I read good news and bad news this morning: In Micah 7, the prophet praises God for His mercy: “Who is a God like You, removing sin and passing over rebellion? … He does not hold on to His anger forever, because HE DELIGHTS IN FAITHFUL LOVE. He will have compassion on us. You willContinue reading “GOOD NEWS AND BAD NEWS. Micah 7:18-19; 2 Kings 17:8-26.”

Crime Doesn’t Pay.
More specifically, SIN does not pay. Do not be deceived by appearances. God is watching and He will address it. After all, He says, “vengeance is Mine.

CAN YOU IMAGINE A MEAL FIT FOR A KING?
When Daniel was taken captive into Babylon, he determined NOT to defile himself with the “royal food and wine.” You know the story: the servant was afraid he’d be killed if Daniel and the other Jews lost weight.

Do you have a pet sin? An area where you convince yourself what you’re doing is okay? Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived. Kings from around the world came to visit and listen to his wisdom.

I will turnContinue reading “The Seeds You Plant Determine What You Harvest.”
You Reap What You Sow. Leviticus 26:3-8.
God created the world to follow rules. Science was based on the Christian notion that if God is a God of order, then his creation must also be ordered, and thus, Creation should be predictable. Pagans and other religions had always believed creation was controlled by random chance or the cavalier whims of uncaring gods. Continue reading “You Reap What You Sow. Leviticus 26:3-8.”
