  • Bible Verse of The Day – 3-23-26

    Psalm 119:11 (NKJV) 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

    Many believers wrestle with sin. It taunts them daily, challenging them to flirt with things that they know will cause them to fall.

    And many of these same believers wonder how they can conquer this problem once and for all.

    There is a love/hate relationship with the things that give them fleshly pleasure yet will ultimately bring death.

    How can this change? What will bring strength to fight these daily challenges?

    The answer is not always easy. And for each person it may be a bit different.

    But one of the biggest factors for all of us is understanding the power of having God’s Word “hidden in our heart”.

    His Word is rich with truth that will help set us free if we allow it to.

    He uses it to teach us, admonish us, encourage us, discipline us, and to remind us of the things that will bring us freedom from sin and death.

    But we must spend time reading and studying if it is to have any power at all in our lives.

    We can’t neglect God’s Word. We must make the effort to spend time in it each day, learning of Him and understanding Him better.

    Let us sincerely endeavor to hide His Word in our hearts, that we may not sin against Him 🙏🏻

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 2-3-26

    Proverbs 2:2 (NKJV) 2 So that you incline your ear to wisdom, And apply your heart to understanding;

    How do we find God’s wisdom and understanding? One step at a time.

    All the wisdom we need is in the word of God. It’s crucial that we spend time in His word. It’s also important to be in prayer and listening for His voice and promptings at times.

    John 10:27 (NKJV) 27 My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

    Wisdom comes in letting Him guide our steps through His word. Every step we take in obeying Him will bring the wisdom and understanding we need for that moment, hour and situation.

    How do we hear His voice? He speaks through His words. All the scriptures were written for our guidance.

    2 Timothy 3:16 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,

    We often cry out for God to give us wisdom. But we don’t spend time in His word. So, we don’t know the steps He has for us to take.

    And what happens? We remain in the same state of mind and the same situations. Nothing changes.

    We must put the time in. He’s not going to just do it for us.

    He gave us His word to follow. Through it we will find guidance. And by obeying we will grow in His wisdom.

    Proverbs 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Wisdom is the principal thing; Therefore get wisdom. And in all your getting, get understanding.

    Find His Wisdom and understanding for your situation today in His living word to you. Read it, obey, and walk it out.

    When we are faithful to spend time in God’s Holy Spirit-inspired Word, and we obey what He tells us to do, His wisdom will be moving and alive in us!

    It is then that we will see things change, and wonderful things come to pass!

    Amen.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 9-13-25

    Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    I love God’s word.

    And with each day, month and year that passes, I love it more.

    Why?

    Because It nourishes my soul and strengthens my spirit.

    It teaches me who God is. It encourages me to draw near to Him.

    It gives me understanding in the things of God.

    It shows me the path to walk in life, bringing glory and honor to God in all that I do.

    And it sharpens me, like a flint sharpens a razor, taking off the blemishes and rough edges.

    God’s word is a critical part of our relationship with Him. The more we feed on it, the stronger we become.

    Read what David wrote about God’s word!

    Psalm 119:130 (LSB) 130 The unfolding of Your words gives light; It gives understanding to the simple.

    Psalm 119:9 (LSB) 9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word.

    Psalm 119:114 (NKJV) 114 You are my hiding place and my shield; I hope in Your word.

    Psalm 119:11 (NKJV) 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

    Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

    Let us each devote ourselves to the learning and study of, and the meditation upon His word that we may grow and flourish as His children.

    Amen

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 6-29-25 – How To Read Your Bible

    Please click to watch the video now.Greetings in the mighty name of Jesus! 

    We hope each day sees you drawing closer to God. 

    We have a new video for you today that we hope will benefit everyone, regardless of your “spiritual age” or level of maturity in Christ. 

    Today’s video is called, How to Read Your Bible. 

    To some, that title may seem a bit odd, since the Bible is text printed on paper, and reading it should be simple. But because it is the word of God, and not just a book, it does require special consideration when it comes to reading it properly! 

    We hope this video will bring understanding and clarity to this topic for everyone.

    We love you all greatly!

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 1-10-25

    Psalm 119:11 (NKJV) 11 Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.

    Learning and growing in knowledge of the word of God is foundational to our maturity as a believer.

    There is NO substitute for this.

    There are no shortcuts.

    We must make the conscious choice to learn His word.

    There are untold numbers of verses and examples found in His word, written by multiple authors, who reinforce this truth.

    David, Paul, and Solomon are just a few.

    Even Jesus confirmed this when He stated that man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matthew 4:4).

    David stated this:

    Psalm 119:9 (LSB) 9 How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according to Your word.

    David got it. He understood that knowing God’s word is where everything else starts.

    We each start with (have been given) a measure (seed) of faith, as stated in Romans 12:3.

    All seeds require nourishment to grow. Without it, they quickly spring up and then wither and die.

    God’s word is that nourishment. It feeds our spirit. It strengthens the building blocks that are the foundation of our faith, making it impenetrable by the enemy and his tactics.

    When God’s word is hidden (treasured) in our heart, we have an ever present, always-vigilant defense mechanism always at the ready.

    It is up to us to use that defense mechanism.

    It is up to us to feed it.

    And it is up to us to be sure it gets strengthened regularly, that it does not fail or falter due to impotence and malnutrition.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 1-6-25

    Colossians 3:15 (NKJV) 15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful.

    This verse is popular among followers of Christ, as it gives encouragement to those who hear it and may be struggling with stress, anxiety, etc.

    But there is much more to this verse than what appears on the surface. So, as we often do, let us dig in and see what it means in its fullness and in its proper context.

    To do that, we must go back and see exactly what is being referred to here.

    Technically, this discourse begins in verse 1 of chapter 3, as Paul exhorted the believers to leave behind the carnal ways of their previous lives and live as new creations in Christ.

    But Paul homed in on the principles of the verse above in verse 12, where he taught the Colossian believers to put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering when dealing with each other, forgiving each other as Christ forgave them.

    And then he drove his point home, telling them to “put on love, which is the bond of perfection”, which enables them to practice such attributes as kindness, patience, meekness, etc.

    It was then that he encouraged them to let the peace of God rule in their hearts, after preparing their hearts in advance for what he was about to say.

    And then, he taught them what is required to do so; letting “the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom” that they may teach and admonish each other in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in their hearts to the Lord.

    You see, the word of God is the foundation upon which everything about our walk with Him is built upon.

    It is the word of God and the Holy Spirit by which we live, grow, and mature as believers.

    We must feed our spirits with the food of His word. It is our sustenance. Without it, we wither and die.

    Let us feed daily on His word, growing in understanding and truth, that we may please Him and reflect His glory in all we do.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 12-16-24

    Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    God’s word is more than most of us can ever comprehend.

    It is more than mere words on a page.

    It is more than digital pixels on a screen.

    It is more than just something to be memorized.

    God’s word is alive!

    The word of God is our defense against temptation.

    Jesus taught us this when He defended Himself against the attacks of the devil by quoting God’s word while He was being tempted in the desert.

    Matthew 4:4 (NKJV) 4 But He answered and said, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.’”

    You see, as we store God’s word in our hearts, the Holy Spirit will bring it to remembrance as we need it.

    It is like having a reservoir overflowing with water when we are thirsty.

    Does this mean we must memorize scriptures word by word?

    No. Not at all. But it does mean that we need to spend enough time in it to ingrain it in our being.

    We must get an understanding of it that will build our spirit up, strengthening us in preparation for the attacks of the enemy.

    So, let us make the time necessary for us to partake in God’s word each day, learning to rightly divide the word of truth that we may live by it in everything we face.

    2 Timothy 2:15 (NKJV) 15 Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 5-31-24

    Ecclesiastes 11:5 (NKJV) 5 As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

    At its face value, this verse speaks volumes to the wonders and mysteries of God and His works.

    No one can understand Him or comprehend His ways.

    That statement itself is a testament to what this verse plainly states in its most basic sense.

    But as I dug a bit deeper, I discovered that there is more, much more to what this verse is saying.

    Join me as we uncover some hidden treasure!

    In the translation above, it is stated that “we do not know what is the way of the wind.”

    But if we look at references to the original manuscripts, we will first see that “wind” is referring to “spirt” (lowercase s), as in the spirit of man.

    This now begins to connect some dots for us regarding the reference to “how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child.”

    Here is one snippet from some original manuscripts: you do not know how the spirit enters the bones in the womb.

    Another manuscript says it like this: Just as you cannot understand how breath comes to a tiny baby in its mother’s womb.

    Just knowing these two little tidbits shines a huge light on a deeper meaning for the verse above!

    It shows us more about God’s sovereignty and His workings in things that are truly a mystery to the human intellect.

    This is just one example of what can be found if we take the time to dig deeper into God’s word.

    How does breath enter a tiny baby in the womb? It is a mystery that we will never know.

    But knowing the deeper meaning of the original manuscripts gives us small pieces of knowledge that are otherwise hidden and can help us see God in a new light.

    And all of this will lead us to a deeper love for Him, our wonderful Creator and Redeemer.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 5-27-24

    Hebrews 4:12 (NKJV) 12 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

    The word of God is not something we should take lightly. His word is our source of knowledge, truth, and understanding.

    His word illuminates our path. It shines a light as we walk.

    His word shows us who He wants us to be.

    His word gives proof of who He is and how He created everything we see.

    His word feeds our spirit.

    And His word shows us that He loves us.

    And yet, despite this and more, so few believers read His word.

    Many people simply leave it up to their pastors or other church leaders to tell them what they need to hear.

    They fail to make the effort to verify that what they are being told is legitimate and accurate.

    This is a dangerous place to be; trusting someone else to secure our eternal destiny.

    It is, in fact, a place that will, more-often-than-not, lead many to spiritual death; eternal separation from God.

    Life without God’s word is not life at all. It is a dry, mundane existence that will leave us empty and hollow shells of the men and women He desires us to be.

    It is life lived by intellect, emotion, and instinct instead of by the Spirit of God.

    Spending time in His word is not optional. It is mandatory if we desire to truly walk with Him.

    Be careful not to misunderstand this. God will not force anyone to read His word any more than He will force us to trust Him.

    But if we call ourselves His child, would we not want to know our Father completely, that our relationship with Him would be more than a passing mention of Him from time to time?

    Would we not want to know everything we can know about the One we call Father?

    If this brings feelings of conviction, or if you find yourself struggling in your walk with God, we urge you to pick up your Bible and spend time reading it.

    Put forth the effort needed to not only read it, but feast on it. Devour it as though your life depends on it. Because, in reality, it does.

    Psalm 119:105 (NKJV) 105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

  • Bible Verse of The Day – 2-5-24

    1 Corinthians 10:13 (NKJV) 13 No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.

    It seems like every day I hear another Biblical mistruth.

    Some are common. Others are rather obscure.

    The scripture above is one that has been frequently misunderstood and improperly translated into a phrase that we all hear often.

    It goes like this; God will never give you more than you can handle!

    This phrase is repeated often, even by people with a lot of influence.

    Many of the well-known people who repeat this misleading phrase are not Christians.

    But having it get passed around even by influential nonbelievers can cause a fair share of misunderstanding and confusion for believers who are young in their faith or not well studied in God’s word.

    So, let us look more closely at this so as not to fall into the trap that has been so smoothly laid by the enemy.

    If we look closely, we will immediately see that this verse has nothing at all to do with the trials we face or burdens we bear. It clearly states “temptation” in the first few words.

    In the original Greek, temptation and tempted can also be replaced with test or tested, as in the testing of our will when it comes to resisting sin.

    Knowing this, we could also read it as this; No test has overtaken you…

    Next, we need to consider the word, overtaken. Overtaken simply means confronted or challenged.

    The words, common to man, imply that no temptation we face is unique. We are just like everyone else, facing the same kinds of tests of our will.

    So, no temptation or test that we are confronted with is unique to us. We are not special, nor do we face any temptation that is more difficult than what anyone else faces.

    Take note that the next thing we read is that God is faithful. Of course He is!

    And then what?

    He will not allow us to “be tempted (have our will tested) beyond what we are able (to bear or overcome).

    And look at that last part; with the temptation (test) (He) will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear (overcome) it.

    Now, when we hear someone saying that God will never give us more than we can handle, we will know the truth about what this verse really means, right down to the tiniest detail!
