(pt 2 of 2 parts in Sowing/Reaping) Psalm 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. Joy is unspeakable. This joy accompanies us when we reap what we sowed in tears. Joy is something that can not be explained. It only comes through loving Jesus, not fearing man. Joyful people are not coming […]

Sow
(pt 1 of 2 parts in Sow/Reap) Psalm 126:5 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. These are tough times. Actually for many, this whole decade has been really tough so far, with no end in sight. Worldwide panic and paranoia. Distrust, lies and fake news abounding from all sides. Grandparents isolated from […]
Honor
1 Samuel 2:30…for them that honour me I will honour, and they that despise me shall be lightly esteemed I like the old english spelling of the word honour because it is ‘our honour’. It’s ours to give or not to give. We honour God only because He deserves to be honoured. That is the […]
Door
John 9:11. I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture. My little sister came up to me around the year 2000 and said, ‘I found a new group called the “old doors”. It would have been pretty funny, […]
Matters
Ecclesiasticus 3:23 “Be not curious in unnecessary matters: for more things are shewed unto thee than men understand.” ‘Matters’ is a lofty word. Pompous people like to throw this word around because it’s fancy sounding. Pastors down here like to use it a lot. With internet, we have a hundred times the matter content that […]
Resistance
Romans13:2 “Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God” ‘Resistance’ has many meanings, like the word ‘power’. ‘Resisting power’ as a phrase has even more interpretations. Sure, authorities are power, as some translations suggest. We shouldn’t resist our president nor the police if we are followers of Christ. We are to obey our […]
If
Deuteronomy 28:1IF thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth: IF is a word used 1,595 times in the KJV/if/conjunction (introducing […]
Patience
Galatians 5: 22-23 ‘But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. Against such things there is no law’Berean Study Bible Words are thought containers. They are designed to bundle up a bunch of useless letters (individually), put them together and send them as a thought (idea) […]
Truth
——espanol abajo—— Ephesians 4:15 “But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, evenChrist:” Missionary-ville is a small town. I have a european missionary friend over the years. He would always kind of embarrass me because wherever he went he would get upset and yell at people. Like […]
Perfect
—— español abajo—— MATTHEW 5:48 BE YE THEREFORE PERFECT EVEN AS YOUR FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN IS PERFECT.: THIS ISN’T AN OPTIONAL STATEMENT. Jesus said ‘be perfect’, it’s a commandment. I always said as an excuse, *until now*, THAT NO ONE’S PERFECT. But Jesus commands us to be perfect. That means it’s possible. Jesus also […]
