    based on 2 ratings
     | 1,505 views

    Many of us were afraid of the dark as children. Should we be afraid of the dark as adults too? Light is good. Light is knowledge. Light is the protection of our Lord.

     | 2,451 views

    All through the bible the Angel of the Lord appeared to God’s chosen ones to strengthen them and encourage them with His divine presence. No matter what we are going through God’s presence is more than enough to handle all of it to come forth victorious.

    Jesus is stripping the Jews naked of their self-righteousness and hypocrisy related to their worship. Jesus uses a Greek word that describes them as a stage actor when it comes to their worship, and he does the same for the way they pray

    Finger pointing, the act of pointing out others faults or to place blame on someone else. This is nothing new to our society, and started out in the Garden of Eden, where Eve blamed the snake for tricking her, then Adam blamed God for giving her the woman who caused him to disobey God.

    Paul wants his people to know that salvation is not dependent on any work.

    4:9 “Does this blessedness then come upon the circumcised only, or upon the uncircumcised?” Is God’s blessedness, or happiness, which David just described, for only Jews, or can Gentiles get in on this? He doesn’t use those two terms though. He is making a point. Is a man made right and happy ...read more
