Exploring the Reliability of the Gospels

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read, Friday, 4/4/25

Jesus said to His disciples, “All this I have spoken while still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.” John 14:25-26 NIV

the Advocate: Gr Paracletos, one called alongside to help.

Jesus promised the Holy Spirit would guide the apostles in remembering His teachings, promising both divine inspiration and historical accuracy. This is evidence that the Gospels are authentic and reliable.

Read more about the reliability and trustworthiness of the 4 Gospels in Bruce Cooper’s post, The Books and Letters of the New Testament Series – Part 1 of 3.

Historical Consequences of Cursing Israel

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read Verses for Meditation, 4/3/25

“The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you. “I will make you into a great nation,
    and I will bless you;
I will make your name great,
    and you will be a blessing.
I will bless those who bless you,
    and whoever curses you I will curse;” Genesis 12: 1-3 NIV

Commentary: The unparalleled blessing of God on the United States is due in part to her longstanding commitment to Israel. History is litered with nations – ancient and modern – that have suffered, declined, or disappeared altogether after failing to bless the Jews (including the Canaanites, Philistines, Amalekites, Edomites, Assyria, Babylon, Greece under Alexander the Great, the Roman Empire, Spain following the Spanish Inquisition, many modern Arab nations, the former Soviet Union, and Nazi Germany. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

“You will keep in perfect peace
    those whose minds are steadfast,
    because they trust in you.” Isaiah 26:3 NIV

Understanding Ezekiel’s Prophecy of the Good Shepherd

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read

 “The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel … 4 You have not strengthened the weak or healed the sick or bound up the injured. You have not brought back the strays or searched for the lost. … 11 “‘For this is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will search for my sheep and look after them. 12 As a shepherd looks after his scattered flock when he is with them, so will I look after my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places where they were scattered … ” Ezekiel 34:1, 2, 4, 11, 12 NIV Read full chapter

This prophecy began to be fulfilled when Jesus was born in Bethlehem. As the Good Shepherd, Jesus ministered to the crowds, who were like wandering sheep without a shepherd. Jesus not only cares for the sheep, He laid down His life for them. (Jeremiah Study Bible Notes)

“I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays down his life for the sheep.” John 10:11 NIV

“For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves” Colossians 1:13 NIV

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read Friday’s Verse, 3/28/25 NIV

“For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers,  neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Romans 8:38-39 NIV Read full chapter

Trust in the Lord: Renew Your Strength

Cindy Dawson

1-minute read Monday’s Verse, 3/24/25

“The Lord is the everlasting God,
    the Creator of all the earth.
He never grows weak or weary.
    No one can measure the depths of his understanding.
He gives power to the weak
    and strength to the powerless.
Even youths will become weak and tired,
    and young men will fall in exhaustion.
But those who trust in the Lord will find new strength.
    They will soar high on wings like eagles.
They will run and not grow weary.
    They will walk and not faint.” Isaiah 40:28-31 NLT
