Job 29 to 31 Today we see many homeless people here and there. If you take time to talk with them, you may hear some of the same dialogs that Job was having with himself, his friends, and God. Like Job, they begin the age-old “why” me and “why” this. Some will admit to their […]
Job 28 James succinctly addresses wisdom and remarks that there are two avenues: earthly and heavenly. One is demonic, and the other is godly. James further notes that we have godly wisdom through our good conduct and works done in gentleness. On the other side of the coin is earthly, natural, and demonic wisdom, and […]
Job 21 to 24 The Truth of the Matter Are you confounded by the responses of those who are asked; do you believe the Bible? Some answers come back like the Ethiopian’s question; how can I unless someone guides me? Or, the Bible is too hard for me to understand. Or, I am too busy […]
Job 18 to 20, “Where is the Compassion?” When we are suffering, we need compassion; do we not? But, Job’s three comforters are anything but! He asks them, “how long will you torment me and crush me with your words.” We should take this as a lesson. Do we respond as these three men? Job’s […]
Job 14-16 Job asks the age-old question: “man dies and is powerless, he expires – and where is he?” and “if a man dies, will he live again?” Job struggled, but Jesus gave the answer: I am the way to the afterlife; believe in me. It seems that all religions/faiths believe in some form of […]
Job 10 to 13 Job says I know I am not wicked! But, I do know, my words are full of bitterness. The “know-it-all” Zophar is not so sure about Job’s assessment. First, he denigrates Job by saying; if you are so wise, you must know that behind this circumstance, and your bitter words that […]
Job 6 to 9 When we get discouraged it helps to remember that we know how this story will turn out but as we walk with Job we begin to experience his pain, his anguish, and his questions. Satan had accused and challenged God that if Job’s body were touched “skin for skin” he would […]
Job 1 to 5. Trials & Servants From the peace in the Garden to the shining sword to keep man from re-entering after he sinned to facing the ultimate trial in man. It is here that we find the man Job. God knows Job, and God knows us. God describes him as blameless and upright, […]
Genesis 8-11 Three Chapters of drama. God sends the flood because of sin, yet He is gracious. He always opens a door for cleansing of our sin. Are we aware of God working in our life when we are out of fellowship with Him? Even in our sinful state, God always has a promise to […]
Genesis 4 to 7 Two men in Gen 4 to7 are noted as “walking” with God. Although Moses did not note the character of Enoch, the author of Hebrews gives us this insight: “[Enoch] was commended as having pleased God.” [Heb 11:5].
