Walks in the Darkness
But whoever hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes. 1 John 2:11 paper: September 2025 DigitalScrapbook.com blog train by DBMagnolia; clusters: Heirloom Moments by Palvinka

And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in…

Children of Light
Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children. And walk in love, as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us, a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But sexual immorality and all impurity or covetousness must not even be named among you, as is proper among saints. Let there be no filthiness nor…

Put on the New Self
Now this I say and testify in the Lord, that you must no longer walk as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of the ignorance that is in them, due to their hardness of heart. They have become callous…

Bible Study on Homosexuality
I was asked to gather verses from the Bible that speak against homosexuality. While I was at it, I decided to make it into a short Bible study on the subject. We know that God absolutely forbade homosexuality in the Old Testament (Leviticus 18:22 and others), but many people try to say that “nothing was…

Training Us
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people, training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age, waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, who gave himself for us…

New Way of the Spirit
For while we were living in the flesh, our sinful passions, aroused by the law, were at work in our members to bear fruit for death. But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not…

The Sign
“I establish my covenant with you, that never again shall all flesh be cut off by the waters of the flood, and never again shall there be a flood to destroy the earth.” And God said “This is the sign of the covenant that I make between me and you and every living creature that is…

Is Ignorance Bliss?
I would like to address some very disturbing things that have been said in the public forum by people claiming to know God. I’ll take them in reverse chronological order—starting with the most recent. I know there are many, many shocking things being said every day, but for that very reason, I can’t tackle them…

Children of God
The Spirit himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, provided we suffer with him in order that we may also be glorified with him. For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing…

Our Conduct
As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to…

Watchfulness!
I read this brief article today that pretty much sums up what this blog is about, so I thought I would share it. This American author lived from 1845-1923. Having seen some disturbing things written on the internet where “watchfulness” has been described as seeking out dates to set for the rapture, and sometimes through…

Walk by Faith Not Sight (Or No Longer Blind?)
So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are…

To Inherit or Not to Inherit
The reason I write about the topic of this article is that people have been deceived into thinking it’s okay. With some of the other things in the list in the Bible passage below, people KNOW they are wrong things to do, but sometimes do them without even realizing it–or they slip from time to…

Who’s Your Daddy?
A word of encouragement to be ready when Jesus returns: Please don’t buy it if the devil tries to sell you the lie that children of God can enjoy their sins just as much as the rest of the world. Our old nature loves to hear it, because its just plain easier to go along…

Not Under the Law (or “The Emperor’s New Clothes”)
This article was updated August, 2018. For you were called to freedom, brothers. Only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. For the whole law is fulfilled in one word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” But if you bite and devour one another,…

Grow Up
When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I grew up, I did away with childish things. 1 Corinthians 13:11 There was the cutest video on Facebook of a little girl opening a HUGE birthday present on her porch a little while…
