  • What About The Sabbath?

    What About The Sabbath?

    Throughout His ministry, Jesus never once broke the fourth commandment which required that all Jews observe the Sabbath. He was after all a Jew. However, He did give us a clue that a change to the Sabbath was coming. To make my point, you must first understand that the original manuscripts of the Scriptures were…


  • Thoughts On Isaiah Chapters 28-32

    Thoughts On Isaiah Chapters 28-32

    In my morning quiet time today, I read through Isaiah from chapters 28 to 32, but I was truly struck by the way Isaiah’s warning in chapter 28 about the false prophets, teachers, and government officials of his day, is also a warning against false prophets, teachers, and government officials of our world today. I…


  • Today Compared To Isaiah’s Day

    Like today, so too were the days of Isaiah’s time. When Isaiah began his ministry, temples to false gods littered the landscape of the nation. More citizens worshiped false gods than the One true God. At the opening of each new season, snow-white horses, stalled in the rooms at Solomon’s Temple entrance, were driven forth…


  • Objects In The Mirror Closer Than They Appear

    Objects In The Mirror Closer Than They Appear

      Last week I accompanied my wife to get her hair done. While I sat waiting I was struck by the gleeful and casual way the hair dresser mentioned that her oldest daughter was expecting a baby by her boyfriend, but they were waiting until after the child is born to get married. Mind you,…


  • Is Your Heart Right?

    Is Your Heart Right?

    Jesus tells us in Matthew 25:31-46 of how we will be judged by the Son of Man. The example HE gives is how we treat those we do not know, but are in need of water, food, or comfort due to an illness or being in prison. A good example of Jesus convicting one’s heart…


  • A Quiet Time Contemplation

    Often times the Holy Spirit will come upon me early in the morning as I am enjoying my quiet time reading the Scriptures. After I finish reading I will I write what comes to me. Usually as the day goes on I forget what I wrote. This is why I like reading through old journals…


  • Speaking Of Schisms

    Speaking Of Schisms

    by Chuck Ness As I was enjoying a picture commentary about the time king Saul attacked David, I was given an insight I had never previously considered. It’s a connection that ties Saul’s attack on David and our Lord Jesus being confronted by the religious leaders for plucking kernels of grain to eat on the…


  • A Journey To Bethlehem

    A Journey To Bethlehem

    A Journey To Bethlehem (Disclaimer) This chapter is an embellished story, so do not take it as inspired by GOD. I wrote this for entertainment, and thus it is but a figment of my active imagination mixed with some facts surrounding the times, the places and the characters. I ask that you allow yourself to…


  • Lost in a World of Flames

    Lost in a World of Flames

      The following is an image I dreamed of as I fell asleep while meditating upon the Scriptures I read this morning. It is not unexpected, since I am reading the book of Revelation. I have learned from past experience that the power of suggestion while reading The Word, can be truly amazing at times.…


  • The True Vine (Devotional)

    The True Vine (Devotional)

    “I am the true vine, and my Father is the vinedresser” John 15:1 Ever notice all the downed branches after a strong Summer storm? If they lie there for several days, the leaves on those fallen branches fade from green to brown. That’s because they got separated from the life-giving tree they were once attached…
