God Said It
And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying, And I, behold, I establish My covenant with you, and with your seed after you; and with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of …
The Anti-Christ Doctrine
“For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. This is a deceiver and an antichrist.

To Reconcile Man to God
O how the race of Adam needs to be reconciled to God. My how lost can a race of people get, and by lost I mean astray from God, His word, His Son, and His Spirit. He did say, “My Spirit shall not always strive with man” (Genesis 6:3). God is the one who stepped …
Set Free

The LORD’S Goodness, Mercy and Love
What do you think of when a roaring, howling, powerful storm comes; with flashes, and bolts of lightning, and sounds of crashing, rolling thunder? It is a fearful thing when we see these things. Many people have just recently survived such storms, suffering great loss, and we pray for you, and offer condolences to those …

In the Day of Adversity Consider
Days of prosperity often cause us to be joyful. Prosperity is not always dealing with gold, silver, precious jewels, fine homes, and fine cars. Prosperity can just as well mean, a place to live, protected from the elements; food on the table, clothes on your back, and a wonderful family who loves you; and realizing …
The Temple Rebuilt
These events take place following the 70 years which Jeremiah had prophesied (Jeremiah 25:11). Ezra is God’s man for returning to Jerusalem to rebuild the temple which was razed by the Babylonians and carried many captives of the land away. Ezra had been faithful to God and His word through all the time of his …
When We Get What We Want
Many times we people – all who were made by God in His image and likeness want what we want, and we want it now. Nothing has changed since the Garden of Eden and the fall of Adam and Eve; at least in the matter of our wants. When it comes to leadership of kings, …

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 …
