Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God’s elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness – faith and knowledge resting on the hope of eternal life, which God, who does not lie, promised before the beginning of time, and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior, To Titus, my true son in our common faith. Titus 1:1-4 Read the Book of Titus. In verse 4, Paul called Titus “my true son in our common faith.”…

Reflection Day
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 Today is Reflection Day! I love reflection day. It’s a time for me to go back and reflect on what God has spoken to me. It gives me time to pray and seek God about what he wants to change in my life. It gives me time to make a game plan of putting action to what God is telling me and asking of me. Reflection Day gives me a slower pace to grasp what God is telling me. It gives me more time to…

Prayer Time
Our Father in heaven, Your name is honored as holy. Your kingdom come. Your Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. And do not bring us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. [For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.] Let’s take some time and focus on prayer. Look up these verses and glean from them. Prayer! It’s a conversation with God. Do you struggle with praying? Is it intimidating to you to pray to God? Is there a right way to…

Stumbling Not!
” Whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him if a great millstone were hung around his neck and were thrown into the sea. And if your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. You should enter life crippled than to have two hands to go to hell, to the unquenchable fire. And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. You should enter life lame than with two feet to be thrown into hell. And if your eyes cause you to sin, tear it out. You should enter the kingdom of God with one eye…

Who Will Go To Heaven
“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my father who is in heaven. On that day, many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, your workers are Lawlessness. Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus taught the carrying out God’s purposes and desire was a condition for entering the kingdom of heaven. This does not mean that we can earn spiritual…

Warning To Heed!
I am all about to go the way of all the earth. Be strong, and show yourself a man, and keep the charge of the Lord your God, walking in His ways and keep His statutes, his commandments, his rules, and his testimonies, as it is written in the law of Moses that you may prosper in all that you do and wherever you turn, that the Lord May establish his word that he spoke concerning me, saying, If your sons pay close attention to their way to walk before me in faithfulness with all of their heart and with all their soul, you shall lack a man on the…

Obeying God
And Samuel said, Has the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams. For rebellion is as the sin of divination, and presumption is as iniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of the Lord, he has also rejected you from being king. 1 Samuel 15: 22-23 Obeying God is better than sacrifice. Obeying God comes from a true heart. Obeying God is better than the outward form of worship, service, or personal gift. Saul’s sin was placing his ideas over God’s. People will…

Fear The Lord
If you will fear the Lord and serve him and obey his voice and not rebel against the commandment of the Lord, and if both you and the King who reigns over you will follow the Lord your God, it will be well. But if you will not obey the voice of the Lord, but rebel against the commandment of the Lord, then the hand of the Lord will be against you and your King. 1 Samual 12:14-15 Samuel is speaking here about God’s blessing, and the nation’s welfare was not dependent on having a king. Their reverence is to God and their obedience to his word. Samuel had the…
