Hebrews 12:7 Endure hardship as discipline; God is treating you as his children. For what children are not disciplined by their father? The way we view an event makes a big difference in how we deal with it. We have seen multiple events in the last couple of years that are seen very differently byContinue reading “Perspective – Hebrews 12:7”

Commended – Hebrews 11:39-40
Hebrews 11:39-40 These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised, 40 since God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. The way God works in the world is sometimes at odds with how we think. Especially inContinue reading “Commended – Hebrews 11:39-40”
Hope Professed – Hebrews 10:23
Hebrews 10:23 Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for he who promised is faithful. Our world is filled with questions. Mask, no mask. Vaccine, no vaccine. Government dictates, individual freedoms. Large corporations, small business. And I could go on. So many things are being questioned at this critical point in human history,Continue reading “Hope Professed – Hebrews 10:23”
Unblemished – Hebrews 9:14
Hebrews 9:14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! Have you ever had your conscience eat you up? You did something that you know was wrong,Continue reading “Unblemished – Hebrews 9:14”
Change – Hebrews 8:13
Hebrews 8:13 By calling this covenant “new,” he has made the first one obsolete; and what is obsolete and outdated will soon disappear. Predicting the death of almost anything is tricky. It can be the Hospice Doctor talking with a family, or a political commentator looking at a political movement, both are unpredictable at thisContinue reading “Change – Hebrews 8:13”
Obsolete – Hebrews 7:27
Hebrews 7:27 Unlike the other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then for the sins of the people. He sacrificed for their sins once for all when he offered himself. Nothing works forever! In fact, most things that we have are meant toContinue reading “Obsolete – Hebrews 7:27”
Growth – Hebrews 6:1-2
Hebrews 6:1-2 Therefore let us move beyond the elementary teachings about Christ and be taken forward to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from acts that lead to death, and faith in God, 2 instruction about cleansing rites, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. There areContinue reading “Growth – Hebrews 6:1-2”
Grow Up! – Hebrews 5:13-14
Hebrews 5:13-14 Anyone who lives on milk, being still and infant, is not acquainted with the teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. We have a responsibility to grow up. We mature physically as long as we get enoughContinue reading “Grow Up! – Hebrews 5:13-14”
Rest – Hebrews 4:11
Hebrews 4:11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so the no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. Work and rest don’t enter into a conversation too often at the same time. These two things are often viewed as mutually exclusive. You can’t rest when you are working. YouContinue reading “Rest – Hebrews 4:11”
Penalty Box – Hebrews 3:18
Hebrews 3:18 And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? I am glad there are standards. When I go to the hardware store looking for a particular nut or bolt, I am glad that the numbers mean the same thing, that 1/4” 20 meansContinue reading “Penalty Box – Hebrews 3:18”
