Today's Scripture reading is Matthew 24 through Mark 8. I will share with you some verses on Jesus as the Servant. Some thoughts to consider. You will note at the beginning of Mark's Gospel that it has no genealogy as does Matthew and Luke. Mark's message is basically showing us Jesus Christ as a Servant. …

Day Seventy – Worship The LORD Only
Some people will never listen to a “negative” comment. They always want the positive stuff. Let me ask this question; What good is a battery with only a positive pole? There is no battery with only a positive pole. They all; from automotive – cars and trucks – to batteries for electronic gadgets, fire …
Day Sixty Nine – Let Us Consider Our Ways
Do we really stop to consider the way we live our lives? Are we a society that is consumed with doing our own thing; out for self fulfillment? It seems that way at times. Whether we like to admit it or not there is evil in the world. The only thing is who determines what …
Day Sixty Eight – No Injustice With God
We hear many people speak of “Justice”, “Right” or “Rights”, and the world is filled with injustice, and unrighteousness; and none of us are completely innocent of either. We love seeing the hungry fed, the poor and/or homeless given shelter and even finding prosperity in their paths of life. Is it injustice that makes people …
Day Sixty Seven – Redemption and Healing through The Creator
Yesterday we looked at the very troubled marriage of Hosea and Gomer; and their marriage is a picture of Israel's broken fellowship with God. Today's reading is Hosea 12 through Amos 7. We find God doing the work of redemption, grace, healing, and restoration in Hosea. God says to Israel through the prophet Hosea, “I …

Day Sixty Six – A Very Troubled Marriage
How would you describe a “Bad Marriage”? For some men it might be described as “Having a wife that does not do what I tell her”. That would be domineering, power crazed husband. To some women it could be having a husband who “doesn’t put his dirty clothes in the dirty clothes hamper”. Men, how …
Day Sixty Four – Measuring Up
In the reading of the Bible one thing that stands out to me is that God is about His own glory. Now for a man or woman to be about themselves we call that arrogance, pride, no good even. Yet, for the Creator who has made all things, and seeing how He also loves the …
Day Sixty Three – That You May Know The LORD God
Reading the prophecy of Ezekiel can lead a person to only one good conclusion, and that is that GOD wants people to know Him. Some of the reading sounds harsh, deadly, and judgmental; however we are speaking of our Creator; and who are we to question how He works. Can the clay say to the …

Day Sixty Two – The LORD Sees; He Knows; You Will Know Him
My prayer for the readers of these posts is that you will receive a better understanding from the reading of God's Word. We need, we must hear Him. Our reading for today is Ezekiel 7 - 19. Consider the following thoughts... The prophet Ezekiel is taken by the hand of the LORD, in a vision …

Day Sixty One – Grieving
Jeremiah’s message in Lamentations seems to have taken place after the city of Jerusalem is defeated, the walls broken down, the temple destroyed, and the precious articles for temple worship taken away. We can see Jeremiah’s being known as “the weeping prophet” as we read the laments that are written there. Ezekiel speaks to the …
Day Sixty – The LORD Of Hosts; He Is The King
The reading of the prophecy of Jeremiah can be a difficult read; and even difficult to write about; especially if you focus on the judgment part of the prophecy. Jeremiah lived through much of the fall and destruction of Jerusalem, Judah and Israel. He also wrote many promises of God. Our Scripture reading today is …

Day Fifty Nine – GOD Will Not Withhold A Single Word
The prophecy of Jeremiah the prophet to Judah and Israel was a hard word to preach. It was especially so for a man who loved his people, and his nation; however, it was the word of the LORD, and Jeremiah was going to proclaim it, and it would be better for the people to have …

Day Fifty Eight – The Unsocial Prophet
“The preacher who does not mix with people will never make much of a preacher;” at least that has been said or thought by many. One thing needs to be understood by many preachers of the 21st century; if a preacher has been called by God to preach the Word of God, then we just …
Day Fifty Seven – Judgment By Our Sin
I find it very sad that so many have tried to change the definition of Biblical sin. According to God’s Word – the Bible – sin is a transgression of God’s law. Sin is failure to measure up to God’s glory; His requirements of the law. Nowadays, we hear things like, “Sin is whatever keeps …
Day Fifty Six – The Word of GOD Prospers
There are many times there is debate over the meaning of God’s Word. Even Christians, at times, debate over whether something is “Literal” or “Figurative” or allegorical. For me if God was speaking literal about the first coming of Jesus, and He came just as He has proclaimed; then when He speaks of the second …
