Deserved?
Genesis 26:12 Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the LORD blessed him. One of the common ways to think about life is this: if you do some good stuff, good stuff will come your direction. It is almost like a math equation. Good stuff in, good stuffContinue reading “Deserved?”
2 Samuel 1:14 Anointed One
2 Samuel 1:14 David asked him, “Why weren’t you afraid to lift your hand to destroy the LORD’s anointed?” Do you remember looking at the Highlights magazines in the waiting room of a doctor or dentist? I do! It was the highlight of the visits. I loved the pages that had the picture with theContinue reading “2 Samuel 1:14 Anointed One”
Revelation 22:1-3 Life
Revelation 22:1-3 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb 2 down the middle of the great street of the city.

Revelation 16:1 Mercy
Revelation 16:1 Then I heard a loud voice from the temple saying to the seven angels, “Go, pour out the seven bowls of God’s wrath on the earth.” One of the struggles that some people have in believing in Jesus are the passages that speak about God’s wrath. “How can a loving God do suchContinue reading “Revelation 16:1 Mercy”

Matthew 9:`2-13 On hearing this Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. 13 But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mercy can be a very difficult thing to hand out. When greatContinue reading “Matthew 9:12-13 – Mercy!”
Fire – Revelation 20:15
Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. I remember watching my brothers getting in trouble. They were older than I was, and therefore got in trouble more than I did. But watching them taught me a lesson. If you don’t wantContinue reading “Fire – Revelation 20:15”
Capricious? – Revelation 9:20
Revelation 9:20 The rest of mankind who were not killed by these plagues still did not repent of the work of their hands; they did not stop worshiping demons, and idols of gold, silver, bronze, stone and wood — idols that cannot see or hear or walk. One of the charges that is often thrownContinue reading “Capricious? – Revelation 9:20”
Mercy! – James 2:12-13
James 2:12-13 Speak and act as those who are going to be judged by the law that gives freedom, 13 because judgment without mercy will be shown to anyone who has not been merciful. Mercy triumphs over judgment. There is so much finger pointing and blame shifting that fills the news cycle these days. SoContinue reading “Mercy! – James 2:12-13”
Mystery Solved – Colossians 1:27
Colossians 1:27 To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. I like good mystery stories, especially when they are portrayed in movies or TV shows. They can be classics like Agatha Christy or crime how-done-it like NCIS.Continue reading “Mystery Solved – Colossians 1:27”
