Mark 6:31 31  And he said unto them, Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, and rest a while: You probably can guess why I am using this verse today.  Mrs. Lisa and I have taken a few days away to get some rest. The context for our verse is after the tragic event…

Job 2:8-10 8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes. Job, just the mention of his name brings different pictures to everyone’s mind.  To some, he is an urban legend, just a figment of the imagination, used to teach a moral.  To some, he is…

Job 2:8-10 8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.   9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die. 10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall…

Job 2:3 3 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. Today we will look at…

Philippians 3:1 – I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.   The Lord has shown me two things that our verses from the last couple of days have in common. Both of them contain the admonition to look and to serve.   In today’s verse,…

Ephesians 6:2 – Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise;) For our time today, we will honor Mothers.  The word for honour in our Bible means to prize, to revere.  The root word means to esteem, beloved, valuable. That certainly describes the way we should feel toward our Moms. The…

Proverbs 22:1 – A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold. This verse holds special meaning to me.  It is the verse the Lord gave me for my Dad’s Funeral.  Today is his birthday.  I miss him so very much.  Forgive me please but…

Psalm 61:2 From the end of the earth will I cry unto thee, when my heart is overwhelmed: lead me to the rock that is higher than I. I am so glad one of the ways our Lord is described in Scripture is a Rock. Several times the Lord uses the metaphor “Rock”. In our…

Psalms 106:21 They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt; We just finished a tremendous meeting with Dr. Mike Bagwell. He did a marvelous job preaching in Leviticus.

Jude 1:25 To the only wise God our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever. Amen. My mind this morning is pondering all we have heard this week from Bro.

Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For our last day this week, let’s look at what the Apostle Paul wrote about sufferings.  Now remember other than the Lord Jesus and maybe Job no one…

Luke 24:25-26 25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken: 26 Ought not Christ to have suffered these things, and to enter into his glory? Since we have spent some time looking at the sufferings of our Lord in Philippians 3:10 I thought…

Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; We will end our look at Philippians 3:10 today.

Philippians 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; The fellowship of His sufferings.
