    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Mar 1, 2025
     | 372 views

    We shall not want any good thing God tells us but what does it mean? Are we looking at material or spiritual or both? Not in want of any good thing! We open up “seeking the Lord,” and “the fear of the Lord.” Never be irreverent or casual in the Lord’s presence as some do. It is disrespectful.

    PSALM 34:9-11 - PART 4 - A DEEPER STUDY OF VERSES 9-11 – WHAT DOES IT MEAN NOT TO BE IN WANT OF ANY GOOD THING? [1]. THE INTRODUCTION FOR PSALM 34 REVISED VERSES 1 – 7.

Most Americans, including profession Christians, believe that people are inherently good and that there primary purpose is to enjoy life as much as possible. a). 38% believe that ...read more

    He used three earthly materials: Salt, Light and City, to explain spiritual truth by giving a clear distinction between the disciple and the world with regards to his position and mission (Mat 5:13-16).

    THE DISCIPLE AS THE SALT "Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savor, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under, foot of men.

It seems that she had started out across the desert thinking she had enough water to make the trip; However when she stopped to get a swallow she found out that her canteen was ...read more
