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 – 1-6-25

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 – 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 – 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 – 7-30-20

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.

There is power in the word of God.

The entire Bible, the word of God, is for us to read, to learn from and to grow.

Through it, we get to see the character of our Heavenly Father, His Son Jesus Christ and the sweet Holy Spirit in the fullness of their unity, working together perfectly.

As we study Him through His word, we will grow in our reverence toward Him. We will change from the inside.

Our purpose for living will change, and our hearts will change as we begin to take on His desires.

Who wants to know what God is about on a personal level?

Read His words. We will see His heart, His character and His strong love for us. Learn of His firmness, His provision, and His way of guiding us. He is powerful, sharp, and He discerns the intents of our hearts!

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, the very word of God, is available for us all to pick up and read. And as we do, it will change our hearts, equip us and complete us.

Bible Verse of The Day – 7-21-20

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.’

Putting God’s Word to work in our lives will keep our discernment sharp.

We will be in tune with His Spirit. He will keep us strong in areas where we are weak.

But we have to stay in His word. Even if it is just a little bit each day, it helps.

Isaiah 40:29 (NKJV) 29 He gives power to the weak, And to those who have no might He increases strength.

Now, how much time do we give Him in His word? Only we can be honest with ourselves and answer this question.

If we haven’t been giving Him time, then that is probably why we are struggling with restlessness, fear, worrying, and are always in a very frustrated state of mind.

Start today. Give Him some of our time.

Things will come together. He will bring encouragement and stand with us in all that life throws at us.

Deuteronomy 20:4 (NKJV) 4 for the Lord your God is He who goes with you, to fight for you against your enemies, to save you.’

Bible Verse of The Day – 9-9-19

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.’ ”

Jesus used the word of God to defend Himself against the temptations that the devil was hitting Him with. He didn’t go into long speeches or enter into debates with him. He simply spoke the word of God.

If Jesus did this, how much more important is it that we get the word of God in us and so we can use it as a weapon against the enemy?

We need the word of God in our lives on a daily basis.

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.

It’s not just a coincidence that those who spend the most time in God’s word usually have a stronger walk with God.

On a recent fishing trip, I was having a discussion of Biblical topics with one of the men on my boat. He made a statement that was interesting. He said that he did some studying of people who moved in the gift of healing and found that one of the strongest common threads among all of them was the amount of time they spent in the word of God.

We obviously shouldn’t spend time in the Word solely with an expectation of becoming a prophet, or to attain any other spiritual gift or office. But the fact that most of these people do spend large amounts of time in God’s word helps to prove the need for it in all of our lives.

God’s word builds our trust in Him, thereby giving us stronger faith. And this just makes us stronger each and every day in so many different ways.

Bible Verse of The Day – 5-4-19

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.

What does His word do? It reveals to us the things we need to change In ourselves to better our relationship with Him, and to walk the walk He has for us.

The word of God is alive. That means it will meet us where we are at in this very hour.

He will be with us during the season we are in and His word will hit that very area in us that needs to be either built up, broken down and/or corrected.

It is powerful, carrying such a simple but very profound message, and it speaks truth to every situation we are facing.

It will take us from being flat on our backs, into a bold, confident and victorious walk with Almighty God Himself.

The word of God will get into those areas that we may want to hide and never deal with. That may sound scary to some of us that want to never remember some things that have happened throughout our life.

But we can assure you that if God is touching us in that area, it’s time to deal with it. It’s time to remember. It’s time to talk it out, cry it out, and get it out.

God brings healing, restoration and the joy of His salvation to our souls. What a beautiful Father! Amen.

Psalm 51:12 (NKJV) 12 Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, And uphold me by Your generous Spirit.

Bible Verse of The Day – 1-29-19

Matthew 4:1 (NKJV) 1 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil.

Jesus fasted for 40 days. And at the end of that time, the devil came to tempt Him.

Because Jesus hadn’t eaten for 40 days, the devil offered Jesus what he thought would be the most likely thing to get Him to fall; food.

Jesus rebuffed the devil, telling him that man doesn’t live by bread alone, but by the word of God.

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.’ ”

The devil tempted Him again, taunting Him and encouraging Him to throw Himself off of the high place they were on, telling Jesus that God’s angels would surely protect Him if He decided to do so.

Again, Jesus countered the devil, telling him that we should not tempt God.

Matthew 4:7 (NKJV) 7 Jesus said to him, “It is written again, ‘You shall not tempt the Lord your God.’ ”

The third attempt, the devil took Jesus to a very high place. He showed Jesus great kingdoms of the world and all of their glory, telling Him that if He would bow down to him, all of this could be His.

Once again, Jesus rebuked the devil, telling him to leave, and reminding him that we shall worship and serve God, and only God.

Matthew 4:10 (NKJV) 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Away with you, Satan! For it is written, ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and Him only you shall serve.’ ”

So, if Jesus, the Son of God relied on God’s word to rebuke the devil, how much more should we also rely on God’s word to defend ourselves from the wiles of the enemy?

How much more should we hide God’s word in our hearts to make sure we can stand strong when the pressure of temptation tries its hardest to drive us backwards and bring us to our knees?

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

His word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Let’s follow that light and stand strong in Him!

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