Article for September 20, 2026 Isaiah 55:6 6“Seek the Lord while he may be found; call upon him while he is near; God is near yet we are so far away. God is always near, though we do not act like He is near. We act like God is in heaven and heaven is very far away. God is near and so is heaven. We do not acknowledge that God is near because we think we cannot see Him, and in many cases that is true. The question is do you only see with your physical eyes? We live in a

Article for September 13, 2026 Romans 14:1–2 1As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. 2One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Do you have great faith? And how do you measure that faith. Do you measure it by the works you do? Do you measure your faith by how many times a year you attend church services? Or do you measure your faith by comparing it with others? I know, I ask too many

Article for September 6, 2026 Romans 13:1–2 1Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. 2Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. We have many authorities; some are good and some not so good. It is the nature of mankind cursed with a sinful nature. It may be difficult to understand why God woul

Article for August 30, 2026 Romans 12:9–10 9Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. 10Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do you understand loving one another apart from the world view? The world thinks love is an act of condoning one’s actions or beliefs. This is not love, it’s actually closer to hate. If you love someone, would you allow them to go down the wrong path? Or would you try to prove to th

Article for August 23, 2026 Isaiah 51:1 1“Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness, you who seek the Lord: look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry from which you were dug. Some try to see their righteousness through their good works, some just think too highly of themselves and some think to lord it over others makes them feel righteous. Yet, our righteousness is not measured on what we do because we are never righteous by our own works or deeds. Our

Article for August 16, 2026 Romans 11:1–2a 1I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. 2God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. . . . An answer given that many of our esteemed theologians should read and take in. Some will say the Jews now worship a different God because they do not believe in Jesus Christ as the Son of God. It is true that some of the Jews do not

Article for August 9, 2026 Romans 10:5–6 5Moses writes about the righteousness that is based on the law, that the person who does the commandments shall live by them. 6But the righteousness based on faith says, “Do not say in your heart, ‘Who will ascend into heaven?’” (that is, to bring Christ down) We love to preach the law. We can do it so well that we anger people and they run from God. It is not our calling to make people run away from God but to run towards God. Howe

Article for August 2, 2026 Isaiah 55:1 1“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. In John 7:37, Jesus says if anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. Another name for Jesus is water and not just any water but the water that gives life. Water is a very important commodity needed by all of God’s creatures and mankind too. Water is also another commodity that ma

Article for July 26, 2026 Romans 8:28–29 28We know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. 29For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. There are many who ask if God is a god. The answer is not whether God is a god but that God is the only God. Many people think that if there is a god then he will

Article for July 19, 2026 Isaiah 44:6–7a 6Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: “I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god. 7Who is like me? Let him proclaim it. Let him declare and set it before me, since I appointed an ancient people. It’s hard to explain, God is the first and the last because He is the only one true God. Harder to explain is God has no beginning and has no end. God is and always will be. Here I

Article for July 12, 2026 Isaiah 55:10–11 10“For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven and do not return there but water the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, 11so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and shall succeed in the thing for which I sent it.

Seems like Jesus has a problem with the wise people of the Israelites. Or is Jesus being facetious. Those who were thought of as wise among the Israelites were the Pharisees, the Sadducees, and the Scribes

Article for June 28, 2026 Romans 7:21–23 21So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. 22For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, 23but I see in my members another law waging war against the law of my mind and making me captive to the law of sin that dwells in my members.

Article for June 21, 2026 Romans 6:12–13 12Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal bodies, to make you obey their passions. 13Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness. The keynote is this, we should present ourselves as though we are going to be brought back from death into life eternal. Think about this!

Article for May 31, 2026 Matthew 28:16 16Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. Matthew tells us that two Marys had gone to the grave of Jesus. Jesus spoke to both Marys as they were on their way to tell the apostles what they had seen. Jesus was telling them to tell His disciples to go to Galilee. (Matthew 28:10). We assume that the eleven disciples in this case are the remaining eleven apostles as Judas had committed
