Psalm 106-108 The Long-suffering of God No matter what we read in these psalms, the repeated theme is to praise the Lord. Why praise Him when we are suffering? Stop and consider this: God sends suffering to purge us of our iniquities and so we will recall what He has done in the past. He […]
Proverbs 22 Wise Sayings How many times have we experienced a situation only to realize later that had we paid attention, we would not have had to face these end results. One of the wisdom proofs is when God provides that nugget of truth we should learn from it rather than from facing the consequences […]
1 Cor 16 Making Plans Today we are busy about many things and one of them is making plans for this and that. We draft calendars and send messages to others to remind them of our plans. We live in the internet age when messages fly faster than the crow flies to others and then […]
1 Cor 14 Orderliness in the Church God gave us the church through His Son, Jesus Christ. As it was then, it is to be today; a place of order, not confusion. It seems that the Corinthians had taken this a separate further because the issue of speaking in tongues had caused much disorder. Thus, […]

1 Cor 11 Rules We live in an area where the churches have women who place coverings over their hair for each and every service. Having not grown up with this demand, it is uncomfortable for me to worship in these churches. Paul is sharing not just the cultural ways in Corinth but it is […]
1 Cor 10 “Do’s and Don’ts” Can you hear your parents saying those words to you as you grew up? Paul considers himself the parent to the Corinthians, and as such, he reminds them of those who went before them and they did not obey the Lord thus incurring consequences. That is the same for […]
Psalm 105 Recall and Share The psalmist who wrote these words had one basic reminder: seek the Lord and give Him praise. You wonder as he penned these words if he was recalling the past of his nation and how God preserved the family of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the land of Egypt just […]
