5 Ways To Weigh a Preacher’s Words

How many sermons have you heard in your life? How many have you heard in the last year? How many were memorable? How many left an eternal mark inside of you adding to the very makeup of your being? Leonard Ravenhill said to his son, “Be careful when you preach, because if you don’t have a word...

No Loafing Allowed

 I want to talk about fresh bread in today’s post. Well, sorta. Mostly because as I glance over the whole of chapter 7 of John’s Gospel, it consistently has this one theme jump out regarding bread and feeding hearts and souls.  For time sake, we’ll mostly look at the latter portion of...

Religious Blinders

On my personal blog site, I’ve been trying to write a post on each chapter of the Gospel of John which is probably my favorite of the Gospel accounts, but it’s been taking me longer than I thought as I keep finding such depth in simple little truths, as well as having other things on my plate...

What Is The Word of God?

All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has...

New Life In Christ, part 3

As we continue through Paul’s admonition to walk out our “new life in Christ” in Ephesians 4:17-24 we now come to verse nineteen which reads as follows: They have become callous and have given themselves up to sensuality, greedy to practice every kind of impurity.

New Life in Christ, part 2

In my previous study article, we looked in depth at the seventeenth verse of chapter four in the letter to the Ephesians about not walking (patterning our way of life) after the Gentiles (those who do not know God) who walk in the futility of their minds.
