The Little Things Added Up 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. 1 Thessalonians 5:17 Pray without ceasing. Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. For whatever reason, earlier this week I was doing some reflecting. I did some thinking back to things t

2 Corinthians 1:19-20 19 For the Son of God, Jesus Christ, who was preached among you by us, even by me and Silvanus and Timotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him was yea. 20 For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.            Have you ever heard someone say they needed to weigh the pros and cons of a situation so they could come to a conclusion? Maybe you have done that very thing. You examined the positives, compared that to

Exodus 35: 35 – “Them hath he filled with wisdom of heart, to work all manner of work, of the engraver, and of the cunning workman, and of the embroiderer, in blue, and in purple, in scarlet, and in fine linen, and of the weaver, even of them that do any work, and of those that devise cunning work.” In this passage, Moses is explaining how God had prepared wise and skillful men during their captivity in Egypt. This was significant because these men would teach others and appl

The Journey of a Child of God Exodus 16:1 And they took their journey from Elim, and all the congregation of the children of Israel came unto the wilderness of Sin, which is between Elim and Sinai, on the fifteenth day of the second month after their departing out of the land of Egypt.

2 Timothy 3:10-11 10 But thou hast fully known my doctrine, manner of life, purpose, faith, longsuffering, charity, patience, 11 Persecutions, afflictions, which came unto me at Antioch, at Iconium, at Lystra; what persecutions I endured: but out of them all the Lord delivered me.            The Apostle Paul was a man that was on constant public display, either by living a life of Christian character or suffering through the persecutions of living for Jesus. He accentuated th

The Church 1 Timothy 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. It's amazing how God can give you a thought when your going through a difficult time. As I spent about 4 hours in the emergency room and being poked with needles and everything else that goes along with a visit to the hospital, while laying there I said to myself you can't get a

Spiritual Unity Ephesians 4:13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: Here we find a powerful call to spiritual maturity and unity within the body of Christ. This verse expresses that all believers would grow together in faith, unified by a shared understanding of who Jesus is. This unity isn’t superficial agreement, but a deep, Spirit-led oneness that co

Ephesians 3:1 For this cause I Paul, the prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles            The Apostle Paul was committed to the cause of Christ. Once he was saved, he dedicated his life to the service of the Lord. He said in Philippians 1:21, “For to me to live is Christ…” and he states here in Ephesians 3 that he is the “prisoner of Jesus Christ for you Gentiles”. To be a “prisoner” is to be bound or restricted. It was something that Paul willfully submitted to. It was n
