I’ve been spending some time pondering God’s call to the second generation out of Egypt to commit to Him for blessings and to be wise about the consequences of rebellion. While this book and these passages are specifically directed to the Israel Joshua was about to assume leadership over, there are points important for us today. Here... Continue Reading →

I have reviewed the message of January 27th two times at our Facebook page under videos and decided to jot some notes to post for future thought – here goes: Stone #1 A ladder with ministering spirits moving showed that God was active in our world and then God spoke to Jacob. We have set apart... Continue Reading →
The Law
The last couple of Sundays we have been pondering the Law of God, especially the Ten Commandments. This is important for we know that ALL Scripture was given by God and is profitable (II Tim 3:16) and we know that the Law is not over us (Rom 6:14, 8:2) as it does not save (Gal 2:16). Yet,...

Micah 6:8 in 2019
One piece of the teaching at the Men's Advance held on Saturday, Dec. 29, was based on Micah 6:8. So, what does God want from us in 2019? Three things! The same three things He wanted from us in 2018 and in 2016 and in 2015, etc. He wants us to exercise justice, love mercy,... Continue Reading →
Post-Christmas Thoughts
So that was Christmas 2018. How'd you do? Thinking on the past hours, these come to mind: a tree - a cross, Acts 5:30 lights - I am the light of the world, John 8:12 food - I am the bread of life, John 6:48 family - He was in the world reconciling a people to Himself,... Continue Reading →

Some 3:16’s
Meditate on each - especially the last one! II Timothy - All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work. John - For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in... Continue Reading →
Jeremiah 3
Jeremiah 3 is a very interesting and important chapter (Come, aren't they all? Well, maybe some more than others – example: I Chronicles 5). Jeremiah was hearing from God about the countries of Israel and Judah, which about 400 years earlier were one nation under King David. In the midst of a number of issues, the... Continue Reading →
Micah Musing #4
Micah 7:1, “Woe is me!” Often thought by many a person during their lifetime and over the centuries around the world. And what is the antidote? God! Not just any god! Thoughts: “Woe is me” is certainly true when looking horizontally – when looking at men and our world. However, “Woe is me!” is not fully true because there... Continue Reading →
Micah Musing #3
Micah 7:1, “Woe is me!” – it sounds like our friend Job. Micah was in a mess not of his making, but never-the-less, in a large mess! God was drawing the Assyrians down to destroy the northern kingdom of Israel in a few short years and Micah was screaming at the top of his lungs to... Continue Reading →
