Sorrowful
Riches can have such a tight hold on man. They grip our hearts in ways very few other things can, but praise God all chains can be broken by Christ!
The Heart
A heart for God is developed in a man by believing in the heart and obeying from the heart, and is tested in words that come from the heart.
Sanctify Them
To be sanctified is to be separated from profane things and dedicated to God, to be purified for use by God. This was Jesus' prayer for His disciples.
Selected Psalms
The Psalms provide comfort and help and encouragement when we face our most difficult moments in life. As we note in this podcast, for good reason.
All Men
There should never be a limitation a Christian's scope of concern for people, but our passage of the day doesn't fail to give us specifics.
Lacking Wisdom
Our passage of the day begins by contradicting human thinking. It tells us to have joy at the most inconvenient times and reminds us to ask for wisdom.
I Beseech You
Paul calls the Roman church to His side in this passage, exhorting them to actively, daily, and deliberately present their whole selves to God.
Thinking
That which is included in our passage of the day must be taken into account. We must reckon with it - inwardly. It must occupy our thinking.
Be Made Whole
A man, unable to walk for 38 years, is waiting for healing near the pool of Bethesda, when Jesus arrives and asks "wilt thou be made whole?"
Come and See
In John 1:43-50 Philip tells Nathanael what he believes about Jesus. When a question is raised, Philip simply says "come and see."
Aged and Young
Godly character crosses all age and gender boundaries, but men and women are equipped in different ways, and equipped in different ways at different ages.
Forget Not
To forget is common to man. We are a forgetful people. Thankfully, God has provided reminders in His word. This Psalm is a good place to start.
Whole Duty
If things done for ourselves are empty, what then can be done? What is it that is meaningful? These two verses (Ecclesiastes 12:12-13) tell us.
I WIll Follow
Do we have a desire to follow Jesus and have we made this known to Him and to others? If so, have we considered what it will mean?
He Had Compassion
The test of our neighborliness is not in proximity, it is a test of our compassion that must certainly come forth of commitment to the God of compassion.
Sent Forth
In the church at Antioch, as we find it in Acts 13, there are men committed to local ministry. As we read, we observe the Holy Spirit prompting them beyond!
Serving and Supervising
Bondservants and masters who have faith in Christ are responsible to Him and all of their worldly service must be "as unto Him."
Your Calling
If we can follow Paul's example and heed his advice, we can learn to maximize our role in the church and develop an effective local church ministry.
Fruit of the Spirit
A common phrase in Christianity appears in Galatians 5: the fruit of the Spirit. It's a way of describing attributes that God works within us to develop.
Who is He?
Regular listeners know that Jesus is the name that crosses our lips more than any other. Today we review New Testament passages asking "who is He?"
Unrighteousness of Men
The world is filled with unrighteousness and men who work unrighteousness. Romans 1 confirms both statements and provides details.
A Wicked Generation
In a wicked generation, Noah walked with God. He found grace in the eyes of the Lord and he chose obedience in extraordinary circumstances.
Trust in the Lord
Proverbs 3:5-6 are two of the most-quoted verses in Christianity. They are well-known because they sum up, in a few words, God's mandate for disciples.
Consider One Another
If we are a member of the body the Bible calls the church, what are our responsibilities? Two verses in Hebrews 10 will help us "Consider One Another" today.
A Father's Instruction
In the passage we examine today, Solomon gives instruction to his children. Among other things, Proverbs 4 urges them to pursue wisdom and understanding.
His Yoke
Today we're going to be talking about the Bible's mention of a farming implement. Jesus tells us what it means to take up his yoke in Matthew 11:28-30.
The God Who Revives
Today, we're going to travel with Ezekiel to a valley filled with dry bones, where God will ask him (in Ezekiel 37:3) can these bones live?
Take Up Your Cross
Denial of self is a radical concept for any individual, but it is one of the keys to successful discipleship. Jesus says "Take Up Your Cross" in Mark 8.
Love One Another
We find a command in this passage. It is something we often find difficult to do, but God gives grace. "Love One Another" today from John 13.
Be Faithful
Those of us who know Christ as Savior are described in I Corinthians 4:1-5. And we are reminded how we should behave: faithfully, as stewards.
