Proverbs 8:14 "[14]Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength." Revelation and Understanding is given. We can't understand Scripture with our natural minds The Holy Spirit Who is Understanding, "teaches us all things."

A group of retired friends met every Saturday morning at a Salt Lake City deli, but they grew tired of the same conversation each week. Sure, they were solving the world’s problems, but they wanted to share their wisdom beyond their own group. So, as a lark, six years ago (2018), they set up a card ...read more

Contributed by Scott Maze on Jul 21, 2025

John doesn’t blink when he says the ultimate reason the Jewish people don’t believe is because of God. What you are seeing in Jesus’ ministry is the same that Isaiah saw in his ministry. God has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts.

The first two things Jesus’ disciples say about him in the Gospel of John are “We have found the Messiah” (John 1:41). And, “We have found him of whom Moses in the Law and also the prophets wrote, ...read more
