(Psalm 24:3-10)…..Who may ascend into the hill of the Lord? Or who may stand in His holy place? ⁴ He who has clean hands and a pure heart, Who has not lifted up his soul to an idol, Nor sworn deceitfully. ⁵ He shall receive blessing from the Lord, And righteousness from the God of his salvation. ⁶ This is Jacob, the generation of those who seek Him, Who seek Your face. Selah

⁷ Lift up your heads, O you gates! And be lifted up, you everlasting doors! And the …

(Romans 5:6)…..Christ died for the ungodly. Jesus Christ did not come to earth to help those who have it altogether, who think they are well, but to help ungodly sinners. (Romans 5:8)…..But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Jesus paid the price required by God for the forgiveness of all sins through His death. (Ephesians 1:7)…..In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace. The spiritual battle that happens …

Why is it that we can trust God? Because He is Lord (my Lord) – (Adonay; Ad-o-noy). He has authority and power, and is matchless in His being. David wrote “The LORD said to my Lord…” (Psalm 110:1). Thomas said, “My Lord and my God!” (John 20:27-28). Paul wrote, “…Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:7-8), by virtue of His death and resurrection (Romans 14:8-9). Peter also proclaimed Jesus as Lord to the Jews on Pentecost (Acts 2:36). and to the Gentiles at Cornelius’ home …

(Psalm 30:1-12)…..1 I will extol You, O Lord, for You have lifted me up, and have not let my foes rejoice over me. 2 O Lord my God, I cried out to You, and You healed me. 3 O Lord, You brought my soul up from the grave; You have kept me alive, that I should not go down to the pit. 4 Sing praise to the Lord, you saints of His, and give thanks at the remembrance of His holy name. 5 For His anger is but for a …

(Psalm 88:1-18)…..O Lord, God of my salvation, I have cried out day and night before You. ² Let my prayer come before You; ^]Incline Your ear to my cry. ³ For my soul is full of troubles, And my life draws near to the grave. ⁴ I am counted with those who go down to the pit; I am like a man who has no strength, ⁵ Adrift among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom You remember no more, And who are cut off …

(James 1:19-20)…..So then, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath; ²⁰ for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God.

Take a look at what is happening all around us in our society. It has made so many frustrated and angry, which I can totally understand. This time we live in seems to be a major trial for many, especially for the Christian who is trying to navigate through all the wickedness that we see these days. Yet …

(Mark 5:21-34)…..²¹ Now when Jesus had crossed over again by boat to the other side, a great multitude gathered to Him; and He was by the sea. ²² And behold, one of the rulers of the synagogue came, Jairus by name. And when he saw Him, he fell at His feet ²³ and begged Him earnestly, saying, “My little daughter lies at the point of death. Come and lay Your hands on her, that she may be healed, and she will live.” ²⁴ So Jesus went with him, and …

Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Apostle John wrote the following words concerning the return of Christ, “Even so, come, Lord Jesus” (Revelation 22:20). John must have thought he was in the last days, because of the environment he and other believers were in at the time. Paul himself seems to have expected that he would be alive when Jesus returned to this world (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). He believed that he was in the last days too. Peter also tells us that he is “looking” …

(1 Corinthians 12:3)…..Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.

What is Paul’s reason for saying this to the Corinthian believers? It was to correct their ignorance of who it really is who speaks on behalf of God, the Holy Spirit. Anybody can say they speak for God, but how does one know if it is a valid message from Him? Does he/she claim that Jesus …
