He Will Sustain
Isa 43:2 When you pass through the waters, I will be with you and through the rivers, they shall not overflow you: when you walk through the fire, you shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon you. It seems improbable that after all Israel had done; their abandonment and disobedience of God’s […]

The Journey
On the heels of the Red Sea crossing, the Children of Israel experienced a perplexing place. They walked for three days without fresh water. It caused them to question Moses’ leadership; his God-appointment being held in contempt. When they finally came to Marah, the pool of water was bitter and they could not drink it. […]

Resurrection Sunday
It was a borrowed tomb. In consideration of our day, Jesus did not use the tomb for very long. The place was very close to a hill they called Golgotha. It was a place where a wine press was placed in a small vineyard. The time of the Lord’s death also made it a very […]

Praise
The scriptural setting is hidden, yet profound. Jeroboam has rebelled against the Lord. He has surrounded Judah in front and from behind. The Bible says that Judah was being ambushed on both sides with no way out. That is when the king of Judah led them with a new strategy: they sounded the trumpets and […]

Stay True
Judg 9:11 But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? Judges chapter 9 is an exercise in the failing of human government. The text above is a microcosm of what our position should be in regards to King Jesus. […]

Simple Church
It was a church outing on a farm that I lost my way. Being the independent little boy I was, no boundary seemed sufficient to keep me close. I remember racing through the field finding berries; chasing rabbits or whatever moved in the grass. But I strayed too far from the group and the sun […]

Because of Him
NLT: Due. 9:4 After the Lord your God has done this for you, don’t say in your hearts, “The Lord has given us this land because we are such good people.” Oh my! The Lord knew that blessings often distort the position of the receiver. The disposition of humility is not a given. It is […]

Guarding My Words
Mat 12:36-37 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. The “blame-game” may very well be the oldest in the world. Adam blamed Eve […]

Save Yourselves
Heb 6:4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, Heb 6:5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, Heb 6:6 If they shall fall away, to renew them […]
