Exodus 14:19-20, Envision God’s Presence This is Red Sea Rule #7 in Robert Morgan’s book THE RED SEA RULES. The angel of God reflecting God’s glory in the cloud went before the people of Israel leading them in the wilderness. Exodus 13:21-22 tells us that “the Lord went before them by day in a pillar […]

Red Sea Rules 5 and 6-Stay Calm and Live by Faith In Exodus 14:13-14, after the people panic at seeing Pharaoh’s army advancing, Moses told them, “Fear not, stand still and see the salvation of the Lord…the Lord will fight for you, while you keep silent”. The people were ready to give up and surrender, […]

The Prayer of a Righteous Man Red Sea prayers are crisis prayers, emergency prayers, and tend to be very intense! In Exodus 14:10, The Egyptians were marching after them, and they became VERY frightened, so the sons of Israel cried out to the Lord”. During seaside prayers like this, fear has a good result because […]

Ephesians 6:10-18, Spiritual Warfare In the materialistic world we live in there has always been wars and aggressive ambitious conquerors. From 335-323 BC, Alexander the Great exerted his will upon the entire Mediterranean world. He invaded Asia and won a series of battles against the larger armies of the Persian Empire. The Persians had terrorized […]

                                       The Glory of God—the Meaning of Life In 1642, the English Parliament led by Oliver Cromwell and the Puritans in England started a civil war against the royalists and King Charles. The Parliament forces won and began putting a coalition of Protestant groups together to agree on Christian doctrine. King Charles claimed to be […]

               The Sovereignty of God as Portrayed in THE RED SEA RULES In his book, THE RED SEA RULES, Robert Morgan has taken the story of Exodus 14 and developed ten rules or principles to live by when you feel trapped by adverse circumstances such as Israel found itself at the Red Sea. God had […]

2 Peter 3—the Day of the Lord and the Coming of Christ The early church found great comfort in the promise of the second coming of Christ. In 2 Peter 3, we see that the false teachers of chapter 2 were trying to shoot holes in the church’s hope, and it was causing turmoil in […]

2 Peter 2, False Teachers Jesus sent His disciples into the world to preach the Gospel, and make disciples of all the nations; but at the same time they were going into the world, the world was also trying to move into the churches. Immediately after Paul’s first missionary journey in which he had planted […]

1 Peter 4:7-19, The Church in a Hostile World In 1 Peter 4:1-4, the Apostle wrote that Christ suffered when He was here in the flesh, but He overcame the suffering because He knew it would have a positive result. The suffering of Christ functions as an example or model for us to follow. We […]

                                               Suffering Innocently-1 Peter 3:13-4:6   In 1 Peter 2:19-20, Peter draws a distinction between suffering innocently and suffering deservedly because of sin. It finds favor with God if a man bears up under sorrows when suffering unjustly, but there is no credit from God when it is from wrongdoing. Peter then went on to […]

1 Peter 1:13-25, Mission Impossible—Be Holy In 1 Peter 1:1-12, we are told of all the blessings that are ours in Christ. Of course no gift is greater than God’s grace. Just think of it—total forgiveness, peace with God, certain hope in the promise of the second coming of Christ and our resurrection, and eternal […]

The Hope That is in You—The Letters of Peter 1 Peter has two uniting themes of hope and holiness as hallmarks of the reborn children of God. These themes of 1 Peter exhort us to live holy lives now because of the hope that is in us. Our hope is the desired expectancy of the […]

James 2:14-26, Evaluate your Faith During the Reformation in the 16th century, Martin Luther was against including the Letter of James in the Protestant Bible. He believed there was a conflict between James and the letters of Paul pertaining to the means of salvation. Luther called James an “epistle of straw”. In 1543 he wrote […]

James 2:1-13  Partiality with Evil Motives The theme of the book of James is about living out our faith, and being a doer of the Word, not just a hearer. In chapter one, James taught on our faithful response to trials and tribulation, our correct response to temptations, and our correct response to the precepts […]

James 1:13-18, The devil made me do it, or did he? An interesting bit of biblical trivia is that when we see our English translation in the Bible of “testing” (James 1:3), or of “tempting” (James 1:13), the original Greek used the same Greek word for both testing and tempting—peirasmos. The context determines which sense […]

James 1—Consider It All Joy The Letter of James in the New Testament was written by the half brother of Jesus between 45 and 49 AD. James was the head elder in the predominately Jewish Church in Jerusalem (Acts 12:17,15:13). He was writing to Jewish believers who had fled persecution in Jerusalem, and were scattered […]

Mark 10:32-52   The Trek of the Befuddled Earlier in Mark 8:31 and 9:31, Jesus had taught the disciples about the necessity of the upcoming Passion Week when he would be arrested, crucified, and then resurrected. The first time, Peter argued with Him and Jesus sharply rebuked him. The second time we read that “they did […]

Mark 10:17-27  Tthe Rich Young Ruler In Mark 10:13-16, people were bringing their little children to Jesus so that He might touch them and bless them, but His disciples rebuked them and told them to go away. When Jesus saw this He admonished His disciples and ordered them to bring the little children to Him, […]
