But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today… Hebrews 3:13 I believe that the Body of Christ – the church, should be the most encouraging people anywhere. Scripture says this in Hebrews 3:13, to encourage one another daily, as long as it is called Today. I’m where I am today because someone encouraged me to keep on going!…
And David was greatly distressed; for the people spoke of stoning him…but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God. 1 Samuel 30:6 Have you ever been distressed? Overwhelmed? Overcome? I can imagine that some of you are going through a season of rough seas even now. In those times it is hard to focus on much of anything…
But Peter and John answered them, “Whether it is right in the sight of God to listen to you rather than to God, you must judge, for we cannot but speak of what we have seen and heard.” Acts 4:19-20 What’s one of the most profound things that someone has ever said to you? How did their words and their passion impact…
Today is 6-28. I spent most of my childhood at 628 Catherine Street in Forest Park. It made me think of my friends and neighbors and the times we spent as young people. I had a wonderful childhood and learned a lot about life – what to do and what not to do (sometimes at a very painful cost to my backside).…
My knowledge of Scripture is nowhere near exhaustive. In fact, the more I read and study, the more I realize that I need to read and study. How about you? How is your Bible reading/study going? Do you have a study Bible? By that, I mean do you have a Bible that you can mark…
We’re still in the section of Romans where Paul is convicting three different groups of their sin and their need for God. This week we looked at the religious group. The group that goes to church and outwardly does all the “right things.” However, Paul gets on to this group – specifically the Jews when he says, you then who teach others,…
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws. Ezekiel 36:26-27 We are in a series on Paul’s letter…
This has been a busy week for me and I have fallen behind on sending out a daily blog. We have begun a series on the letter to the Romans. Many Christians believe Romans to be the finest book of the Bible. I found this by J.I. Packer, which echoes many pastors and theologians. I thought that I would share his insights…
Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. Psalm 119:105 Have you ever stopped to consider how you read the Bible? For many, we know we should read the Bible but it is a large tome full of 66 books. I think many start on a reading plan and then get behind and then eventually give…
It’s no secret that I spend time listening to other preachers and reading their blogs. I do this for my own spiritual growth but to also see what is happening in ministry in other churches. When we began Three Point, it was with a desire and vision to dig deeper into God’s Word (the Bible), to spend time in His presence (prayer),…
