We have been going through the Gospel of John picking out the passages with “verily, verily” (also rendered “truly, truly” or “I tell you the truth”, etc., in other versions) that John recorded Jesus saying. I am searching out the truths that Jesus taught and practically applying these principles and lessons to my own lifeContinue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: c.8, v. 34″

6 Relationship Principles of Jesus
There is a book on my shelf called, “The Relationship Principles of Jesus” by Tom Holladay. It has been on my shelf for about a year. In full disclosure, I bought it from a thrift store, but it is definitely worth more than what I paid for it. Upon reading some of it, I realizedContinue reading “6 Relationship Principles of Jesus”
Be in Agreement with One Another
In our “One Another” Series, we are exploring several passages that help us discover the fullness of Christ’s commands toward each other as the Body of Christ. When we have intentional, intimate relationships with one another, we can fully live out what God intended for His people. And many of the blessings God has givenContinue reading “Be in Agreement with One Another”
Rationalizing Your Actions
There was an article that I read this morning that really resonated with me. It is convicting, humbling, and edifying. And usually, I would not post a “reaction” article to something I read in anything other than the Bible, but I think that at times information needs to be shared among each other in theContinue reading “Rationalizing Your Actions”

John’s “Verily” Series: c. 6 v. 47
Welcome back to another “cup of coffee” length post about Jesus’ “Verily, verily” statements as recorded by John. As I have said before, I believe these statements were intentionally written beginning “Amen, amen” to draw specific attention to the lessons being taught by Jesus. Of course, all of the teachings of Jesus are important. However,Continue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: c. 6 v. 47″
Change in Your Lens
I just woke up from a dream that the earth imploded sending me to a different planet. My only objective once realizing I am in another place is to find my guys, especially, for some reason, my youngest son. So go ahead and read this, analyze it, and tell me what you think about it.Continue reading “Change in Your Lens”
Love One Another
There are so many statements in the Bible that state what we are to do with or to “one another”. The first and foremost of these commands is to “Love one another.” John 13:34 states: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you alsoContinue reading “Love One Another”
John’s “Verily” Series: c. 6, v. 32
Here we go again. The “Verily, verily” series that I have been learning about. I am trying to get through the book of John searching out the statements that Jesus made beginning with “Verily, verily” (as in the KJV). In other translations, the statements are begun by the words “truly, truly” or “I tell youContinue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: c. 6, v. 32″
John’s “Verily” Series: c.6, vs.26, 27
Welcome back to another post that focuses on the “Verily, verily” statements found in the Gospel of John. In John 6:22-59, we have four “verily, verily” statements. Jesus was focusing on one main idea in four different ways, and there is a shift halfway through them. We will find in this passage what exactly JesusContinue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: c.6, vs.26, 27″
