Generally, the Scripture is given to read, listen to, memories, meditate, and apply. All these disciplines are helpful and should be diligently practiced. Nevertheless, Apostle John on Patmos was commanded to eat the scroll. (Revelation 10:8-11) A similar command was given to the prophets Jeremiah and Ezekiel. (Jeremiah 15:16; Ezekiel 3:1-3) Disciples of the Lord

The Jewish mob declared that Paul was not fit to live. (Acts 22:22) This is an arbitrary decision of an emotionally charged and irrational mob. Giver of life: God is the giver of life. It is impossible to produce life in a lab or by scientific methods. However, God is gracious to give life to

One restaurant advertises like this: “You’re going to need a bigger mouth!” The food they produce is very tasty, if not healthy, and customers would need a bigger mouth. The Bible exhorts the people of God: “Open your mouth wide; I will fill it.” (Psalm 81:10) In this psalm, God reminds His children, Israel, of

Dr. Howard G. Henricks: “There are two kinds of people in the church. First are pillars that support, and second are caterpillars that crawl in and out week after week.” In many local churches, this statement seems to be true.

The fovea is used for things of importance; this high-resolution capacity is used to see only a few specific things. The eyes neglect certain

The religious leaders of the Jewish nation were physical descendants of Abraham and were proud of it. However, they sought to kill the Son of God. Hence, the Lord said: “My word has no place in you.” (John 8:37) No room: The word used here means the word cannot get settled, dwell or take root

One wiseman said, “When you help someone, remember, he does not have the capacity to be grateful.” Righteous people who do good are forgotten. A powerful king besieged the city.
