Psalm 2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!” 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them. 5 Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying, 6 “But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.” 7 “I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. 8 ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession. 9 ‘You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.'” 10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth. 11 Worship the LORD with reverence And rejoice with trembling. 12 Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
Faithful Pastors; Faithful Parents

Colossians 1:7-8
just as you learned it from Epaphras, our beloved fellow bond-servant, who is a faithful servant of Christ on your behalf, (8) and he also informed us of your love in the Spirit.
[Note: There is a textual problem in verse 7. The NASB translation reads “on our behalf” (ie on Paul and Timothy’s behalf). This translation would mean that Epaphras was Paul’s representative to the Colossians. The KJV, NKJV, and ESV agree with the translation as it is above. The only difference between the two textually is one letter – hemon vs humon. I have chosen to follow the KJV textual tradition in this case because of the textual evidence in its favor.] Continue reading

Faithful as Samuel

1Samuel 2:11-12, 17-18: Then Elkanah went to his home at Ramah. But the boy [Samuel] ministered to the LORD before Eli the priest. Now the sons of Eli were worthless men; they did not know the Lord. . . . Thus the sin of the young men was very great before the LORD, for the men despised the offering of the LORD. Now Samuel was ministering before the LORD, as a boy wearing a linen ephod.

Colossians 1:6
The gospel which has come to you, just as in all the world also it is constantly bearing fruit and increasing, even as it has been doing in you also since the day you heard of it and understood the grace of God in truth;
Paul continues his discussion of the Gospel in this verse by commending it in two ways. First, he speaks of the expansion of the Gospel into every part of the known world. The Good News is not limited by Continue reading
