Romans 8:28-30 CJB “Furthermore, we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called in accordance with his purpose; 29 because those whom he knew in advance, he also determined in advance would be conformed to the pattern of his Son, so that he might...

1938 wasn't all that long ago. World War II lasted from 1939-1945, but as you can see, there was a lead-up to the war. November 9, 1938, is known as the night of the broken glass. On this evil night, German Jews were targeted. The Nazis attacked the shops, synagogues, schools, and homes; glass was... Continue Reading →
Cheshvan is the eighth month on the Hebrew calendar and represents a new beginning and life. Jesus said, “I have come so that they may have life, life in its fullest measure,” that’s what existed in the garden of Eden and was lost through temptation and sin. John 10:10 NKJV “The thief does not come... Continue Reading →
Several days into my ninety-day Bible plan, I realized I was reading slowly and thinking about the text, so I decided to disregard the schedule and take my time. That said, if you would like to follow more of my day-to-day thoughts, you can do so on Instagram. It has been twenty-one days, and I... Continue Reading →
Do you ever get discouraged when standing in faith? Do you look at the time gone by and think; God would have done it by now? Maybe it is not God’s will to heal me. I don’t know about you, but believing for healing is something I’ve struggled with; I’ve heard all kinds of things... Continue Reading →
The Torah begins with the words, in the beginning God, and it ends with great blessings on the twelve tribes of Israel. From beginning to end, the Bible is the Word of God. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 NKJV “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17...

The instructions for the Feast of Tabernacles are found in Leviticus 23:33-44, and I encourage you to read them. We will start, however, in John 1:14 TLV "And the Word became flesh and tabernacled among us. We looked upon His glory, the glory of the one and only from the Father, full of grace and...

Do you know what I find ironic looking back over the last two years? When state governments told churches to close, they did. In some states like California and Nevada, casinos and strip clubs were open, but churches had to shut down. Some Christian celebrities got together and thought they could solve the problem by...

Do you remember all the memory verses from your childhood? Probably not. I grew up hearing topical messages and listening to Charismatic preachers, and while I know a decent amount of Bible stories, I have realized in the last year that I do not know the whole Bible as well as I would like to....

How often do you think about the coming of the Lord? Until recently, it wasn't something that crossed my mind. At the end of last year, I read the book of Revelation and quasi-studied it. I find myself there again. The book frightened me as a kid; the idea of the anti-Christ, armageddon, wars, and... Continue Reading →
Deuteronomy 11:26-32 CJB “See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse — 27 the blessing, if you listen to the mitzvot of Adonai your God that I am giving you today; 28 and the curse, if you don’t listen to the mitzvot of Adonai your God, but turn aside from the way I am ordering you today and follow other gods that you...

The Fall Feasts are the only remaining feasts yet to be fulfilled. Jesus gave a warning in two parables in... Continue Reading →
There is an interesting verse in Genesis chapter four that we have all read countless times, but today I realized God Himself gave us the key to victory over sin. Genesis 4:1-10 NKJV "Now Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore Cain, and said, “I have acquired a man from the Lord.” 2 Then she bore... Continue Reading →
How can something so vile as a cross used to murder millions be considered beautiful? Because at a set time in history, the selfless Son of God freely gave His life on that instrument to redeem mankind. John 19:17-20 LSB "They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place... Continue Reading →
