“Now these be the last words of David.” 2 Samuel 23:1 David the son of Jesse said: "…and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel." (2 Sa 23:1) When we consider the Saints in the Old Testament, David, King of Israel
“Have mercy upon me, O God.” Psalm 51:1 The cry of the sinner is simple, “Have mercy upon me, O God.” David King of Israel had been confronted by God about his sin with Bathsheba and Uriah. The word of God, from the mouth of the prophet Nathan, forced David to admit to God his sin. When Nathan said, “Thou
"“All the days of his separation shall he eat nothing that is made of the vine tree, from the kernels even to the husk.” Numbers 6:4 The vow of the Nazarite was a vow of separation. Separated from the world for the purpose of God. Not many would take this vow. Sad enough, many who did lived a life

Religion is a powerful motivator. Religion can motivate a child to become a monster who will strap on explosives and become a mass-murderer. Religion will devalue certain people groups based on ethnicity or for not holding the same religious views that are taught by their religious dogma.

Set Free! God is in the liberating business. We find in the scripture these words, “…ye have been called unto liberty.” (Gal 5:13) We have not been set free only to be in bondage to sin or to a system of belief. When the nation of Israel was repatriated to Zion, the Psalmist declared: “The Lord hath
Are You a Liar? Is it possible for a follower of Jesus to sin? God’s word declares this is not only possible but it is an absolute fact the gospel-born-again do indeed sin: “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we say that we have not sinned,
“In him was life, and the life was the light of men.” (John 1:4) Willful Ignorance The folk wisdom adage “There are none so blind as those who will not see” has been around for centuries in different forms. Jonathan Swift, born in the 18th Century, was best known for his satirical works and is the person most often given credit
