Well, it’s a new month and with a new month comes a new opportunity to study God’s word. This month, we will be looking at the Gospel of Mark. This book of the Bible is said to be the “gospel in a hurry” because it is short in length. If you read one chapter of…

By this the love of God was manifested in us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world so that we might live through Him.                                                                                                                       1 John 4:9  Today, we conclude with a look at the final characteristic of love or as used…

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give what is good to those who ask Him!                                                                                                                        Matthew 7:11 We have already looked at the first of three characteristics that…

Then the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great on the earth, and that every intent of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. The Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.                                                                                                                    Genesis 6:5-6 We are coming to…

Be devoted to one another in brotherly love; give preference to one another in honor…                                                                                                                  Romans 12:10  You can observe it all throughout society, devotion to a cause or organization, creating a brotherhood of everyone belonging to the group. Take professional sports; two individuals who know nothing about…

In everything, therefore, treat people the same way you want them to treat you, for this is the Law and the Prophets.                                                                                                                    Matthew 7:12 If there was just one verse in the entire Bible that has the power to dramatically change the world, I believe it would be today’s…

If I then, the Lord and the Teacher, washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet. For I gave you an example that you also should do as I did to you.                                                                                                             John 13:14-15 We have already looked at godliness as being demonstrated through love, patience,…

Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God; and everyone who loves is born of God and knows God. The one who does not love does not know God, for God is love.                                                                                                                         1 John 4:7-8  When you think of “being godly” or “having godliness”, what comes to…

Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world.                                                                                                                    1 Peter 5:8-9  We have already looked…

If the world hates you, you know that it has hated Me before it hated you. If you were of the world, the world would love its own; but because you are not of the world, but I chose you out of the world, because of this the world hates you.                                                                                                 …
