Work in progress. "Pearl" trader inspired by Matthew 7:6.
Another pearl for today: The Lord's people are not inherently righteous. We need His forgiveness, and should always be receptive to the Holy Spirit examining our motives.

Pearl for today: The Holy Spirit lives in the physical bodies of the Lord's people. Accordingly, we should strive to treat our bodies as holy places.

Another pearl for today: Unrepentant, hypocritical, sinful behavior by someone who claims to be a believer should not be tolerated among the Lord's people.

The Lord's people today have the Gospel to understand what Jesus communicated to His disciples. However, we can still misunderstand what He communicates to us, particularly when it does not fit our expectations and biases. We need help from the Holy Spirit to open our eyes.

Another pearl for today: God calls some of His people earlier in life than others to partake of His grace. Wether a life-long believer or a new one, we are all rewarded with eternal life.

Another pearl for today: The Lord's people understand from scripture that embodying the values of His kingdom means living justly and rightly.

Another pearl for today: The Lord's people are part of His eternal kingdom. The King is the Son of God who came in the flesh (as we celebrate on Christmas) in order to be our Savior. He rules in our hearts now, and will also rule forever.

Another pearl for today: God's promises to His people are sure and steadfast. He fulfills His word in His timing and way, as seen in the fulfillment of the Davidic Covenant through Solomon and ultimately through Jesus Christ.

Rather than striving for worldly greatness, the Lord's people simply trust in Jesus and serve Him by serving others. We are to: use any power, influence, or resources to serve others; have humility and meekness; and value loving, the way He loved us, more than earthly things.

Pearl for today: The Lord's people know that it is impossible for human beings to do anything that is good enough to secure their eternal life with God in heaven. Only God Himself can (and has) made this possible.

Pearl for today: The Lord's people can learn from the lesson of David's mistake and correction: Seeking the Lord first and obeying Him is the wisest way to serve Him.
December 21, 2025 at 11:43 AM
Pearl for today: The Lord's people understand that He wants us to serve Him His way, not ours. "Serving" Him in ways that ignore His specific instructions does not please Him.
December 20, 2025 at 12:56 PM
Another pearl for today: The Lord's people get to be part of His kingdom. We accept this gift from Him for us like a child would.
December 19, 2025 at 10:59 AM
Pearl for today: The Lord's people know He's is sovereign over everything, ultimately even eartlhly rivals. We seek the Lord first and do what is right in His eyes in how we deal with our enemies.
December 18, 2025 at 3:35 PM
Pearl for today: The Lord's people can learn from David's example. Political violence is not something the Lord's people choose to perpetrate or encourage.
December 17, 2025 at 3:18 PM
Pearl for today: David's longing for water from this particular source symbolizes a deeper yearning for peace and restoration, and reflects spiritual thirst for God.
December 16, 2025 at 2:15 PM
Pearl for today: The Lord's people understand from His Word that marriage is His original design for humanity, not a mere tradition or custom.
December 15, 2025 at 11:36 AM
Pearl for today: Religious works will not justify us before God. Acknowledging our sin and humbly asking for forgiveness through Christ is the only way.
December 14, 2025 at 9:09 AM
Pearl for today: The Son of God has already invaded this world of sin, firstly to brake sin's grip over His people.
December 13, 2025 at 8:39 AM
Pearl for today: The Lord's people recognize Jesus is Lord. The seven "signs" in the Gospel of John provide us a crescendo of evidence.
December 12, 2025 at 2:12 PM
Pearl for today: Deliberately and continually ignoring or avoiding the Lord's will ultimately does not lead anywhere good.
December 12, 2025 at 1:39 AM
Pearl for today: Come what may, the Lord's people trust in Him and seek His guidance first in our actions and decisions.
