Romans 11:1-6 ESV
“I ask, then, has God rejected his people? By no means! For I myself am an Israelite, a descendant of Abraham, a member of the tribe of Benjamin. God has not rejected his people whom he foreknew. Do you not know what the Scripture says of Elijah, how he appeals to God against...
I am reading in Matthew 23, and it is a very long passage, so I will only quote parts of it, and I will summarize some of it, too. But Matthew 23 is primarily dedicated to Jesus’ words describing the character and the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and the scribes of his day. But there are many who...

I am reading in Jeremiah 11, and the Lord is leading me to make practical application of what was taught then, but to apply it to the church in America today, which is where I live, but applied anywhere that it fits, in reality.
The Lord called Jeremiah to speak to the people of Jerusalem...
Isaiah 65:1 ESV
“I was ready to be sought by those who did not ask for me;
I was ready to be found by those who did not seek me.

Isaiah 55:1-3 ESV
“Come, everyone who thirsts,
come to the waters;
and he who has no money,

Come, buy wine and milk
without money and without price.

and your labor for that which does not satisfy?
Listen...

the people whom he has chosen as his...

The physical nation of Israel is at the forefront in the news right now. But there are many misconceptions among those who believe in Jesus Christ as to who biblical Israel is in the Messianic age and in these last days before the return of Christ. So, I pray that all who profess faith in Jesus...
Matthew 7:15-20 ESV
