“Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to depart from wickedness.” Now in a large house there are not only gold and silver vessels, but also vessels of wood and of clay, and some to honor and some to dishonor. Therefore, if anyone cleanses himself from these things, he will be a vessel for honor, sanctified, useful to the Master, having been prepared for every good work. Now flee from youthful lusts and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, with … Continue reading Everyone who…

Yahweh is good

“Make a loud shout to Yahweh, all the earth. Serve Yahweh with gladness; Come before Him with joyful songs.

There is no unrighteousness in Him

“But You have raised up my horn like that of the wild ox; I have been anointed with fresh oil. And my eye has looked exultantly upon my foes, My ears hear of the evildoers who rise up against me. The righteous man will flourish like the palm tree, He will grow like a cedar in Lebanon. Planted in the house of Yahweh, They will flourish in the courts of our God. They will still yield fruit in old age; They shall be rich and fresh, To declare that Yahweh is upright; He is my rock, and there is no … Continue reading There is no unrighteousness in Him

Upon the palms of my hands

“And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, The spirit of grace and of supplications: And they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, And they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, And shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.” Zechariah 12:10 The restorer of Israel is the one who is the light to the gentiles and God’s salvation unto the ends of the earth: ‘”And he said, It is a light thing that thou shouldest be my servant … Continue reading Upon the palms of my hands

The new is not found under the sun

“I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards. I made me gardens and orchards. I made me pools of water, that by these I might rear woods producing trees. I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had large possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me. I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces. I gat me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as cups and the … Continue reading The new is not found under the sun

Be steadfast

So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” “O  Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?” The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord. 1 … Continue reading Be steadfast

That ye may stand perfect and complete

For I bear him record, that he hath a great zeal for you, and them that are in Laodicea, and them in Hierapolis.” – Colossians 4:12–13 Love the people at the end of Paul’s letters that he recognizes. Keep praying for those you care about in the Lord and may it be said of us that we “hath a great zeal” for those we are “fervently” praying for … Continue reading That ye may stand perfect and complete
