Who do you think you are?
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

Give to God what is God’s
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

“Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good”
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

"I will set my justice for a light to the peoples"
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

We are all Sinners who Need a Savior
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

Believe with Your Heart, confess with your Actions
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

God is the First and the Last
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

Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden
Article for July 5, 2026 Matthew 11:25–26 25At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 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

We are chained to our sinful nature
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. If it feels good, then do it. Sounds like a good statement, however most forget to interpret what is a good feeling. You see there are many things

“Made righteous in the works of the Holy Spirit”
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!

Can you admit to your sin?
Article for June14, 2026 Matthew 9:35–36 35Jesus went throughout all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom and healing every disease and every affliction. 36When he saw the crowds, he had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Jesus said that the time has come, repent, and believe in the gospel. What this means is that in order to believe in the gospel we must firs

God is Waiting for His People
Article for June 7, 2026 Hosea 5:15 15I will return again to my place, until they acknowledge their guilt and seek my face, and in their distress earnestly seek me. This is the time towards the beginning of the Assyrian captivity. Hosea being the prophet to God’s people Israel. And at the same time of Hosea, Isaiah and Micah are prophets to God’s people Judah. The message from God through Hosea is quite simple. God is going back to His heavenly realm awaiting Israel to ad

“The Father was glorified by the Son”
Article for May 17, 2026 John 17:1–3 1When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent.

Jesus took the Punishment for our Sins
Article for April 26, 2026 John 10:7b–10 7b “Truly, truly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. 8 All who came before me are thieves and robbers, but the sheep did not listen to them. 9 I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. 10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.” No one goes to heaven without going through Jesus Christ who is the way, the t

Jesus died for all sin, past, present, and future
Article for April 19, 2026 1 Peter 1:17–19 17 If you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one’s deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. We call upon our Father in heaven each time we pray. Our pr

“Obey God rather than men”
Article for Sunday April 12, 2026 Acts 5:29-32 29 But Peter and the apostles answered, “We must obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised Jesus, whom you killed by hanging him on a tree. 31 God exalted him at his right hand as Leader and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are witnesses to these things, and so is the Holy Spirit, whom God has given to those who obey him.” The High Priest had just accused the Apostles of pr

The Transfiguration of Our Lord
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. Oh, to be an eyewitness to the coming and life of Jesus Christ. So many years has passed since one saw Jesus Christ with their own eyes. But there where eyewitnesses who not only saw Jesus, but they also walked with Jesus and saw the miracles and signs of the one true God

Jesus came to fulfill the Law
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

“Why were you looking for me?”
Article for January 4, 2026 Luke 2:40–42 40 The child [Jesus] grew and became strong, filled with wisdom. And the favor of God was upon him. 41 Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when he was twelve years old, they went up according to custom. One Hundred percent boy and one hundred percent God. I would almost bet that Jesus matured faster than any other boy at that time and even in our time. This is one hundred percent boy, b
