We read one of many verses about the importance of slaying the sin that still dwells within us. But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. ( 1 Corinthians 9:27 KJV). See also also Colossians 3:5. To that end, I strive to slay the sin in me. I pray constantly to the Lord for the Spirit's help in sinning less against Jesus today than I did yesterday. Sometimes, when I feel strong (boastful?) I think my war cry against sin looks and sounds like this: But I am such a puny human! Most days I am sure that my ferocious war cry really just looks and sounds like this: Praise the Lord for His strength, His constant love, and His faithfulness in keeping us in His hand!

Sinning. Every human on the planet, no matter his or her age, is good at sinning. Hands down. Me included. Look at this example from scripture. Woe to you, blind guides, who say, 'If anyone swears by the temple, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gold of the temple, he is bound by his oath.' You blind fools! For which is greater, the gold or the temple that has made the gold sacred? And you say, 'If anyone swears by the altar, it is nothing, but if anyone swears by the gift that is on the altar, he is bound by his oath.' You blind men! For which is greater, the gift or the altar that makes the gift sacred? So whoever swears by the altar swears by it and by everything on it. And whoever swears by the temple swears by it and by him who dwells in it. And whoever swears by heaven swears by the throne of God and by him who sits upon it. (Matthew 23:16-21). What this section of scripture is about is Jesus pronouncing woes upon the Pharisees. The Pharisees were one of

It says in 2 Timothy 3:13, evil men and seducers will wax worse and worse. The study note for that verse explains that "all the dangerous movements of the false teachers (cf. vv. 1-9) will become increasingly more successful until Christ comes. Cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:11)." This is a sobering thought. Very sobering. False teachers are a scourge and a plague. They are worse than locusts who sweep across the field and leave only broken and inedible crumbs in their wake. False teachers destroy souls. False prophets bring Jesus into disrepute and they steal His glory. Lest we believe that those who follow these false teachers and prophets are helpless victims, they are not. Followers of these locusts love to have it so. They actually heap up the false teachers to themselves. (2 Timothy 4:3). False teachers have been around since even before the world was formed and satan was spreading his evil merchandise in heaven to his companion hosts. (Ezekiel 28:16). Jeremiah wrote in around 6

May 2nd was a very full day for us. We spent the morning at the Thorvaldsen Museum as I have already shared . The afternoon was spent exploring more sites and ended with a visit to the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek. We stayed at the Scandic Palace Hotel, right in the heart of historic Copenhagen and very close to one of the most famous Hans Christian Andersen sites in Copenhagen, the bronze statue of HCA looking at the Tivoli. Probably the Little Mermaid in the harbor is only more famous for HCA sites in Copenhagen. Sorry, I failed to get a good picture of the Andersen Castle at the Tivoli and hadn't realized it. You can see the statue to the left in the picture above.  The Tivoli is an amusement park and entertainment facility, one that charmed HCA when it opened. The gardens inspired him to write "The Nightingale" according to Tivoli's historical timeline : On August 15, 1843 the garden gates were opened for the first time and the guests were awestruck by the elegant and

Parents, I can't imagine how hard it must be to raise children in this sex-drenched, lascivious age. Millennials, I can't imagine how hard it is for you, between the ages of 18 and 25, to negotiate college, relationships, and the world in this age of sin and temptation. This is why I appreciated discovering Katie Gregoire's video channel. According to her " About " on Youtube, Katie Gregoire is, just a quirky, 19 year old, Christian university student who likes to talk to a camera every now and then. I also have atrocious parking skills and a slight obsession with Captain America. Stay awesome, and don't be stupid or make bad decisions. - Katie xo, James 1:2-3 Katie talks really fast. But she enunciates very well. OK, I got that out of the way. She is a college student who muses on Christian life. I've listened to two of her videos (only 2 cuz of the talking fast thing...) and I enjoyed them. I really liked her 'rant on purity' very much. Many othe

Crazy world! But the sane world is coming, and Jesus will rule and reign. So we study end time prophecy in order to obey the command of Him who said to be watchful, sober, and vigilant; to encourage each other with these words, and to turn our eyes from this world in preparation for the next. And let's offer His world to as many as we can! Let's encourage fellow saints who are fainting, embroiled in besetting sin, or who are only lukewarm. We all need encouragement, and it's the one thing these days that is FREE. Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing . (1 Thessalonians 5:11). But you, beloved, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit , (Jude 1:20). Have you been thinking all along that we were making a defense to you? We speak before God in Christ, and all of this, beloved, is to build you up . (2 Corinthians 12:19). And soon enough, one of these days we will all really be physically going up,
