Commandments and Traditions Then came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, "Why do Thy disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?

The apostle Paul said, "Let God be true and every man a liar," and so it is. The words of me will fall flat before the truths of the word of God. Our reading today is Jeremiah 43 through 45. Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land …
Jeremiah was called as a prophet from a family which expected him to enter into the family ministry of the priesthood. God had other plans for Jeremiah; and that was to be a prophet to Judah and the nations. Our reading for today is Jeremiah 1 through 3. The words of Jeremiah the son of …
We are truly blessed of the LORD who has made all thing; the seen and the unseen. He has been revealed to us not only in all His creation, but He has also revealed Himself in His only begotten Son Jesus Christ whom He sent to be the propitiation for our sins. He was crucified …

I would probably call it “sarcasm”. The voice of the LORD answers Job, “Out of the whirlwind”; and asks Job a lot of questions which seem to have a lot of sarcasm in them. “Sarcasm” is defined in the Mirriam/Webster Dictionary as “1 a cutting, contemptuous remark: 2 Ironical criticism or reproach”. The latter one …

"O God, Thou art my God; early will I seek Thee: my soul thirsteth for Thee, my flesh longeth for Thee in a dry and thirsty land, where no water is; to see Thy power and Thy glory, so I have seen Thee in the sanctuary. Because Thy lovingkindness is better than life, my lips shall …
"Then Job answered and said, 'I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all. Shall vain words have an end? Or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head …
My reading for today was Matthew 14 - 15. The mouth is our own worst enemy at times. That is why it is very important to have a changed heart. Changed by the power of the cross of Jesus Christ. The cross is the only place of change for good and positive power with God …
The words we speak can be very acidic, eating away at the heart and soul of those we speak so vile of words to. Someone has said, "The words we speak are like a fired weapon, once launched, it cannot be recalled." The Christian's mouth should be different from the mouths of those who do …
"The words of king Lemuel, the prophecy that his mother taught him. What, my son? And what, the son of my womb? And what, the son of my vows? Give not thy strength unto women, nor thy ways to that which destroyeth kings. It is not for kings, O Lemuel, it is not for kings …
"He that hateth dissembleth with his lips, and layeth up deceit within him; when he speaketh fair, believe him not: for there are seven abominations in his heart. Whose hatred is covered by deceit, his wickedness shall be shewed before the whole congregation. Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: and he that rolleth a …
"The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, the LORD hath made even both of them. Love not sleep, lest thou come to poverty; open thine eyes, and thou shalt be satisfied with bread. It is naught, it is naught, saith the buyer: but when he is gone his way, then he boasteth. There is gold, …
"The proverbs of Solomon. A wise son maketh a glad father: but a foolish son is the heaviness of his mother. Treasures of wickedness profit nothing: but righteousness delivereth from death. The LORD will not suffer the soul of the righteous to famish: but He casteth away the substance of the wicked. He becometh poor …
"Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy truth’s sake. Wherefore should the heathen say, Where is now their God? But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased. Their idols are silver and gold, the work of …
"Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds. Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand; to execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people; to bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron; …
