Do I have some good news for you? It is found in Exodus 34:6-7 “The LORD, the LORD GOD, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth; who keeps lovingkindness for thousands, who forgives iniquity, transgression, and sin…” Our God forgives — this means He releases us as offending sinners or […]

“Salvation – All Because of God’s Amazing Grace”
Let’s explore one of the most familiar verses in the New Testament … Ephesians 2:8 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is a gift of God.” One of my favorite verses is Hebrews 11:6 that says “But without faith, it is impossible to please Him, for […]
“The Gospel in One Verse”
The word ‘gospel’ means good news. The apostle Paul wrote in Romans 1:16 “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” What was the first verse of scripture you memorized? I […]
“A Name Way Above Every Other Name”
In Psalm 66:1-2 we read “Shout joyfully to God, all the earth; Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious.” The Psalmist is full of awe as he considers the name of our God and His marvelous deeds. Numerous times in the Scriptures we read of individuals hearing God’s voice or witnessing some […]
“Hope”
We cannot live very long without hope. Biblically it is a very strong word – it means to expect something with confidence. God promised it. I believe it. That settles it. In Psalm 39:7, David said,” And now LORD, what do I wait for? My hope is in you.” In Psalm 71:5-8 we read “For […]
“Casting Our Cares Upon Christ”

“Temptation”
I’m pretty sure that I am safe in saying that all of us are faced with temptation. Satan will see to that. I know I am safe in saying that God, who loves us, will not tempt us. In James 1:13-15, we read, “No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by […]
“The Name of God”
This meditation is going to be primarily scriptures that talk about the name of God and what it means to us. I hope you will look up these scriptures and highlight them in your Bible and reflect on them. God’s name implies “the whole combination of divine perfections.” Psalm 52:9 tells us that God’s name […]
“Facing the Future with God”
We are about to enter a new year that I believe will be very challenging for us in many ways. I am challenging myself and you, that no matter what we face, we hold the course knowing that our LORD is with us and He will champion our cause. The Apostle Paul challenged the Christians […]
“Overview of Coming Events”
One thing is certain – whatever God’s word predicts, will come to pass. God does not change, and neither does His word. Listen to the expressions of the Apostle Peter – 1:23-25 ESV – “Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God, […]
