"Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands. They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: yea, all of them shall wax old like a garment; as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy …

Clothed With Christ, Clothed With Power
"And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them." [Acts 16:25] In Ephesians Paul glorifies God, saying, “Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, unto Him be glory in …
A Cloud of Favor
"I have blotted out, as a thick cloud, thy transgressions, and, as a cloud, thy sins: return unto me; for I have redeemed thee." [Isa 44:22] Long ago, when Christ walked the earth, it came to pass on a certain day that a man, who was “afflicted with paralysis,” was brought to Jesus, “lying on …
Part II: The Humiliation of Heaven’s Captain
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought not equality with God a prize to be grasped: but emptied Himself, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as …

Part I: Emptied of Glory
"Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: who, being in the form of God, thought not equality with God a prize to be grasped: but emptied Himself, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: and being found in fashion as …
The Wife’s Glory
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, …
Not One Sin Remains
"And The LORD turned a mighty strong west wind, which took away the locusts, and cast them into the Red Sea; there remained not one locust in all the coasts of Egypt." [Ex 10:19] The love that God has showed us through His forgiveness is indescribable. As Paul wrote, “thanks be unto God for His …
The Greatest King & Lowliest Servant
"And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them: and they continued a season in ward." [Gen 40:4] When Jesus came to earth, though indeed He was “The blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords,” [1 Tim 6:15] yet, He did not use that information …
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; …
Our Indescribable Pardon
"Who is a God like unto thee, that pardoneth iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy. He will turn again, He will have compassion upon us; He will trample under foot our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all …
