And I say unto you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 16:18-19a
And I say unto you, you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it. I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven.” – Matthew 16:18-19a Peter was given “the keys of the kingdom” — the keys of the Church. He was to open the door to three groups of people living in his day: the Jews, the Samaritans, and the Gentiles. Once, he opened the door to that particular group, it stayed open for that group. The first time Peter used the keys …
”Getting” It
”Getting” It Jack Kinsella I cannot recall a time when I ever really disbelieved in God. Reaching way back into the dim recesses, I thought of God as my “Big Friend” – I remember talking to Him from my earliest memories. As I grew older, I put God away, but I don’t think I ever doubted He was real. That doesn’t mean that I was saved back then – far from it. I could never convince myself that God wasn’t real, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t try. I just did what human beings have done since the Fall: “And …
Looking for Fruit
Looking for Fruit Galatians 5:16-26 16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. 18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. 19 Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, 21 Envyings, …
Words of Comfort
Words of Comfort Job 3 3 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. 2 And Job spake, and said, 3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived. 4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it. 5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it. 6 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let …
The Prayers of Tears
The Prayers of Tears Lord, I cannot find the words, to express to you my fears all I have to offer You are the bounty of my tears.

Lord, sometimes when I cry, they’re my prayers ~ just in tears as I weep for the day when . . . You’ll wipe away my fears! By deborah ann
Amir’s commentary on the Palmyra arch in DC
Amir’s commentary on the Palmyra arch in DC *********************************************** Much confusion and sensationalism is flooding the social media at the moment. The sad thing is that it’s the same old trick of the same people who are always on the move to gain more attention and on the way completely confuse the people of God. It’s always about a “harbinger” or a “paradigm”. A recreation of Palmyra’s Arch of Triumph was unveiled in Washington DC after having been on display in London Dubai and NYC, a few years after Islamic State militants destroyed the original structure. The 1,800-year-old Roman arch …

CAUGHT IN THE STORM
CAUGHT IN THE STORM Have you ever been caught in a storm? Stormy weather can cause some very intense feelings and reactions in us. Stormy Weather Can Cause Fear. In Matthew 14:22-33 is the story of Peter walking on the water. To set the scene, a storm came up while the disciples were in a ship and they were afraid when they saw Jesus walking on the water toward them. Jesus told them Who He was and then Peter, one of the disciples walked on the water too–well, at first. When Peter looked around and saw the storm, he was …
Jesus Christ, the Seeking Savior
Jesus Christ, the Seeking Savior John 3:16-17 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. In this busy and impersonal high-tech world, it seems easier than ever to ignore Jesus Christ. We are led to believe that every challenge can be met quickly and self-sufficiently, often through some online resource. After all, if we want to keep our eyes …
The hope which is laid up for you in heaven.”—Colossians 1:5.
The hope which is laid up for you in heaven.”—Colossians 1:5 OUR hope in Christ for the future is the mainspring and the mainstay of our joy here. It will animate our hearts to think often of heaven, for all that we can desire is promised there. Here we are weary and toilworn, but yonder is the land of rest where the sweat of labour shall no more bedew the worker’s brow, and fatigue shall be for ever banished. To those who are weary and spent, the word “rest” is full of heaven. We are always in the field of …
