Learn what the Bible says about God's moral law
The reason the Jesus came to earth was to pay for our sins. So what is sin?
Sin (by definition) is - transgression of the law. By law, it means the moral law of God, as summarily found in the 10 commandments.
In Romans 7:7 the Apostle Paul says, “I would not have known sin, except through the law.”

Thoughts about Easter Sunday
As Easter is just around the corner, you might be thinking about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. For the Christian, it is very significant. The resurrection proved that Jesus claimed to be who he said he was, the resurrection proved that He had and has power over death, the resurrection gives the Christian confidence that we serve a risen Savior.
I was recently reading some thoughts about the resurrection and I thought that you might be interested in reading them as well.

Question: Samson, is it narrow-minded to think that Jesus is the only way to God? Aren’t there other ways to reach heaven?

This morning, I was meditating on the fact that the Bible says that God justifies the ungodly. Many people think that they can earn their way to heaven by being good, by not committing any felonies, or by being a good husband or a good wife or a good father or a good mother. They think that surely God will see their good deeds and be satisfied.

Learn the First and Greatest Commandment
Matthew 22:34-40
But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”

Read about God the Creator
O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
2 Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.

(written by Matthew Henry)
“My times are in Your hand!” Psalm 31:15
Firmly believing that my times are in God’s hand, I here submit myself and all my affairs for the ensuing year, to the wise and gracious disposal of God’s divine providence. Whether God appoints for me . . . .
health or sickness,
peace or trouble,
comforts or crosses,
life or death–
may His holy will be done!
