On the 14th day of the first month, the Jews celebrated the Passover. It was to commemorate their exodus from Egypt. The primary portion of the Passover meal consisted of a lamb without blemish (Exodus 12:1-5). Today, as Christians, instead of observing the Passover, we observe the Lord’s Supper in remembrance of Christ, our Passover […]
“Linda was traveling alone up the rutted and rugged highway from Alberta to the Yukon. She didn’t know you don’t travel to Whitehorse alone in a rundown Honda Civic, so she set off where only four-wheel drives normally venture. The first evening, she found a room in the mountains near a summit and asked for […]
While this wonderful hymn was written way back in 1877 by Frances Ridley Havergal, the question of the song will be relevant until the Lord comes back. It is the question that Moses asked the Israelites in the wilderness after they turned from God to serve the golden calf made by Aaron (Exodus 32:1-35). It […]
Our blogs this week have centered around the words of the Psalmist in 118:1. Psalm 118:1 (ESV) 1Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! I hope this week’s blogs have reminded us to be thankful every day for God’s goodness, because the results of an all-powerful […]
The divorce rate has gotten so out of hand in this country that there is a jewelry store in L.A. where you can actually rent wedding rings. The message is that your marriage is probably only temporary anyway, so why invest in a ring that you call your own? Just rent a ring, and when […]
John liked to use the word “whosoever.” He are some examples: 1 John 2:23 (KJV) 23 Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also. To be without God is to be in a hopeless and spiritually lost state. It is to be in […]
We should all be glad that God is good, but what is it about God that is good? There are probably too many things to cover in a blog like this, but we have been looking at a few of them this week. Let us consider another one tonight. God’s patience with us demonstrates just […]
The goodness of God is inimitable. As Christians, we should be thankful every day that God is good. His goodness can be seen in many different ways, and this week we are looking a just a few of them. One thing that accentuates the goodness of God, perhaps more than anything else, is His plan […]
As Christians, we have been adopted into the family of God (Ephesians 1:5). The result of this is that we have access to God as our Father. Romans 8:15 (ESV) 15For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons, by […]
In Psalm 118, the Psalmist makes a simple yet profound statement. Psalm 118:1 (ESV) 1Oh give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; for his steadfast love endures forever! These words are repeated in ver. 29 of the same Psalm, and then again in Psalms 106:1. Similar words are found in Psalm 100. Psalm […]
