KEEP COMING TO OUR LORD— NOTHING IS TOO DIFFICULT FOR HIM!

HAVING THE FAITH OF ABRAHAM The Lord had said to Abram, “Go from your country, your people and your father’s household to the land I will show you.  “I will make you into a great nation, and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing.  I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” —Genesis 12:1-3 Abram believed the Lord, and he credited it to him as righteousness. —Genesis 15:6 In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. —Psalm 4:8             Like…

YOU ARE FOR CHRIST OR ANTI-CHRIST— YOUR ACTIONS REVEAL WHICH “As long as the earth endures, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night will never cease.” —Genesis 8:22 And for your lifeblood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each human being, too, I will demand an accounting for the life of another human being. “Whoever sheds human blood, by humans shall their blood be shed; for in the image of God has God made mankind. —Genesis 9:5-6             The passages above cover a couple important topics of our day.  The first— so called “climate change”…

ONE YEAR CLOSER TO THE COMING JUDGMENT— BE READY! If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.” —Genesis 4:7 The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. The Lord regretted that he had made human beings on the earth, and his heart was deeply troubled. So the Lord said, “I will wipe from the face of the earth the human race I have created—and…

2025—ANOTHER NEW YEAR! God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the sixth day. —Genesis 1:31 The Lord God made all kinds of trees grow out of the ground—trees that were pleasing to the eye and good for food. In the middle of the garden were the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. —Genesis 2:9 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree in the garden; but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for when you eat from it you will certainly…

DECEMBER 31, 2024— REFLECT ON THE YEAR When you offer blind animals in sacrifice, is that not evil? And when you offer those that are lame or sick, is that not evil? Present that to your governor; will he accept you or show you favor? says the LORD of hosts.  —Malachi 1:8 Will man rob God? Yet you are robbing me. But you say, ‘How have we robbed you?’ In your tithes and contributions. —Malachi 3:8  “Behold, I am coming soon, bringing my recompense with me, to repay everyone for what he has done.” —Revelation 22:12 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen.

ONLY NAME ABOVE ALL OTHERS The Lord will be king over the whole earth. On that day there will be one Lord, and his name the only name. —Zechariah 14:9  And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Look! God’s dwelling place is now among the people, and he will dwell with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. ‘He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death’ or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.” —Revelation 21:3-4             For those of us who trust the Word of God as the…

THE DEVIL’S ENTRAPMENT OF MAN For the household gods utter nonsense, and the diviners see lies; they tell false dreams and give empty consolation. Therefore the people wander like sheep; they are afflicted for lack of a shepherd. —Zechariah 10:2             Think of this— “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.” —John 1:1-3             Then this— “The Son (Jesus) is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in Him all things were created, things in heaven and…

 DIAMOND HARD HEARTS “Thus says the LORD of hosts, Render true judgments, show kindness and mercy to one another, do not oppress the widow, the fatherless, the sojourner, or the poor, and let none of you devise evil against another in your heart.” But they refused to pay attention and turned a stubborn shoulder and stopped their ears that they might not hear. They made their hearts diamond-hard lest they should hear the law and the words that the LORD of hosts had sent by his Spirit through the former prophets. Therefore great anger came from the LORD of hosts. —Zechariah 7:9-12             It is a diamond hard heart that puts one life…

THE WORLD IS PASSING AWAY AND SO ARE YOU ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty. —Zechariah 4:6 ‘I sit enthroned as queen.  I am not a widow; I will never mourn.’ —Revelation 18:7 In one hour she has been brought to ruin! —Revelation 18:19             Only what is done through the power of God’s Holy Spirit will bear eternal fruit.  No power on earth can bear anything good and righteous without God.  Oh, yes, good things can be done from the human perspective, but God knows the motivation of every man’s heart and knows why they do what they do.  Man apart from God’s…
