If You Abide in His Word

October 26, 2025 /

Reformation Sunday!

The day we remember the importance of Scripture as the only source for knowing God and the Way of salvation in Jesus.

Jesus said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are truly My disciples, and you will know the Truth, and the Truth will set you free.”

John 8:31-32

The foundation for faith. The cradle for comfort. The lamp for living. The Word and the Way.

Ok, I’ll stop.

But it’s important.

Through Scripture we learn about Jesus who sets us free from sin. Free from the Law which condemns. Free from death itself.

All of us were slaves to sin and the Law.

In Jesus we are free and saved.

That’s not just “a big deal,” it’s the only deal that matters!

Jesus is the only Way of freedom and salvation. If we “abide in [His] Word, [we] are truly [His] disciples” (John 8:31) and He sets “us free indeed” (John 8:36).

Believe in Jesus. Follow Him. Trust in Him. Abide in Him. Be free in Him.

A truly reformed life and eternity follows!

“Thank You, Jesus, for setting us free from the law of sin and death. Thank You for that Truth of eternal life and present living. Help us to hold tightly to You in our lives and share You for the lives of others. In Your precious name do we pray. Amen.”

Continue in What You Have Learned

October 19, 2025 /

But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have firmly believed, knowing from whom you learned it.”

2 Timothy 3:14

Today’s Scripture is one of my favorites. From the Scriptures “which are able to make wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus” (2 Timothy 3:15) to “All Scripture is breathed out by God” (2 Timothy 3:16) to people accumulating “for themselves teachers to suit their own passions” (2 Timothy 4:3).

So much good stuff.

And so applicable for today.

False teachers who lead people astray are everywhere. “Pastors” and “preachers” who teach what they want instead of what God says. They align themselves with the culture instead of with the Christ; with the world instead of with the Word; with the secular instead of with the sacred.

And people follow them instead of Him.

This is a travesty. This is idolatry. This is heresy.

It does not lead people to paradise but to perdition.

We are called to “continue in what [we] have learned,” – i.e., continue in the Holy, inerrant Word of God and nothing else.

But to “continue” in something means we also need to have learned it in the first place.

We need to constantly and consistently be in the Word, for It is the only rule and norm for living and the only Word that leads to Christ Jesus, the Savior.

Everything else is just for “itching ears” to satisfy sinful hearts and a fallen world.

Continue in the saving Word of God, through faith in Jesus!

Every day. In every way.

“Thank You, Lord, for Your precious, holy, perfect Word, which makes us ‘wise for salvation through faith in Jesus.’ Grant us to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest It daily, so we may dray closer to You, know how to live holy lives, and be ready for all that comes our way. Help us identify false teachers and teachings and instead cling to You, live You, and teach You. Every day. In every way. In Jesus name. Amen.”

October 15, 2025 /

Men, we’re starting a new study for our time together, starting on OCTOBER 28 — “The Top Ten Hebrew Words Every Christian Should Know” by Mark Ward through rightnow media.

The Old Testament was originally written in Hebrew, a language inaccessible to most people.

Which Hebrew words are worth knowing? And why should you know them?

We’ll explore Yahweh, Selah, Amen, Messiah, and other important Hebrew words that every Christian should know.

This won’t be a boring exposition, but interesting and exciting. You’ll be glad you came!

Pass the Salt

October 12, 2025 /

Today we hear a lot of closing greetings from Paul to the people at the church in Colossae. Greetings from folks who are with the Colossians and ones who are with Paul.

Some typical stuff there.

But with those greetings come some closing exhortations that are important: “Continue steadfast in prayer…Walk in wisdom…Let your speech be gracious.”

Be careful that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deceit based on human tradition, based on the elements of the world, rather than Christ.

Colossians 2:8 (CSB)

Pray, walk, and talk.

He has preached the Good News to them, countering heresies and false teachers and philosophies. He has addressed these people – who he did not know – in a fatherly, pastoral way on the full divinity of Jesus (and why that is essential). He has shared that they are dead to sin and alive in Jesus. He has has reminded them to set their “minds on things that are above, not on things that are on the earth.” He has given them practical reasons to deal with all relationships in love, honor and respect, as serving the Lord.

And now it is time to close his letter with “pray, walk, and talk” like the redeemed people they are. A loving reminder to both “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” as a praying Christian.

As we conclude our journey through this beautiful book of the Gospel, may we see Jesus in and through every page. For everyone. Forever.

So we pray, in Jesus. We walk, in the wisdom of Jesus. We talk with the graciousness of Jesus.

Jesus.

Always.

For everyone.

Forever.

“Thank You, heavenly Father, for sending Your Son, our savior, Jesus, in whom the fullness of the deity dwells, to accomplish everything for us and our salvation. Let all our thoughts and actions be based as ones who respond to Your gift of mercy and grace in Him through our relationships, our philosophies, our actions, and our prayers. Grant that in every way, we are pointed to Him, dependent on Him, share Him, live Him, and love Him. Always. In His precious name do we pray. Amen.”

Scriptures

  • Colossians 4:2-18
