“And Moses said to his father-in-law, Hoban, “We are setting out for the place of which the LORD said, I will give it to you.’ Come with us, and we will do good to you, for the LORD has promised good to Israel.” But he said to him, “I will not go”. And Moses said, […]

THE GUILTY DOG
“My guilt has overwhelmed me like a burden too heavy to bear.” Ps 38:4 “I confess my iniquity; I am troubled by my sin.” Ps 38:18 King David, “the man after God’s heart,” carried tremendous GUILT when he was brought to face his sins of stealing another man’s wife and having her husband killed in […]
BEING BUILT UP AS A SPIRITUAL HOUSE
1 Peter 2:4–5 4 As you come to him, the living Stone—rejected by humans but CHOSEN by God and PRECIOUS to him— 5 you also, like LIVING STONES, ARE BEING BUILT UP INTO A SPIRITUAL HOUSE, to be a holy HOLLY PRIESTHOOD, offering spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” Here Peter explains that being a […]
Consequences
Do we understand that there are positive consequences for obeying God and negative consequences for disobeying God. The Bible is very clear. OUR ACTIONS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. If we are truly saved, we can never lose our salvation (Ephesians 1:13-14.) However, how God treats us is determined by our actions. God wants and expects us to […]
LEARN TO LIVE AS FREE PEOPLE
“Live as people who are free, not using your freedom as a cover-up for evil, but living as servants of God.” 1Pet 2:16 Our God created each of us as ” free moral agents.” We have the freedom to choose our lifestyles and standards. Peter admonishes us to use our freedom as servants of […]

WHACK JOB ON THE SABBATH
“So then, there remains a Sabbath rest for the people of God” Heb 4:9 Christians in America have made a mockery of Sunday’s and turned Sunday from a Holy day to a recreational and workday. Sunday night services have been scuttled with “Going Out of Business” signs! Rest assured church attendance does not insure worship. […]
WE CANNOT RUN AWAY FROM GOD
“If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me.” Ps 139:9-10 When we become Christ’s adopted children, we are His! We might deny Jesus like Peter did, but Jesus continues in our midst […]
ANTICIPATION IS THE HEIGTH OF PARTICIPATION
You have said, “Seek my face.” My heart says to you, “Your face, LORD, do I seek.” Ps 27:8 Much joy can be derived from anticipation. Just think of the joy of anticipation of the Super Bowl recently . Not since Moses saw the face of God on the mountain has any man seen God’s […]
