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 Maker and God Makers
It has been said by men, that people make god in their own image. To a certain extent that is true. If we form our view of god according to what we perceive as god, or use the view that every one else holds of god then that statement is true, and we will be …

Will God Give Us Revival Again?
Psalms 84 and 85 are songs written for the sons of Korah. Now unless you are familiar with their story the Psalms for them will not mean too much to you. You will find their story in Numbers 16. Let me suggest that you go and read that, then the Psalms for the sons of …
What We Ought to do When God is Silent
"We see not our signs: there is no more any prophet: neither is there among us any that knoweth how long. O God, how long shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever? Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Pluck it out of Thy bosom. For God is my King of …
The Way to Go
When I was a younger teenage boy some friends of mine, and myself enjoyed going in some of the local caves and doing some exploring. One day we went back in one many people had been in. The mouth of the cave was almost big enough to build a small house in. When we found …

My Bible reading for today was 1 Chronicles 26 -27...

GOD Above All
And Jethro said, Blessed be the LORD, who hath delivered you out of the hand of the Egyptians, and out of the hand of Pharaoh, who hath delivered the people from under the hand of the Egyptians. Now I know that the LORD is greater than all gods: for in the thing wherein they dealt proudly …
When GOD Visits His People
And the people believed: and when they heard that the LORD had visited the children of Israel, and that He had looked upon their affliction, then they bowed their heads and worshipped.

Delivered to Brought Low
Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar. Genesis 19:22 (KJV) Zoar was the city where Lot had asked the angels that he might flee unto. The name of the city means, "Brought low". Lot was in the city of …
The Work of God In Us Worked Out
O how we need to get this straight. Salvation by grace continues to work in us following our regeneration or justification in Christ and God.
