Read John chapter 9 VERSE: John 9:25–He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know, I was blind, but now I see!” TRUTH: This man had been healed by Jesus and now all the religious leaders were bothered by it. They wanted to find a way to question and accuse Jesus. As they were questioning this man, they began asking him a lot of theologically based questions and the man didn’t know the answer to them. He only knew what he had experienced himself. At the heart of it, this is witnessing. We are witnessing when we share with others what we…

Read Genesis chapter 20 VERSE: Genesis 20:6–Then God said to him in the dream, “Yes, I know you did this with a clear conscience, and so I have kept you from sinning against me.” TRUTH: Abimelek, the king of this area, was a godless man. Abraham says so later in this chapter, yet here we have this godless man being addressed by God Almighty. More than that, God explains to Abimelek that He has kept Abimelek from sinning in this particular case. How can we think that God doesn’t care about those who don’t follow Him. God cares about all people and He desires to see all people come to…

Read Deuteronomy chapter 19 VERSE: Deuteronomy 19:15–One witness is not enough to convict anyone accused of any crime or offense they may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses. TRUTH: God established the justice system in such a way that a person couldn’t be convicted based on just one witness alone. This was to keep people from just lying about a situation or preventing a “he said, she said” situation. When we are making decisions, do we get the opinion of multiple Godly people? Having a couple of people give their advice or their opinion helps to keep our perspective where it…

VERSE: Hebrews 12:1–Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. TRUTH: We are not alone. Every decision that we make is witnessed by the saints who have gone on before; all the people listed in chapter 11 who lived by faith are watching. As a result, we are to throw off the sin that is surrounding us and which is threatening to slow us down and trip us up. We cannot run this race to the best of our ability…

VERSE: Ezekiel 3:18–“When I say to a wicked person, ‘You will surely die’ and you do not warn them or speak out to dissuade them from their evil ways in order to save their life, that wicked person will die for their sins, and I will hold you accountable for their blood.” TRUTH: God, speaking here, reminds us that He will judge evil. People can talk about God’s love, which is abundant, but God is also just and righteous. He will judge evil. Plus, He will hold us accountable for warning people about God’s judgment. We cannot turn our backs in apathy toward our fellow man and leave them in…
