Should not shepherds feed the sheep? … you do not feed the sheep … the strayed you have not brought back …the lost you have not sought … My sheep were scattered over all the face of the earth, with none to search or seek for them. —Ezekiel 34:2-6 If you lost $1000, would you seek for it? How about if you lost $10, would you seek for that? If we misplace something or something we value is lost, then we seek it out. How many of us have looked for lost keys to the car, a lost wallet with all the valuable information in it or something else that…

Our ancestors sinned and are no more, and we bear their punishment. —Lamentations 5:7 Does our generation largely have the attitude that it is OK to economically enslave the future generations with our irresponsible spending? That was the mindset of King Hezekiah. He thought it was OK that hard times would be on the future generation as long as peace and security existed in his life-time. “Then Isaiah said to Hezekiah, “Hear the word of the Lord Almighty: The time will surely come when everything in your palace, and all that your predecessors have stored up until this day, will be carried off to Babylon. Nothing will be left, says…

My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds have led them astray… —Jeremiah 50:6 Unfortunately they were not reading the compass correctly and were leading the whole group in the wrong direction. Fortunately they caught their mistake and headed in the right direction to find the next point in the compass course. They found the next point and finished the course, but they lost time with their error. In Jeremiah’s day the shepherds were leading God’s people astray and the people were like lost sheep. Some things do not change. In our day, in America, there are shepherds that are leading people astray. They call themselves “spiritual leaders” but they…

Yours is the day, yours also the night; you have established the heavenly lights and the sun. You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you have made summer and winter. —Psalm 74:16-17 Give me evidence that car was created. Give me evidence that house was created. Give me evidence that boat, train, chair, brick, computer, glass, phone, copier, clock was created and had a creator. Give me evidence or I will not believe it had a creator. No, these things just evolved all by themselves and came into being. Yet so many say that trees in their variety, flowers in great assortments , birds of numerous array, animals…

(They) will know whose word will stand—mine or theirs. —Jeremiah 44:28 I don’t believe what the Bible says! There is no heaven or hell and when we die that is it. There is no existence after this body dies. Jesus did not die for man’s sin and there is not judgment of man after death. There is no such thing as sin. Some man made all this up and made up the Bible as well. Are you really that sure? Are you going to put your eternal destiny on the line with those statements? Be very sure that one day you will know, but if you adhere to the ideas…

They were angry with Jeremiah and had him beaten and imprisoned in the house of Jonathan the secretary, which they had made into a prison. —Jeremiah 37:15 Pastor Saeed Abedini is still being held prisoner in and Iranian prison. Twenty-seven year old Meriam Yehya Ibrahim was held in a Sudanese where she gave birth to her second child. What was their crime? They are followers of Jesus and the countries they were in at the time of their arrest were Muslim dominated. There are those in this world who hate the Lord Jesus and those who follow Him, but this is nothing new. In the verse above the prophet Jeremiah…

Whenever Jehudi had read three or four columns of the scroll, the king cut them off with a scribe’s knife and threw them into the firepot, until the entire scroll was burned in the fire. —Jeremiah 36:23 Years ago I read a book about the persecution of Christians in Russia. This guy, Sergei, was enlisted by the KGB to go around to where Christians were meeting, beat them, confiscate the Bibles and Christian literature he found and burn it all. Those ordering him to destroy God’s Word had no problems whatsoever in having him do so. Fortunately, in this case, Sergei came to the Lord after reading some of what…

It is I who by my great power and my outstretched arm have made the earth, with the men and animals that are on the earth, and I give it to whomever it seems right to me. —Jeremiah 27:5 Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for light by day and the fixed order of the moon and the stars for light by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the Lord of hosts is his name: “If this fixed order departs from before me, declares the Lord, then shall the offspring of Israel cease from being a nation before me forever.” Thus says the…

And among the prophets of Jerusalem I have seen something horrible: They commit adultery and live a lie …because from the prophets of Jerusalem ungodliness has spread throughout the land …each one’s word becomes their own message. So you distort the words of the living God, the Lord Almighty, our God. —Jeremiah 23:14-15; 36 There are those now among even “mainstream denominations” that are accepting ungodly sexual perversions as “Christian.” These leaders are living a lie and promoting ungodliness in the land. What they are communicating are their own words and not the Word of God. They distort the Word of God to justify their encouragement of wickedness. Unfortunately, in…

You have become guilty by the blood that you have shed, and defiled by the idols that you have made, and you have brought your days near, the appointed time of your years has come. —Ezekiel 22:4 …but me you have forgotten, declares the Lord God. — Ezekiel 22:12 And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall and stand in the breach before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none. — Ezekiel 22:30 The phone rang and I answered it. Unfortunately I had missed a dental appointment and the voice on the other end of the line…
