See No Evil?
November 30, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Job 31:1
I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     What have you promised your body lately?

     Did you promise yourself that if you behave really well this week, do not eat too much, and exercise a little, that this weekend you could have a double chocolate fudge brownie with hot fudge on top, ground pecans with whipped cream, and a cherry on top? Did you promise your arms and legs a little R&R after working extra hard? Whether we think about it or not, we do make promises to ourselves. Some promises are better than others.

     However, what promises have you made to your eyes? What have you promised them besides maybe a little rest? Have you promised your eyes you would not look at anything sinful on purpose? Do you dare make yourself that promise? Could it be you are afraid, perhaps this may cut into your TV programs? Would such a promise maybe change the magazines you read? Might it stop you from going somewhere you wanted to go? Can you make a covenant with your eyes, not to look at sin as satisfying, not to view filth as fine, and not to see worldliness as wisdom? Can you make this covenant… this promise… this contract… with your eyes?

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

    If you are a Christian, you somewhat already made this covenant when you gave yourself to God. See, God detests looking at sin. It is sickening to Him when He sees it. Sin cost Him His only Son. Sin made Him watch as His Son Jesus was beaten, spit on, slapped, and crucified. God hates sin. When you look at sinful things in this world as a believer with the Holy Spirit in you, you take God with you. 

What did you make God watch through your eyes yesterday?
What will you cause Him to look upon today?

Do You Own Things Or Do Things Own You
November 1 & 2, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Proverbs 1:32-33
For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them. But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     Have you ever heard the saying “If you give a man enough rope, he will hang himself?” What does that mean? I believe it might have something to do with today’s verses. Why would people turn from the wisdom of the Word of God? Especially people who claim to believe there is one true God. I could somewhat understand a person who believes there might be another god or no god, not paying any attention to the warnings in God’s Word. However, why would any person who says they believe there is a Jesus, God, and Holy Spirit turn from the wisdom of God’s Word? The problem may be that they believe “in” and not “on” God. It might just be that they have been given enough rope to hang themselves.

     Let me explain. It usually begins with just a little success, a little prosperity, and a little of what the world calls happiness. As the days go by and quickly turn into weeks, months, and years, people begin to feel safe in their success and fall into the trap of believing there is no way this will change. That is when it happens. They have begun to believe in themselves more than they believe in God. They might subconsciously think they do not need a God. Some begin to wonder if there is a God after all. They begin to subconsciously think, “Look how long I have gotten away with not obeying what the Bible says. I have had no problems, no worries, and no God helping me. I earned it all myself.” So, there you have it. As the verse above says, “the prosperity of fools” destroys them. In the end, they hang themselves with their own stuff. THINGS took them from God. THINGS kept them from God. THINGS send them to a place called Hell. Sadly, this is a place where they will have no more THINGS.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

     As you go through this day, look at the things you have acquired. As you see each one, take a moment to thank God who gave these things to you. Thank Him for it and ask Him how you might use it to glorify Him. Colossians 1:16 says that all THINGS were created by Him and for Him. If all THINGS are created for Him, you should thank Him for allowing you to play with His THINGS.

So, do you own things, or do things Own You?

Write down all the scriptures he uses in that message, then, when you get home, re-read those passages for today’s reading. God has given your Pastor exactly what He desires for you on that day.

What Keeps You Going?
October 31, 2025

KEY FROM GOD’S WORD:

Psalm 104:25-30
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts. There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein. These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season. That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good. Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust. Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

THOUGHTS ON GOD’S WORD:

     What is it that keeps you going every day? Is it air? Well, air plays a big part in it. How about blood? Well, without blood, you cannot survive. Maybe you would say it is water. A person cannot go very long without water. All the answers are true; however, I see one you may have missed. What keeps you living is death. Yup, you read that right, death.

     So, by now, you may wonder how it is that death keeps me living. Well, for you to eat anything, some living thing must die. No matter if it is poultry, beef, tomatoes, or even lettuce, for it to be consumed, it must die. Who thought up such a system? The answer is God, the giver of all life. He not only controls what we eat but also supplies food for all the animals on this entire globe. Huge fish eat smaller fish. Some larger animals will eat vegetation. Carnivores eat other animals. God designed it all. If it were left up to you, could you think up this complex plan? Then again, are you someone who believes that somehow this all happened from a huge bang and cosmic collision in space? No friend, it is all part of God’s plan. For there to be life, there must be death.

CARRYING THAT THOUGHT THROUGH THE DAY:

     For there to be eternal life, there also had to be a death. Jesus came from heaven to die on the cross so that our sins were paid for so that we might have eternal life. Life and death are in God’s hands. He loves us and does what is best for us, even when it makes no sense to us. Jesus’ death made no sense, as He had never sinned. However, without His death, we could not have eternal life. Jesus said in John 14:6, “I am THE WAY.” Only by his death and then His resurrection do we have eternal life.

Why do you think people try other ways,
when Jesus made it clear He is the only way to heaven?
