Used as an invitation to individual unbelievers as a call to accept Jesus, this is another verse that is often misused in the church today. It is is a call to churches everywhere to not be like the church at Laodicea. Jesus says he is calling (knocking at the door) the problem is there are to … More A Warning to the Church
In my opinion this should be a verse every new believer learns early on because it is packed with reassurance that we can live the “Christian” life no matter how hard it gets. The Apostle Peter in under Divine inspiration begins this letter by reminding the church, 2 Peter 1:1, “Simeon[a] Peter, a servant[b] and apostle … More God’s Tool Box
Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has been born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves whoever has been born of him.2 By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and obey his commandments. 3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments.

If you are my age you will remember the Beatles and their album, Yellow Submarine. On it was the song “With a Little Help From my Friends”.

I am being told by folks things like ‘if Jesus were here he certainly would not support…’ Seriously, do these people really think they know the mind of … More I Never Knew You

Image Source It is good to remember the context of where this verse fits into the writing of Paul, in his Epistle to the Corinthians.
