“For the Lord himself shall come down from heaven, in the commandment, and in the voice of an archangel [in the commanding, and in the voice of the archangel], and in the trump of God; and the dead men that be in Christ, shall rise again first. Afterward we that live, that be left, shall…

“No Dread, No Fear” ( Psalm 56:4, WYC ) by Carley Evans
‘What people do to me, I shall not dread or fear for I hope and trust in God,’ sings the psalmist. “In God I shall praise my words; I hoped in God, I shall not dread what thing flesh, or man, shall do to me. (Yea, I shall praise God with my words; for I…
“That Dread Of The Lord” ( Psalm 103: 17, WYC ) by Carley Evans
Seems such a paradox that we should expect and obtain mercy from a God we dread. “But the mercy of the Lord is from without beginning, and till into without end; on men dreading him.” Our fear of the Lord might consume us if we did not know He desires mercy rather than judgment. We…
METAL MAN WALKING Preview
A short preview of my novel, METAL MAN WALKING.
“Feel The Same Thing Together” ( Romans 12: 14 – 16, WYC ) by Carley Evans
Essentially, Paul calls us to humility. “14 Bless ye men that pursue you; bless ye, and do not ye curse; 15 for to joy with men that joy, for to weep with men that weep. 16 Feel ye the same thing together; not understanding high things, but consenting to meek things[Feeling the same thing together; not savouring, or…
“Dread Nothing” ( Acts 20: 24, WYC, KJV, HCSB, NIV ) by Carley Evans
Paul is warned by the Holy Spirit to expect hardships and prison. He writes: “But I dread nothing of these, neither I make my life preciouser than myself, so that I end my course [the while I end, or fulfill, my course], and the ministry of the word, which I received of the Lord Jesus,…

Still promoting my novel — this is a quick, good read; a touching story of a man’s struggle for survival and meaning.
“That Less Famous Verse” ( John 3:17, WYC ) by Carley Evans
Not for judgment — God the Father does not send Jesus His Son into the world for judgment purposes. In fact, that’s completely unnecessary for the world stands condemned already; judgment has been conferred; we are all doomed. I am convinced if we start with this undeniable truth — that Jesus is a Savior and…
“Swift To Hear” ( James 1:19, WYC ) by Carley Evans
Here James offers one of those tidbits of wisdom that might define my life if I would but follow it diligently — “Know ye, my brethren most loved, be each man swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to wrath;” Listening is key — Open my ears and shut my mouth, and attend…
“Into Good” ( Romans 15: 2, WYC ) by Carley Evans
Paul and Jesus speak often of brothers, but also of neighbours. Brothers, I presume, are fellow believers. Neighbours may or may not be Christians. Yet, Paul writes to the church at Rome: “Each of us please to his neighbour in good [into good], to edification.” So we are to please our neighbours — whether or…
“Called Into Liberty Only” ( Galatians 5: 13, WYC ) by Carley Evans
One of my all-time favorite movie titles is “LOST IN TRANSLATION” written and directed by Sofia Coppola and starring Bill Murray and Scarlet Johannson. This title — and the film — say so much about communicating meaning from one language to another. Take Paul’s statement here in his letter to the Galatians: “[Forsooth, brethren, ye…
“Be United” ( 1 Corinthians 1:10, HCSB ) by Carley Evans
Paul writes to the church at Corinth – and to us: “Now I urge you, brothers, in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree in what you say, that there be no divisions among you, and that you be united with the same understanding and the same conviction.” Obviously Paul…
