God has power over the living and the dead
"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law -- a man's enemies will be the members of his own household.
"Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughte...

Be on guard against the soothsayers
As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, 4 'Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?' Jesus said to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and will deceive many.

Be courageous and speak His Word
"So do not be afraid of them. There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known. What I tell you in the dark, speak in the daylight; what is whispered in your ear, proclaim from the roofs. Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. Rather, be afraid of the one who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold...

"Since we have now been justified by His blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through Him!

Not only is this so, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconcilia...

"Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord."
- Ephesians 6:4
I am amazed at the many men who die and their obituary indicates that they left to mourn numerous children. For the most part these children are out of wedlock. It is true that after the creation, "...God blessed them, and God said to them, 'Be fruitful and multiply, and...

The Spirit ignites us
"When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them. Some, ho...

Disciples bear witness
"Therefore it is necessary to choose one of the men who have been with us the whole time the Lord Jesus went in and out among us, beginning from John's baptism to the time when Jesus was taken up from us. For one of these must become a witness with us of his resurrection. So they proposed two men: Joseph called Barsabbas (also known as Justus) and Matthias. Then they prayed, 'Lord, you know everyo...

Faith helps us to live through setbacks
Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the 12, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"
But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it".
A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors...
