Day Thirty Three – Look Again
Our reading today is Nehemiah 11 - Esther 10. The commentary this morning will deal solely with Esther. Esther is a book of the Bible that never names the name of God. God is not even mentioned in person; however the work, power and presence of God is clearly seen by those who have the …
The Fearful Slothful
"The slothful man saith, ‘There is a lion in the way; a lion is in the streets.’ The door turneth upon his hinges, so doth the slothful upon his bed. The slothful hideth his hand in his bosom; it grieveth him to bring it again to his mouth. The sluggard is wiser in his own …
Mary and The Master

He Who Sees Me Sees Him Who Sent Me
"Jesus cried and said, 'He that believes on Me, believes not on Me, but on Him that sent Me. And he that sees Me sees Him that sent Me. I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believes on Me should not abide in darkness. And if any man hear My words, and …
A Zeal for GOD, and Holiness
Sometimes I fear, due to what some call grace, that holiness is a forgotten quality within Christianity. We need the zeal of Phinehas in dealing with sin; starting with our own sins. Due to the deceptive, lying, personal aggrandizing of Balaam to make his own greed successful the Moabites came in with lusty pleasures to …

Acts 7:54-60 – For Confronting the sins of the People He was Stoned
"When they heard these things, they were cut to the heart, and they gnashed on him with their teeth. But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God, and said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the …

Ezekiel 44:28 (KJB) These latter chapters of Ezekiel's prophecy are of a future temple in Israel. It is often referred to by today's teachers of prophecy as the Millennial …
For the Faithful Man of God
“Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou return, then will I bring thee again, and thou shalt stand before Me: and if thou take forth the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return unto thee; but return not thou unto them. And I will make thee unto this people …
Able and Faithful
Please read 1 Chronicles 9 - 10... "...Very able men for the work of the service of the house of God." 1 Chronicles 9:13 b (KJB) This is a word that is very true of many people of God who are genuine followers of Jesus Christ in the world today. God has called, equipped, and …
