Fish
This past week I listened to “Conference Pulpit” on the Bible Broadcasting Network radio station. It comes on at nine each evening weekdays. One of the messages was the kind that sticks in your head and heart for a few days at least. This one might be embedded a good bit longer. The entire message …
What About Og?
This name, Og, appears in the Bible 22 times. Last time I read my Bible through I noticed that his name pops up every now and then and I did underline it thinking I might come back sometime and study on him more. It didn’t happen. Once I left Joshua, I left him behind. Today …
A Hope that is sure and steadfast
Daily I have looked at a list on my desk. It says finish blog. To the left of that job is a line to put a check mark on. I have been speechless with overwhelming emotions that run from sadness, to frustration, to contentment, to joy, and back to sadness. This coronavirus has caused havoc. …
Hezekiah’s Obituary
If you look back in the archives of this blog you will find this published in 2014. I drag it out because in preparation of a lesson on Psalm 46, once again I am reminded of the life of Hezekiah. Psalm 46 is not of Davidic origin. It may well have been written by Ezra, …
Job, and the Pure in Heart
I posted this on my social media page yesterday and after considering it again today, decided to share it on wordpress as well. We live in a day when creation is ignored unless it is an environmental, political issue. God displays His power and outstanding (an understatement but the best I can do) ability to …
Shelomith
Who is he anyhow? For some reason he stood out to me today as I made my way through yet another list of names in I Chronicles. I think it is pronounced Sheh-lo-mith. The accent is probably on the second syllable. If I remember correctly, that how the Bible reader pronounced it. The name is …
Lazy River
I wrote this about six weeks ago. Much has happenedd since that confirms in my heart that the message of Jeremiah is more pertinent than ever. A Lazy River may be fun at a water park, but it ends disastrously in real life. The entire book of Jeremiah is a thorough identification of how Judah cam …
Truth
Jesus told Thomas, his disciple, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man cometh unto the Father but by Me.” Further in that long and beautiful prayer that Jesus prayed for his disciples in John 17, Jesus declared, “. . .thy Word is truth.” In fact, John uses the word truth more …
Fainting
Have you ever fainted? What brought it on? There have been times I felt faint and quickly put my head down between my knees before I fully fainted—except once. I didn’t even feel faint, but it happened. I woke up a few minutes later on the floor of the ER and the attending doctor said, …
Launch Out into the Deep
Peter didn’t know Jesus very well when Jesus said those words to him. Like others in Galilee Peter had heard Jesus speak and felt a compelling respect for him. When we develop a budding friendship with someone, we often hold back a little before we share our opinions and certainly our hearts. Peter was no …
