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. 

Please click here to watch the video now.

We love you all greatly! 

Sincerely in Christ,

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 – 5-27-24

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!

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-8-24

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.

The importance of staying in God’s word can’t be stressed nearly enough.

His word is the lifeblood that keeps us nourished and growing.

It is living, breathing and powerful.

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.

And here’s a little something to meditate on; if a situation comes along that causes us to spend less time in His word than normal, we may begin to “lose our edge”. And it will likely happen more quickly than we might think.

If our time in His word decreases, we will begin to hunger after His word.

We will begin to long for our time in it. And we may even become frustrated with whatever it is that is robbing us of that time.

You see, His word helps us discern more quickly, more powerfully and more accurately.

His word fills our reservoir, so to speak. Without it we are empty and dry.

And His word is a weapon to be used against the onslaught of the enemy when he attacks us and tries to take us down.

1 Peter 5:8 (NKJV) 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

So, let us do whatever is necessary to take back our time in His word, being sure to fight against anything that tries to steal that time from us.

The fight may not be easy, but we will never regret doing it.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-2-23

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.

During our lifetimes as a follower of Christ, we will see and hear many people claiming to have a word for us from God.

We will hear teachings on many different topics, all supposedly based on God’s word.

We will have people tell us that God wants to bless us, or that He wants to anoint us for a specific task.

We will see groups of people, some of them exceptionally large, following teachers who tell them how good their lives can be.

Our walk with God will be a lengthy obstacle course full of things that we will need to discern and determine whether they are of God or not.

How do we do this?

How do we accurately discern these things and know who or what to believe as truth?

Simple.

Go back to the word of God.

The word of God is our measuring stick. It is the standard by which everything we see and hear is validated or proven to be false.

Sometimes the things we hear are plainly false. We know it the second we hear it.

Other things might not be quite so cut and dry.

Many falsehoods are skillfully wrapped in tidbits of truth but are really lies in a pretty package.

This is why it is critical for us to always go back to the word of God.

As we spend time studying, learning, researching, growing, and maturing, we will gain a more solid understanding of His word that will help us break through the confusion and peel back the layers of false teachings.

And this will make the truth glaringly obvious to us, allowing us to toss away the heresy that masquerades as the genuine article.

Always go back to the word of God!

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-24-23

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 the lifeblood to our walk with Him.

It is the source by which we are transformed from the darkness of this world to God’s light (righteousness), as we take it in and let it change us.

God’s word is the seeds of righteousness planted in our spirits.

But let’s be very clear about something.

The righteousness we seek is not a quest to be perfect or flawless. Only Christ Himself was capable of that kind of perfection.

For us, the pursuit we embark upon is one by which we seek to walk out the freedoms that Christ died to make available to us.

You see, the darkness and cares of the world will do nothing but weigh us down, making it increasingly difficult to walk the path that God has set before us.

But His word will help us discern evil (darkness), recognize it and defeat it on a personal level.

Our quest is never about being better than someone else. It isn’t even about being a better person.

And it is absolutely not about looking at others and judging them.

Our goal should always be to look only at ourselves, allowing God to search our hearts, letting His word penetrate our soul, that He may be able to put His finger on those things that He wants us to surrender to Him.

In doing so, we will become ever stronger and more readily able to resist temptation and thwart the attacks of the enemy.

Study the word. Absorb it and let it penetrate your very being.

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 – 7-20-23

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

The Bible does not just contain the word of God. It is the word of God!

From cover to cover, it is His very breath speaking to our spirit.

The Greek word, theopneustos, is translated, “Inspiration of God”, meaning “God-breathed”. Hallelujah!

Men did not write the Bible from their own human intellect. It was directly breathed from God.

2 Peter 1:20 (NKJV) 20 knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation…

They wrote as the Holy Spirit led them. It was not of their own understanding or interpretation.

Every word of the Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit and written through the hands of obedient men.

2 Peter 1:21 (NKJV) 21 for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

When we open up the Bible and receive His word through reading and meditating on the scriptures, we receive God-breathed, Spirit-filled answers, correction and revelation into our personal situations or any problems we may be dealing with.

It provides us with the knowledge we need to walk in righteousness. It equips us to live in such times as what we are living in right now.

As a believer, we need all of His guidance through His words. It’s so important we take time to read and study.

It is crucial for our daily walk. His word completes us, and it makes us whole! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 4-13-23

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

Knowing what His word says will keep us from indulging in sin. It will bring conviction when we are weak and ready to cave in to temptation.

Hiding His word in our heart means to READ scripture, meditate on scripture and know scripture.

We need to walk in the scripture, live in the scripture and hold it dear to our heart. It is our answer to everything we face.

Some may say, “well, that’s nice but who has time to sit and read?”.

We all have time given to us. It’s what we do with our time that counts.

We have full control over our time. We will fill it up with the things we feel we need to do.

Hopefully, we will see that we need to be in God’s word daily.

Everything else can wait. Reading God’s word should be a priority every day. It is so very important that we get it in us.

Proverbs 22:6 (NKJV) 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Parents, we are responsible for training up our children. Let us teach them and train them in the way they should go. Get them in God’s word early. If they can’t read, read it to them.

Oh, they may fuss about it, stomp their feet or kick and scream at times. But stay strong; don’t give in. They need it in them more than we will ever know.

Let us hide His word in our hearts today, so when sin comes knocking on our door, we have the strength in us to avoid it and to shut it down quickly! Amen.

Bible Verse of The Day – 8-17-22

2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NKJV) 16 All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17 that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.

Over the years, as I have spent more and more time in God’s word, the importance of doing so has become abundantly clear.

It’s not just about “learning” the word.

It’s not just about memorizing scripture.

And it’s not just about reading the Bible in its entirety.

It is about much more; so much more, in fact, that it’s too much to describe or define.

But let me make a genuine effort to put it into words so as to bring some things to light.

God’s word is not just printed text on pages.

It is not just a story that has been passed down from generation to generation, for many centuries.

It is not just a book that we read to our children to pass the tradition down to them.

God’s word is alive. It is breathing and life-giving. And it’s so critical that we grasp and understand this, or we might wither up and die.

Spending time in God’s word on a regular basis will increase our understanding, give us wisdom for making sound choices, and it will teach us who God is, making it easier for us to know who He wants us to be.

If you’ve been with us for any length of time, you’ll know that we constantly try to drive home the importance of spending time in His word, feeding on it daily. This is because of everything that was mentioned above, and for many other reasons that we haven’t mentioned. The reasons are really too numerous to cover in one devotional!

So, with all of that said, please understand the importance of this, and heed God’s promptings to pick up His word and feast on it.

It’s not just something that we should casually consider, but something that we absolutely should do each and every day.
