For they have given a tiny part of their surplus, but she, poor as she is, has given everything she has." Luke 21:1-4 NLT Jesus directed His followers’ attention to a poor widow who had dropped her last two coins into the temple... Read more ..read more

They Despised God’s Rest SCRIPTURE READING — AMOS 8:1-14 “When will . . . the Sabbath be ended that we may market wheat?”—skimping on the measure, boosting the price and cheating with dishonest scales. . . . — Amos 8:5 Many of Israel’s rich and powerful merchants and other leaders despised God’s rest and justice.

We can argue, pre-trib, mid-trib, post-trib, 2nd coming and the timing of all those things. But hopefully this thread isn't about all that. The timing doesn't matter that much to me. But the plain and simple truth is, Jesus is coming back one day. John 14:2; "In My Father's house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. John 14:3; "If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and... Read more ..read more

But as for me, I will always proclaim what God has done; I will sing praises to the God of Jacob. For God says, "I will break the strength of the wicked, but I will increase the power of the godly." Psalm 75:9-10 NLT Asaph, the writer of Psalm 75, recognized that the world around him was filled with defiant, wicked men whose hearts and minds were set on all sorts of wrongdoing. If Asaph had lived today, he would certainly have made the same observations. But, unlike so many who... Read more ..read more

Enter His Rest SCRIPTURE READING — HEBREWS 3:12-4:11 Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest, so that no one will perish by following their example of disobedience. — Hebrews 4:11 Justice requires that debts be paid.

Naboth’s Vineyard SCRIPTURE READING — 1 KINGS 21:1-19 Ahab said to Naboth, “Let me have your vineyard to use for a vegetable garden. . . .” But Naboth replied, “The Lord forbid that I should give you the inheritance of my ancestors.” — 1 Kings 21:2- 3 When God gave Israel the land he had promised them, each clan received a tract of land as their inheritance.

Ahab was so persistent to carry out his own will to conquer Ramoth Gilead that he tried to work-around God’s prophecy in an attempt to outsmart God. However, tried as he might, his disguise didn’t save him. He still could not avoid his death as God had foretold. Ahab might think he was smart to disguise himself but let king Jehoshaphat wear his royal robes so that Jehoshaphat could be the enemy’s target instead of himself. However, man can never outwit God. As (Proverbs 19:21) says, “Many... Read more ..read more
