Daily Nugget: 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. 18 And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates [...]

Revelation 5
Daily Nugget: With the real Church raptured up to heaven, other events will then happen around God’s throne. A “book” will be presented. There will be a big question concerning who will be able to open the book. John wept because there were none found worthy to open it (vs. 3), when he was allowed [...]
Revelation 4
Daily Nugget: Next to the coming to the earth of Jesus, His death and resurrection, and plan of salvation this chapter signals an event that is a most anticipated promise given to believers. Every Christian from the time of the first church anxiously awaited the event that is described in this verse. Revelation 4:1 announces [...]
Revelation 3
Daily Nugget: John’s warning to churches of his time and the revealing of future church ages continues in this chapter. He concludes by discussing the three remaining churches. A church that was spiritually dying, the church at Sardis. They may have had the word “Church” on the sign out front, but they had departed from [...]
Revelation 2
Daily Nugget: Messages to four different churches were penned in this chapter.

III John
Daily Nugget: Every church has its good and bad members. The church that John was writing to in III John had several of both categories I am sure. However, the apostle wrote of three members in particular in his letter. Two of the members were good representations of what a Christian should be. Gaius was [...]
II Corinthians 10
II Corinthians 10 Daily Nugget: Paul, like so many Christians even today, faced some opposition from other Christians. Some in the churches that he spoke at questioned his apostleship, and others accused him of walking in the flesh (vs. 2). No matter the accusation, Paul chose not to fight back. He chose not to fight [...]
II Corinthians 3
Daily Nugget: Many doubted Paul’s apostleship. He inquired if they needed further epistles (letters) from the other apostles to verify his credibility (vs. 1), as was apparently done before. The preacher went on to say that there was better proof than any letter right in the Corinthian church (vs. 2) that he was being used [...]
Romans 16
Daily Nugget: As Paul concludes his letter to the Roman church, he spent what we recognize as a whole chapter remembering Christians he knew in the ministry. He named 28 individuals and remarked what they had meant to him or how they had been useful in the ministry. They were more than acquaintances to him. [...]
