Mark 2:28 (Jesus said) “Consequently, the Son of Man is Lord even of the Sabbath.” Jesus is the Lord, the Creator, and institutor of the Sabbath—a day of rest. We are to observe this weekly rest to revere and worship God. He instituted it clear back in Exodus 16:23 with Moses. God didn’t create us to serve the Sabbath. We were created to serve Him. In fact, He made humans the day before He took a day of Sabbath rest….
Fondue Here’s a fake version of fondue that is cheaper and fewer calories. It’s still full of dairy, fat and bread; but it is reduced slightly, so takes away some of the guilt. It’s a pretty awesome alternative to the real thing and also stays molten off the heat, so there is no need to purchase a special pot. The other great thing is that if you don’t manage to eat it all then it will make a mean mac…
Isaiah 53:12 Therefore, I will allot Him a portion with the great, and He will divide the booty with the strong; because He poured out Himself to death, and was numbered with the transgressors; yet He Himself bore the sin of many, and interceded for the transgressors. The book of Isaiah is rich with prophecies about the coming Messiah written over 600 years before Jesus’ birth. Here God promises to divide the spoils of war with many because Jesus poured…

III John 1:2 Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul prospers. Sometimes we get the cart before the horse. We seek fame and fortune while we neglect our soul. We fail to cultivate a relationship with our Creator. Then when we find our life unraveling at the seams, we wonder why. If we examine this scripture closely we see a directive of right order. John prays we will…
Ephesians 4:22-23 . . . that in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, When we become new creatures in Christ, we still have a choice to sin. Satan drops tempting thoughts in our minds. When we entertain those thoughts, they become sin. Old habits die hard. The old patterns of action…
Isaiah 59:21 “And as for Me, this is my covenant with them,” says the Lord; “My Spirit which is upon you, and My words which I have put in your mouth, shall not depart from your mouth, nor from the mouth of your offspring, nor from the mouth of your offspring’s offspring,” says the Lord, “from now and forever.” Even in Isaiah’s time long before Christ, God promised His Holy Spirit and His word to those who would receive and…
