Application of God's Word

In Matthew 3 , John was preaching and baptizing people in the wilderness telling them to "Repent for the kingdom of heaven is at Hand" - Matthew 3:2 . All the people of Judea and the regions around Jordan were baptized and they confessed their sins Matthew 3: 5-6 . When the Pharisees and Sadducees came to John's baptism, he said,  “Brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come? 8 Therefore

Matthew 2 describes what happened after Jesus' birth in Bethlehem and how the wise men were on a search for Jesus, The King of the Jews. They went to Herod the king, thinking that a king should be born in a palace but however he was not there. Herod and all of Jerusalem were

Matthew Chapter 1 it begins with the genealogy of Jesus Christ. This is the verse that caught my attention.                    5 Salmon begot Boaz by Rahab, Boaz begot Obed by Ruth, Obed begot Jesse Did I just read Rahab? Is Rahab in the genealogy of Jesus Christ?  Rahab was the prostitute who helped Joshua's spies when they came to Jericho. She helped them from being caught and they stayed there with her. This same prostitute later married one of the spies, Salmon, and had a son, Boaz who married Ruth and they had Obed who had

Reading God's word is enjoyable. In this life we need to keep our focus on God. It is His words that we need to encourage, motivate and to keep us going. God's word is a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. We need His word to guide and direct us and when we keep our focus on Him and His words, we can't go wrong. Sometimes we get so frustrated, depressed, agitated by things and situations in this life but all of the things that we struggle with will pass away but God's word will still stand! The daily struggles that we go through each day are not more important than God's word and it's through His word that we know how to deal with issues that we face on a daily basis. Let's strive to learn more of God's word and strive to meditate of his word as they are the Words of Life. I encourage you to subscribe to the latest posts and commentaries of the scriptures and to send your comments and any questions you may have. We look forward to hearing fro...

Jesus said these words to the Pharisees who wanted him to rebuke his disciples for praising God. Jesus' reply was pretty simple If they don't do it, the stones will! Jesus knew that He was so worthy of praise, the works of His Father in heaven were so worthy of praise that praise was mandatory, regardless of the source! The Lord God is worthy of our praise! The disciples were praising God joyfully and in loud voices for all the miracles they had seen Jesus perform. They said, "Blessed is the king

Psalm 150:6 says, " Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!" This verse is such a powerful reminder of the universal call to worship God. It doesn’t set limits or qualifications—if you are living and breathing, you’re invited to praise! Think about that for a moment. No matter your situation, whether life is smooth or you're navigating challenges, this verse tells us we are created to worship. It’s not about how talented we are or whether we feel “worthy.” It’s about acknowledging the One who gave us life and breath in the first place. Throughout the Psalms, David often praises God in all circumstances. In Psalm 34:1, he declares, “I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.” That’s the attitude we’re called to have. Praising God isn’t just for Sunday mornings—it’s a daily response to His goodness and faithfulness. So, take a moment today. Whether you’re singing, praying, or just reflecting silently, let your...

Trust may be a simple word but by no means is it an easy fiat. Trusting someone takes time and sometimes even after knowing someone for ages, they can still violate your trust.  Has anyone ever told you "Trust me," and then didn't prove themselves to be trustworthy? How about someone you trusted, totally violated your trust and left you with a broken heart? How about learning to eventually learning to trust someone only to find out everything they told you was a lie and everything you thought was the truth was a lie? Those are all difficult situations to be in. Sadly, there isn't a foolproof way to prevent this from happening. People are people at the end of the day and they will make mistakes. I think the best thing to do is to give people grace first and then go from there.  Reflect on your own actions. Have you ever been untrustworthy? Have you ever
