There were two kinds of shields in Roman armies. One was small and easily carried and used in hand-to-hand battle. The other was much larger, perhaps even four feet tall, that would allow a line of soldiers to mount an offense against an enemy behind a wall of protection. The word Paul used to describe the shield of faith was that larger shield. When most people think about faith, they think about...

Our text says that God stands at the door and knocks. From this, it is clear that God wants to bless us, but many have never allowed Him to do all of which He is capable. God will never force His way in; we must let Him in. When God made man, He created something at a whole different level than the other animals. The scripture indicates a well-thought-out, purposeful plan. The other animals of cre...

On this mother’s day, Brother Hughes goes to the book of proverbs. In our text, Solomon describes the incredible power that women have. This power can build or tear down. Building implies many things: Dreaming, planning, work, and time. Building is intentional, and it does not happen without a purpose. When building, you start with a solid foundation. The wise woman builds her house on the word of...

In closing his letter to the church at Corinth, Paul offers five pieces of advice. The first four are about protecting themselves from external threats. But the final point describes the environment in which the church should exist. It speaks to a family relationship with each other. He uses two words in exclamation about those who do not love each other in this way: Anathema and Maranatha. Anathe...

The 145th Psalm is known as David’s song of praise. It is the only one with that unique designation. It is known as an acrostic psalm, a way of writing that takes the letter of each Hebrew alphabet to form a verse. In each verse, David speaks praise to God. He connects all aspects of life and ties it back to God. All 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet appear in this song except NUN. There are vario...

It is human nature to hide from danger. Our text talks about taking shelter under God's wings. God protects us from danger. In Genesis, Adam and Eve tried to hide from God because they had sinned. They tried to hide in bushes and covered with leaves, but that coverage was insufficient. We try to hide from God, but that is not possible. Instead of trying to hide from Him, but to hide in Him? When w...

From the first century church until now, generations of people have predicted the return of Jesus. Many have observed the events of their day and saw the end-time predictions from Revalation played out in the day’s headlines. Some have even predicted the end by analyzing the “facts.” The bible is plain that no man knows the day or time and urges believers to stay vigilant and “live read.” After al...

Patterns are part of nature. We can look for patterns all around us. The book of Titus is full of instructions on how to live life. He speaks to young and old alike with valuable advice. To the senior men, he says to be sober, serious, and healthy. To the senior women, he admonished them not to be given to gossip and to be sober-minded and to teach the young women how to love their husbands and ch...
