Mark 10:46-52 And they came to Jericho: and as he went out of Jericho with his disciples and a great number of people, blind Bartimaeus, the son of Timaeus, sat by the highway side begging. And when he heard it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to cry out, and say, Jesus, thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And many charged him that he should hold his peace: but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son of David, have mercy on me. And Jesus stood still, and commanded him to be

John 12:43 For they loved the praise of men more than the praise of God. It saddens me to think about this verse, this whole scenario that positioned John to write this sentence was shortly before Jesus was crucified. Many people believed in Jesus, but because of what others thought or their impact on their positions with the church, they would not openly admit it. It's still this way today. I have been a coward at proclaiming the gospel to others when I had the opportunity t

II Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds:) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ. Have you ever been so upset with the devil that you wanted to challenge him to a fistfight? Yeah, that’s probably no

Mathew 18:1-5 At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. I can honestly say this was one of those an

I Timothy 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. When you first read this scripture, it can be a little perplexing. It’s the deep knowledge of God and who God is. The books to Timothy, written by the Apostle Paul, are pastoral epistles addressing conduct, behavior, and qualifications for positions in the

Exodus 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. Grief formed this verse. The children of Israel had sinned against God, and God had Moses move the tabernacle to the outside of the camp because He could no longer dwell on the inside. As Moses went to meet God, all the men stood at the door of their tents in hono

Revelations 13:16 And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: "The Mark of The Beast." may be coming sooner than people think. And it is already being implemented in our culture by way of vaccinations and mind control. The church has been talking about it for centuries. Debated over so much and so many different opinions that confusion is the greatest defense the enemy has. And who is th

Hebrews 12:1-2 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. I often think of this verse when I'm praying. I have a f

Isaiah 66:24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against Me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorring unto all flesh. Not everything in the bible is peaches and cream. When this world's time comes to an end, this is what we will all see. What Isaiah is describing is called Hell. The second death, Hell's fire, tormented by flames of fire and a flesh-eating worm, an eter

I John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. Do you want to know God? This verse is pretty straightforward, but not everyone practices it. I have a friend named Jerry; he’s gone on to be with the Lord several years ago. Jerry was such a good old guy it would take the whole page to say enough good about him. But Jerry wasn’t always such a good ole’ boy, and you could tell that he used to be one tough character, a fighter. Then his wife became a Christian, an
