Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest. (Español abajo) Courage is doing what needs to be done, in the face of fear or danger of loss.  Courage is not the same thing as recklessness.  It’s more likely to […]

John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world. I have never seen that verse stuck to a refrigerator, nor anywhere else for that matter.  It should be though!  It should bring great consolation to us. Tribulation means a […]

Awkward- causing or feeling embarrassment or inconvenience. (Para Español sigue abajo) Love is visible, touchable, approachable, receptive, kind and friendly.  There is nothing awkward about love. 1 John 1:1That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked at and our hands have touched–this we proclaim concerning the Word of […]

 1 Thessalonians 5:14 Now we exhort you, brethren, warn them that are unruly, comfort the feebleminded, support the weak, be patient toward all [men] You thought this was going to be a plea for financial support, right?  Haha, WRONG!  I will say one thing though.  Whether someone one donates $10 or $10,000, it makes me eternally grateful.  I know the donators are […]

(por favor, desplácese hacia abajo para español)  Matthew 25:36 I was naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. The original Greek word for visited means literally, to look out for.  It is also gerund, meaning NOT just one time. J Vernon McGee said, […]

 Luke 15:4 Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? Times must have changed. I don’t know of anyone who would risk 99 things because he lost 1 thing.  If an accountant for example were to loose […]

-An attitude, habit, or belief firmly established/permanent; Ingrained. Note: I may be in Tampa the 27-29th of April, I would love to see you there. Matthew 21:15 And when the chief priests and scribes saw the wonderful things that *Jesus* did, and the children crying in the temple, and saying, Hosanna to the son of David; they were sore displeased. The children (literally-12 year old boys) were crying out to Jesus, “Hosanna.” (Literal meaning, […]

Leviticus 11:20  Don’t eat insects that have wings and walk on all four feet; they also are to be hated. ‘Don’t eat bugs.’ -God God used His Word to keep the people safe in the wilderness in a time that germs and diseases were yet to be discovered.  God still does.  Back then God used the insects to remove the invisible things that would […]

Matthew 7:26-27  And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not do them will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand. And the rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell… Look at the picture above!  Jesus warned us about this!  Here is a guy who built his […]

Matthew 6:2   So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by others. Have you ever noticed that there are no classes or self help books on how to be humble?  It’s because humble people don’t realize that they are. Here are two verses about […]
