No People Left Out Romans 9:25-33 There may have been accusations against Paul’s teaching, claiming that He was preaching an unjust and unrighteous God.

Romans 9:6-13 The Word of Promise
The Word Of Promise Romans 9:6-13 Remembering that we are looking at a parenthetical statement, which gives a clearer understanding of what Paul is writing about in chapter 8 and assuring the Roman Christians that the promises of God are good, and that He will not break or void any of them; we come to …

House of God
Today's Bible Reading: Genesis 26 - 28 "Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.” And he was afraid and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven!”" …
Released to Preach and Teach
There are a few people I know who have jail, and prison ministries. They do it because they believe God has called them to go to the places where men and women are incarcerated for crimes against God and humanity. Yet, these minister to the men and women who are willing to listen to the …
Remarkable Faith
There is a need for genuine faith. The faith that trust the Lord, and no one, or nothing else. The faith that a Christian has is not based on assumptions, or myth, but substance and evidence provided us by God Himself (Hebrews 11:1). The verses we look at today tell us of a Gentile woman …
No More… Pulled Up…
"Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt.

You are Loved; Accept It
"O Israel, thou hast destroyed thyself; but in Me is thine help." Hosea 13:9 (KJV) Today we will be looking at the words for this verse from the past... The first of these verses is the summary, or contents, of all the rest (v. 9), where we have, 1. All the blame of Israel’s ruin …
The Gate Shall be Shut
"Then He brought me back the way of the gate of the outward sanctuary which looketh toward the east; and it was shut. Then said the LORD unto me; This gate shall be shut, it shall not be opened, and no man shall enter in by it; because the LORD, the God of Israel, hath …
Sticks: Joseph and Judah
We have been looking at the prophecy of Ezekiel. Ezekiel was a captive in Babylon when he was given this prophecy. He spoke much of the nation's return to their homeland, but it would not take place until after a period of 70 years. In the Scripture and prophecy for today's study we see a …
The LORD’S Vengeance
"For Israel hath not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel. Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of …
Iniquity Sought; None Found
"Israel is a scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath broken his bones. Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and his land, as I have …
Being Reminded of GOD’S Promise
Much of the Scripture we will look at today have to do with the judgment upon Egypt. Judah was or had been depending on Egypt for their deliverance, and fight against Babylon; but they were in grave error and sin for doing so. Judah's help was in God. Because of their trust in Egypt God …
Wells of Salvation
"And in that day thou shalt say, O LORD, I will praise Thee: though Thou wast angry with me, Thine anger is turned away, and Thou comfortedst me. Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and not be afraid: for the LORD JEHOVAH is my strength and my song; He also is become my …
The Hand of the LORD
"Blessed be the LORD God of our fathers, which hath put such a thing as this in the king’s heart, to beautify the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem: and hath extended mercy unto me before the king, and his counsellors, and before all the king’s mighty princes. And I was strengthened as …
