Biblical Reflections: Luke 6:27-28
Luke 6:27-28 – But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you, Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you. In the Old Testament, there was nearly endless war. There was war between nations and war between tribes and even war between families. […]
Biblical Reflections: Colossians 2:6-7
Colossians 2:6-7 – As ye have therefore received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk ye in him: Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Biblical Reflections: Ephesians 2:10
Ephesians 2:10 – For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. I am always bemused when I hear people say, “Be your own man.” At least in the sense that we can and should do what we want to do […]
Biblical Reflections: Isaiah 59:19
Isaiah 59:19 – So shall they fear the name of the Lord from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a standard against him. What a blessed thing to understand that our Awesome God […]
Biblical Reflections: 1 John 3:1
1 John 3:1 – Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God: therefore the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not. Have you taken time today to consider the magnitude of God’s love? If you haven’t, then you should. God’s love […]

Biblical Reflections: Psalm 51:10
Psalm 51:10 – Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. There is nothing in the world more relieving than the knowledge that you are saved.

Biblical Reflections: John 5:2-3
John 5:2-3 – Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water. From the earliest days mankind has struggled with the weakness […]
Biblical Reflections: Job 37:23
Job 37:23 – Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. The Spirit is quite a mystery. It appears that we know very little about the Almighty. Sure we know He is creative and powerful by the beauty […]
Biblical Reflections: Esther 4:14
Esther 4:14 – For if thou altogether holdest thy peace at this time, then shall there enlargement and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place; but thou and thy father’s house shall be destroyed: and who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this? God’s people have always […]
