This verse is usually used when the believers gather together to pray, emphasizing the fact that even if only two or three believers gather together to pray God is still there in their midst, very much honored that they took the effort to gather together to pray. Indeed, two or three praying together becomes more…

What Trips Up a Believer
If God is on the side of the believer, who can fight against him? The Devil? The Devil is no match to God. The passage says that God did not even spare His own Son just so the believer can be united with Him. He will never condemn the believer and in fact NOTHING can…
Tough Choices
The Christian life consists of three stages – salvation, sanctification (growth and maturing), glorification (graduation! when the believer enters Heaven or when Jesus comes again to bring them to Heaven). When the believer comes to Christ and receives Him in his heart as his Lord, Savior – that is the salvation step. It happens very…
Still in the Works
The Christian life consists of three stages – salvation, sanctification (growth and maturing), glorification (graduation! when the believer enters Heaven or when Jesus comes to earth again to claim them). When the believer comes to Christ and receives Him in his heart as his Lord, Savior, Brother and Friend – that is the salvation step.…
God’s Protection
The psalm from which this passage comes from is THE go to Bible chapter for the believer in times of fear, danger, trouble, etc. God Himself is a shield, a shelter, a stronghold, a bastion of protection for the believer. When the believer puts his trust in Him the shadow of God Himself will go…

We can’t really be friends with everyone because that would most likely mean we bend to the wishes of everyone. I believe that’s why this proverb says having too many friends would bring us to ruin. I think there’s a limit to the number of people you can invest your quality time and attention on,…
Overcome Evil with Good
This totally goes against the grain of our human nature, doesn’t it? What does this verse actually look like for real? The previous verse describes it: Romans 12:20 “But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his…
The Author and Perfecter of Faith
This verse doesn’t make much sense unless you read the whole passage. The passage concerned is very significant to me. When I was a new believer I struggled with certain temptations that would lead me back to my old life before I knew Christ. So, I looked for a passage in the Bible that would…
Antidote to Anxiety
This verse is better understood if we read the whole passage: Philippians 4:6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. 7 And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.//…
