Joshua 16-18 The excuses we use to not move forward are many. The descendants of Joseph came to Joshua complaining that the land they had was not enough. So they came to him for permission to have more land, and he agreed that what they said was true. He said go and conquer the land, […]
Joshua 1-3 “Be Strong and Courageous” God would speak to Joshua just as He had spoken to Moses. His words: “Be strong and courageous,” are repeated three times. He had seen the Red Sea opening and now would see the Jordan open as well. God wanted Joshua to know that He could be trusted but […]
Deut. 32-34 “Last…” There are five sets of “lasts” in these chapters. Moses’ “last” song to Israel to remind them of God’s choosing them and blessing them. There are the “last” words of blessing on each tribe lest they forget that God had chosen them and placed upon them His task of leading the nation. […]
Deut 28-29 God’s plan is pretty simple: obedience leads to blessing and disobediences leads to curses. His love is deep and wide. It extends not to just the Jew, but to each Gentile believer as well. Although Jeremiah wrote these words to encourage those in Babylonian captivity, the principle is as true now as then. […]
Num. 20 The Consequence of Disobedience The people grumbled–AGAIN! Their lack of water changed their countenance from blessing to grumbling and murmuring. First: If only we had died when our brothers died before the Lord. Second: Why have you brought us up into this wilderness? Third: Why have you brought us to this dreadful place […]
Lev. 17-19 “The Sacred vs the Profane” One thing we must remember as we study Leviticus is that these are the very words of God and His reminders of the “you must not and you must.” The leaders had failed in their instruction of the principles of holiness. Therefore, these are written that they and […]
Genesis 12 to 15 We do not know what lies ahead for 2022, but we can trust God that He is a promise keeper. As we begin this year, we can take a page out of Abram’s life to learn to trust God “each step of the way.” God told Abram to leave and go […]
Genesis 11 Terah and Abraham Terah was an idol worshipper, and Abraham, as his son, grew up in that environment. Today there are children like Abraham who do not grow up in God-centered homes. Yet he is an example of one who chose the God way, not the idol way. What does that teach us? […]
2Timothy 1 to 4 Find ‘F-A-T’ people and Disciple them There is an expression about wanting to be a fly on the wall, meaning you want to observe and listen in as the master teacher teaches his pupil. In this case, it is Paul teaching or mentoring Timothy. He writes to charge Timothy to follow […]
Romans 14 & Phil 2 Every Knee Shall Bow Both here and in the book of Philippians, Paul reminds everyone that every knee shall bow to the Lord and worship Him as Lord. “As I live, says the Lord, every knee shall bow to Me, And every tongue shall give praise to God.” Rom 14:11. […]
