Thought for the week - "Righteousness Defined" (5/31/2026)

“And the Lord commanded us to observe all these statutes, to fear the Lord our God, for our good always, that He might preserve us alive, as it is this day. 25 Then it will be righteousness for us, if we are careful to observe all these commandments before the Lord our God, as He has commanded us....

Thought for the week - "As Humble as a Child" (5/24/2026)

“Therefore whoever humbles himself as this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 18:04). Pride has never been the way to the heart of God, and here Jesus makes a rather startling statement to bring that point home to those who are listening to Him. Jesus is attempting t...

The Lord as our Ultimate Shield (4/26/2026)

“But You, O Lord, are a shield for me,My glory and the One who lifts up my head.I cried to the Lord with my voice,And He heard me from His holy hill” (Psalm 3:3-4). Having been forced out of Jerusalem, David is now “on the run” from his son Absalom who wants to take not only his throne but h...

Thought for the week - "A Solid Cornerstone" (4/19/2026)

“This is the ‘stone which was rejected by you builders, which has become the chief cornerstone.’ Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:11-12). Inspired by the Holy Spirit and filled with ‘fiery’ com...

Thought for the week - "If the Lord Wills..." (4/12/2026)

“Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we shall live and do this or that. But now you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. Therefore, to him who knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin” (James 4:15-17). James has just taught his readers about the importance...

Thought for the week - "True Freedom under Jesus" (4/5/2026)

“Therefore if the Son makes you free, you shall be free indeed. I know that you are Abraham’s descendants, but you seek to kill Me, because My word has no place in you” (John 8:36). Tension builds as Jesus has this discussion with the unbelieving Pharisees at this point in His ministry. As Jew...

Thought for the week - "The Command to Live Holy Lives" (3/29/2026)

A Study in 1 Peter 1 “…as obedient children, not conforming yourselves to the former lusts, as in your ignorance; but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct” (1 Peter 1:14). Having just given a general instruction that Christians are to get control of their minds an...

Thought for the week - "On Pursuing Spirituality" (3/15/2026)

“But the path of the just is like the shining sun,That shines ever brighter unto the perfect day” (Proverbs 4:18). In contrast to the teaching in the four previous verses, Solomon turns to positive instruction for those who want a relationship with God that will lead them to the eternal home wit...

Thought for the week - On Avoiding Evil (3/8/2026)

“For they do not sleep unless they have done evil;And their sleep is taken away unless they make someone fall.For they eat the bread of wickedness,And they drink the wine of violence” (Proverbs 4:16-17). Solomon here expands his definition of those who are wicked by describing the depths to whic...
