This is an awesome article that we found that we that will help you decide which bible translation will work the best for you.

If you’re new to Bible reading — or even if you’re not — you might feel completely bewildered by the array of Bible versions, translations, and editions available today.  Whether you’re browsing the Bible section at your local bookstore or comparing Bible Gateway’s own library (which features dozens of English translations, let alone the huge variety of other languages), you might feel overwhelmed by the alphabet soup of abbreviations in front of you. You’re not alone — Bible decision fatigue is real. In fact, it’s not uncommon for shoppers to leave stores empty handed rather than risk buying the “wrong” Bible version. Here’s the good news: with very few exceptions, there is no “wrong” version of the Good News.

But depending on what you’re looking for, there are better or worse places for you to start. This guide will help you sort through the major Bible versions available today and make a choice that suits your personal circumstances. You’ll also learn a bit about the different translation types, or philosophies, and a crash course in their histories. When you’re done, you’ll have no trouble telling your NIV from your ESV, your NRSVUE from your NABRE, and your KJV from your NKJV. Why Are There So Many Bible Versions?

Why are there so many Bible versions, anyway?

How different can they really be? If you’ve ever compared a few translations side by side, you know the answer: they can differ greatly. Sometimes it’s hard to believe both passages come from the same source text!  The books of the Bible were written over hundreds of years in various locations around the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East. Most of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew (with a few passages in Aramaic) centuries before the birth of Jesus, while the latest books in the New Testament were written in Greek decades after his death and resurrection. 

Needless to say, a lot has changed in the world since then. Rendering words written thousands of years ago and thousands of miles away — in very different languages and contexts than our own — intelligible to a modern English reader is an enormous challenge. There are a lot of good reasons for the variety of different ways an original passage from the Bible can be translated. Here are just a few of them:

No One-to-One Correlation

Words in one language seldom have exact matches in other languages. There are often shades of meaning lost in translation — all the more so when separated by thousands of years.  Common examples include the Hebrew word ruach — which can be translated either “breath” or “wind” — and of course the Greek logos, which can variously mean “word,” “reason,” “thought,” or “speech.”

No Punctuation

Unlike modern English, most ancient languages have little to no punctuation to clarify where one phrase or sentence ends and another begins. To make matters worse, early Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts used all capital letters, and often didn’t include spaces between words. Hebrew didn’t even include vowels!

IMAGINETRYINGTOTRANSLATETHISSENTENCEWITHNOVOWELSIFITWASNTYOURNATIVELANGUAGE. Now imagine trying to do that for hundreds of pages (not to mention backwards: Hebrew is written right-to-left)!

Idioms

One of the greatest challenges trying to translate texts across languages and cultures is figuring out what to do with idioms, or common cultural phrases that mean something very different from what they appear to in the literal sense.  Do you convert them to the target language as closely as possible, so readers know exactly what images the original writers used, even if they don’t understand what was originally meant by them? Or do you try to get the point across by adjusting the words to something more meaningful to us today?

Imagine someone in Thailand — or for that matter, on Mars — two or three thousand years from now trying to make sense of phrases like “break a leg” or “throw the baby out with the bathwater” and you can start to get a sense of the problem.  These sorts of phrases abound in both Hebrew and Greek. Many of them have now entered our own lexicon — so much so that we don’t even realize they’re from the Bible — but others, like the many uses of covering or uncovering one’s feet — remain contested.

Times, Genres, and Styles

The books of the Bible were written by many hands over hundreds of years. Some books were carefully crafted by scholars, while others are the live-spoken testimony of holy men and women. Some of them are histories, some are poetry, some are letters, or collections of sayings, or prophecies. Often a single book will include several of these genres within it. 

The fact that God chose so many hands to write his Word is part of what makes reading the Bible such a vibrant, dynamic, and engaging experience. When translating such a wonderful variety of voices, it’s possible to purposely or accidentally smooth them all out into a single, more consistent one. 

There are reasons to do so — such as helping to highlight the thematic and narrative throughlines of the entirety of Scripture. But you also run the risk of losing the freshness and particular feeling of the individuals God selected and inspired to deliver his message.

What is the definition of theology?

Posted on by Leave a comment

The word “theology” comes from two Greek words that combined mean “the study of God.” Christian theology is simply an attempt to understand God as He is revealed in the Bible. No theology will ever fully explain God and His ways because God is infinitely and eternally higher than we are. Therefore, any attempt to describe Him will fall short (Romans 11:33-36). However, God does want us to know Him insofar as we are able, and theology is the art and science of knowing what we can know and understand about God in an organized and understandable manner. Some people try to avoid theology because they believe it is divisive.

Properly understood, though, theology is uniting. Proper, biblical theology is a good thing; it is the teaching of God’s Word (2 Timothy 3:16-17). The study of theology, then, is nothing more than digging into God’s Word to discover what He has revealed about Himself. When we do this, we come to know Him as Creator of all things, Sustainer of all things, and Judge of all things. He is the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and end of all things. When Moses asked who was sending him to Pharaoh, God replied “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14). The name I AM indicates personality. God has a name, even as He has given names to others.

The name I AM stands for a free, purposeful, self-sufficient personality. God is not an ethereal force or a cosmic energy. He is the almighty, self-existing, self-determining Being with a mind and a will—the “personal” God who has revealed Himself to humanity through His Word, and through His Son, Jesus Christ. To study theology is to get to know God in order that we may glorify Him through our love and obedience. Notice the progression here: we must get to know Him before we can love Him, and we must love Him before we can desire to obey Him.

As a byproduct, our lives are immeasurably enriched by the comfort and hope He imparts to those who know, love, and obey Him. Poor theology and a superficial, inaccurate understanding of God will only make our lives worse instead of bringing the comfort and hope we long for. Knowing about God is crucially important. We are cruel to ourselves if we try to live in this world without knowing about God. The world is a painful place, and life in it is disappointing and unpleasant. Reject theology and you doom yourself to life with no sense of direction. Without theology, we waste our lives and lose our souls.

Not Meant For the Government

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government.” Patrick Henry

Patrick Henry | Revolutionary War Patriot & American Statesman

Patrick Henry (born May 29 [May 18, Old Style], 1736, Studley [Virginia]—died June 6, 1799, Red Hill, near Brookneal, Virginia, U.S.) was a brilliant orator and a major figure of the American Revolution, perhaps best known for his words “Give me liberty or give me death!” which he delivered in 1775. He was independent Virginia’s first governor (serving 1776–79, 1784–86). Patrick Henry was the son of John Henry, a well-educated Scotsman who served in the colony as a surveyor, colonel, and justice of the Hanover County Court.

Before he was 10, Patrick received some rudimentary education in a local school, later reinforced by tutoring from his father, who was trained in the classics. As a youth, he failed twice in seven years as a storekeeper and once as a farmer; and during this period he increased his responsibilities by marriage, in 1754, to Sarah Shelton. The demands of a growing family spurred him to study for the practice of law, and in this profession he soon displayed remarkable ability. Within a few years after his admission to the bar in 1760 he had a large and profitable clientele. He was especially successful in criminal cases, where he made good use of his quick wit, his knowledge of human nature, and his forensic gifts.

When Mission Becomes Negligence: The Church’s Blind Spot

Posted on by Leave a comment
group of people having a meeting

Good intentions do not excuse harmful outcomes. When churches prioritize growth, image, or outreach over safety, they step into dangerous territory. This is the blind spot Scripture repeatedly warns us against. The church is called to take the gospel into all the world, but mission becomes dangerous when it blinds us to the responsibility of protecting the vulnerable. A church that sacrifices safety for success has already stepped outside the will of Christ.

Scripture: Matthew 18:6, Proverbs 22:3, Acts 20:28, Jeremiah 6:14, James 1:27, Psalm 82:3–4

There is a growing blind spot that has become common in many churches. This is something that is rarely admitted publicly out loud but is painfully real. In our zeal to grow, serve, reach, and expand, some churches have unintentionally allowed harmful environments to develop because mission has become more important than vigilance, reputation has become more important than righteousness, and numbers have become more important than nurturing. This is not simply an oversight, it is a spiritual crisis.

Jesus made His priorities unmistakably clear. In Matthew 18:6, He warns, “If anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him to have a millstone tied around his neck and be drowned in the depths of the sea.” You cannot read that verse and tell yourself that child safety is optional or not important. You cannot hear Jesus’ tone and think that He is soft on negligence. Christ is forceful, direct, and unwavering: the vulnerable matter to Him, and harming them is severely judged and a detrimental mistake.

Sadly many churches operate as though those words are symbolic instead of literal. When warning signs go unreported or confronted because “we don’t want to cause trouble,” the mission becomes negligence. When leaders silence concerned parents because “we need to trust our volunteers,” the mission becomes inadvertence. When reputations are protected while children are placed at risk, mission becomes negligent, sloppy and thoughtless. This is the blind spot the Bible has warned us about. We need to listen to those who are concerned, they see something that we might not. 

The writer of Proverbs 22:3 declares, “The prudent see danger and take refuge, but the simple keep going and pay the penalty.” Wisdom does not wait to act; wisdom does not minimize danger; wisdom does not hide in the comfort of denial. A prudent church examines its ministry environment, policies, and leadership practices with humility and seriousness. A simple church keeps doing what it has always done and hopes nothing goes wrong.One of the most tragic patterns in church history is the willingness to tolerate harmful behavior in the name of unity, grace, or mission.

We have seen this come to light so much recently, and we need to. Churches that have tried to hide what has happened instead of confronting it. Others that have attacked victims instead of being their protectors. Some that have plugged their ears and hummed so they thought they could have some sort of plausible deniability.  This is the same error God condemned in the leaders of Israel. In Jeremiah 6:14, He rebuked the leaders for saying, “Peace, peace,” when there was no peace. They were pretending all was well while they allowed the vulnerable to suffer. God called this false peace. Today, when churches refuse to confront danger because it is uncomfortable, difficult, or reputation-damaging, these churches are also practicing and participating in what is false peace.

“During the early days of the Salvation Army, William Booth and his associates were bitterly attacked in the press by religious leaders and government leaders alike. Whenever his son, Bramwell, showed Booth a newspaper attack, the General would reply, “Bramwell, fifty years hence it will matter very little indeed how these people treated us; it will matter a great deal how we dealt with the work of God.” 

W. Wiersbe, The Wycliffe Handbook of Preaching & Preachers, p. 185.

There is nothing godly about pretending that harm does not exist. There is nothing Christian about ignoring risk. And there is nothing righteous about allowing potential predators to remain unchecked in a congregation because “we don’t want to hurt feelings.”

The apostle Paul offers the opposite vision of leadership in Acts 20:28: “Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers.” A good shepherd does not simply feed the sheep, they guard the sheep. They set boundaries. They watch for wolves. They do not leave the gate open in the name of hospitality.

A church that does not guard its children is not practicing biblical leadership.

James doubles down and goes even further. In James 1:27, he writes, “Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.” Basically, if your faith does not protect the vulnerable, your faith is defective. If your church does not shield the innocent, the church is not practicing pure and faultless religion.

If you believe that God’s word is true, then mission, real mission, biblical mission, must involve meaningful protection.

The psalms echoes this reality with prophetic clarity in Psalm 82:3–4: “Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” Our mission, the church’s mission, should include defense. The mission includes intervention. The mission includes rescue.

The church can create an unintentional blind spot when outreach starts to eclipse oversight, when building well intention programs overshadow building safety, when enthusiasm outruns discernment, and when forgiveness is misapplied to dangerous situations. There are things God calls us to forgive, but there are also things God calls us to confront and remove. Grace is not permission to enable harm.

Truth is if a church that does not feel safe for children it is not faithful to Christ. A church that does not build boundaries around the vulnerable is a church that does not walk in holiness. A church that ignores warning signs is not practicing wisdom.

Not everything is lost, there is hope. If there are blind spots they can be corrected. Cultures can be renewed. If it is a lack of policies they are repairable. Leadership can be strengthened. And churches can reclaim their calling to be sanctuaries not just in name, but in practice.

The church must adopt the posture of Christ, fiercely protective, deeply loving, unafraid of confrontation, and absolutely committed to righteousness. This means training volunteers, enforcing boundaries and reporting credible concerns immediately. It means creating clear policies that support and empower parents to speak and choosing integrity over image.

The mission flourishes in environments of righteousness, not recklessness.

When mission becomes negligence, the gospel message itself is compromised. Growth, outreach, and influence mean little if they come at the expense of safety and integrity. Scripture consistently places faithfulness above expansion and obedience above appearance. The church must be a place where the vulnerable are defended, not exposed. Safety strengthens witness. Protection strengthens credibility. Responsibility strengthens impact. A church that guards its children guards its future, honors its Savior, and reflects the very heart of God.

Application

Let mission, ministry, and growth never outrun vigilance, choose protection, wisdom, and righteous responsibility in every part of church life.

Thought to Ponder

Where have I allowed comfort, silence, or fear to overshadow responsibility, and how is God calling me to act with greater courage and clarity?

Prayer

Dear Heavenly Father, open my eyes to every blind spot and forgive me where mission has overshadowed wisdom. Give me the courage to protect, the discernment to see danger clearly, and the strength to act without hesitation. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

You Can’t Demand Respect While Giving None: The Silent Crisis Between Generations

Posted on by Leave a comment

“You Can’t Demand Respect While Showing None: The Leadership Failure Fueling Today’s Cultural Divide”

Everywhere you look, people are demanding respect, but fewer people seem willing to give it. Many older voices insist younger generations must honor them simply because of age or position, yet too often those same voices model criticism, ignorance, arrogance, or dismissal toward others. This contradiction has quietly shaped the culture we now live in. When respect is demanded but not demonstrated, trust collapses, resentment grows, and entire generations begin rejecting the very idea of honor. If we want to understand why society feels increasingly divided and hostile, we must first examine the example set by those who have expected respect the most.

Respect has been something that has been spoken of as something that should automatically be given to our older generations. While Scripture does encourage honoring elders (You shall stand up before the gray head and honor the face of an old man, and you shall fear your God: I am the Lord. Leviticus 19:32). If we read the bible we can see that biblical honor is closely connected with character, humility, and wisdom. A serious problem arises when individuals demand respect based solely on age or authority while consistently showing disrespect, harshness, or disregard for others. When we allow it, respect becomes something demanded rather than modeled, it loses its moral authority.

As we grow up we learn far more from what we observe than from what they are told. If older leaders, whether parents, elders, teachers, community figures, or church leaders, speak about honor while acting with impatience, arrogance, ignorance, or hypocrisy, the message becomes confusing. This contradiction breeds cynicism. Young people begin to associate “respect” with control rather than mutual dignity. Over time, they may reject the entire concept because they see it as unfair or one-sided. Why wouldn’t they?

This continual pattern has contributed to the broader cultural breakdown of civility. When respect is not demonstrated by those asking for it, society begins to treat respect as optional or transactional. Public discourse becomes harsher, authority is distrusted, and generational relationships fracture. What should have been a chain of wisdom passed down becomes a cycle of resentment.

Biblically, leadership and maturity are meant to be examples. Older believers are called to model patience, gentleness, and integrity so that younger people can see respect lived out in action:

 “ That older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance, and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good, that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded. In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, and incorruptibility. Titus 2:2–7”

True authority grows from humility and consistency. When respect is both given and demonstrated, it restores trust and helps rebuild the moral fabric that healthy communities depend upon.

The truth is simple but uncomfortable: respect cannot be forced, demanded, or commanded into existence, it must be demonstrated. When those with age, authority, or influence fail to show humility, patience, and dignity toward others, they weaken the very standard they claim to defend. Over time, younger generations stop listening not because they hate wisdom, but because they rarely see true wisdom and respect practiced. If society is ever going to recover a culture of honor, it will not begin with louder demands for respect. It will begin when people, especially those in positions of maturity and leadership, choose to model the very respect they hope to receive. Real honor is not claimed; it is earned through consistent character.

As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions.

Fear Distorts Reality

Scripture: Numbers 13:33

“We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes…”

Devotion:
Fear has a way of making us feel small and enlarging everything else. When the Israelites saw the giants they didn’t lose the battle because the giants were too big they lost their perspective because God became too small in their thinking. When we allow fear to take over, we stop seeing ourselves as God’s called, strengthened, and upheld people. We then begin measuring life only by what we see. But the Bible reminds us that the everlasting God does not grow weary. We know that those who hope in Him rise up and do not shrink. Fear will fade away when we remember who God is and who we are because of Him.

Thoughts to Ponder:

In what way has fear caused you to see yourself as smaller or less capable than God says you are?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, correct my perspective when fear distorts the truth. Thank you for being my protector and guide when I need you. In Jesus Name Amen

Fear Is a Signal, Not a Sentence

Scripture: Psalm 56:3

“When I am afraid, I put my trust in You.”

Devotion:
By itself fear is not sin it is a signal. Fear will get us into something that feels uncertain or out of our control. The main problem is not feeling fear, but following it. David never pretend fear didn’t exist; he redirected it toward trust. Today, let fear become a reminder to turn your attention toward God instead of inward toward overwhelming worry.

Something to think about

When fear shows up in your life, what does it usually push you toward trusting God or trying to handle things on your own?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for being a guide when everything seems to be falling apart. When fear rises, remind me to turn toward You, not away from You. In Jesus Name Amen

Rest in God’s Presence

Scripture: Isaiah 26:3

“You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast.”

Devotion:
That consuming peace deepens when our minds remain fixed on God rather than focusing on our fears. This is a focus that doesn’t happen by accident it’s cultivated through time trusting Him. When we prepare our hearts for worship, we remember that peace is found not in answers, but in God’s presence.

Reflection:
How can you intentionally fix your mind on God today?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for the peace you always give me. As we prepare for tomorrow, we come honestly before You. I acknowledge the fears I,ve carried, spoken and unspoken, seen and unseen. I confess that I have sometimes trusted news, circumstances, or my own understanding more than Your promises.

Tonight, I choose to lay those fears at Your feet. I open my heart to the peace that only You can give, the peace that does not depend on circumstances but rests in Your presence. Prepare my heart to respond to Your Word, soften what has grown hard, and quiet what has grown anxious.

Tomorrow, when You invite me, to surrender, to trust again, give me the courage to respond. Let this be a moment of release, healing, and renewal.
Guard my heart and mind in Christ Jesus, and lead me into the freedom of Your peace. In Jesus Name Amen

Scripture: Proverbs 3:5–6

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart…”

Devotion:
Have you ever noticed that the majority of our fear comes from trying to control outcomes? God never meant for to manage these things that freak us out causing this fear. Trust grows when we surrender the illusion of control and confidently placing our confidence in God’s wisdom. Peace comes from trust and faith, not assuredness.

Reflection:
What are you trying to control that needs to be surrendered?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for always being the light when I need to see what is going on. Lord, I release control and choose to trust You with what I cannot change. In Jesus Name Amen

Scripture: Philippians 4:7

“And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Devotion:
God’s peace is not just blanket for comfort, it guards. This peace is like a sentry at the door, a peace that stands watch over your heart and mind. When fear tries to enter this peace reminds us that God is still in control. This guarding peace is not earned; it is received as we trust Him.

Reflection:
What thoughts need God’s peace to guard today?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for always being my guide when I do not know what way to turn. Let Your peace stand guard over my thoughts and emotions today. In Jesus Name Amen

The Source of True Peace

distractions in the office

Scripture: John 14:27

“Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you.”

Devotion:
The world offers peace that depends on circumstances, when things are going good, peace stays; when they don’t, the peace disappears. Jesus offers a different kind of peace. His peace flows from who He is, not from what is going on around us. When we stay connected to Him, peace becomes a settled confidence rather than a fragile feeling. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid. John 14:27

Reflection:
Where have you been looking for peace outside of Christ?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, I receive the peace You give, not the peace the world tries to offer. Lord, guide me in the right direction and be the light for the paths in front of me. In Jesus Name Amen

From Anxiety to Prayer

Posted on by Leave a comment
candle in the dark

Scripture: Philippians 4:6

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”

Devotion:
Anxiety is a form of misplaced focus. Paul does not condemn anxious thoughts, instead he redirects them. With every anxious thought becoming an invitation to pray. By bringing our fears to God, we shift the burden from our shoulders to His. Prayer is not a way to ignore reality; it places our reality in God’s hands.

Reflection:
What anxiety do you need to turn into prayer today?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for being the One that I can depend on when everything seems to be falling apart. I bring You what I’ve been worrying about instead of carrying it alone. Be the light in the darkness. In Jesus Name Amen

Recognizing the Noise

Posted on by Leave a comment
News drive

Scripture: John 16:33

“In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”

Devotion:
Have you ever noticed that fear will only grow louder when we live constantly connected to the noise of this world. Watching the News, the differing opinions, and the endless updates can quietly shape our hearts more than we realize. If we read the red letters in the Bible we can see that Jesus never promised a trouble-free life. However, He did promise victory while walking through it when in the middle of it. Peace begins when we understand that the noise around us does not have the final word Christ does.

Reflection:
What voices have been shaping your thoughts lately?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, please help me recognize the voices that stir fear in my heart. Help me block out the noise and teach me to listen more closely to Your voice of truth and peace. Thank you for being my guide. In Jesus Name Amen

“Anchored Before the Storm“

anchor

Scripture: Isaiah 33:6 There will be stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge. The fear of God is your treasure

Devotional Thought:
The Bible tells us that God Himself is the stability we need for our times. We never have to wait for life to settle down before trusting Him. We have to anchor ourselves in Him beforehand.

As we approach Sunday, prepare your heart to hear what God wants to reinforce in your life.

Reflection:
Where do you need God to be your stability right now?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, please anchor my heart in You. Prepare me to receive Your Word and trust You fully. Thank you Lord for everything that you do. In Jesus Name Amen

“A Kingdom That Cannot Be Shaken“

Posted on by Leave a comment
fire

Scripture: Hebrews 12:25-29 See that you don’t refuse him who speaks. For if they didn’t escape when they refused him who warned on the earth, how much more will we not escape who turn away from him who warns from heaven, whose voice shook the earth then, but now he has promised, saying, “Yet once more I will shake not only the earth, but also the heavens.” 

This phrase, “Yet once more” signifies the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that have been made, that those things which are not shaken may remain. Therefore, receiving a Kingdom that can’t be shaken, let’s have grace, through which we serve God acceptably, with reverence and awe, for our God is a consuming fire.

Devotional Thought:
Everything we see, and around us in this world has an expiration date with only one exception the Kingdom of God. When earthly systems fail, governments, relationships, religions, and thoughts, God’s Kingdom will still be standing. We should not cling to fear because we belong to something eternal, something bigger, something that is everlasting.

Our gratitude grows when we remember what cannot be taken from us.

Reflection:
How does belonging to God’s Kingdom reshape your outlook?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, thank you for giving me a Kingdom that cannot be shaken or destroyed. Teach me to live with gratitude.”

“Where Is Your Foundation?“

Posted on by Leave a comment
Hurricane

Scripture: Matthew 7:24–27 “Everyone therefore who hears these words of mine and does them, I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it didn’t fall, for it was founded on the rock. 

Everyone who hears these words of mine and doesn’t do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. The rain came down, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell—and its fall was great.”

Devotional
Jesus reminds us that there are going to be storms that come to every house. He expresses the importance that there is not the absence of storms, but safety when we have the presence of a solid foundation. If there is to much shaking, there will be some, but it can reveal what we have built our lives on.

Now is the time to reinforce our foundation. We should not wait until after the storm passes.

Reflection:
What has your faith been resting on lately?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, help me build my life on Your truth and not on these temporary flashy things. Thank you Lord for being the light to path and being a guide when I need it. In Jesus Name Amen

“God Is Not Moved”

Posted on by 1 Comment

Scripture: Psalm 46:1–3 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we won’t be afraid, though the earth changes, though the mountains are shaken into the heart of the seas; though its waters roar and are troubled, though the mountains tremble with their swelling. Selah.

chaos


The psalmist paints a vivid picture. The earth giving way, the mountains falling, waters roaring and overwhelming situation. However in the middle of all of the chaos, God is called our refuge and strength. While everything else may shift and seems to be falling apart, God remains the one and only constant.

Our security is not in stability, it is in His presence.

Thoughts to Ponder:
How does knowing God is unmovable change how you’ll face uncertainty?

Prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, be my refuge today. When everything feels unstable, remind me that You are always steady. Thank you lord for always being there. In Jesus Name Amen

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.Revelation 2:5 ESV

Did you know that the Old Testament in the bible contains enough prophesies about Jesus Christ that statistically it cannot be rationally explained without an overabundance of speculation? Over and over again in the Old Testament the prophets where instructed by God that the Messiah would come to be the King and be a sacrifice for our sins. We have been given this awesome opportunity to become part of His family, to be able to share the love and the protection that has been granted to us. He gave us free will to choose if we want to be with Him in heaven all you have to do is accept it. We will link together a number of these prophesies in the bible as we go. Always remember to read your bible so that you know that what is said here and anywhere else is from God and not from human input. Never believe what others say without testing their words we have been given a guide, the bible, that came from God Himself.

When evening had come, a rich man from Arimathaea named Joseph, who himself was also Jesus’ disciple, came. This man went to Pilate and asked for Jesus’ body. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given up. Joseph took the body and wrapped it in a clean linen cloth and laid it in his own new tomb, which he had cut out in the rock. Then he rolled a large stone against the door of the tomb, and departed. Matthew 27:57-60 WEB

But he was pierced for our transgressions. He was crushed for our iniquities. The punishment that brought our peace was on him; and by his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray. Everyone has turned to his own way; and Yahweh has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was taken away by oppression and judgment. As for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living and stricken for the disobedience of my people? Therefore I will give him a portion with the great. He will divide the plunder with the strong because he poured out his soul to death and was counted with the transgressors; yet he bore the sins of many and made intercession for the transgressors. Isaiah 53:5-6, 8, 12 WEB

He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds. 1 Peter 2:24 WEB

They shall leave none of it until the morning, nor break a bone of it. According to all the statute of the Passover they shall keep it. Numbers 9:12 WEB

Therefore the Jews, because it was the Preparation Day, so that the bodies wouldn’t remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a special one), asked of Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away. Therefore the soldiers came, and broke the legs of the first, and of the other who was crucified with him; but when they came to Jesus, and saw that he was already dead, they didn’t break his legs. However one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out. He who has seen has testified, and his testimony is true. He knows that he tells the truth, that you may believe. For these things happened that the Scripture might be fulfilled, “A bone of him will not be broken.”Exodus 12:46; Numbers 9:12; Psalm 34:20 Again another Scripture says, “They will look on him whom they pierced.”Zechariah 12:10 John 19:31-37 WEB
