The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. Proverbs 1:7 (ESV)
Jesus spoke to them, saying, “All authority in Heaven and on earth was given to Me; having gone, then, disciple all the nations, immersing them into the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all, whatever I commanded you, and behold, I am with you…
Interesting read given today’s world. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+1%3B+Matthew+5&version=NIV;ESV;OJB Notice a couple of things which could be spoke to the Church today: – 13 Bring no more futile minchot; ketoret is an abomination unto Me; Rosh Chodesh (New Moon) and Shabbos, the calling of assemblies—I cannot endure aven (wickedness) and atzarah (solemn convocation). ESV: Bring no more vain offerings;…
Who is your god? Do you identify your god by using a capital G? Is your god the only one identified in that way? If you were standing in a room, talking about your god, would everyone know which god you were talking about? If someone who knew nothing about your religion asked you what…
It’s important we build our foundations on a straight and level cornerstone. As a Christian, we should build on Yehweh’s (God) Word and Yehushua’s (Jesus) example, not on man’s. Name, it seems like such a simple concept to understand. And yet, all these years as a Christian, it wasn’t something I understood at all. When…
7 “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Matthew 7 According to some sources, this verse is among the 25 most often quoted and…
In my experience, this one is quoted quite often but rarely walked out. I’m sure even non-Christians can quote this one. 24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and…
Ever hear someone talk about fasting? Congregations have fasting seasons where they fast together. Well, Jesus talked about fasting as well. 16 “And whenever you are fasting, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they put on a sad and dismal face [like actors, discoloring their faces with ashes or dirt] so that their fasting may be…
After Jesus gives us a model for prayer, He seems to expound a bit on one portion of it, forgiveness. He says: 14 For if you forgive [a]others their trespasses [their reckless and willful sins], your heavenly Father will also forgive you. Matthew 6 AMP We all know what forgive means, we may not like it, but we know.…
Now we come to the Lord’s prayer. I think one of the best books I’ve read about the Lord’s Prayer was written by Max Lucado, The Great House of God. If you want to get more in depth with the Lord’s prayer, I suggest reading it. Before we dive into the Lord’s prayer, we have…
Prayer, one of the cornerstones in a Christian Church, but how much do we learn from Jesus and how much is man made? By the time this entire study is done, we will surely know, but that could be awhile. In the meantime, let’s take a look at this next scripture. 5 “And when you pray,…
