6 So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me?” When we know that the Lord will never leave or forsake us, we can have confidence. We will never be alone. And out of that secure position we can face today’s challenges. IContinue reading “3Dec 2010 Heb 13:6”

5 Keep your lives free from the love of money and be content with what you have, because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.”  Capitalism is the exact opposite of this verse. Capitalism says that in order to feel good about yourself, you must have the newestContinue reading “2Dec 2010 Heb 13:5”

4 Marriage should be honored by all, and the marriage bed kept pure, for God will judge the adulterer and all the sexually immoral.  Sometimes we think that our modern times have invented some new areas of temptation, some new areas of sin. Perhaps, but most of us get caught up in some veryContinue reading “1Dec 2010 Heb 13:4”

16 See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son We read about Esau and wonder how he could be so shortsighted. He is hungry and gives up all his inheritance rights for a meal. And yet people doContinue reading “29Nov 2010 Heb 12:16”

We are reshapers,Continue reading “24Nov 2010 Heb 11:3”

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”

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”

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.
