25 Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Church is not an activity you can do sitting at home watching a service on the TV or computer screen. We must meet together.Continue reading “22Nov 2010 Heb 10:25”

21Nov 2010 Heb 10:24
24 And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds. Part of our jobs as Believers is to help each other. I have a chiminea on my back deck. We use it primarily to burn the junk mail with our names on it. One thing I haveContinue reading “21Nov 2010 Heb 10:24”
27Nov 2010 Heb 11:13
13 All these people were still living by faith when they died. They did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance. And they admitted that they were aliens and strangers on earth. Having faith does not guarantee that you get what you want. In fact, until ourContinue reading “27Nov 2010 Heb 11:13”
20Nov 2010 Heb 10:23
23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. We are encouraged to be like Christ. He is faithful, so we are called to be faithful like Him. It can be very hard to not swerve in our faith. As I travel to and from work each dayContinue reading “20Nov 2010 Heb 10:23”
19Nov 2010 Heb 9:27-28
27 Just as man is destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, 28 so Christ was sacrificed once to take away the sins of many people; and he will appear a second time, not to bear sin, but to bring salvation to those who are waiting for him. There are two hardContinue reading “19Nov 2010 Heb 9:27-28”
18Nov 2010 Heb 9:24
24 For Christ did not enter a man-made sanctuary that was only a copy of the true one; he entered heaven itself, now to appear for us in God’s presence. Jesus place is now in heaven. His sacrifice makes it possible for us to be in the presence of God without fear of punishment orContinue reading “18Nov 2010 Heb 9:24”
17Nov 2010 Heb 9:22
22 In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness. Have you ever gone to a store to purchase something and realize that you left the discount coupon sitting at home? Isn’t that frustrating! If you had just brought the coupon youContinue reading “17Nov 2010 Heb 9:22”
16Nov 2010 Matt 26:41
41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” Weak flesh! I don’t know about you, but I know my flesh is. Jesus’ disciples are not the only ones who fall asleep when we are supposed to be paying attention. Or am IContinue reading “16Nov 2010 Matt 26:41”
15Nov 2010 Matt 26:39
39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Jesus is in the struggle of His life. He is in the Garden of Gethsemane praying. He seesContinue reading “15Nov 2010 Matt 26:39”
14Nov 2010 Matt 26:38
38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” Have you ever felt this way? There are a couple of times in my life when I felt this kind of sorrow. This is not a sorrow where there is aContinue reading “14Nov 2010 Matt 26:38”
