Our Scripture Of The Week Is: Romans 5:1 KJVS [1] Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: Romans 5 begins a new section of Paul's letter to the Christians in Rome. He has finished his argument, in chapters 1—4, that nobody can be made right with God by following the works of the law of Moses. This "justification" is impossible by works, because nob...

Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened. The water came from above and from below. As well, it is believed by some Scientists, and rightly so, that the waters came with such force from the Earth, that it would have taken only a...

Our Scripture Of The Week Is: 2 Peter 1:3 KJVS [3] According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: Some Christians struggle with sin, spiritual weakness, and apathy. Are such people missing something? Have they been left unequipped by God? What have we not been given in order to...

Genesis 6:17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth, to destroy all flesh, wherein is the breath of life, from under heaven; and every thing that is in the earth shall die. Having provided instructions for the ark, God now identifies its purpose: the judgment He has decreed will take the form of a devastating flood. The scale of the destruction parallels the scale of the...

Our Scripture Of The Week Is: Proverbs 10:17 KJVS [17] He is in the way of life that keepeth instruction: but he that refuseth reproof erreth. The person who listens to godly advice (Proverbs 9:9) gives themselves a better likelihood of success and longevity than those who ignore wisdom. Those who follow Christ's teachings can enjoy a truly meaningful life now (John 10:10) and eternal life beyond...

Genesis 6:14 Make thee an ark of gopher wood; rooms shalt thou make in the ark, and shalt pitch it within and without with pitch. Having warned Noah of the impending flood, God now tells him how to survive it. Notably, God’s instructions require Noah to demonstrate faith. While God could miraculously protect Noah and his household inside a magic underwater bubble, He instead requires Noah to creat...

Our Scripture Of The Week Is: Romans 8:1-2 KJVS [1] There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. [2] For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. Romans 8 is one of the most powerful and popular chapters in all the Bible. In it, Paul describes with great detail wha...

Genesis 6:8 But Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD. And why did Noah find grace? Lest one believe that Noah was spared because of his good works alone, God makes it clear that Noah was a man who believed in God as Creator, Sovereign, and the only Savior from sin. He found grace for himself, because he humbled himself and sought it, he was obedient, as well. Genesis 6:9 These are the generati...

"Man Of God" is the description given to a man who follows God in every way, who obeys His Commands with joy, who does not live for the things of this life but for the things of Eternity. Who willingly serves GOD and gives freely from all his resources, yet gladly suffers a consequence of his faith. All right get those phone lines buzzing by the mighty dozens and let us know what you think of toda...

When it comes to men, there is very little information directing men on how to really become a man. Besides GOD, who does a man talk to for positive direction? What do you feel is the most pressure that a man faces? What do you feel discourages a man the most? All right get those phone lines buzzing by the mighty dozens and let us know what you think of today's episode. 📱(704) 471-8526 To GOD Goe...

Genesis 6:1 And it came to pass, when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born unto them, Such long lifespans as indicated in the record of chapter 5 caused a massive increase in earth’s population. This matter of “the sons of God” and “the daughters of men” is something that has caused no end of discussion. There are a great many of good men who take the position th...

Our Scripture Of The Week Is: Psalm 1:2 KJVS [2] But his delight is in the law of the Lord ; and in his law doth he meditate day and night. This verse continues to describe the blessed man. Whereas verse 1 takes a negative tone (Psalm 1:1), this strikes a positive tone. Verse 1 describes what the blessed man does not do, verse 2 describes what he does. As in verse 1, the context here applies to al...

Genesis 5:27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. Methuselah lived longer than anyone has ever lived, 969 years; he apparently died just before Noah’s flood; despite his Godly father, there is no record that he lived for God. Methuselah lived longer than Adam. These two men, Adam and Methuselah, pretty well bridged the gap between creation and the Flo...

Our Scripture Of The Week Is: Hebrews 11:1 KJVS [1] Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. This often-quoted verse gives a direct definition of faith, meant to be read in the context of the rest of this letter. At the end of chapter 10, the writer of Hebrews finished describing why the new covenant in Jesus Christ was superior to the old covenant of animal...

Genesis 5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: And then did Enoch die? No! He did not die. This is a dark chapter, but here is the bright spot in it. Apparently, Enoch was 65 years of age when he was converted and entered into this Divine fellowship. The name “Methuselah” means: “The Deluge (the flood) shall be sent when he is dead” So, Methuselah was a living, walking te...

Our Scripture Of The Week Is: Galatians 5:25 KJVS [25] If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Paul has been describing what it looks like to live as one who is free in Christ. He has been clear that this is not a freedom to do whatever feels good. It is not a freedom to simply indulge in trying to satisfy all our sinful desires. On the contrary, true salvation—and freedom from t...

Genesis 5:1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; Corresponds with the phrase, “The Book of the Generation of Jesus Christ,” Who was the Last Adam [Mat. 1:1]. The “Likeness of God” is the “Glory of God” [II Cor. 4:6]. Through the Fall, man lost that glory; however, at the First Resurrection of Life, every Believer will reg...

Our Scripture Of The Week Is: Psalm 53:3 KJVS [3] Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. In the prior verse, God was poetically said to be searching "to see if" anyone was fully willing to follow Him. Here, we're given an answer that precisely evaluates the human race. It says every human being has fallen away and become corru...

Genesis 4:25 And Adam knew his wife again; and she bare a son, and called his name Seth: For God, said she, hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew. After dealing with Cain’s line in the beginnings of corruption of violence, Moses goes back some years to the birth of “Seth;” the Holy Spirit will single out “Seth,” because he was in the lineage of Christ; the name “Seth” mean...

Our Scripture Of The Week Is: Titus 1:1 KJV [1] Paul, a servant of God, and an apostle of Jesus Christ, according to the faith of God's elect, and the acknowledging of the truth which is after godliness; Titus begins here with a standard letter-writing format, which included the sender, recipient, and a greeting. The sender is Paul, a former persecutor of Christians, who was formerly known as Saul...

Genesis 4:16 And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden. Those in rebellion against God do not at all desire His Presence, and for all the obvious reasons. “Nod” means “wandering;” the majority of the human race “wander,” because they don’t know God and, therefore, have no peace. I know a lot of folk who dwell in “the land of nod” when they a...

Our Scripture Of The Week Is: James 3:5-6 KJV [5] Even so the tongue is a little member, and boasteth great things. Behold, how great a matter a little fire kindleth! [6] And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell. James continues to draw comparisons betw...

When we think of Murder, we normally think of physically harming someone. However, we can murder someone's character by the things that we say about them. When we talk about people to others we are putting information out in the atmosphere that other people judge. Sometimes, things that we say can severely murder a person's character to a point that there is no return. So we should definitely watc...

Why is Cain angry? He is angry enough that he is going to slay his brother. Back of premeditated murder there always is anger. Our Lord said that, if you are angry with your brother without a cause, you are guilty of murder. Back of anger is jealousy, and back of jealousy is pride. There is no sense of sin whatsoever in spiritual pride. James put it in language like this: “Then when lust hath conc...
