In Rev 21:5, the Lord said, Behold, I make all things new.  The Lord created everything.  But because of sin and corruption, in time, he will have to make all things new.  The Bible shows us some of the most important things that the Lord makes new.  The Lord makes:...

There is something about the kingdom of God that has become abundantly clear, lately. Jesus’ kingdom is not of this world. Jesus said to Pilate in Jn 18:36, “My kingdom is not of this world.”   The Lord’s kingdom is above; it’s not down here.  John the Baptist said, “He...

I discovered a very important principle recently.  We pray to God for him to bring our requests to pass.  And when we are urgent about getting the answer, we go straight to him with the request.  We need an answer and we want it now.  With this approach, we have...

In 2 Tim 2:1-4, Paul encouraged Timothy to be a good soldier.  I am reminded, every time I read this passage, that we are supposed to be soldiers of the cross.  We are to preach the cross despite opposition.  The council tried to stop Peter and the apostles from preaching...

In Ps 27:1-3 David asks, Whom shall I fear?  Of whom shall I be afraid?  The context of these questions is a fight.  Notice the references to the wicked, mine enemies, my foes, an host, and war.  We are in a fight.  Paul told Timothy to fight the good fight...

We had previously scheduled Caleb Caviness and his wife, Kelci, missionaries to the Republic of Congo, for Sunday night. After the “stay at home” order, we, unfortunately, had to cancel this meeting. However, when I awoke on Monday morning last week, it dawned on me that we could still “have...

God giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.  The resurrection of Jesus Christ takes you to the other side of life beyond the grave.  Because of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, God gives us: Victory over the sting of death – 1 Cor 15:55-56 – the...

1 Jn 5:6-8 is quite a passage of scripture in your Bible.  For the most part, Bible scholars and many preachers don’t believe that 1 Jn 5:7 should even be in your Bible.  They say that this verse is a late addition to scripture, that it isn’t in the “oldest...
