The first thing I notice when I walk out onto the back porch this morning is the glisten of the frost as the light reflects from the “street” light. You read that right. There is a “street” light situated between my back yard and the neighbor’s yard behind my house. It makes little sense toContinue reading “This Morning”

Seeing a Fuller Picture of a Verse
John 6:29 Jesus answered, “The work of God is this; to believe the one he has sent.” Do you have a memory verse this week? One of those verse that you read and say, I need to learn this so that I can recite it without reading it at times? Right now, my verse isContinue reading “Seeing a Fuller Picture of a Verse”
John’s “Verily” Series: c.8, v. 34
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″
John’s “Verily” Series: c.6, v.53
Welcome back to the “Verily, verily” series in the book of John. This passage found in John 6:52-58. Remember that these “verily, verily” statements as recorded by John are the teachings of Jesus as He we about the area proclaiming the news that the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.

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″
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″
John’s “Verily” Series: ch.5 vs.24,25
I hope you have had an amazing week. It has been a busy, busy week. I think that Spring is that season of the year where many begin to “wake up” from the hibernation of the cold winter. We begin to perform our “To Do” list that we have been thinking about during the winterContinue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: ch.5 vs.24,25″
John’s “Verily” Series: John ch5 v19
The “Verily, verily” statement in this verse is “Truly, truly, I say to you, the Son can do nothing of his own accord, but only what he sees the Father doing. For whatever the Father does, that the Son does likewise. (ESV)” As I said last week, the big idea of this passage is thatContinue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: John ch5 v19″

Welcome back to another installment of what I have named the “Verily, verily” Series. Here, I go through the “Verily, verily” statements that Jesus made as recorded in the Gospel of John. There are 25 of them, and I go one by one through them. Some of them go with another, and for those, IContinue reading “John’s “Verily” Series: ch. 5 v. 19-30″
