Article for March 8, 2026 Romans 5:1–8  1 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Article for Wednesday March 4, 2026       Repentance extends beyond confession alone ; true believers must desire reconciliation with God and resolve to cease serving sin, self, or other authorities, instead committing to live according to God’s will.  Merely admitting wrongdoing while refusing to submit to God’s truth about change doesn’t constitute repentance—rather, repentance means agreeing with God’s evaluation of sin and willingly following His direction forward. Positi

Article for Sunday March 1, 2026 Romans 4:1–3  1 What then shall we say was gained by Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh? 2 For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” There is a massive amount of people who believe they need to be good to go to church.  Also, there are as many who think only the good will go to hea

Article for Wednesday February 25, 2026 Matthew 12:38–39 38 Then some of the scribes and Pharisees answered him, saying, “Teacher, we wish to see a sign from you.” 39 But he answered them, “An evil and adulterous generation seeks for a sign, but no sign will be given to it except the sign of the prophet Jonah.

Article for February 15, 2026 Romans 5:12–14  12 Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13 for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. We are starting the season of Lent. 

Article for Ash Wednesday February 18, 2026 Matthew 6:19–21  19 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, 20 but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21 For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” I have said this before; we put more importance on this life than we do on our real life to come.  That i

Article for February 15, 2026 2 Peter 1:16  16 For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty.

Article for Sunday February 8, 2026 Matthew 5:17  17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. Jesus Christ has made Himself known to the world around Him.  Not the whole world but in part that which is the people of God, the Israelites.  We know Israel was brought up on the laws God gave to Moses for His people Israel.  God’s laws are what we know as the Ten Commandments.  The law has certain deman

Article for February 1, 2026 Micah 6:8 8 He has told you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God? God has told us through His word what is good and right and bad and wrong.  Yet the world wants and thinks it has the right to choose for themselves what is right and what is wrong.  And the people who believe, or say they believe, step aside many times and let the world rule.  Our world

Article for Wednesday Dec 17, 2025   James 5:7a  7 Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord .

Article for December 14, 2025 Matthew 1:24b and they shall call his name Immanuel” (which means, God with us).
