1 Timothy 5 –

This chapter is really dedicated to the proper care of true widows and is best left for bible study I believe. However, I did find a few golden nuggets that I believe everyone can glean from. Every person has a responsibility for something within their own home. Little children can be taught to keep their rooms clean by putting things away and return items back where they belong.  And as…

1 Timothy 4 –

As sons and daughters of the Most High GOD and brothers and sisters of CHRIST JESUS. We are to be example setters; leaders not followers. Did you know that just by our character and integrity we could win more souls for JESUS than we do? We don’t have to bible beat or convict people of being sinners. We should draw people to us with our pure love; let them see how we love JESUS and that…

1 Timothy 3 -

This chapter is dedicated to those who are divinely called and to those who seek to be bishops and deacons. I could write about the characteristics of these two offices but I will not. Timothy has made it very transparent as to who and what to look for in the character and integrity of any person with these titles and who desire these titles. It’s not an overnight decision and it’s not a…

1 Timothy 2 -

Apostle Timothy who was an evangelist preached some things in this chapter which are timely and controversial today. I’ve decided not to write about certain things that Timothy said because it will bring about a debate and it’s not important. What’s important is for each and everyone of us to do just what the FATHER through CHRIST JESUS tells us to do and not consider what anyone has to…

1 Timothy 1 -

Some of us say that we don’t care what others think or say about us. I say hog wash! We may not care about everything people think or say about us; but there are something's that we do care how others view us. I suggest that of all the things that we may care about when it comes to how people view us; may the fact of knowing us to be true sons and daughters in the faith of CHRIST JESUS…

2 Timothy 3 -

I want you to know that the LORD GOD Most High is an awesome GOD. This week I was reading that in England where it is also Spring. They have been dealing with flooding and winter snow storms. In a month the LORD GOD willing the season of summer will be among us. It makes me wonder; where in the USA or other countries where we share the same season; will it be the total opposite of what…

2 Timothy 2

I don’t think that the Popeye cartoon comes on any longer; however, whenever he needed to be strong he would reach for his can of spinach and win the battle between him and Brutus. Our spinach is the Word of GOD; are we strong in it and because of it or are we week because of our lack of it? To be strong in the grace of CHRIST JESUS we must know who HE is, what HE has done and what HE is…

2Timothy 1

Throughout the LORD GOD’s holy Word we will find various things that we are appointed to do. Some of those assignments are meant for the body of CHRIST JESUS. Some are assigned to a specific people. In 2 Timothy 1 there is a small mixture assigned to a specific people and there is no confusion about it. There are some who have been sidetracked by the lime light and it will take the Word of…

Titus 3

What does it mean to you; to obey, be respectful and subject to all who are in authority? We older adults and or adults in the faith are constantly being watched by the young ones. It is important that we teach with our character and integrity how to obey, be respectful and be subject to authority. Our young people; be they believers or non-believers…

Titus 2

Let’s admit it. Our young people are not being trained up as we the older generation of 50, 60, and 70 and above. There is no generation gap; the only thing that has happened over the generation is that sin has become much bolder and in your face. Our young males are not being trained to become men and our young females are not being trained to become women. Even in the CHRISTian home our…

Titus 1

In the opening of Titus I researched yet again to remind myself of the commitment that I have on my life; and how nothing and no one will take me off my course. Sometimes we need to re-evaluate ourselves to make sure that we are not going off course. We need to reassure ourselves that what we are doing for DADDY through CHRIST JESUS really is being done…

Philemon

This book opens up with Paul proclaiming that he is a prisoner of CHRIST JESUS. Never before today have I ever given that much thought. Take a stroll down our past for a very brief moment. We are born into sin; we are slaves to sin and we are prisoners of sin. Oh, some of us may never see the inside of a jail or prison; however, we were once prisoners of sin. Now that we are born-again; washed in the blood of JESUS…

Hebrews 13

It’s time that the body of CHRIST stop being divided and stop giving lip service of love and actually love one another as CHRIST loves the church. Or, better yet the way CHRIST JESUS loves us individually. The love that JESUS has for us is not based on condition of performance. If it was; none of us would qualify for HIS love. HIS love for us…

Hebrews 12-part 2 of 2

What if the Most High GOD held our past against us or for that matter laid our ancestors sins on us. After JESUS went to the cross and after you heard, believed and accepted HIS precious SON. Do you think that CHRISTianity is worth it if there is no forgiveness? This is what most born-again CHRISTians are doing be it consciously or unconsciously. We serve the same adorable…
