Children are special. It does not matter if they are "special needs" children or just as bright and healthy as one of us would like them to be. They are special, and need adult guidance, care, supervision, leadership, and discipline. All of those things. One day when Jesus was with His disciples some children were …

A Doctrine of Death
There are teachings of men and religions which are doctrines of death; not life. Teachings which bind in sin, and offers no freedom from sin, is a doctrine of death. Of course when we live in a society and culture of sin; who knows what is sin? Who knows what is right and/or wrong. According …
Remarkable Faith
There is a need for genuine faith. The faith that trust the Lord, and no one, or nothing else. The faith that a Christian has is not based on assumptions, or myth, but substance and evidence provided us by God Himself (Hebrews 11:1). The verses we look at today tell us of a Gentile woman …
Offended by Jesus
In the United States of America people are easily offended. I will probably offend someone with this post today; but that is on your shoulders, not mine. We have a Constitutional right of Free Speech. That right, however, does not mean that we can say hurtful, evil, things that will cause harm to others. It …
The Coming Betrayal
Have you ever felt betrayed? It can be from a friend, family member, work place employee, or even a spouse. Betrayal is not pleasant to experience. Have you ever sensed that it was coming? I am not talking about a paranoia; but rather a reasoning thought that someone is about to leave you with the …
Can You Trust the LORD When You Have Nothing?
"Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will …

Not Said in Vain
There are many phrases used throughout the prophecy of Ezekiel. "Son of man" how the LORD speaks to Ezekiel, an endearing term for him; another phrase used a little less often is "They, [we],or [you] shall know that I am the LORD". That is the one to which I write today. I have noted that …
The LORD’S Vengeance
"For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of …
Iniquity Sought; None Found
"Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have …
Vanity of Empty Preaching
"Thus saith the LORD of hosts, Hearken not unto the words of the prophets that prophesy unto you: they make you vain: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the LORD. They say still unto them that despise Me, The LORD hath said, Ye shall have peace; …
Nations and Kings
"At what instant I shall speak concerning a nation, and concerning a kingdom, to pluck up, and to pull down, and to destroy it; if that nation, against whom I have pronounced, turn from their evil, I will repent of the evil that I thought to do unto them. And at what instant I shall …
That the Kingdoms of the Earth may Know…
"Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that Thou art the LORD, even Thou only." Isaiah 37:20 (KJV) These words are from the prayer of King Hezekiah, after he has received letter from Sennacherib General of the Assyrian army who has been …
The Sun, The Wind, and The Water
"The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to his place where he arose. The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits. All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; …
The Wicked and The Righteous
"The wicked flee when no man pursueth: but the righteous are bold as a lion." Proverbs 28:1 (KJV) The one who is guilty of a crime is constantly looking over their shoulders to check, and see if anyone is pursuing them. That is the wicked. Wickedness goes further, though, than just a guilty conscience. The …
The Hater’s Tongue
"A lying tongue hateth those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth worketh ruin." Proverbs 26:28 (KJV) There is much said about "Hate speech" in today's culture here in the United States of America. "Hate speech" seems to be a code term used to try and convince people that if you do not …
