Psalms

Psalm 139:13-16 says “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.” In today’s society, abortion is an issue that is…

the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death” (ESV). God has nothing to do with evildoing. Psalms 5:4 declares, “For you are not a God, who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you” (ESV). Those who participated in the scandal, got away with nothing God knows their doings and will command…

During the apostle Paul imprisonment, he wrote a letter to the church, in the book of Colossians. The apostle Paul intent was for the people to live as best they could, the life that Jesus lived. These were the instructions that he gave to the church. Epaphras is believed to have founded the church (Col. 1:7). He communicated with Paul while he was in prison, letting Paul know a couple of things was taking place. Although some people were getting saved in the church there was still a lot…

Distractions are all around us, and often they can send our head spinning. But is there a possibility much like when a person gets paroxysmal positional vertigo, that all these distractions could throw us off the pathway leading to Christ? In our inner ear we have two labyrinths First the Static labyrinth, which consists of the utricle and Saccule. Second, we have the dynamic labyrinth which consists of three semicircular canals, in this section of our ear there are little hairs called…

Bible and through His creation. Therefore, it is of the utmost importance to recognize that God is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient enabling him with the ability to judge our every thought and action. For example, according to scripture in Psalm 113:4-6, “For the LORD is high above the nations; his glory is far greater than the heavens, who can be compared with the LORD our God, who is enthroned on high? Far below him are the heavens and the earth,” signifies his power and supremacy. Also…

showing that the Devil is already in the community and the towns people can do nothing to stop it Later in the paragraph, Mather uses a quote for the book of Psalms which says, “Many a time have thy afflicted me, from my youth, may New-England now say; many time have they afflicted me from my youth; yet they have not prevailed against me” (Psalm 129:1-2). The New-Englanders knew the Devil created their suffering time and time again. Having the word “New England” placed into this verse makes the…

My Personal Salvation Testimony Before I jump into how incredible my Savior’s timing is, I wanted to tell you more about myself. I was baptized as a baby and went to Sunday school but I didn’t really love God. It may be because I only went to church on Easter and Christmas or it may be because I always prayed for a horse and never got one. While my faith has been rocky one thing has always been constant, my passion for all things Disney! It isn’t called “the happiest place on earth” for nothing…

Many people from all over the world have argued that their religion is the one true religion. No matter how compelling their argument might be, Christianity will always offer far more than any other religion possibly could. Numerous people have stated that all religions are right. This is, in fact, false. There are 19 major religions in the world and 270 large religious groups in the world. There have been around 34,000 separate Christian groups discovered around the world (Robinson). Some…

mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly[a] with your God.” Micah 6:8. Many times in the scripture God is described as a God who loves justice, e.g., Isaiah 61:8, Job 34:12, Psalm 9:7-8, 2 Chronicles 19:7 and Deuteronomy 32:4. In “The Little book of Biblical Justice,” Chris Marshall did an exceptional and outstanding job illustrating what the Bible says about justice and what God is expecting from us when talking about…

of the Passover with them before he suffered, and it was also the first Holy Supper of the Christian Church. During the supper, he taught them a lesson of humility and talked with them tenderly and served them. At the end of the dinner, they sung a psalm together and he asked them to always believe him and no matter what happened never change their faith in God. He told them to live from him, like a branch lives from the vine, for he was the true spiritual vine, and without him they could do…
