HYMN DAY! This is one of those rousing ones that you can’t help but sing loud and smile while you’re singing. “Saved, Saved!” by Jack P. Scholfield. Feel free to listen to it here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIEaHShuEhQ(I really wanna visit that church!) 1 I’ve found a friend who is all to me;…
Jesus didn’t come to be our judge. God is the judge of man’s hearts. Jesus came to save. As Christians, it’s our responsibility to love as He loved. We cannot judge another man’s heart, but He has given us the discernment to judge fruit. If a person shows no fruit…
Jesus came to be the Light that leads us out of darkness. God, as our Creator, knows we cannot have peace or true contentment when we are separated from Him. The darkness separates us from having a relationship with Him. So He sent Jesus as our Rescuer and Redeemer. Those…
Every culture has its god. Men innately want to believe in a higher being. The Jews were no different, except they claimed to follow Yahweh, the Covenant God of Israel. Even though God had promised to send the Messiah, the Jews still doubted Jesus’ words. His exclamation here should have…
Today let’s look at verse 43: “For they loved praise from men more than praise from God.” Some people believed Jesus was who He claimed to be, but they stayed silent. Pleasing men was more important to them than pleasing God with their full commitment. How sad. Can any man,…

Sing, O earth his wonderful love proclaim! Hail him! hail him! highest archangels in glory, Strength…
Let’s focus on verse 42 here. Some who saw did believe Jesus was the Son of God. They believed, but they stayed silent out of fear of being banned from what was familiar. Let’s say you had a friend who only was your friend in private but acted like you…
This verse is heartbreaking. They SAW Him. They saw His miracles. They heard His words, which were wise beyond measure. They looked right at Him, but they couldn’t SEE. When I was healed in September of 2004 and arrived at school minus my cane, people noticed. If someone asked where…
Before we receive Jesus, we’re lost in the dark abyss of sin. But when we receive Jesus, we find the Light. We become a child of Light, and sin no longer has a hold on us. Thus, the darkness is gone—gone for all eternity. I once asked that man, “Where…
