Our God is eternal, He has not had a beginning and will never have an ending. He is Jehovah, the eternally self-existing God. He is all-sufficient, self-sufficient, and ever-sufficient God of the universe. "He counts the number of the stars, He gives names to all of them. Great is our Lord and abundant in strength; His understanding is infinite&rdq…

Two of the continuing, never ending, always abounding attributes of God are His love and His faithfulness. How could we serve a God who is anything less than infinite at both? God is the source of love, an eternal essence of God’s character. The greatest expression of His love to us is the cross on which Jesus died on. “John 3:16 shows …

All sins show a desire or a delight, or a preference for them more than a preference for God. We do not love God with all our heart, mind, soul, and strength, and thus fall short of the glory of God. We need to love an infinite being in an appropriate way and not lust after things of such finite value. Why do we not do that? The Lord knows that the…

Last week we looked at John 14:15 and 16, and we saw Jesus giving a conditional promise that if we loved Him we would keep His commandments and He would send another Helper to us, One that would be with us forever. We saw that these are not big theological words to understand but we are dealing with the Trinity here and though this was quite new to…

Last week we mentioned verses in John 14 during our look at being successful in 2021. Though the key verse we honed in on was Rev.3:8, John 14:15, and 16 is what we would like to look at today. Jesus is preparing His disciples for His nearing departure and for Whom they should look forward to receiving. They are troubled and afraid and understandab…

Success, what is it? What does it take to find it? Can we accomplish it? Everyone wants to be successful, don't they? Winning the big game, being well known, or making a lot of money, can all be signs of success. If you could be successful at one thing in your life, what would it be? What would you give up to accomplish it? What would motivate you …

It is again that time of year. A New Year is dawning, ready to see the old year fade away. A new start, a new beginning, a new day of sorts, so what are we to do with it as Christians? As always, New Years resolutions from A to Z abound every where. Are any kept successfully? Can they be kept successfully? How can they be kept successfully? Let&rsq…

Last week we looked at three scenarios that the Christian will inevitably find himself in, sooner or later. First, that of being anxious, second that of needing direction in which way to go, and thirdly fear about getting old. We looked at the scriptures, the mind of God, to find wisdom from the infinite One how best to navigate through these chall…

Life is sure full of many obstacles, challenges, and tribulations, is it not? And, oh so much more for the believer in, and follower of, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.  Job 5:7 states, "For man is born for trouble, as sparks fly upward."  And Psalm 34:19 states, "Many are the afflictions of the righteous." Temptations from wi…

Two weeks ago we looked at what resisting the Spirit was, who does it, and how it affected God. In Acts 7:51, we saw the word or action used by Stephen, the only place in the Bible where that word is used, and found that the regenerating work of the Spirit was resisted. And this was done by those who are not born again. And last week we looked at w…
