“The preacher who does not mix with people will never make much of a preacher;” at least that has been said or thought by many. One thing needs to be understood by many preachers of the 21st century; if a preacher has been called by God to preach the Word of God, then we just …

Day Fifty Seven – Judgment By Our Sin
I find it very sad that so many have tried to change the definition of Biblical sin. According to God’s Word – the Bible – sin is a transgression of God’s law. Sin is failure to measure up to God’s glory; His requirements of the law. Nowadays, we hear things like, “Sin is whatever keeps …
Day Fifty Six – The Word of GOD Prospers
There are many times there is debate over the meaning of God’s Word. Even Christians, at times, debate over whether something is “Literal” or “Figurative” or allegorical. For me if God was speaking literal about the first coming of Jesus, and He came just as He has proclaimed; then when He speaks of the second …
Day Fifty Five – The Holy One of Israel
There is one phrase which keeps coming up in the prophecy of Isaiah. It is more than a phrase, it is a statement of the character of God. In Isaiah, as well as in other parts of Scripture we hear of “the Holy One of Israel”. It is a good term, a great reference to …
Day Fifty Four – Jesus Is The Cornerstone
It has been said, that in the building of a building with stone that a “cornerstone” is needed. The size of the cornerstone determines the size of the building, the shape of the building and so forth. So without a cornerstone there is not much direction. Our scheduled Scripture reading this morning is Isaiah 25 …
Day Fifty Three – My People, Work of My Hands, and Mine Inheritance
The Scripture reading for today is Isaiah 12 through 24. Be blessed. What is taking place in the Middle East today with the nations of the world trying to bring peace to Israel is a part of prophecy; and God still forever reigns, and is accomplishing His purposes in this world. There is also coming …

Day Fifty Two – The LORD Is Salvation
Our reading today is Song of Solomon 7 through Isaiah 11. The reading of Isaiah is interesting, full of Messianic prophecies, and hope for the rest of the world. The language toward Judah and Israel is quite strong and warns them of their need to return to right worship of YHWH [the LORD]. The prophet …
Day Forty Seven – …Mercy, Mercy, and Mercy…
Our Scripture reading today is Psalm 134 through Psalm 146 near finishing the reading of the Psalms, and by reading 13 Psalms today. There is much mention of the term “Mercy” in the Bible; and in Psalm 136 it is framed in every verse; with the phrase, “For His mercy endureth forever”. And so it …

Day Forty Six – City of Peace
The city of Jerusalem, near the East shore of the Mediterranean Sea, is a city which is the source of much conflict; yet its name means, “city of peace” or “teaching peace”. Yet Jerusalem has no peace. It is a source of much conflict because there are three religions which want to claim it as …
Day Forty Five – The Enemy of GOD, Is My Enemy
Today marks the halfway point for our ninety day challenge for reading the Scriptures. I pray you are following along, and that God is greatly blessing you and drawing you nearer to Himself. Of all things for me to write about. Enemies? I really feel as though I have no enemies within the human race; …

Day Forty Three – Home and GOD
To me, “Home” is a pleasant word, but much more than that, a place of shelter, and warmth. Home is a place of family; the place you lay your head at night. The place you dwell, and abide. In a ship sort of way, home is the anchor of your life. You can leave home …
Day Forty One – Wings to Fly Away; Wings Of Shelter
Men have thought of flying for all times and generations. We have watched the birds of the air, and wondered what it would be like to fly through the air and the skies. Of course in the age we live now there is not too many people who have not experienced flight within the confines …

Day Forty – Songs For The Sons of Korah
The Scripture reading for today is Psalms 42 - 55. Psalms 42 - 49 are titled as a song for the sons of Korah; with the exception of Psalm 43. My personal thought on that Psalm is that it is probably included as a song for the sons of Korah. In Numbers 16 while Israel …
Day Thirty Nine – The LORD, Our Help
Have you ever cried out for “Help”? You found yourself in a very needy situation, fear was creeping in, and you find yourself overwhelmed by the moment? I have no shame or fear in admitting that I have. I am a very needy individual; and when I realize I need help I will call out …
Day Thirty Seven – The Hymn Book of the Bible
First, let me clear some things up. When we speak of the “Book of Psalms” it is used in the plural. If we speak of one Psalm it is “Psalm”. Such as Psalm 1, Psalm 50, you get the idea. Psalms has no chapters, they are referred to as Psalms. There are 150 Psalms in …
