Memories can Haunt Us As we pass through our lives we will pass through many valleys that hold memories of the “shadows of death” that David, King of Israel, spoke about in the well-known passage found in the 23rd Psalm. How we position these experiences in our memories will govern not only how we recall
The Stars of the Heaven “Whom he justified, them he also glorified.” (Romans 8:30) “Promises are made to be broken” is an often-used conversation device employed to describe the inability of well-intended people to keep their promises to themselves and others. This weakness in human behavior is not just a present-day experience. The history of this
“Thou hatest wickedness.” Psalm 45:7 Does God’s love supplant His righteous anger? These words, “Thou hatest wickedness” were prophetic words spoken about the coming Saviour, Jesus. Could it be true that God, who the Bible declares is the very essence of love, is capable of anger? The love of God and the righteous anger of God are
“Cursed be the man before the Lord, that riseth up and buildeth this city Jericho.” Joshua 6:26 The power of God to destroy the walls of evil is made evident in this account of the destruction of the city of Jericho. The city was not destroyed by the military might of a powerful nation. The people
The Yoke of Bondage “That henceforth we should not serve sin.” Romans 6:6 Slavery is a stain on the history of humanity.

There is None Righteous The question of why bad things happen to good people is based on a false precept. The bible is clear: “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God.” (Rom 3:10-11) Jesus declares, “there is none good
“The king also himself passed over the brook Kidron.” 2 Samuel 15:23 What a low point in the life of David. The prophet Samuel declared to Saul, the soon to be deposed King of Israel, which in David God had found, “a man after his own heart.” (1Sa 13:14) What were the events in the life of this
Not by Accident The world did not come into existence with a loud bang in space but rather from the spoken word of God. There was not a dark hole of energy that exploded into a cascading chaos that stumbled into order but rather it was the intent and will of God that brought into
“He will make her wilderness like Eden.” Isaiah 51:3 The promise of restoration by God gives great hope and relief to the ones who are experiencing time in the dark and terrible experiences in their pilgrimage in this world. God is in the restoration business. Through the prophet Isaiah, God promised Israel their land would be
