1 John 2:7-11

Beloved, I am writing you   no new commandment, but   an old commandment   that you had from the beginning. The old commandment is the word that you have heard.    At the same time, it is   a new commandment that I am writing to you, which is true in him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and   the true light is already shining.    Whoever says he is in the light and   hates his brother is still in darkness.    Whoever loves his brother abides in the light, and in him there is no   cause for stumbling.    But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and   walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. John is giving us a commandment that is old but with a new twist.  The command to love is certainly an old command as it had already been made very clear throughout the Old Testament.  However, the revelation of Jesus ...

Isaiah 54:1-17

Hope is a wonderful blessing from God, without which we would be vulnerable to all kinds of destructive tendencies in our lives.  Today’s society is marked by depression, anger, fear, anxiety and self-righteousness, in large part, because of the sense of hopelessness that prevails in our culture.  Isaiah writes to a people who are about to be taken into captivity because of their sin.  God knows that they will feel rejected, threatened and hopeless so He reveals His future plans for the nation in order to give them hope in the midst of the coming trial.  Hope is the expectation of good based upon the promises of God.  Many times when our lives are marked by the sins mentioned above it is because we have forgotten or failed to focus upon the promises of God’s Word. THE PROMISE OF GOD: From the very first day that God revealed His plan for the nation of Israel, He promised numerous descendants.  God chose Abraham, not because he was more righteous than a...

James 3:5-12

How great a forest is set ablaze by such a small fire!     And the tongue is a fire, a world of unrighteousness. The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life, and set on fire by hell.     For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and sea creature, can be tamed and has been tamed by mankind, but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.     With it we bless our Lord and Father, and with it we curse people who are made in the likeness of God.     From the same mouth come blessing and cursing. My brothers, these things ought not to be so.     Does a spring pour forth from the same opening both fresh and salt water?     Can a fig tree, my brothers, bear olives, or a grapevine produce figs? Neither can a salt pond yield fresh water. Medications come with warning labels about negative side effects they might cause...
