The Psalmist asks a penetrating question. “Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? He hath said in his heart, thou wilt not require it” (Psalm 10:13). In modern day vernacular, the sinner does not fear the judgment of God. He believes that God will not judge. So he or she readily dismisses the warnings from God’sContinue reading “Will God Judge”

God’s Rule in the Affairs of Men
Chapter 21 of Second Chronicles records God’s dealing with Jehoram, a wicked king of Judah. The Scriptures record that he did not walk in the ways of Jehoshaphat, his father, or Asa, both godly kings of Judah. Rather, he “walked in the way of the [evil] kings of Israel, and hast made Judah and theContinue reading “God’s Rule in the Affairs of Men”
The God Who Holds History
Most of us are familiar with the story of Samson and Delilah. Samson was a man of supernatural strength granted to him by the Lord to deliver Israel from the Philistines. Delilah, a woman of the Philistines, captured Samson’s attention with her beauty. She used her feminine charms to get Samson to divulge the secretContinue reading “The God Who Holds History”
His Name is Holy
“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones” (Isaiah 57:15). This verse teachesContinue reading “His Name is Holy”
God, Our Creator, Benefactor, and Savior
Nothing we own really belongs to us. The Scriptures teach “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof; the world and they that dwell therein” (Psalm 24:1). Reflect for a moment on the sweeping implications of that truth. The ores and all minerals belong to the Lord and everything resulting from their development. AllContinue reading “God, Our Creator, Benefactor, and Savior”
He Controls Human History
In 605 B.C. Babylon under Nebuchadnezzar became the dominant world empire. That is how the history books record it. God, however, pulls back the veil and tells the real story to the prophet, Jeremiah. “Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel…I have made the earth, the man and the beast that areContinue reading “He Controls Human History”
Men’s Words or God’s Word
The Apostle Paul commended the Thessalonian believers for their reception of his ministry among them. In fact, he was particularly given to rejoicing because “when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God,Continue reading “Men’s Words or God’s Word”
I Fell on My Face
The Apostle John was exiled to the island of Patmos “for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ” (Revelation 1:9). It was there that the Spirit of God gave him a vision of the glorified Savior. “I saw…one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to theContinue reading “I Fell on My Face”
His Understanding is Infinite
The Psalmist wrote “Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite” (Psalm 147:5). It really should not surprise us to understand that the God who created all things quite literally knows all things, as well. One naturally follows the other. He created the galaxies, our universe and solar system; he hungContinue reading “His Understanding is Infinite”
A God That Judges
Has there ever been such a time as this when doing wrong came so easy and doing right was resisted so vehemently? We are tempted to question whether God is watching or whether there even be a God. Yet times such as ours are not unique. David in his generation made similar observations. However, heContinue reading “A God That Judges”
