Really digging into the Bible requires time spent to read and reread the scripture, looking for a little nugget that might unlock the mysteries within. God reveals mysteries to us. Before you begin to study, pray that God will open you up to His Word, and open up His Word to you. You can even …
Day 3 Of the Study of James
If you want to view this study from the beginning, go here. Today, we pick up in verse 9: 9 The brother in humble circumstances ought to take pride in his high position. 10 But the one who is rich should take pride in his low position, because he will pass away like a wild …
Day 2 Of Our Study of James
Yesterday we looked at verses 1 and 2. Today, I’d like to look at verses 5-8. Click here to look at yesterday’s blog. 5 If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. 6 But when he asks, he …
Going Deeper Into the Study of the Book of James.
Just as I was getting back into writing again, COVID hit. It took me out for several days, but I’m feeling so much better now! I want to continue in my study of the Bible. The last couple of years, I’ve read through the entire Bible each year. One year reading an Old Testament, New …

Give It A Rest

Knowing God
To love like God, you first have to know God loves you and how he loves you! So, there has to be a disconnect for unbelievers because they don't know the love of God. When our world seems to come crashing down around us, it can seem cold, unfair, unforgiving, impersonal. If we don't understand …

One of my favorite Bible stories is about Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. I've heard this in many sermons by several pastors and watched a recent episode of The Chosen that addressed this scripture from the book of John in chapter 4. Today's sermon dug a little deeper into what's going …
What Is Truth?
I try to listen to our sermons on Sunday with an open mind. Our pastor has a way of getting my attention that makes me really pay attention to what he has to say before I pass judgment. This morning he asked up to open our minds and hearts and to be patient with him …
