Revering the Word

The level of detail in the Bible speaks to its authenticity. I wish more were faithful to reading the Word like you.

In the events surrounding Paul’s trials and God’s predestined plan for Him to go to Rome we see God’s determinism at work? Does God always determine the course for our lives? What about free will? …

Paul’s trials give him an opportunity to proclaim the Way of Jesus before the rulers and authorities.

God is orchestrating the events to get Paul to Rome. Paul’s future imprisonment led to us receiving many of Paul’s New Testament Epistles. Prison for Paul may have very well been one of the church’…

The Jews lost sight of ministry to the nations and Paul uses his testimony to attempt to reach them. May we use our testimony about how God changed us to be a light to the nations.

Following God’s ways lead to blessing in this life and eternal life. Delight yourself in Jesus and you won't be disappointed, especially when you rise up and receive the eternal view from heaven.

Have you entertained sin? Perhaps you have gone too far. Recognize it and take aggressive action to remove it from your life.

One of the most dangerous places to be is a place where we have no fear of God. One of the most blessed places to be is to experience the lovingkindness (hesed) of God.
