I want to emphasize that is post is a “little” (a small amount of information) from the Bible in reference to the subject of our modern term “praise and worship.” My purpose here is to describe the many “postures of worship” described in Scripture. Jesus says, “the hour comes, and now is, when the true … Read more
Perfect Beginnings In the beginning God gave mankind a perfect garden in which to dwell. Then mankind invited sin into the garden resulting in their expulsion from a perfect environment. Here Come the Children Later they had children, one of whom was Cain who was a murder. Interestingly, when God punished him for the murder … Read more
I’ve noticed the overall theme of these chapters is the same as the parable of the seeds and the ground. The Gospel reaches everyone, including those concerned with the cares of this life, but those cares, and our focus on them, can cost the effect of the Gospel on the soul. It’s one thing to … Read more
… You won’t see this in the Mainstream Media Matthew 24:3 says, “As He was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to Him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will these things happen, and what will be the sign of Your coming, and of the end of the age?” Verse 4, And Jesus … Read more
Having gone through Proverbs last week, I was struck by a simple fact. Good, though often simple, is wise, while evil, though often complex, is foolish. There is little hope for the unwise, but there is hope. We’re all a little unwise at times, and some (like myself,) more than a little unwise. There are … Read more
Just finished 2nd Chronicles, and chapters 33 and 35 stick out. Manasseh did all kinds of evil, and God judged him, but He also gave him a chance to repent, which he greatly did, and not only did God forgive him, but He restored him to his office. Sure, when he died, he was buried … Read more
I just finished psalms 51-100 two days ago, and I was thinking about the psalms of Asaph. He is one who constantly encorages himself, as we should be encouraged, too. He’s one who sees the prosperity of the wicked, and acknowledges his confusion over how good things can happen to bad people and bad things … Read more
1. “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?” – Matthew 6:25 2. “Look at the birds of the air: they do not sew or reap or … Read more
I’ve noticed, in chapters 7-12, Job is laying out three cases. 1: He knows he’s a sinner, but he doesn’t know what he did to deserve his suffering. 2: God’s sovereignty extends to everything, and he feels it’s hopeless to present his case directly, even though he acknowledges that God always does right and he … Read more
I just started reading Deuteronomy for this year, and I’m reading about Moses pleading with God to let him enter the promised land. The way God responds makes me wonder if He doesn’t sometimes feel bad about what our choices lead to. He tells Moses to stop bringing up the promised land, and lets him … Read more
