10 April 2009 Biblical Studies

“Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world. They are from the world; therefore they speak from the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God. Whoever knows God listens to us; whoever is not from God does not listen to us. By this we know the Spirit of truth and the spirit of error.” — 1 John 4:4–6

17 March 2009 Biblical Studies

“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already.” — 1 John 4:1–3

4 March 2009 Biblical Studies

I find it difficult to have confidence before God. Here I am, a puny speck of a man, taking up a very small amount of space on this huge blue rock that is hurdling through space at thousands of miles per hour. Yet, if my heart does not condemn me, then I can somehow stand with confidence before the one who created all of that.
