…taken to the city by Epaphras while Paul was in Ephesus. Philemon was apparently a resident of the city, as his slave, Onesimus, (Philemon 10) was a Colossian (4:9). This book may be the most Christological of any of Paul’s epistles, if Hebrews is not taken as his. The book centers on the person of Christ, with direct references to him 81 times in 95 verses. Paul argues for the deity of Christ in the book, using some strong words…

…opportunity to act in a way that stupifies Satan. At those moments, we can look up and remember, and praise God for His presence (Hebrews 13:5) even when we do not sense it. This is what Jeremiah did. He pauses at Lamentations 3:21 and looks up and remembers. He expresses his faith in a poignant and deeply moving way. The situation has not changed, but his thoughts move from the situation to God Himself and what he writes is his…

…that thought. If I can bring Jesus into the thought, then that is what I want to do. Not every thought is bad. We do not need to engage in these intense battles with every thought. We simply need to be on the watch for those thoughts that exalt themselves against God. Move always to focus on Jesus Christ (Hebrews 12:2). And always cultivate a life of thankfulness to God! Back, then, to your specific question. It is not wrong…

…look up and remember, and praise God for His presence (Hebrews 13:5) even when we do not sense it. This is what Jeremiah did. He paused (Lamentations 3:21) and looked up and remembered. He expressed his faith in a poignant and deeply moving way. The situation had not changed, but his thoughts moved from the situation to God Himself. And what he wrote was his chronicle of faith. The Psalmist, in Psalm 73, wondered why the wicked seem to have…

…follow Him (Luke 9:43)? We are not our own, but have been bought with a price (1 Corinthians 6:20). Therefore, our calling is to seek to glorify Jesus with our bodies and with our spirits, which belong to Him (1 Corinthians 6:20). However, we also need to be on the guard against deception. Sometimes, the things we think are within our rights to do are the very things that lead us away from Christ. The evidence for me of whether…

This is the great picture of baptism. We have died to what we were and we are now risen in newness of life (Romans 6:3-11). We have a new birth (John 3). Paul tells us that we have died that we might be freed from the control of…

…that worked out when you thought there was no way . . . they could be almost anything. But keep your eyes open for them. Learn to live expectantly, looking for the evidence of God. He rewards those who diligently seek Him (Hebrews 11:6). There will always be sorrows in life. God does not save us for the purpose of removing all sorrows from life. He saves us for the purpose of having a relationship with Himself. Peter encourages us…

…desire becomes a powerful expression of unity within marriage, and Scripture states that husbands and wives ought not to defraud one another in this matter, except to devote themselves to pray for short periods of time, then coming back together (1 Corinthians 7:5). The expression of sexual intimacy within a marriage is God’s design, and is a good thing (Hebrews 13:4). The Proverbs tells us to rejoice in the wife of our youth and let her love always intoxicate us…
