Triumphant Tenderness
Our fragility is no match for His tender mercy. Luke 1:57-80 – When it was time for Elizabeth’s baby to be born, she gave birth to a son. And when her neighbors and relatives heard that the Lord had been very merciful to her, everyone rejoiced with her. When the baby was eight days old, they all came for the circumcision ceremony. They wanted to name him…
The Dead? Sea
Be Alert; the Deadly Agenda of Sin is Highly Contagious Romans 1:18-32 – The wrath of God is being revealed from heaven against all the godlessness and wickedness of people, who suppress the truth by their wickedness, since what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world God’s invisible…
Hope for Those Who Mourn
The Storm is not for your devastation but for your preservation. Ecclesiastes 7:1-2 – A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of everyone; the living should take this to heart.
The Oasis Location: En Gedi
The beauty of an Oasis only exists in a desert. 1 Samuel 24 – After Saul returned from pursuing the Philistines, he was told, “David is in the Desert of En Gedi.” So Saul took three thousand able young men from all Israel and set out to look for David and his men near the Crags of the Wild Goats. He came to the sheep pens along the way; a cave was there, and Saul…

How “Social” is the Gospel? – Pt 2
The Holy Spirit is always working through your kindness. Matthew 5:11-16 – Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt…
How “Social” is the Gospel?
The Social Gospel movement is a dangerous threat to the Gospel of the Bible. John 6:1-15; 25-35 – Some time after this, Jesus crossed to the far shore of the Sea of Galilee (that is, the Sea of Tiberias), and a great crowd of people followed him because they saw the signs he had performed by healing the sick. Then Jesus went up on a mountainside and sat down with…
A Salute to Pastor Pete
Suffering not only validates the Gospel but defines it. 2 Corinthians 4:16-18 – Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since…
