Jesus as the Good Shepherd
I started to write about Jesus as the Good Shepherd, but there is so much to say about Jesus the Good Shepherd, so I am going to try to write about Jesus the Good Shepherd who is the servant of the sheep. (John 10:14) “I am the good shepherd, and know my sheep, and am known […]
What Is Living By Faith?
As I studied chapters 10 and 11 of Hebrews, I came to realized that the whole chapter 11 of Hebrews is about faith, and also about living by faith.

Why We Should Want To Please God
(Hebrews 11:5-6) “By faith, Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.

(Romans 4:5) “But to him that does not work, but believeth on him […]
Reconciliation, Good News Against Bad News
(Romans 5:10) “For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” “In reconciliation, the sinner stands before God as an enemy and becomes a friend.” We have talked about justification: “In justification, the sinner stands before […]
