Trouble in the Land
Are there any people or any one person who is the problem when a country or land is troubled, and plagued by drought, famine, hunger, poverty, or disasters? Do these things just kind of happen?

Discipline and Straying Children
There is too much false teaching going around. Teaching which says to us everyday… Live the way you want to, do your own thing, do not worry about it… God is a loving God. He does not judge.

The Great and Awesome GOD
What happens when we do not fear God? Do we really want an answer? I will answer it. We will fear everything else, and be crippled by that fear even though there is only a perceived notion, or a shadow in the darkness ahead. BOO! This is something the LORD has been revealing to me … Continue reading The Great and Awesome GOD

When the Enemy Overpowers
Your prophets have seen for you false and deceptive visions; they have not uncovered your iniquity, to bring back your captives, but have envisioned for you false prophecies and delusions. All who pass by clap their hands at you; they hiss and shake their heads at the daughter of Jerusalem: “Is this the city that … Continue reading When the Enemy Overpowers
The Anguish and Pain
"I am the man who has seen affliction by the rod of His wrath. He has led me and made me walk in darkness and not in light. Surely He has turned His hand against me time and time again throughout the day. He has aged my flesh and my skin, and broken my bones. … Continue reading The Anguish and Pain
Waiting… for the Salvation of the LORD

The Compassion of the LORD Never Fails
Jeremiah has been lamenting the tragedies of the conquering hordes of Babylon, the captivity of Judah, the fall of Jerusalem - including the temple and the wall of the City; the famine of the people which led to unspeakable acts in order for some to eat. Yet, in the midst of his grief, and sorrow … Continue reading The Compassion of the LORD Never Fails
When God Purposes a Thing
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 … Continue reading When God Purposes a Thing
In the Day of His Anger
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 … Continue reading In the Day of His Anger
In the days of Affliction
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 … Continue reading In the days of Affliction
Troubled
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, … Continue reading Troubled
Sorrows
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 … Continue reading Sorrows
Promise or Purpose
I guess this is a thing that I have got onto as I have read and studied Jeremiah's prophecy. That there are too many people who profess Christianity who are only open to hearing the "good" promises of God. Does anyone want to hear the words of "Promise" which purpose to judge the wicked; to … Continue reading Promise or Purpose
