This you know, my beloved brethren. But everyone must be quick to hear, slow to speak and slow to anger; for the anger of man does not achieve the righteousness of God.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    James 1:19-20  If there is one thing that I am…

Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust.                                                                                                                    James 1:13-14  It’s a…

But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to…

Now the God of peace, who brought up from the dead the great Shepherd of the sheep through the blood of the eternal covenant, even Jesus our Lord, equip you in every good thing to do His will, working in us that which is pleasing in His sight, through Jesus Christ, to whom be the glory forever and ever. Amen.                                                                                                …

Through Him then, let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that give thanks to His name. And do not neglect doing good and sharing, for with such sacrifices God is pleased.                                                                                                              Hebrews 13:15-16  The Christian life is to be a joyous one….

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          Hebrews 13:8  In a world that is constantly changing, we can be assured that Jesus, and by extension God, does not change. God…

Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured…

Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the men of old gained approval.                                                                                                                     Hebrews 11:1-2  Perhaps the best definition of faith that we have in scripture appears in today’s passage. Faith is being assured of things that have yet to take…

…let us draw near with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful; and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking our own assembling together, as is the…

By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified. Now where there is forgiveness of these things, there is no longer any offering for sin. Hebrews 10:10, 14, 18  We continue to look at the idea that our redemption in…
