2 Kings 7.2
When we are seeking the Lord’s will in some matter, we may often say something like, “If the Lord leads us to...”, or, “If the Lord opens the door...”. And our heart’s attitude is happy to follow however the Lord may be leading.
However, the man in the passage above is just the opposite. “...if the LORD...” he says. He is a lord in the court of the king of Israel, and in speaking these words he is mocking God. His attitude is one of doubt and ridicule, “...if the LORD...”

1 Thessalonians 2.4
That really is an amazing statement!
“…we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel…”
God has intrusted us with the Gospel!
That is a huge responsibility, especially considering the rest of what the Apostle Paul says, “But as we were allowed of God to be put in trust with the gospel, even so we speak; not as pleasing men, but God, which trieth our hearts.”

James 1:2-3
One morning recently I woke up discouraged. It was kind of like, I “got out on the wrong side of bed”!

1 John 1.10
Some people think the Bible is hard to understand...
I don’t have any trouble understanding that verse, “If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar”.
Sure, I would like to think that I am a pretty good person, and if we claim to be born again Christians we certainly ought to be living right but,
“If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar”.

Acts 1:1
The above comes from the book in the Bible that is commonly called “The Acts of the Apostles”. It could be called “The Acts of the early Christians”, or better yet, “The Acts of the early churches”, OR even better… “The Acts of what ‘Jesus began both to do and teach’”!
My point is, this book of the Bible is NOT called “The Acts of the Roman Government”, or “The Acts of the Senate”…
Do WE GET this?

Acts 16:14-15
THIS IS GREAT! May God give us good, kind and powerful answers!
James Coleman was saved when he was eleven-years-old, in 1838. As an adult was a county sheriff, but went on to become a gospel preacher.
Coleman was gifted with a clear and quick mind and a way with words. He was often asked to participate in debates with other preachers over doctrine, and often he consented.

Jeremiah 21:8
I’m pretty sure the Lord had said this sort of thing before…
Yes… a few times actually…
Deuteronomy 11:26, “Behold, I set before you this day a blessing and a curse;” and again in…
Deuteronomy 30:19, “I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life…” and…

Lamentations 2:6
I read this verse… Wednesday morning the 18th of March 2020… the morning we were told to avoid groups of more than 100 people indoors, and in America, groups of 10! Everything has been affected, including churches.
Would we miss it if we couldn’t go to church? If there was a ban on people "assembling" to worship?

James 4.8
I submit that we need to go back to the drawing board. We have a Bible, so we have absolutely NO excuse!
The Book of James is known as the “Proverbs of the New Testament”. We believe it was written by James, the half-brother of our Lord Jesus. He witnessed Christ’s appearance after the resurrection, saw Jesus return to heaven and was a leader in the church at Jerusalem. We believe God used James to write this New Testament book shortly after the early churches began to spread because the new believers needed to be encouraged to “get into the scriptures”!

Luke 18:25
How can a camel go through the “eye of a needle”? Because Jesus said that it was easier for a camel to go through a needle’s eye than for a rich man to get saved!
The people who heard Jesus were confused… ”And they that heard it said, Who then can be saved?” But then Jesus said… “The things which are impossible with men are possible with God.” Luke 18:26-27
So, it’s like this picture… right? Or is it?
