Jesus Came for People, not Religious Institutions
Scripture Reference: Matthew 12:1-14 One of the things the church leaders couldn’t stand about Jesus was how He ignored their church rules. These rules were man-made and not from God.

Life Lessons from Place Names in Isaiah
Scripture Reference: Isaiah 15:1-4 I’ve learnt a couple of things about studying the Bible. For one, nothing in the Bible is insignificant.

When “I will” replaces “Thy will”
Suggested Reading: Isaiah 14:12-23 Nowadays, believers in God are often mocked as being weaklings who need a crutch. They are told that they should learn to take control of things and be in charge of their lives; write their own destiny instead of waiting the hear what the will of an “imaginary Being” is. These [...]
Promises for Those who Fear the Lord

Who then is the one who fears God? It is someone who, despite all his weaknesses, has a sincere desire to [...]
When we Judge Others we Condemn Ourselves
Suggested Reading: Matthew 7:1-5 Don’t judge others, unless of course, you don’t mind receiving the same treatment. With the measure we judge others, we too will be judged.
