In view of all this, make every effort to respond to God’s promises. Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence, and moral excellence with knowledge. – 2 Peter 1:5(NLT) The dictionary defines knowledge as: “facts, information, and skills acquired by a person through experience or education; the theoretical or practical understanding ofContinue reading “Supplements of Faith – Knowledge”

For this very reason, make every effort to supplement your faith with virtue… – 2 Peter 1:5 (ESV) I like the way New Living Translation puts it, “…Supplement your faith with a generous provision of moral excellence…” While the Message replaces virtue with good character. “Moral excellence” or “virtue” simply means the act or quality ofContinue reading “Supplements of Faith – Virtue”

The more you grow like this, the more productive and useful you will be in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. – 2 Peter 1:8 (NLT) The Bible says that Faith is “the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” Hebrews 11:1 (NKJV). The book of Romans also tells us that FaithContinue reading “Supplements of Faith”

“I’ve told you this ahead of time, before it happens, so that when it does happen, the confirmation will deepen your belief in me. I’ll not be talking with you much more like this because the chief of this godless world is about to attack. But don’t worry—he has nothing on me, no claim onContinue reading “Blindsided (Part 2)”

But he said, “I am also a prophet, just like you. And an angel came to me with a message from God: ‘Bring him home with you, and give him a good meal!’” But the man was lying. So the holy man went home with him and they had a meal together. – 1 Kings 13:Continue reading “Blindsided (Part 1)”

“Why are you so angry?” the Lord asked Cain. “Why do you look so dejected? You will be accepted if you do what is right. But if you refuse to do what is right, then watch out! Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master.” – GenesisContinue reading “Doing Right!”

No human wisdom or understanding or plan can stand against the Lord. Proverbs 21:30 (NLT) It’s very easy these days to think that God is not in control of the world anymore. This is so because of all the atrocities that man is committing and seem to get away with them. However, on reading today’sContinue reading “Can You Outsmart God?”

My dear brothers and sisters, how can you claim to have faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ if you favor some people over others? James 2:1 (NLT) Reading this chapter in the book of James really challenged me. It made me ask myself: Am I really fair in my dealings with others either inContinue reading “Partiality/Are you Partial?”

Redeeming the earth is not in the hands of man. It is not through more clever and intelligent humanContinue reading “Rainbow in the Clouds (New Heavens and a New Earth) – Part 4”

God placed His rainbow in the clouds as a sign and seal of His covenant with man and all the earth. He promised never again to destroy the earth with floodwaters. This is the good news.
