Colossians 1 – [part 1]

Many people have heard of the religiosity of the church. Many people have heard what so and so have done in the church. But how many people have heard of our faith in CHRIST JESUS? Religiosity and tradition does not bring about love in the church. The works that another does will not bring about love in the church. Our faith is in the GOD of love; CHRIST JESUS…

1 Thessalonians 5

So many people are concerned about when the end of the world will present itself. True blood washed CHRISTians should be free from this concern because we have been informed that when the LORD comes; HE will come as a thief in the night. For the past thirty or so years mankind has done all he knows to do to keep the thief from taking…

1 Thessalonians 4

Brothers and sisters in the precious holy name of our LORD and Savior, CHRIST JESUS. We all are to live more and more than the day before to please the LORD GOD in all we say and do. We are to make a conscience effort to always realize that our DADDY is standing or sitting with us. And as long as we realize that HE is in our company;…

1 Thessalonians 3

Brothers and sisters in CHRIST JESUS are sent to establish and encourage each other concerning our faith. None of us are to be disturbed by the afflictions that we endure for the sake of the gospel. We all suffer tribulation and if we don’t; maybe we want to evaluate what is it that we…

1 Thessalonians 2

Brothers and sisters in the LORD CHRIST JESUS; don’t allow anyone including yourself; to believe or to think that your coming and going in the LORD JESUS is in vain. Yes, there is a governmental call from the LORD GOD Most High; however we are all called to minister the Word of the Most High GOD to all who are willing to hear the Good News.…

2 Thessalonians 3

It is true! Truer than what your name is that the LORD JESUS the CHRIST is coming back; again!! HE will gather all those who believe in HIM to HIMSELF. Most if not all of us have heard over the decades or years that JESUS will be back on such a such a day. And, most if not all of us have seen the repercussion of what happens to those…

2 Thessalonians 3

There is a song that has these lyrics in it. “I pray for you, you pray for me; I love you, I need you to survive. I won't harm you with words from my mouth; I love you, I need you to survive.” Many of us have sung the song; yet, many of us have not lived the lyrics. In this chapter of Thessalonians; Apostle Paul admonishes us to pray…

2 Thessalonians 1

I need you to know that when I'm unable to write to you on a daily basis; I miss you as if I know each and every one of you personally. There are various reasons that will cause me to be unable to encourage you; the reader daily. However, be aware that though I may not be able to send you an encouraging word to read; I do think of you and hope that I’ve written enough…

1 Timothy 6

To my beloved sisters and brothers of the faith; know that it’s not alright that there are some who blaspheme the name of the living GOD and HIS Word. It can be done verbally or in deed; whichever it’s a very poor testimony of their faith in CHRIST JESUS. Teach and advise one another of these things that we may strengthen each other in our growth in godliness.…

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…
