We are tempted to quickly believe God changes when trouble comes our way. This is not only false, it is short sighted. Since the Creator has no beginning or end, and since he cannot lie, he is (to quote the writer of Hebrews) the “same, yesterday, today, and forever” (Hebrews 13:8) This is important for… Read More »
They Do Not Know What They Do
After asking Father God to forgive, Jesus made an intriguing statement: “They do not know what they do.” (Luke 23:34) Sin had veiled man’s understanding of just who was being crucified. Some, like the Pharisees, consciously closed their eyes. Others had their vision blocked by the cares of life. “They did not know what they… Read More »
The Bible, Worship, and Mankind
We read in John 5 of a confrontation between Jesus and those who wanted to kill him. They didn’t like the fact that Jesus was “making himself equal with God” (John 5:18) Jesus answered them with a wonderful study of why we can believe who he is. In fact,he went on to make a bold… Read More »
Unlike Any Other Song
King Solomon was a prolific songwriter. He wrote 1005 songs. (I Kings 4:32) One of these songs in the Bible is so unique that it is often overlooked. It is the Song of Solomon. It is a song unlike any other! At first reading, some might ask why it was ever included in the Bible.… Read More »
The Growth of Worship
Peter ended his second book by encouraging his readers to “grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen.” (2 Peter 3:18) This is not just a nice little conclusion to a letter. It’s fundamental to life… Read More »
Attraction
When I first met my wife, I was attracted to her. She has always had a beautiful smile and inner beauty that I could not resist. She stood apart from others. You might laugh, but I walked around with her picture in my hand for weeks. I could not help but want to gaze at… Read More »
The How of Worship
Scripture teaches us who is to be worshiped. It is God alone. No one is his rival. He was before all things and has ultimate power. Far beyond our comprehension, God stands alone as supreme. Even the religious people of Jesus’ day knew this and had problems with Jesus accepting the worship that only God… Read More »
Until Then
We live in a time when the signs point to Jesus Christ’s imminent return. We don’t know when it will be, nor do we know when we might reach Heaven through death. In light of this, we have two choices. We can fear, taking things into our own hands, or we can remember that God… Read More »
How Could They?
Worship comes easy. You don’t believe me? Just ask two men who were beaten and imprisoned. Do you ever wonder how Paul and Silas could worship God in the midst of a Philippian jail? Let’s avoid the common practice of exalting these noble men but, going deeper, investigate why they chose worship over complaint. Paul… Read More »
The Who of Worship
A great religious, civic, and military leader wrote a song in praise of God. He was a witness of the awesomeness of God. He and his people were miraculously freed from bondage on a grotesque level. Moses is not well-known as a songwriter – until he saw the mighty hand of God. Not only that,… Read More »
