NEW!Listen Now
But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:16, NLT

Recommended Reading: 1 Corinthians 2:7-12


According to Guinness World Records, In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust is the world’s longest book, with more than 1.2 million words. Depending on the edition, it can span more than 4,000 pages. To read it, you need a sturdy lap, a strong pair of glasses, and rare determination.

Why not study God’s Word instead? It’s small enough to hold in your hand, yet we never tire of its ever-fresh words. The reason the Bible constantly renews us is simple—it was inspired by the Holy Spirit who also indwells us and enables us to understand its message. It’s possible to devote your life to studying the Bible without its transforming effect on your heart. To some, it’s just an ancient book. But to the Spirit-filled believer, the Holy Spirit tutors us. The apostle Paul wrote, “For his Spirit searches out everything and shows us God’s deep secrets…. We have received God’s Spirit…so we can know the wonderful things God has freely given us” (1 Corinthians 2:10-12, NLT).

As you read the Bible, ask the Spirit to shine His flashlight on the truths He wants you to see today.

The Bible is the greatest of all books; to study it is the noblest of all pursuits; to understand it, the highest of all goals.

Hyssop​

May 17, 2025

NEW!Listen Now
Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean; wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
Psalm 51:7

Recommended Reading: Exodus 12:21-28


Some of the flowers mentioned in the Bible are unknown to us in the West. Hyssop is an example of a flowering plant known in the Middle East and southern Europe but unfamiliar to us. It is a shrub-like plant up to two feet tall with woody stems which grow upright, producing leaves and small fragrant flowers in the summer. Cutting and bundling the stems with their leaves intact produces a brush-like tool for dipping and “painting” liquids.

In Egypt, on the night of the first Passover, the Hebrew slaves were instructed to take “a bunch of hyssop,” dip it in a basin of blood from a sacrificial lamb, and spread the blood on the doorposts of their house (Exodus 12:22). The blood would be a sign to “the destroyer” to pass over that house (verse 23). David recalled that imagery when his own sins were found out and he needed to be cleansed: “Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean.”

Thank God today that Jesus is the sacrificial Lamb of God whose blood takes away the sins of the world (John 1:29).


‘Twas grace that gave me to the Lamb, who all my sorrows took.

1. “We cannot understand where we are now if we don’t understand where we are going.” – “4 Things Every Christian Should Know about the Rapture”

2. “Darkness does something to a place, doesn’t it? It distorts. It becomes a canvas for the imagination. The good news is that shadows are only the deflection of light. They can frighten, but they can do no harm.” – What Are You Afraid Of?

3. “We are not saved by good works, but we are saved for good works, and the Gospel is a transforming agent in our lives.” – “5 Birthmarks of the Born Again Christian”

4. “This is a time when all of God’s people need to keep their eyes and their Bibles wide open. We must ask God for discernment as never before.” – Until Christ Returns

7. “The mind is the most critical part of spiritual warfare. Without the active engagement of the mind—learning, thinking, discerning, understanding, deciding, committing—we are doomed to spiritual defeat by Satan. That is why the Bible speaks of the mind and thinking so often (nearly 150 times).” – “Our Most Important Weapon in the Fight against Spiritual Warfare”

8. “Few of us ever fully grasp the simple but painful biblical truth—the heat of suffering is a refiner’s fire, purifying the gold of godly character and wisdom.” –When Your World Falls Apart

9. “Prayer does not come naturally to any of us. In our more honest moments, we all admit it’s a struggle to pray as we’d like. And yet there is no avoiding the fact that Scripture insists God has hard-wired the universe in such a way that He works primarily through prayer.” – “Why You are Too Busy Not to Pray”

10. “To accomplish anything extraordinary you must blend desire for the goal with the will to take action to achieve it. This is how you commit to making yourself do what’s right, whether you feel like it or not. The key is self-control.” – Everything You Need
 

Lessons From May Flowers: Olive​

May 24, 2025

You were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a cultivated olive tree.
Romans 11:24

Recommended Reading: Psalm 128:1-4

Jesus was well known for using agricultural metaphors in His teaching. But the apostle Paul occasionally did the same. The most sophisticated example is his use of olive trees to illustrate the union of Jews and Gentiles into the redemptive plan of God (Romans 11:11-24).

Olive trees—wood, fruit, and oil—are mentioned nearly forty times in Scripture. Olive trees were so well known in the Mediterranean region that Paul could talk about the practice of grafting cultivated and wild trees knowing his readers would understand. Normally a branch of a cultivated olive tree would be grafted into a wild olive trunk to produce a new, fruit-bearing tree. In his example, a cultivated olive tree represented the Jews and the wild olive tree represented the Gentiles. “Contrary to nature,” Paul wrote, God has grafted a wild branch (Gentiles) into a cultivated tree (Jews) to extend the blessings of Abraham to all the world.

When you enjoy olive oil, remember how God has grafted Jew and Gentile together into a new “tree” of faith.

The glory of the body of Christ appears in the diversity of its members.

THE BOILING FROG

Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.
1 PETER 5:8

Most people have heard the “boiling frog” metaphor: if you drop a frog in a pot of boiling water, it will frantically try to jump out. But place the frog in a pot of room-temperature water, then slowly heat the water, and the frog will get used to the change in temperature and slowly succumb to the boiling water. While factually incorrect, the metaphor is useful for pointing out the danger of complacency and inattention.

This metaphor could well be used to warn residents of the earth about the slow rise to power of the Antichrist. Seen first as a savior by brokering peace between Israel and her enemies, this man of sin will ultimately consolidate world power and authority by threatening to punish those who do not acquiesce to his demands. By the time he is established on the world stage, it will be too late to stop him. Jesus spoke often of signs of the times (Matthew 16:3; 24:3; Mark 13:28). It behooves us to be alert and watchful as God’s end-time plans take shape.

The best way to avoid the terrible reign of the Antichrist is to be absent from the earth, safely at home with the Lord (1 Thessalonians 4:13-18).

O Worship the King​


Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom…in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.
Colossians 3:16

Recommended Reading: Colossians 3:15-17

The concepts and phrases of the classic hymn “O Worship the King” are taken from various passages of Scripture about the majesty of God. We “gratefully sing his power and his love,” for He is “our shield and defender, the Ancient of Days.” We “tell of his might and sing of his grace, whose robe is the light, whose canopy space.”

When it comes to the Bible, studying should lead to singing. As we discover God’s “bountiful care,” we should lift our hearts in thanksgiving. As we realize how our King provides for us, though we are “frail children of dust, and feeble as frail,” we should glorify His matchless love that “streams from the hills…descends to the plain, and sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.”

Whatever your preference in music, let your study of God’s Word inspire your worship. Let your Bible be the tuning fork for your soul, the melody for your day, and the source of your songs.

Your mercies how tender, how firm to the end, our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
Robert Grant

Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.

I take heed to myself, lest my heart be weighed down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that Day come on me unexpectedly. For it will come as a snare on all those who dwell on the face of the whole earth. I watch therefore, and pray always that I may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass, and to stand before the Son of Man.

The day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night. For when they say, “Peace and safety!” then sudden destruction comes upon them, as labor pains upon a pregnant woman. And they shall not escape. But I am not in darkness, so that this Day should overtake me as a thief. I am a son of light and son of the day. I am not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let me not sleep, as others do, but let me watch and be sober.

I look forward to Your return, Lord Jesus! Keep me ready and watching, I pray!

Today, even the most optimistic observers are concerned about the spiritual direction of our nation and the core of God’s people within the nation. As just one example, the concept of being “politically correct” has thoroughly infected the church, which now has become so paranoid about genderism and sexism that it depicts God as a “He or She” and the Virgin Mary as a “young woman.”
