Let’s explore what should be a very encouraging passage of Scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-7 – “Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your care on Him, because He cares for you.” Another translation presents verse 7 like this – “Give all […]

“Temptation”
I’m pretty sure that I am safe in saying that all of us are faced with temptation. Satan will see to that. I know I am safe in saying that God, who loves us, will not tempt us. In James 1:13-15, we read, “No one undergoing a trial should say, “I am being tempted by […]
“The Name of God”
This meditation is going to be primarily scriptures that talk about the name of God and what it means to us. I hope you will look up these scriptures and highlight them in your Bible and reflect on them. God’s name implies “the whole combination of divine perfections.” Psalm 52:9 tells us that God’s name […]
“Facing the Future with God”
We are about to enter a new year that I believe will be very challenging for us in many ways. I am challenging myself and you, that no matter what we face, we hold the course knowing that our LORD is with us and He will champion our cause. The Apostle Paul challenged the Christians […]
“Overview of Coming Events”
One thing is certain – whatever God’s word predicts, will come to pass. God does not change, and neither does His word. Listen to the expressions of the Apostle Peter – 1:23-25 ESV – “Since you have been born again, not of perishable seed but of imperishable, through the living and abiding word of God, […]
“God’s Amazing Gift to the World”
In Genesis 3:15 we have the first promise of One who would come and triumph over the sin and devastation caused by Adam and Eve’s disobedience. God declared to the devil, “And I will cause hostility between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring. He will strike your head, and you […]
“The Storm Clouds are Gathering” – Part II
In our nation today, we are surrounded by what I would call a climate and culture of hate. It is far more than just disliking someone. The feelings go very deep and reveal rage and resentment. Where did all of this come from? It is far more than a corrupt political judicial system. The prophet […]
“Christ the Promised Messiah/Savior”
One of the reasons I am totally sold on Jesus is the way He is the fulfillment of Old Testament Prophesy. Keep in mind that a prophet had to be one hundred percent accurate in his predictions. That being the case, consider the fact that there are at least 200 specific prophesies in the Old […]
“Giving Thanks”
In just a few days many people in our nation will observe Thanksgiving. The first Thanksgiving happened in the early autumn of 1621. Only 53 pilgrims, about half their number, survived their first harsh winter in America. They decided to celebrate and give thanks to God for their successful harvest and their survival. Chief Massasoit […]
“Lessons From Jeremiah”
The book of Jeremiah is the longest Prophetic Book in the Old Testament. Also, Jeremiah’s life is more fully described than any of the other fifteen writing prophets. Jeremiah had a word from the Lord for the people of Judah during the last half of the 7th century and the first quarter of the 6th […]
