You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not leave him unpunished who takes His name in vain.                                                                                                                  Exodus 20:7  It seems in today’s culture that the name of God is thrown about without any consideration for the power and majesty…

Do not love the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes and the boastful pride of life, is not from the Father, but is from the world. The world is…

However at that time, when you did not know God, you were slaves to those which by nature are no gods. But now that you have come to know God, or rather to be known by God, how is it that you turn back again to the weak and worthless elemental things, to which you desire to be enslaved all over again? You observe…

Praise the Lord! Praise God in His sanctuary; Praise Him in His mighty expanse. Praise Him for His mighty deeds; Praise Him according to His excellent greatness. Praise Him with trumpet sound; Praise Him with harp and lyre. Praise Him with timbrel and dancing; Praise Him with stringed instruments and pipe. Praise Him with loud cymbals; Praise Him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord…

The fool has said in his heart, “There is no God.”                                                                  Psalm 14:1a  Atheism is one of the most difficult positions to take in this life. It requires that one declare all knowledge of the universe. One must have experienced everything there is to experience. And it requires an effort…

I do not nullify the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly.                                                                                                                  Galatians 2:21  As good and perfect as is the Law of God, there is still a problem. This problem is not with the Law itself rather in our ability…

The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the judgments of the Lord are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and the…

These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we…

The one who believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself; the one who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has given concerning His Son.                                                                                                                    1 John 5:10  To believe is…

For whatever is born of God overcomes the world; and this is the victory that has overcome the world—our faith.                                                                                                             1 John 5:4  Our faith in Jesus is powerful. Faith in Christ is what brings us salvation (John 3:16, Acts 16:31, Galatians 2:16). Our faith is the…
