Proverbs 11:13 A talebearer revealeth secrets: but he that is of a faithful spirit concealeth the matter. Giving out information that IS needed is not being a tattler. If a crime has been committed, tell what you know. If you or someone you know has been harmed, tell what

The book of Romans gives a full and complete view of our Great Triune God. In Romans 3:21 – 5:21 we are justified by the SON. In Romans 6-8 we are sanctified by the SPIRIT. In Romans 12-15 we learn all about serving for the glorification of the FATHER.

Romans 1-3 describes what we are by nature - condemned sinners with absolutely NO righteousness IN us. Romans 3-5 describes what we receive when we become a Christian - Christ's righteousness ON us. Romans 6-8 describes how to live as a Christian - with HIS righteousness IN us. Romans 9-11

God’s has truth prepared for us, and He is ready and willing to disclose that truth. This is called: REVELATION. 1 Corinthians 2:9-10 But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath

Jesus Christ is the past, present and future Stone. The Bible says in Matthew 21:42... Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is

For a Christian, your testimony of salvation is your personal story. It's called a testimony because we get to testify about how God saved us, by His GRACE. Even though each of our individual past circumstances and lifestyles are different, the stories we tell all point to the wonderful Cross-work

Decisions need to be made, each and every day. Some decisions aren't for you to make, other decisions are. It's ok to rejoice in the decisions that don't involve your input. However, the ones that do, you must not shy away from them. For many people, they are in a

In literature, a Chiastic structure is a short list of ideas, words or phrases that are then repeated back in reverse order. A Chiastic structure, or Chiasm, gives a mirror effect like this: "AB" then "BA" A simple example of this, is the phrase: "When the going gets tough, the

People want what they want. People ask for what they want. People reason, that what they want, is really something they absolutely need. Some even use John 14:14 to spiritualize getting what they want. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. But the

You'll find the use of thy and thine, as second-person singular pronouns in the King James Bible. Below is a simple explanation of when they are used. Thy is a singular pronoun. It is used before a noun that begins with a consonant or consonant sound. Psalm 104:24 O

1 Corinthians 3:5-6 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. Paul planted, but Paul didn't cause the plants to grow. Apollos watered, but Apollos

The world is ok with sports fans, Nascar fans, MMA fans, and music fans. Positively, these types of FANATICS are welcomed and praised. Others love to get to know them more. However, if you're a fan of Bible-truth, or a fan of Jesus you're hated, despised and persecuted. Negatively, you're

1 Peter 5:2-4 Feed the flock of God which is among you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd shall

If the preacher preaches for more than 20 minutes, he's long-winded. If his sermon is under 20 minutes, he doesn't study and prepare. If the preacher delivers a thundering loud sermon, he's overdramatic. If he talks in a normal tone of voice, he's dry and boring. If the preacher makes

John 17:13 And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. * I'm living in the world, but I've got the JOY of JESUS! John 17:14 I have given them thy word; and the world

Does the new birth and the glorious truth of God's salvation SET you free, or MAKE you free? Consider the following: People are "set free" from mental institutions, drug rehabs and jailhouses every day, only to end up right back where they started. There are a lot of young people

It's impossible to know everything there IS to know. The Bible even tells us that the world couldn't contain enough books with everything there is to know about the many things Jesus did. John 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they

God expects us to test and prove truth. As a matter of fact, the Bible says in 1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. Below are 3 ways to apply the truth principle found in 1 Thessalonians 5:21... ONE: Prove all things by

It's 100% certain, that our days here on earth will pass away. Because of this, God expects us to manage our time wisely with eternity in view. Psalm 90:12 So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom. The biggest key to understanding
