We bring our study of Psalm 4 to an end today as we read verse number eight: «I will both lie down in peace and sleep, for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.» David ends Psalm 4 on notes of peace, rest, and safety in the Lord. As I [...]

Welcome to a brand new week. We’re starting a new study, and we will look at Abraham. We will examine his calling. Abraham is the man whose faith led us to the knowledge of one true God. So, Genesis chapter 12, verse 1: «Now the Lord had said to [...]

We’re just two days away from the end of the year and three days from a new year. We want to offer thanks to the Lord for watching over us throughout these 365 days of this year, 2020. Psalm 121:2-3 says, «My help comes from the Lord who made heaven [...]

We’re in Genesis chapter 12, and this is verse number two: «I will make you a great nation; I will bless you and make your name great, and you shall be a blessing.» God’s call to Abraham, which we began looking at yesterday, was an instruction to [...]

We’re still tracking Jesus on the way to Jerusalem for the grand entrance into the city (Luke 19:32–34). So those who were sent went away and found it just as he had said to them. But as they were loosening the colt, the owners of it said to them, [...]

First Timothy chapter 1, verse 17: Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen. That’s a good note on which we end our study of First Timothy chapter one, and I trust that you’ve [...]

Welcome to a new week. One of the things I want to do with «Where to Go» is to take us through as much of the Scriptures as possible. Most of the time, Christians know only a few verses of the Bible and do not explore the Scriptures widely enough, [...]

Psalm 3, verses 2 and 3: Many are they who say of me, «There is no help for him in God.» Selah. But you, O Lord, are a shield for me, my glory and the one who lifts up my head. I love this psalm; in the midst of David’s troubles, he heard what [...]

So we’ve looked at what we shouldn’t do and then what we should do—whom we shouldn’t associate with and what we should meditate on, which is the Word of God. Now, verse three gives us the result of doing those two: what we shun and what we embrace [...]

Exodus chapter 4, verses 4 and 5: Then the Lord said to Moses, «Reach out your hand and take it by the tail.» So he reached out his hand and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand. This is so that they may believe that the Lord God of your [...]

We continue our teaching on choices. We’ve looked at several aspects of the subject; we’ve considered the fact that life is a choice, that Jesus holds the key, and that there are two ways before us: one is narrow, the other is broad. We’ve examined [...]

We’re still examining the concept of fruitfulness and have considered it from the perspective that the earth is meant to be fruitful, that God has given us the seed to be fruitful, and that God has granted us the power to exercise dominion. All of [...]

We’re talking about fruitfulness this week. We’ve discussed the fact that the earth is made to be fruitful, that God has placed within us the seed, the capacity, and the potential to be fruitful. We’ve talked about the fact that whatever seed God [...]

Welcome to a brand new week. This week, we’re going to focus on a topic. Instead of doing a study of a passage, we’re going to do a topical study, and I’m going to talk about choices because they are important for us as we seek to make our lives [...]

This is our last reading for Joshua, chapter 1, verses 16 and 17. So the answer Joshua gives is, «All that you command us, we will do, and wherever you send us, we will go. Just as we heeded Moses in all things, so we will heed you. Only the Lord [...]

First John chapter 1, verse 8: «If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.» As I stated earlier, First John addresses problems in the early church. At this point, there are some people who believe that Jesus [...]

We are in the New Year and need to walk in the paths that God has made for us, so it’s important for us to be led by the Lord. Exodus chapter 13, verse 21 states, «And the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way and by [...]
