And he said to them, “Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. 4 And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. 5 And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your […]

You shall not spread a false report. You shall not join hands with a wicked man to be a malicious witness. 2 You shall not fall in with the many to do evil, nor shall you bear witness in a lawsuit, siding with the many, so as to pervert justice, 3 nor shall you be […]

…shepherd the flock of God that is among you, exercising oversight, not under compulsion, but willingly, as God would have you; not for shameful gain, but eagerly; 3 not domineering over those in your charge, but being examples to the flock. 4 And when the chief Shepherd appears, you will receive the unfading crown of […]

For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,        and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not be quiet,                    until her righteousness goes forth as brightness,        and her salvation as a burning torch.              2       The nations shall see your righteousness,        and all the kings your glory,                    and you shall be called by a new […]

Therefore let those who suffer according to God’s will entrust their souls to a faithful Creator while doing good. There is a favorite “comical” line pastors use that goes like this, “If you see the word therefore, you should see what it is there for.” It’s an oldie but a theological truth. When the Apostle […]

With respect to this they are surprised when you do not join them in the same flood of debauchery, and they malign you; 5 but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead. “Bridge Out”. Imagine that you can see this sign clearly and pull over to […]
