If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking. But when you ask him, be sure that your faith is in God alone. Do not waver, for a person with divided loyalty is as unsettled as a wave of the sea that is blown and tossed by the wind. Such people should not expect to receive anything from the Lord. Their loyalty is divided between God and the world, and they are unstable in everything they do. —James 1:5-8 Who or what is your first most loyalty? If you are wavering from God being your first loyalty,…

Don’t love money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, “I will never fail you. I will never abandon you.” So we can say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper, so I will have no fear. What can mere people do to me?”c —Hebrews 13:5-6 Just remember that money is neutral. It is the LOVE of money that is evil. This is when money becomes more important than God. http://www.gotquestions.org/love-money-root-evil.html We are to love the Lord as first priority and people as the second priority. These are two commands that we are given. The first, to love God, is the greatest command and the second is…

When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise: “Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also.” This means that all of creation will be shaken and removed, so that only unshakable things will remain. Since we are receiving a Kingdom that is unshakable, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a devouring fire. —Hebrew 12:26-29 In Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King there is a scene that depicts the kingdom that will not be shaken. The ground gives way and swallows…

“It was by faith…” —Hebrews 11:4 As we read Hebrews chapter 11 we read of experiences people had because of faith which “is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see” (Hebrews 11:1). When I read this chapter I wonder what would be written of me if I was in this chapter. By faith Ted… Or fill in your name. By faith (your name)… What would the Lord have written about you? Your life and mine will soon be over? What will be said? https://www.facebook.com/HollywoodShawtyz/videos/977152292322788/

Faith is the confidence that what we hope for will actually happen; it gives us assurance about things we cannot see… And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God exists and that he rewards those who sincerely seek him. —Hebrews 11:1, 6 Faith… so many people want to believe or at least they express that faith is blind. Well this is absolutely false. People put faith into practice every day. For example, those who fly on a plane put their faith in many things and the biggest one is that the plane is going to get them to…

For God’s will was for us to be made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ, once for all time… our High Priest offered himself to God as a single sacrifice for sins, good for all time…. For by that one offering he forever made perfect those who are being made holy… Then he says, “I will never again remember their sins and lawless deeds.” And when sins have been forgiven, there is no need to offer any more sacrifices. —Hebrews 10:10, 12, 14, 17-18 All who call on the Name of the Lord Jesus: · Are made holy by the sacrifice of the body of Jesus,…

And just as each person is destined to die once and after that comes judgment… —Hebrews 9:27 People have all kinds of ideas about what happens after we die, but where do they get their information? http://thoughtcatalog.com/stephanie-casella/2015/08/20-people-on-what-they-think-happens-after-they-die/ They are just repeating something they have learned along the way. We better be sure about what happens after death because after we die there is no coming back to change our mind. Is the source we are depending on for our information reliable? According to the verse above we are going to die one time and then judgment will follow. This is serious business and not a game. Are you ready to…

He is the kind of high priest we need because he is holy and blameless, unstained by sin. He has been set apart from sinners and has been given the highest place of honor in heaven. Unlike those other high priests, he does not need to offer sacrifices every day. They did this for their own sins first and then for the sins of the people. But Jesus did this once for all when he offered himself as the sacrifice for the people’s sins. The law appointed high priests who were limited by human weakness. But after the law was given, God appointed his Son with an oath, and his…

We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure. It enters the inner sanctuary behind the curtain, where our forerunner, Jesus, has entered on our behalf. He has become a high priest forever, in the order of Melchizedek. —Hebrews 6:19-20 Ships in a storm near shore need to be firmly anchored or they will be destroyed on the rocks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RDHWJowlTQ So too do we need “an anchor for the soul, firm and secure” so we will not be destroyed in hell one day. There is only one “Anchor” and that is Jesus who has entered the inner sanctuary behind the curtain on our behalf. He is…

There is much more we would like to say about this, but it is difficult to explain, especially since you are spiritually dull and don’t seem to listen. You have been believers so long now that you ought to be teaching others. Instead, you need someone to teach you again the basic things about God’s word. You are like babies who need milk and cannot eat solid food. For someone who lives on milk is still an infant and doesn’t know how to do what is right. Solid food is for those who are mature, who through training have the skill to recognize the difference between right and wrong. —Hebrews…
