Ps 118:14 has a nice outline built right into the text. The Lord is my strength, my song, and my salvation. This is a very encouraging text for us today. Notice what the Lord is to us. The Lord is my strength – We need to keep the Lord close...
Eph 6:10-18 is a passage we have preached and taught several times. It’s about the whole armor of God. The purpose of this armor is to protect us from the devil in a fight. He’s trying to knock us out and we are to stand therefore. In Eph 6:10, the...
In Ps 62:2 and Ps 62:6, notice the little two word phrase, “He only.” Those two words sound perfectly exclusive. No one else can compare to the Lord in these things that David said “only” the Lord is. He only is my rock – Ps 62:2 – He is...
In Ps 27:1-3 David asks, Whom shall I fear? Of whom shall I be afraid? The context of these questions is a fight. Notice the references to the wicked, mine enemies, my foes, an host, and war. We are in a fight. Paul told Timothy to fight the good fight...
Prov 27:1 says, “Boast not thyself of tomorrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth.” This statement is worth your serious consideration today. Thou knowest not what a day may bring forth. One day we’re rocking along like everything tomorrow is is going to be just like...

A scorner is a person who holds someone or something in extreme contempt; one who despises. When a scorner seeks wisdom he “findeth it not.” He’s looking at it but he disdains what he sees so he doesn’t get it. Scorners can’t find: The wisdom of creation – Prov 3:19-20. ...
When you read the first part of Is 63:2, about a man dressed in red, and the first part of Rev 1:14, about a man with long white hair, are you reading about Santa Claus? You might think so when you consider how the world has perverted the truth of...
Our text this morning is Mark 1:40-44 about the cleansing of a leper. Do you like things clean? Don’t you like a clean house, a clean car, a clean body, clean clothes, and clean speech? Of course, you do. God likes things clean, as well. This leper wanted to...
