Comforter for the Comfortable?

“And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever.” John 14:16 You know, you would think that out of everybody in the world, the people that should be the least confused with Jesus’ teachings it would be his own disciples. That was not

Psalms 23 Part 4

“Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.” Psalms 23:5-6 We conclude our look at the

Psalms 23: Part 3

“He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.” Psalms 23: 3-4 As he continues with this passage,

Psalms 23: Part 2

“He maketh me lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.” Psalms 23:2 We continue with our look at the 23rd Psalms. We pick up with verse 2 of the chapter. If you remember from the previous post, I mentioned that to fully understand the 23rd Psalm, you must understand the

Psalms 23: Part 1

Today’s post begins a series discussing the 23rd Psalm. This is probably one of the most quoted scriptures from the Old Testament. It is often used as the focus passage for peoples’ funerals. It is a scripture that should be a comfort for those of us that are children of God and a wake-up call

Teach the Children

In our last post we talked about Eli and how he was a great mentor for Samuel, but failed in the raising of his two sons. I want to continue along the lines of teaching our kids. In today’s world, our kids are slammed almost constantly with evil. Everywhere they turn, you have television, music,

Make Sure Your House Is Clean First

When I say the name Eli, what comes to mind first? For me, it would probably be Eli Manning, football, Archie, Ole Miss, or something like that. Just being honest. It probably is not a biblical figure that firsts pops in our minds. If you look in the book of 1 Samuel, you will find

Waters Never Part Until Our Feet Get Wet

When I was a teenager back in the day, I listened to a variety of music. One of my favorites to listen to was a Christian/Rock group called Petra. I would describe them as a Christian version of a big hair rock band. One of my favorite songs they sang was titled ‘Beyond Belief’. The

Right Tool For The Job

If you live in the country and have ever had to work on a vehicle, tractor, or any other equipment, you have probably attempted to use a tool for a job it was not designed to do. You grab the first thing you see and try to use it as quick as possible. Before you

Did God Set Us Up for Failure?

We, as people, often look to point the finger of blame away from ourselves when we fail. We don’t like to shoulder that blame. It has been that way since the beginning of time. When you look back in Genesis 3, you find the recording of the fall of man. God had placed Adam and
