a woman. The whole process is a perfect picture of the bride of Christ (the church) coming forth from Christ’s own body to become his wife. Notice the similarities: Both Come From […]

We Are Accounted As Sheep, Rom 8:36
According to Paul we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. In many places in the Bible, people are compared to sheep. This is very instructive and should help us have a better understanding of ourselves in our relationship to each other and the Lord. Notice these similarities between sheep and people: We need a shepherd […]
Quit These Things To Delight in the Lord, Is 58:13-14
Ps 37:4 says, “Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” When you delight thyself in the Lord he gives you the desires, not the things you desire. In other words, when you find satisfaction in the Lord, he puts the desires in your heart for the […]
God Wants To Do Much More, Eph 3:20-21
