Letting God speak
I have got a zombie problem. There is a zombie that is trying to kill me. I must kill it first. That zombie is my sin nature. Romans 6:6 tells us that our sin nature (old man) was crucified, or killed, with Christ. Yet like a zombie it keeps trying to reanimate itself. Zombies may …
Matthew 13:22 As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the Word. But the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the Word, and it proves unfruitful. The garlic was in there somewhere. We knew it, but it was hard to see proof. The weeds had overgrown …

2 Corinthians 6:16b – 17 ESV … God said, “I will make My dwelling among them and walk among them, and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Therefore go out from their midst, and be separate from them, says the Lord, and touch no unclean thing; then I will welcome …
Joshua 1:10-11 ESV And Joshua commanded the officers of the people, “Pass through the midst of the camp and command the people, ‘Prepare your provisions, for within three days you are to pass over the Jordan to go in to take possession of the land that the Lord your God is giving you to possess.’” …
1 Corinthians 15:51-52 ESV Behold! I tell you a mystery. We shall not all sleep, but we shall be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed. Most Christians believe in the …
