My reading of Scripture today was Ezekiel 15 - 16. Chapter 16 describes the sins of Judah and Israel, and why God judged them, the sins of Sodom and their judgment (16:49-50). We can see clearly that God does not tolerate sin. Sin is what God calls sin; it does not matter at all what …

The Children of Israel Shall Come
"In those days, and in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD their God. They shall ask the way to Zion with their faces thitherward, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves to the LORD …
The Teaching of Rebellion
Jeremiah did not enjoy preaching the message which God gave him to preach. He loved the people, the priests (they were members of his own family), the princes, and the kings. He loved the temple and what it represented. Most of all Jeremiah loved God and His commandments. When Hananiah the prophet preached that God …

Redeemed from All Our Sins
"A Song of degrees. Out of the depths have I cried unto thee, O LORD. Lord, hear my voice: let Thine ears be attentive to the voice of my supplications. If Thou, LORD, shouldest mark iniquities, O Lord, who shall stand? But there is forgiveness with Thee, that Thou mayest be feared. I wait for the LORD, my soul …
I Will Praise the LORD
There are some who may ask, "Why would I, or why should I praise the LORD?" My answer to that is, "Why wouldn't you want to?" I mean we are talking about the creator of the Universe and everything in it. He is righteous. He is holy. He is just; and if you want to …
The Biblical Prophet
The prophets of the Bible were never really popular with the people. Many who claimed to be a prophet, and were popular with the kings and queens of the day, along with many of the people were not the prophets of the true and Living God. The prophet of God was much more than one …

When Evil Comes
"And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD." 2 Chronicles 12:14 (KJB) Rehoboam is the one, the king, of whom the text speaks. He was Solomon's son, David's grandson; and he had no heart for God. O, he humbled himself when he realized he was about to lose it …
Courageous and Valiant
"Be of good courage, and let us behave ourselves valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God: and let the LORD do that which is good in His sight." 1 Chronicles 19:13 (KJB) The word "Valiant" is a word not frequently used in most of today's conversations. There are many good words …
Old, Outdated, Antiquated???
Reading chapters 17 - 19 of 2 Kings today... "For he clave to the LORD, and departed not from following Him, but kept His commandments, which the LORD commanded Moses." 2 Kings 18:6 (KJB) Old, outdated, and antiquated are words we might hear from some older people about the Bible. We would probably hear it …

Some Heartbreaking News
Reading 2 Samuel 14 - 16 for today... "And there came a messenger to David, saying, The hearts of the men of Israel are after Absalom." 2 Samuel 15:13 (KJB) How does one respond when they get news from a messenger that their son has schemed against them, and is taking over your business or …
