The prophets words, God's words have been judgmental, even harsh; however here we can get a glimpse of a brighter future, and of the bigger picture; the picture which God always has in view. This is a word of promise. When you think about it; what good is a promise if there are not moments …
Christians are citizens of two worlds. We are citizens of the nations in which we live, or not, because I know some are working; or visiting; in a foreign nation; and that could serve well with the point I want to make today. When citizens of one nation are in a foreign nation they must …
There are a lot of messengers in this old world. Everyone's opinion is as good as anybody else. That is what we are told, and as far as human opinion goes; that is based assumptions and pretense; then your opinion is as good as mine. However, when it comes to the truths of God's Word …
Yes! We are all for the present "Inhabitants of the earth", and we must make our living and life hear while we are here. This message, however, is to the one's whose hearts, souls, mind and strength is as inhabitants of the earth. They have no heart for God. They love this earth, and all …
“Am I a God near at hand,” says the LORD, “And not a God afar off? Can anyone hide himself in secret places, so I shall not see him?” says the LORD; “Do I not fill heaven and earth?” says the LORD." Jeremiah 23:23-24 (NKJV) When these verses are read, we might ask the question; …
Let me first of all on this 11th day of September remind all to be in prayer for the people of Texas, Louisiana, and surrounding cities of Texas. Also pray for the people of the whole State of Florida. These States have been hit hard by natural disasters. Our verses for today are... “The heart …
"Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that it shall no more be said, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt; but, The LORD liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither He …
These post are about GOD; His love, and yes His hate. Maybe it would be nicer to say, His wrath. His wrath is what He pours out on what He hates. For His children He hates any sin that is in us. He hates my sin. He hates your sin. He is working in me …
“Therefore you shall speak to them this word: ‘Thus says the LORD God of Israel: “Every bottle shall be filled with wine.” ’ “And they will say to you, ‘Do we not certainly know that every bottle will be filled with wine?’ “Then you shall say to them, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Behold, I will …
The title is a question many people down through human history have asked. Yes, I have as well. This was a question Jeremiah the prophet was asking in the text you will read in a moment. Many of the Old Testament prophets asked the question. Habakkuk asked it in his prophecy chapter 1; and Malachi …
There are some in Christian circles, and Christian thought who tell us that we need to always look at the positive side of things.

How important is the word of the LORD in your life? If it is just a book you have placed on a table for appearances, or a book you keep on the shelf; or you might take it to worship services with you - on occasion; but you rarely if ever read the pages, the …
Under the reign of Rehoboam, the son of Solomon, the nation of Israel was divided into two nations (1 Kings 12). Known as the southern kingdom of Judah, made up of only two tribes, and the northern kingdom of Israel. The southern kingdom had a few kings which the LORD spoke kindly of, and said, …
The prophet had an eye and heart for the true God, and His word. He despised what was happening in Judah, and Jerusalem; the hypocrisy within the priesthood.
