Joel 1-3 Climate Change is the buzzword of the day. We hear about it and are reminded that the cause is humans and their thirst for fossil fuels. Yet, in the years 1930-1939, the USA experienced what has been termed the Dust Bowl. It was because the farmers in the Midwest over-plowed and removed the […]
Ezekiel 44 No matter whether you are a member of a church, social group, or a place, there are some people who are considered to be a part of the inner circle. These people are the ones “in the know.” They may know the news before others or have been given special status. Did you […]
Ezekiel 40-41 For Such a Time as This This phrase was given to Queen Esther when she hesitated to speak to her husband, the king, about Haman’s treachery. Mordecai told her that perhaps she had been put in her position ‘for such a time as this.’ She asked her maids to fast (and we imagine, […]
Ezekiel 38-39 End of the End God has spoken, and it will come to pass that all of God’s enemies will be found in their guilt. That was then, but this is today, so how do we take a passage like this and make it relevant? Look about you, Christian, and see the enemies of […]
Ezekiel 35-37 Ezekiel continues to prophesy what God has told him, but these chapters are particularly confusing for us, and I wonder if it was for him. First, God reminds Mt. Seir or the Edomites, who are Esau’s descendants, that He is angry with them for their treatment of their brethren in Judah. Thus, He has […]
Ezek 28-31 Destiny Throughout history, there have risen many leaders who boasted of their prowess and their accomplishments. King Solomon warns that those who self-exalt will be humbled, and as it was written, so it came to be. Nebuchadnezzar boasted of the city Babylon as the work of his hands and spent the next 7 […]
Ezekiel 20 Oaths Three times God says he raised his hand in an oath to complete an action. We take an oath before a judge and jury to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. God is saying that to these disobedient rebel elders as they come to Ezekiel to hear […]
Choices and Destiny Ezekiel 19 Yes, you are free to make choices, but you are not free from those consequences. As noted, the rich man in Luke 16:19-31 will live through eternity with the choice he made here on earth. He can’t blame God, for God has provided all the evidence one needs to accept […]
Ezek 18-19 God speaks, am I listening? God speaks regarding man’s destiny: each person has a choice to live or die regarding eternity. Secondly, He takes no pleasure in the death of the wicked. Peter reminds us of this truth: God is not willing any to perish, but all come to repentance. In other words, […]
Ezekiel 13 -1 5 Salvation Has anyone ever asked you about your salvation? When you asked them when they chose Christ some look at you with questions. Many reply I have always been a Christian, or my grandmother, grandfather, or parent was a Christian. That is why these chapters are key to helping someone understand […]
