Nahum 1-3 As the prophet of God, Nahum reveals the ways of men, which are cruel and without mercy, and God, who seeks men’s hearts to turn to Him. Assyria was the cruelest of all the nations of Nahum’s time, and their leader considered himself to be invincible, yet in God’s perfect timing, he would […]
Micah 6:8 Three Things God requires God has clearly laid out what He requires, a simple 1-2-3 plan for His children. This is not a how to get saved plan, but a plan for the saved–meaning this is how a believer is to live. Do justly; that is, whatever you choose to do, do it […]
Micah 1-4 Why has God used this prophet during the reigns of four unfaithful kings? Like many prophets and the author of Hebrews, God uses him to call us to remember from where we have fallen and repent. Micah was sent to a people who were not faithful to Jehovah. He used puns to share […]
Amos 7-9 Amos was just a sheepherder by trade as he shared with Amaziah, the false priest of Israel, but he also had a powerful ministry of prayer. God called him, and he left Judah and his work to follow God. God revealed horrible visions to him about the future of Israel, and with a […]
Amos 1-3 Simple but profound Two days ago, my childhood friend passed from this earthly life to sit at the feet of Jesus. Her mother washed my diapers, and my mother did the same. That is how long we have been childhood friends. She was not a theologian of the Bible, but her life was […]

Hosea 5 to 7 Hosea reminds the Israelites that their unfaithfulness is just like the morning mist which disappears with the sunrise. He reminded them that instead of seeking God, they sought Assyria, but their king will not be able to help them. They seek help not from faithful God but from ungodly nations that […]
Hosea 1-4 The Heart of God & His peopleHosea was a prophet to the northern kingdom of Israel for 45+/- yrs. He told the message God had given him, and he lived a life with an unfaithful wife along with three children who would hear playmates, perhaps, mock their names. Through it all, Hosea remained […]
Daniel 10-12 Daniel’s Vision Daniel receives a vision and is troubled. Would I be the same? How often do I read something in the Word and am troubled because I do not understand?

Ezekiel 46-48 When God created the heavens and the earth, He included a river that flowed from Eden to water the orchard. But, man’s sin caused those rivers to run dry, and God “turned streams into desert, springs of water into arid land.” [Ps 107:33] But, one day, that river will again flow, and with […]
