In 1 Samuel 9:27-10:9, the Prophet Samuel told Saul he would be king, but to wait seven days until He came to tell him what God’s plans were for him, and at that time he would offer the burnt offering to God, but in 1 Samuel 13:1-15, Saul’s obedient patience turned to fearful doubt; thus, […]
Psalm 16:1-5 comes to mind when we think of “other gods”; thus, immediately the different aspects of serving “idols” comes to mind, for if we remember back when the “Nike” brand of shoes were so popular, expensive, and every kid wanted “Nike” shoes, and we heard (whether true or not) that “Nike” was a Greek […]
Psalm 8:1-2 says, 1 O Lord, our Lord, Your greatness is seen in all the world! Your praise reaches up to the heavens; 2 it is sung by children and babies. You are safe and secure from all your enemies; You stop anyone who opposes You. Jesus, in Matthew 21:12-16, quotes Psalm 8:1-2 this way, […]
This is three in the series of “keep yourselves from idols”, as 1 John 5:18-21 commands; thus, we will read it from the New King James Version, 18 We know whoever is born of God does not sin; but he who has been born of God keeps himself, and the wicked one does not touch […]

From 2 Corinthians 6:11-16, we learn as Christians, with Christ in us and us in Him, we are to live holy lives, totally absent of idols of any kind, for it is impossible for pure holiness and idols of any kind to dwell in our emotions, heart, mind, and will, because what controls us is […]
The New King James Version explains Isaiah 53:10-11 this way, 10 Yet it pleased the Lord (God) to bruise Him (Jesus); He has put Him to grief. When You make His soul an offering for sin, He shall see His seed (Christians, members of Christ’s body, the worldwide church), He shall prolong His days, and […]
In our short lifetime we have heard innumerable teachings from Hebrews 11:1-3 that explain how God-given faith, as opposed to wishful-thinking, must always have a solid, feelable substance and unquestionable evidence, as proof it is from God, through Jesus, by the Holy Spirit, for this is how people in every generation understood God’s spiritually understood […]
In Mark 5:1-20, when Jesus got into a boat in the Jewish community, crossed the sea to the Gentile community; coming out of the cemetery was a “certain man” who was demon-possessed that bowed down and worshiped Jesus; then the demons began conversing with Jesus through the man, begging Jesus not to send them into […]
Life’s distractions are among Satan, the devil’s best tactics, for he tries to use distractions to alter God’s timing, but Jesus never allowed satanic distractions to alter God’s timing. In Mark 5:1-20, Jesus got into a boat on the same side of the sea Jairus’ twelve-year old daughter was sick and dying, and where the […]
This post reveals the importance of women, who as mothers, teach their children how to live on earth the way God designed them to live; therefore, know it was a woman, a mother, who taught God how to live on earth, for 1 Timothy 3:16 is a word-picture of Jesus, God in the flesh, whom […]
Matthew 9:18-26; Mark 5:21-43, or Luke 8:40-56 mention anything about the woman with the twelve-year issue of blood, other than that, and how she came to Jesus for her healing, but she could have been a daughter, also a wife and mother, whose continuous issue of blood separated her from her daddy, husband, and child.
