    They Have Turned Their Back to God

    “They have turned their back to Me and not their face; though I taught them, teaching again and again, they would not listen and receive instruction. But they put their detestable things in the house which is called by My name, to defile it. They built the high places of Baal that are in the...

    The Days of Noah

    “For the coming of the Son of Man will be just like the days of Noah. For as in those days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and they did not understand until the flood came and took them all away; so will...

    We Must Give Account

    “Let us therefore strive to enter that rest, so that no one may fall by the same sort of disobedience. For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions...

    Out of Our Bondage

    Therefore, let us fear if, while a promise remains of entering His rest, any one of you may seem to have come short of it. 2 For indeed we have had good news preached to us, just as they also; but the word they heard did not profit them, because it was not united by faith in those who heard. 3...

    I Will Exult in The Lord

    “I heard and my inward parts trembled, At the sound my lips quivered. Decay enters my bones, And in my place I tremble. Because I must wait quietly for the day of distress, For the people to arise who will invade us. Though the fig tree should not blossom And there be no fruit on the vines...

    Are You Serving Other Gods?

    Solomon, and all who assisted him, had just completed the building of the Temple of God (Old Testament). And then the Lord spoke to him, and he told him that if he (God) brought on his people a number of disastrous events, if his people, who were called by his name, would humble themselves, and...

    A Better Sacrifice

    “By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain, through which he obtained the testimony that he was righteous, God testifying about his gifts, and through faith, though he is dead, he still speaks.” (Hebrews 11:4 NASB1995) When I read this in Hebrews 11 about Cain and Abel, I knew I...

    As Examples for Us

    “Now these things took place as examples for us, that we might not desire evil as they did. Do not be idolaters as some of them were; as it is written, ‘The people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.’ We must not indulge in sexual immorality as some of them did, and twenty-three...

    I Do Not Want You to Be Unaware

    “For I do not want you to be unaware, brothers, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea, and all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, and all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank from the spiritual...

    Bring Them Home

    “Since therefore Christ suffered in the flesh, arm yourselves with the same way of thinking, for whoever has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, so as to live for the rest of the time in the flesh no longer for human passions but for the will of God. For the time that is past suffices for...

    Denying Jesus

    Matthew 10:32-33 “Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven. What does it mean to deny Jesus? Is it simply not accepting Him as your Savior? Could...

    Beloved, Flee from Idolatry

    “Therefore, my beloved, flee from idolatry. I speak as to sensible people; judge for yourselves what I say. The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? Because there is one bread...

    Strive to Enter that Rest

    Context The writer of Hebrews, who possibly could be the apostle Paul, although it does not say, was writing to those who had believed in Jesus Christ, perhaps mostly to the Jews, and he was explaining to them the differences between the Old Covenant and the New Covenant and how that Jesus was...

    They Refused to Listen

    Proverbs 1 (Select verses) 7 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction. 10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not consent. 15 my son, do not walk in the way with them; hold back your foot from their paths, 16 for their feet run to evil...

    When in the Stillness of This Moment

    September 26, 2011 I was reading in 1 Corinthians 10 for my quiet time with the Lord. The children of Israel had experienced all of God’s blessings and provisions, as well as his guidance, leadership, and protection in bringing them out of slavery. And yet, God was not pleased with them...

    Boldness (despite fear) to stand up for the truth

    SCRIPTURE: Then Jeremiah returned from Topheth, the garbage dump where he had delivered this message, and he stopped in front of the Temple of the Lord . He said to the people there, “This is what the Lord of Heaven’s Armies, the God of Israel, says: ‘I will bring disaster upon this city and its...

    Faith and Obedience

    Hebrews 4:1-3a,11 ESV “Therefore, while the promise of entering his rest still stands, let us fear lest any of you should seem to have failed to reach it. For good news came to us just as to them, but the message they heard did not benefit them, because they were not united by faith with those...

    Video Talk On September 26, 2011, I was reading in 1 Corinthians 10 for my quiet time with the Lord. And the Lord had me write these words (following) and he also had me write a song titled “When in the Stillness.” The children of Israel had experienced all of God’s blessings and provisions...

    Freedom or No?

    Whether they realize it or not most people feel that freedom is too demanding and too unpredictable. When God's people were led out of slavery into the wilderness, this was their mindset. They complained continually because they feared uncertainty. It is easier for a person to stay mired in...
