What is Man? For to which of the angels did He ever say: “You are My Son, today I have begotten You”? And again: “I will be to Him a Father, and He shall be to Me a Son”? Hebrews 1:5 Some days I have an attitude of “Why bother?”  I know it’s not rightContinue reading “From the Daily Dose Journal Series”

The Word of His Power His Son, being the brightness of His glory and the express image of His person and upholding all things by the word of His power, when He had by Himself purged our sins, sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3 I struggled quite aContinue reading “From the Daily Dose Journal Series”

Just Believe So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” And he himself believed, and his whole household. John 4:53                Have you ever noticed that sometimes when you pray about something you are going through that the answer comes right away andContinue reading “Friday, March 24, 2023”

Don’t seek a sign Then Jesus said to him, “Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.” John 4:48 I feel like this happens a lot in today’s world.  People move from church to church or ministry to ministry looking for that perfect preacher or dynamic speaker, maybe even theContinue reading “Thursday, March 23, 2023”

John 4:6 Have you ever been weary?  Tired out from a long day at work or an even longer week of running to fit everything in?  As often asContinue reading “Monday, March 20, 2023”

Your ministry Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, 1 Timothy 1:5 I had been struggling, trying to decide if the book of Timothy was the direction that the Lord was leading me to for the Daily Dose series.  As I readContinue reading “From the Daily Dose Journal Series”

Next generation To Timothy, a true son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and peace from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. 1 Timothy 1:2 This is thought provoking.  Paul wrote a letter to Timothy who he called his son in the faith.  Timothy had a father.  We know because he is mentioned previouslyContinue reading “From the Daily Dose Journal Series”

He must increase He must increase, but I must decrease. John 3:30 After John the Baptist introduced Jesus at His baptism as the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world, Jesus began His public ministry.  Some confusion came from John’s disciples about who they should follow and what their next stepsContinue reading “Friday, March 17, 2023”
