While reading the devotional reading for today in My Daily Bible app a couple verses had me very bewildered. It couldn't possibly mean what the words were saying. I had to turn to commentaries to get to the root of its implications, DailyPlan : one-year-tract : 2019-09-17 #Bible https://www.mydailybible.org/dp/esv/one-year-tract/2019-09-17.htm Ezekiel 20:24-26 because they had not … Continue reading Deception & Truth

How Accurate Is Our Bible?
There are times you may hear someone try to “rationalize” the things written in the Bible and say things like, “well it’s really just a metaphor, or an example to teach us how to live” kinda like the parables Jesus taught. So in other words, if you see what looks like an obvious error, like … Continue reading How Accurate Is Our Bible?
What Is Man? A Triune Being!
Some time ago I read this scripture and thought, there has to be a 3rd (Third) Part because it describes only 2 (Two) locations. 1 John 5: 7-8 For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit; and these three are one. 8 And there are three … Continue reading What Is Man? A Triune Being!
God’s Watchman Love His House
These are 2 of today's Bible verses I follow, Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.

The Law of Tithing or God’s Grace
The "Law of Tithing" or "God's Grace," Which Is Appropriate For Today? This post is in response to the recent comments by Benny Hinn that he has abandoned the "Prosperity Gospel" teaching. His 1st public statement on it is here, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4TQQirZI9Eo A couple years ago I went to spend the night, to sit with my … Continue reading The Law of Tithing or God’s Grace
Judge Not, but… You Will Know Them By Their Fruit
The Torah Portion for this week 48 is named "Judges" because of it's first verses, https://www.119ministries.com/resources/torah-portion/t48-shoftim/ “You shall appoint judges and officers in all your gates, which the Lord your God gives you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with just judgment.

Who Were the Nicolaitans & Why Did Jesus Hate Their Deeds?
Another question is, "Does it even matter for us today?" Satan does have a limited number of "tricks in his bag of schemes" at his disposal but is good at "transforming himself and them into angels and ministers of light" to appeal to every generation and culture. Solomon wrote in, Ecclesiastes 1:9 What has been … Continue reading Who Were the Nicolaitans & Why Did Jesus Hate Their Deeds?
My Sheep Hear My Voice
John 10:1-6 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. 2 But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep … Continue reading My Sheep Hear My Voice

“I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You.” Really???
Much of my summer vacations, holidays, and even a couple school years of my youth and teen years were spent with my maternal grandparents. Pawpaw Vince and Mawmaw Eva. I named my one and only shrimp boat after her, Eva Marie. Throughout my years with them, Pawpaw Vince had a saying when he'd get flabbergasted … Continue reading “I Will Never Leave You Nor Forsake You.” Really???
His Eye Is On The Sparrow, I Know He’s Watching Me
I mentioned in the post “God Confirms His Word” Another prayer I pray sometimes is, “Lord please be persistent with me because I know I’m dull of hearing and sometimes You need to draw me a picture so that I don’t miss what you are trying to show me.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPI7WbPyoM8 I’ve said before how usually … Continue reading His Eye Is On The Sparrow, I Know He’s Watching Me
Hope Is A Heavenly Rope, Grab It
https://youtu.be/MPI7WbPyoM8 Hope is a kinda strange Bible word if you think about it. The 1st time it shows up in the Old Testament Hebrew is in the Book of Ruth and not until Luke 6:34 does it show up in the New Testament Greek. Ruth 1:12 KJV Turn again, my daughters, go your way; for … Continue reading Hope Is A Heavenly Rope, Grab It
Pouring Out The Water
I've been thinking about writing on this subject lately. Yesterday morning I hand wrote a page of notes to gather my thoughts and scriptures on it. Today the Bible verse of the day on my Tecarta Bible app said, "Do IT." Deuteronomy 11:13-14 KJV And it shall come to pass, if ye shall hearken diligently … Continue reading Pouring Out The Water
God Confirms His Word
God Confirming His Word can be looked at from so many levels. I guess a major one is like the example I used in yesterday's post. The prophet Isaiah said this, Isaiah 44:28 Who says of Cyrus, ‘He is My shepherd, And he shall perform all My pleasure, Saying to Jerusalem, “You shall be built,” And to the … Continue reading God Confirms His Word
Jesus Took The Bait, They Got Caught
P.S. I finished this post kinda late last night and I didn't get to put a praise or worship song that I thought related to it. This morning when I got up, I looked at the time, 4 am.

Samuel! Samuel! When God Calls Twice

“Triple Hardened” What’s In A Name?
From Shakespeare’s Romeo & Juliet, Juliet says, “What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.” There is No Other Name Sweeter than the name of Yeshua, Jesus. His name means Salvation. He IS Salvation to All that come under His Lordship. Someday, those who call Him … Continue reading “Triple Hardened” What’s In A Name?
I Was Blind “But Now I See,” Literally!!!
Sometime around 2009 while driving on Hwy 90 I rubbed my left eye and then noticed that I couldn’t see very good through my right eye. It was like I was looking through a white fog.
