It seems that, sometimes at least, we; yes even Christians, put terrible events and tragedies up to chance. Chance says that these things just happen. I must admit that this troubles me, but I think it troubles me more to believe that these things happen by mere chance; when they cannot be chance. Looking today …
There may be some; maybe many who profess to know God and say something like, "God does not get angry..." I have heard some say, "Jesus never got angry"; and that statement completely shows their ignorance. Does God get angry? For those who love Jesus; does Jesus, did Jesus ever get angry? Well let us …
No one today likes to talk about judgment or affliction. I do not like talking about it, preaching about it, and I really get no joy from reading Jeremiah; or any of the prophets; or preaching their writings and prophecies of darkness and gloom; but I must not neglect the counsel of the LORD. The …
Do you have troubles, or is your life without any kind of trouble? Is that a silly question? Probably so. Everyone has their own share of trouble, heart ache, pain, sorrow, and grief. If not right now; sometime, and probably soon. Jerusalem was overthrown, Jeremiah the prophet which wept for the city and the people, …
We have been looking at the prophecy of Jeremiah for the month of September, but today we get into the Laments of Jeremiah. There are many laments in the prophecy, yet this book of the Bible we begin looking at today are of his sorrow as he saw the word of God fulfilled. The grief …
Do you find yourself to be a sinner? Have you sinned against God? There are some who would answer "No" to both of those questions. Sadly, though, there is no salvation for such a person. It is possible however for one to experience deliverance from iniquity, forgiveness of sin. Hear the prophet Jeremiah speak the …
“Flee, save your lives! And be like the juniper in the wilderness. For because you have trusted in your works and your treasures, you also shall be taken. And Chemosh shall go forth into captivity, his priests and his princes together. And the plunderer shall come against every city; no one shall escape. The valley …
Before we get to the verses for the day let us consider what has led up to this point. Jerusalem has fallen, the temple destroyed, the poor of the land, along with the prophet Jeremiah have been left in the land by Nebuzaradan (39:11-18). The people have come to Jeremiah asking him to pray to …
You are a Christian; have you ever felt like God does not speak to you? I think I may know why; and if you are willing to hear continue reading this post. I think for some it may be enlightening; and for others old news. I want us first to consider this passage from the …
The prophets words, God's words have been judgmental, even harsh; however here we can get a glimpse of a brighter future, and of the bigger picture; the picture which God always has in view. This is a word of promise. When you think about it; what good is a promise if there are not moments …
Let me first of all on this 11th day of September remind all to be in prayer for the people of Texas, Louisiana, and surrounding cities of Texas. Also pray for the people of the whole State of Florida. These States have been hit hard by natural disasters. Our verses for today are... “The heart …
These post are about GOD; His love, and yes His hate. Maybe it would be nicer to say, His wrath. His wrath is what He pours out on what He hates. For His children He hates any sin that is in us. He hates my sin. He hates your sin. He is working in me …
“Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘Thus says the LORD God of Israel: “Every bottle shall be filled with wine.” ’ “And they will say to you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every bottle will be filled with wine?’ “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will …
Under the reign of Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, the nation of Israel was divided into two nations (1 Kings 12). Known as the southern kingdom of Judah, made up of only two tribes, and the northern kingdom of Israel. The southern kingdom had a few kings which the LORD spoke kindly of, and said, …
"There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God. For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto, more than I? For God giveth to …
