God With Us
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. – Isaiah 7:14 From the very beginning, everything about the birth of Christ was miraculous. The Bible gives us accounts of a few miraculous births such as Isaac and Samuel who […]
Five Sparrows – Luke 12:6-7
Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows. – Luke 12:6-7 How valuable are you? If you were not able to show up to […]
That Thy Faith Fail Not – Luke 22:32
But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren. – Luke The Bible tells us that all men have sinned (Romans 3:23). We all fail God.

The Child Grew – Luke 2:40
And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him. – Luke 2:40 Christ the Lord is both God and Man. This combination has baffled sages for generations, and it still does so today. How can God be a man and a man be God? […]

Take Heed – Luke 11:35
Take heed therefore that the light which is in thee be not darkness. – Luke 11:35 We live in a culture that shades things in gray. Certainly all men sin, but this does not make sin good or evil acceptable. Neither does grace make sin more appropriate or profitable (Romans 6:1-4). Sin destroys. Jesus therefore […]
Faithful in the Least – Luke 16:10
He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. – Luke 16:10 Who didn’t dream of great things as a child? Maybe your dream was to travel the world or be famous. Perhaps you imagined yourself as […]
But Seek Ye First the Kingdom of God… – Matthew 6:33
Matthew 6:33 – But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. “But” can be a powerful word. It changes the direction of a whole idea, and no book uses this word more masterfully than the Bible. Just a few examples show the importance […]
