CHRISTIAN STARSPhilippians 2:12-30 Do everything without grumbling or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, “children of God without fault in a warped and crooked generation.” Then you will shine among them like stars in the sky as you hold firmly to the word of life. The world around us is obsessed with …

UNITY IN THE CHURCHPhilippians 2:1-11 “Therefore if you have any encouragement from being united with Christ, if any comfort from his love, if any common sharing in the Spirit, if any tenderness and compassion, then make my joy complete by being like-minded, having the same love, being one in spirit and of one mind.” It …

THE PITFALLS1 John 2:12-29 “Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them. For everything in the world—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—comes not from the Father but from the world.” Having …

(I woke up this morning and for some reason Elijah was on my mind. This was the result.) It is very interesting that the name of Elijah was raised in the prophecies leading up to the birth of Jesus. Zechariah was told by an angel that his wife will bear him a son and he …

FELLOWSHIP1 John 1:1 – 2:2 “But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.” “Fellowship” is the word used to translate “koinonia”. Joseph Henry Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament defines it …

Yesterday in church we discussed the letter to Philadelphia in Revelation and there the same phrase was used as in the letter to Sardis: “I know your deeds”. I had pointed out in a previous discussion that there was no elaboration, no further details. The sense of the assertion is that nothing more needs to …

The God of JacobGenesis 27-28 “I am the Lord, the God of your father Abraham and the God of Isaac.” It is very instructive to note that God never (well, I have not done a thorough research but based on what I remember having gone through Genesis last year) complained about the shortcomings of Abraham …

Luke 9:21-27 I had a session yesterday discussing this passage (2022 Week 34). It was revealing, as I needed to clarify my view that as Jesus told his disciples about the realities of his mission and the path he must walk (v22), he then went on to say that whoever wants to be his disciple …
