The Word Became Flesh [aka God’s Thoughts for Humanity Manifested] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things came into being through him, and without him not one thing came into being. What has come into beingContinueContinue reading “Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: John 1)”

Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Psalm 19)
God’s Glory in Creation and the Law To the leader. A Psalm of David. The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; yet theirContinueContinue reading “Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Psalm 19)”
Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Matthew 6)
Concerning AlmsgivingBeware of practicing your piety before others in order to be seen by them; for then you have no reward from your Father in heaven. “So whenever you give alms, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, so that they may be praisedContinueContinue reading “Kingdom of Heaven (ACAD: Matthew 6)”
Sermon: God’s Original Idea, Part 1 by Myles Munroe
Myles Munroe is one of the most phenomenal Bible teachers I’ve ever listened to and read. I came across him early in my studies, so I’m sure some of his explanations are embedded in my thinking. I’ve been listening to sermons this weekend and thought about him. He and his wife died in a planeContinueContinue reading “Sermon: God’s Original Idea, Part 1 by Myles Munroe”
All Is Meaningless (ACAD: Ecclesiastes 12)
The end of the matter; all has been heard. Fear God, and keep his commandments; for that is the whole duty of everyone. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every secret thing, whether good or evil.
All Is Meaningless (ACAD: Ecclesiastes 11)
Just as you do not know how the breath comes to the bones in the mother’s womb, so you do not know the work of God, who makes everything. In the morning sow your seed, and at evening do not let your hands be idle; for you do not know which will prosper, this or that, or whether both alike will be good.
All Is Meaningless (ACAD: Ecclesiastes 10)
Alas for you, O land, when your king is a servant, and your princes feast in the morning! Happy are you, O land, when your king is a nobleman, and your princes feast at the proper time— for strength, and not for drunkenness!
All Is Meaningless (ACAD: Ecclesiastes 9)
The living know that they will die, but the dead know nothing; they have no more reward, and even the memory of them is lost. Their love and their hate and their envy have already perished; never again will they have any share in all that happens under the sun. Go, eat your bread with enjoyment, and drink your wine with a merry heart; for God has long ago approved what you do.
All Is Meaningless (ACAD: Ecclesiastes 8)
For the word of the king is powerful, and who can say to him, “What are you doing?” Whoever obeys a command will meet no harm, and the wise mind will know the time and way. For every matter has its time and way, although the troubles of mortals lie heavy upon them. Indeed, they do not know what is to be, for who can tell them how it will be?
All Is Meaningless (ACAD: Ecclesiastes 7)
Wisdom gives strength to the wise more than ten rulers that are in a city.
Surely there is no one on earth so righteous as to do good without ever sinning.
Do not give heed to everything that people say, or you may hear your servant cursing you; your heart knows that many times you have yourself cursed others.
All this I have tested by wisdom; I said, “I will be wise,” but it was far from me.
