DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE VERSE IN THE BIBLE? MOST PEOPLE DO BUT ARE THERE A LOT OF VERSES YOU CAN REMEMBER? I AM GOING TO LIST A FEW BELOW AND SEE IF YOU HAVE HEARD THESE BEFORE.
More Than Just Sowing And Reaping
LUKE 6:38, 'Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.'
LUKE 6:17-49
This verse reveals one of God's cardinal laws that will work in the spiritual realm, as well as the physical world. Just as we 'give' seed into the ground to receive back multiple seeds, so it is with everything we give. Whether it's money, possessions, an emotion such as love or hate, prayers, or our time, we will reap a harvest of whatever we give. We reap exactly what we sow and proportional to the same measure that we give (Gal. 6:7-8).
'He which soweth...

His Mercy Endures Forever
MATTHEW 12:20, 'A bruised reed shall he not break, and a smoking flax shall he not quench, till he send forth judgement unto victory.'
MATTHEW 12:15-21, MARK 3:7-19, LUKE 6:12-16
One of the ways in which God's goodness is revealed is in mercy. We may describe mercy as the readiness of God to relieve the misery of fallen creatures. Many times, mercy is called compassion or lovingkindness. It is expressed toward the sinner because of the misery that sin has brought upon him.
The 'reed' referred to in this passage is probably speaking of the reeds that grew in the marshy areas in the land of Palestine. These were very fragile and could be easily bruised or broken. The term 'smoking flax' refers to a linen...
About Those Scribes
Luke 6:7, 'And the scribes and the Pharisees watched him, whether he would heal on the sabbath day, that they might find an accusation against him.'
MATTHEW 12:1-14; MARK 2:23-3:6; LUKE 6:1-11
The scribes were copyists of the holy scriptures. They preserved in written form the oral law, and faithfully handed down the Hebrew scriptures. In New Testament times, they were students, interpreters, and teachers of the Old Testament. Their functions regarding the law were to teach it, develop it, and use it in any connection with the Sanhedrin and various local courts. They were ambitious for honor, which they demanded, especially from their pupils, as well as from the general public. This homage was readily granted them...
Foot Stompin and Hand Clappin - Blessed to have the Holy Spirit Visit our Shows.
By Jude Moran, 2021-03-22
We've been touring and playing our unique brand of revivalist Americana Gospel music for over a decade. We started when we started writing music based on hymns we discovered in old Baptist, Christian and Pentecostal hymnals.
We'd play secular & Church settings and have experienced the Holy Spirit coming down on us and our audiences at both performances. When we are closing the night playing our closing song, and the audience spontaneously breaks into shouting "Amen, Amen" is something we've experienced and cannot fathom that we were blessed to have this happen in our presence!
God Or Man Pleasers
John 5:43-44, 'I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive. How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?'
JOHN 5:28-47
This is in reference to the fact that Jesus came in the power and authority of His father to point men to Father God. Jesus existed before His advent on this earth in the form of God and was equal with God. Yet, He humbled Himself and became a servant while here on earth (Phil. 2:6-8).
He did not come to promote Himself but to give His life to provide the way to the Father (Jn. 14:6). In the same way, the Holy Spirit does not exalt Himself, but points all men unto...
