Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.” Peacemakers are few and far between these days. Never in my lifetime have I seen such hatred. If we disagree with someone, we are quick to send them to hell. Barnabas set a much-needed tone in the early church.…
Hebrews 11:31: “By faith the harlot Rahab did not perish with those who did not believe, when she had received the spies with peace.” Almost every time the Bible mentions Rahab, it calls her a harlot. Her past life is forever linked with who she became. I found myself in the wee hours of…
2 Kings 6:15-17, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray, open his eyes that he may see. Then the Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire.”…

1 Corinthians 10:31: “Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” You’ve probably heard someone say, “Whatever you do…” Most of the time, those words are used as a warning or a plea. When we were kids, if we did something we knew we weren’t supposed…
Jeremiah 20:9, “Then I said, I will not make mention of Him, nor speak anymore in His name. But His word was in my heart like a burning fire, shut up in my bones; I was weary of holding it back, and I could not.” I have studied the lives of some of the great missionaries…
Romans 3:23-24: “All have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God, being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus…” When applicants for a preacher’s license come before the North Georgia Ministerial Examining Committee, we always ask them to define “justification.” Most are better able to define “sanctification.”…
