“The way of the righteous is smooth;
O Upright One, make the path of the righteous level.
Indeed, while following the way of Your judgments, O Lord,
We have waited for You eagerly;
Your name, even Your memory, is the desire of our souls.
At night my soul longs for You,
Indeed, my spirit within...
Troubles, trouble everywhere,
Leaving many in despair.
Turning, churning, there’s no doubt
It’s the work of those with clout.
Princes, kings, and CEOs,
They’re the people in the know
Twisting all what’s going on,
Hope the people to respond.
Stirring, stirring all things up,
Hoping things will...
“And it was allowed to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might even speak and might cause those who would not worship the image of the beast to be slain. Also it causes all, both small and great, both rich and poor, both free and slave, to be marked on the...
“Let no one in any way deceive you, for it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying...
“A worthless person, a wicked man,
Is the one who walks with a perverse mouth,
Who winks with his eyes, who signals with his feet,
Who points with his fingers;
Who with perversity in his heart continually devises evil,
Who spreads strife.
Therefore his calamity will come suddenly;
Instantly he...
“Under these circumstances, after so many thousands of people had gathered together that they were stepping on one another, He began saying to His disciples first of all, ‘Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. But there is nothing covered up that will not be revealed, and...
“But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” (John 1:12-13 NASB1995)
There are many people in today’s world who use this...
“Then they will deliver you to tribulation, and will kill you, and you will be hated by all nations because of My name. At that time many will fall away and will betray one another and hate one another. Many false prophets will arise and will mislead many. Because lawlessness is increased, most...
Our God works in mysterious ways. I normally write a devotional each day based off Bible Gateway’s “Verse Of The Day.” Today’s verse is Isaiah 12:4. But I generally expand the passage of Scripture to include the general context, so more verses were added. And verse 1 talked about giving thanks...
Thus says the Lord of hosts,
“Do not listen to the words of the prophets who are prophesying to you.
They are leading you into futility;
They speak a vision of their own imagination,
Not from the mouth of the Lord.
“They keep saying to those who despise Me,
‘The Lord has said, “You will have...
“’Woe to the shepherds who are destroying and scattering the sheep of My pasture!’ declares the Lord. Therefore thus says the Lord God of Israel concerning the shepherds who are tending My people: ‘You have scattered My flock and driven them away, and have not attended to them; behold, I am...
“O Lord, I call upon You; hasten to me!
Give ear to my voice when I call to You!
May my prayer be counted as incense before You;
The lifting up of my hands as the evening offering.
Set a guard, O Lord, over my mouth;
Keep watch over the door of my lips.
Do not incline my heart to any evil thing...
Such crazy times we live in now.
Crazed now, to whom the people bow;
To whom they give their all support
Without much thought, not much resort.
The ins and outs of all there is,
So much of which is just “show biz,”
Illudes the people, does the trick,
So they not see who’s “in the thick.”...
“And He was giving orders to them, saying, ‘Watch out! Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.’ They began to discuss with one another the fact that they had no bread. And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, ‘Why do you discuss the fact that you have no bread? Do you not...
As some of you may or may not be aware, when the Lord called me to this ministry in 2004, and he had me begin writing down what he was teaching me from my times with him in his word each day, he also began opening my eyes to so many things about what was going on in my nation and in the world...
Who’s the man behind the curtain?
And is he good, or is he bad?
Does he care about the people?
Or do the people make him mad?
Is he a man of just self-interest,
Who thinks now only of himself,
Who puts the needs of all the people
Neatly stacked upon a shelf?
Is he dishonest and malicious...
We live in a world full of sin and decay,
With voices of liars now much on display.
They ring through the halls of the internet sites,
In hopes that the people will now take a bite.
They’re taught in the “churches” now given to man
To follow his will and to obey his plan.
With marketing...
“But immorality or any impurity or greed must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints; and there must be no filthiness and silly talk, or coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know with certainty, that no immoral or impure person or...
