Truths we hold (1 John 1-2)
We live in a world that holds on to a lot of partial truths. But as Christians we can’t do that. We need to hold to the whole truth. And so as we read 1 John, it’s important to hold … Continue reading
Children of light (I Thessalonians 5)
One small note. Yesterday, I said I was talking about chapters 2-3; actually, it was 3-4. (And thus we can see that there are benefits to having chapter and verse divisions after all. It keeps us on the same page. … Continue reading

II Timothy 3:10-17- Though this world goes from bad to worse
If anyone thinks that this world will get any better, they’re not reading the same Bible I am. Until the day Christ comes back, things will get progressively worse. And that shows most starkly in the ungodliness of the people … Continue reading

Ephesians 5:3-14 — Taking sin lightly
If there is one problem in this world, it’s that it takes sin lightly, even to the point of joking about it. But sin is not something to be taken lightly. Especially by Christians. So Paul says, But among you … Continue reading
Acts 27:21-44 — A beacon in the storm
Jesus once said to let our light shine before men, and you really see Paul’s light shining through in this passage. At a time when everyone on the ship he was sailing on had lost hope because of the storm, … Continue reading
John 12:44-50 — When we see and hear Jesus
So many people say, “I believe in God,” but refuse to put their faith in Jesus. But if you truly believe in God, that is exactly what you cannot do. Jesus says here, Whoever believes in me does not believe … Continue reading
Matthew 12:38-45; Luke 11:24-36 — When we refuse to invite the Spirit in
With Jesus condemning the Pharisees for saying that he was casting out demons by Satan’s power, the Pharisees then demanded a sign from heaven to prove he was doing it by God’s power. Of course, even had he done so, … Continue reading

Matthew 5:13-16 — Salt and light
It is very interesting to me the context in which Jesus talks about us being salt and light in the world. What was the context? He had just finished talking about persecution. That we are blessed if we are persecuted … Continue reading
John 3:19-21 — Stepping out into the light
I mentioned in my last blog that we are not in danger of being condemned if we reject Christ. We are already condemned. Judgment has already been passed. And in this passage, we see the verdict that was passed against … Continue reading
John 1:1-18 — Light in a darkened world
I once read about a young teenage girl in the United States. She had perfect grades in high school. She had a perfect score for the SAT. She had a perfect score for the University of California acceptance exam. She … Continue reading
