"Thus did Moses: according to all that the LORD commanded him, so did he." Exodus 40:16 (KJV) In the reading of Exodus 39 - 40 this morning I noticed the phrase "...As the LORD commanded Moses" 14 times. It is important for the Christian to realize, and act on what God has said. It is …

Evil to Good
And Joseph said unto them, Fear not: for am I in the place of God? But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive. Now therefore fear ye not: I will nourish you, and your little ones. …
Let Me Go
And He said, Let Me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. Genesis 32:26 (KJV) The LORD is speaking to Jacob. Jacob has hold of the Man with whom he is wrestling. Now it is an awkward thing to think that a man could wrestle …
A Lesson in Accounting
And he believed in the LORD; and He counted it to him for righteousness. Genesis 15:6 (KJV) I am not an accountant, neither do I do well in mathematics. I need lessons in accounting more than some. There is something I do know about Genesis 15:6 though; maybe not as much as a theologian or another …
Let Us Be Warned by Cain, Balaam, and Korah
“Woe unto them! For they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core.” Jude 1:11 (KJV) Verse 8 of Jude explains who the “Them” are of verse 11. “Filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of …

…The Precious Blood of Christ…
“And if you call on the Father, who without partiality judges according to each one’s work, conduct yourselves throughout the time of your stay here in fear; knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver and gold, from your aimless conduct received by tradition from your fathers, but with the precious blood …
Praying
Even the apostle Paul; maybe I should say, “The apostle Paul” needed prayer just as any of us do. Prayer must not be something we do only when we have an emergency situation. We “…ought always to pray and not to faint” (Luke 18:1). Sometimes we get requests for praying for specific personal needs from …
Come Out, Be Separate
Yokes are a farming tool from years past where the farmer or wagoneer even would place two animals; for a yoke, it would most generally have been oxen. The cart, wagon, or plow was usually teamed with an equally powered pair of the animals. Consider this as we look at the following passage of Scripture. …
Explanation of All Things
And with many such parables spake He the word unto them, as they were able to hear it. But without a parable spake He not unto them: and when they were alone, He expounded all things to His disciples. Mark 4:33-34 (KJV) It has been said, speaking of the parables of Jesus, that, “A parable …
The LORD Will Not Do Iniquity
“Woe to her that is filthy and polluted, to the oppressing city! She obeyed not the voice; she received not correction; she trusted not in the LORD; she drew not near to her God. Her princes within her are roaring lions; her judges are evening wolves; they gnaw not the bones till the morrow. Her …
The LORD Reveals His Secrets
“Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the people not be afraid? Shall there be evil in a city, and the LORD hath not done it? Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but He revealeth His secret unto His servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord …
I Will Not Leave You Wholly Unpunished
The people of God: Jacob and his descendants are never without the discipline [correction] of God. That correction shows, in fact, that they are the children of God. The same is true of those who are genuine Christians; those who have been regenerated through the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ the Son of …
A Time for Mourning
Esther is a book which does not even mention the name of God; the GOD of Israel; the LORD God of hosts. Yet when you have eyes to see, and ears to hear you will see Him fully at work in the lives of His people and the nations. There have been, and are protests/riots …
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? I think there are a lot of things we need to consider. One is, does that nation or people group …
