In Corinthians, Paul tells us that man “is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.” [1 Cor 11:7] Much like the gold of the temple would reflect the sunlight, or how the moon reflects the same, the man is to reflect the glory of God. In Lamentations, …

Abiding in The Calling
In Isaiah, in reference to the New Covenant – that covenant of which Jesus is mediator and Lord – God says, “Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.” [Isa 55:3] Again, in Jeremiah, He …
Willingly and Joyfully Hearing
One of the most precious truths about our “Great God and Savior Jesus Christ,” [Titus 2:13] is that His ears are open to us; as it is written, “His ears are open unto [the righteous man’s] cry.” [Psa 34:15] Praise be to our God, Jesus Christ, whose ears are open to us – to the …
Serving Without Fear
Through the New Covenant, that everlasting promise which God has made to us through His Son Jesus, it is promised to us, “that He would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve Him without fear.” [Lk 1:74] Through Jesus alone, for He is the only Savior, …
Bearing Sweet Fruit
For every man, whether young or old, rich or poor, free or bond, Jew or Greek – there is one, single source of satisfaction and life. That source is Jesus Christ, who says, “I am…the life.” [Jn 11:25] “In Him was life,” and He is “The Prince of Life.” [Acts 3:15] Jesus our Lord “is …
The Total Surrender of The Passover Lamb

Lenient and Reasonable
"Let your moderation be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand." [Phil 4:5] It is a great comfort to us that God is lenient, that God is gracious. To be gracious is to be “favorable; kind…benevolent…disposed to forgive offenses and impart unmerited blessings.” [Webster] Truly, God’s grace is one of His most desirable …
An Outpouring of Grace
Though in Catholicism, Mary is lifted up above normal men and women, nearly crossing over into divinity, the scriptures do not paint such a picture. The last recorded words of Jesus’ earthly mother in God’s word are, “whatsoever He saith unto you, do it.” [Jn 2:5] This word spoken of Jesus Christ is very fitting; …
