In Matthew 24, Jesus tells us that in the last days, "because wickedness will increase, the love of many will grow cold". (Matt 24:12) The opposite of love isn't hate. It is indifference. Has mankind ever been more indifferent? We're hateful to those who disagree with our ideals and morals,...

This verse comes from Peter’s first epistle (letter), which is fifty percent instruction and fifty percent pep talk. He was writing to new, mostly gentile churches in far away places, which was normally Paul's tribe. Peter knew that persecution of the Church was growing and he hoped to encourage these...
A lovely verse found within a somewhat uncomfortable truth. Paul tells us of being caught up to Paradise, hearing beautiful revelations from God, "inexpressible things, things a man is not permitted to tell". (2 Cor 12:3-4) He continues, revealing that he was "given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger...
In his second letter to the church at Corinth, Paul is not only encouraging, but also recounts that believers died with Christ, so to speak, and we now live FOR Him. Sin was nailed to the cross and buried with Him and now meekness, humility, kindness and generosity are in...
Paul’s letters normally include his upcoming plans; where he hopes to travel next, who and when he hopes to visit, but it’s clear in his second letter to Timothy that he is no longer making future plans. His execution is imminent. In fact, Paul pleads with Timothy to gather Mark...
Facing imminent martyrdom, Paul writes to Timothy and his correspondence is wrought with emotion and a warning. Paul encourages Timothy to "...preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage with great patience and careful instruction". But Paul also warns Timothy to be persistent,...

Paul wrote letters to handful churches while imprisoned; Colosse being one of those churches. He delivers a familiar message to a church being polluted by heresy. Paul urges the Colossians to embrace the Jesus to whom they were originally introduced, and through whom all sin is forgiven. (Col 1:13-14, 22-23)...
As uncomfortable as it is for unbelievers and believers alike, the topic Jesus spoke most about other than God the Father, was falling prey to Satan. Jesus called us to be alert and sober, prepared to battle the adversary and withstand temptation, and to be ready at all times for...

In Ephesians 6:11 and 6:13, Paul directs the Ephesian Christians to suit up. They're heading into battle! But… the foes he describes in verse 12... Mere mortal man is not the opponent in this fight. Instead, Paul describes evil rulers, authorities in the unseen places, mighty powers in the "dark"...
Short version: when Queen Vashti falls out of favor, Esther is eventually selected by the king to replace her. When Hamen dupes the king into annihilating the Jews, Esther's cousin Mordecai proposes that perhaps Esther has assumed her role, "... for such a time as this.". She calls for prayer...
I have always imagined that the first six days of creation must have sounded like a comic book looks. And I suspect that may be how some of the world's earliest living "smarties" got their creation doctrine upside down. It wasn’t THE big bang. It was GOD’S big bang. Ya...
Jesus told His followers that He would be put to death and would rise again three days later, but the gospels illustrate the confusion and panic they felt when His tomb was found to be empty. Enter angels! That’s right, there was an angelic presence at Jesus’ tomb that day....

Faith is a foundational necessity to follow Jesus, but not an illogical, blind-but-with-fingers-crossed kind of faith held up to ridicule by some. No, studied and firm faith gives us the ability to lay hold of and experience God's promises that have not yet fully come to pass. Our faith is...
This verse is legit… times two! Originally stated by Moses just before his death and repeated by the elegant, but unknown writer of Hebrews. In both circumstances, the words are directed at God’s people who are pressing onward to the promised land. In Deuteronomy 31:6, the verse is applied as...
One theme noticeable throughout the book of Hebrews is that God's plan didn't change with the introduction of the new covenant. The writer is telling us that God's intention was to replace the old with the new all along, but not because He changed. Looking to the men of faith...
Hebrew 4:12 tell us that The Word of God is alive and active, sharper than any two-edged sword. John 1:1-2 tells us that The Word of God is God. The Word is Christ Jesus, who is living and dynamic, healing and comforting, changing lives and piercing souls as well. God's...
The book of Isaiah is chock full of God's reassurances for the people of Israel, but in this verse in particular He tells them that not only have they been called to be His servants, He is there to love and care for them. No, it wasn't easy, but He...
Isaiah’s ministry was from 740-700 BC. Chapter 53 of Isaiah is referred to as the Suffering Servant passage, and was written almost 800 years before Jesus’ time. Historically accurate, theologically precise, and undeniably about Jesus, Isaiah penned prophecy, not history. For hundreds of years critics argued that chapters 40 and...
God gave Isaiah this and many other prophecies about Messiah some 700 years before Jesus’ ministry began. Although Isaiah 9:6 is more about the birth and lineage of Jesus, it is the many titles He will be given that make this verse a standout. Some scholars assert that this verse...
