The other day, my brother sent us this portion of scripture.
It’s a good one.
Incline your ear, O LORD, and answer me,
for I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for I am godly;
save your servant, who trusts in you—you are my God.
Be gracious to me, O Lord,
for to you do I cry all the day.
Gladden the soul […]
“And will manifest myself to him.”—John 14:21.
“The Lord Jesus gives special revelations of Himself to His people. Even if Scripture did not declare this, there are many of the children of God who could testify the truth of it from their own experience. They have had manifestations of their Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in […]
“For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all…”
(I Cor. 5.14 NIV)
Christ’s Spirit indwells us,
And His love compels us,
To go and love with the love we are shown.
As salt and as light,
To inflame and ignite,
The passions of those estranged and alone.
And when we obey,
These frail jars of clay
Are overflowing with […]
“Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”
Matthew 11:19b ESV
What a great verse!
As I’ve been working on my second paper for my NT Survey course, I’ve noticed several constant themes in a number of the Pauline epistles. Paul’s consistently takes time in the beginning of each epistle to write encouragement and thanksgiving to the recipients of his letters. And he is not merely buttering them up, or […]
Yesterday, I read through Romans. And this portion, which my Bible entitles ’Marks of the true Christian,’ jumped out at me:
“Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. […]
This morning, as part of my NT Survey, I read through the gospel of Mark in one sitting. If you’ve never done it, I highly recommend it…very edifying.
We have a full weekend.
Tonight, we have a baby shower for our friends Amy and Andrew.
Tomorrow, we are having a fondue birthday party for my sister Lydia at […]

This morning, during my devotions, I read this very timely passage:
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds […]
“But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed” (Matthew 27:14 ESV).
“He had never been slow of speech when He could bless the sons of men, but He would not say a single word for Himself. ‘Never man spake like this Man,’ and never man […]
“Jesus said unto them, ‘If ye seek me, let these go their way.’”
(John 18.8 KJV)
“Mark, my soul, the care which Jesus manifested even in His hour of trial, towards the sheep of His hand! The ruling passion is strong in death. He resigns Himself to the enemy, but He interposes a word of power to […]
