Jude 1:24 “Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling” The heroes that we read about in the Bible all have the commonality of Christ being their strength. David would have given up at the beginning without the Lord’s aid. Abraham never would...

Jude 1:1-15 This part of Jude covers so many topics for the Christian to examine. Verse 3 encourages us to “contend earnestly”. Contend means to fight, or strive for. How much are we fighting for Jesus to have the number ONE spot in our lives? How earnestly are we...

Psalm 130:3 “If You, Lord, should mark iniquities, O Lord, who could stand?” Thank God for grace! The grace that comes from Jesus because of His death on the cross takes away the price that we would have to pay for our sins. The debt we owe is far too high, and we...

2 Peter 2:17-22 Peter describes those that choose their own way, or lead others away from Christ as “wells without water”. The Bible is filled with verses that we can apply to ourselves for self-examination. Do we hold the Word of God so deep within ourselves that...

2 Peter 2:4-10 This section starts off with such a powerful verse, “if God did not spare the angels”. Think. Satan was ejected from heaven when he rebelled. Why do we feel like we have the right to allow sin in our lives? Peter goes on to bring up...
