Jeremiah

Fear ye not me? saith the Lord: will ye not tremble at my presence, which have placed the sand for the bound of the sea by a perpetual decree, that it cannot pass it: and though the waves thereof toss themselves, yet can they not prevail; though they roar, yet they not pass over it? But this people hath a revolting and rebellious heart; they are revolted and gone.

- Jeremiah 5:22, 23

I've been studying through Jeremiah the last few weeks and this morning as I read through chapter 5 these verses stood out.

It is so amazing how that all of God's creation... apart from man, obey the boundaries He has ordained. Even the seas obey, but we His people are so quick to go astray.

A wonderful and horrible things is committed in the land; the prophets prophecy falsely, and the priests bear rule by their means; and my people love to have it so: and what will you do in the end thereof?

- Jeremiah 5:30, 31

Beginning John

It is pretty awesome the way that the Lord works. I've been praying for nearly two years that I'd have the opportunity to teach the Gospel of John when we got to it on Sunday mornings... Now I recognize that it was likely God's way of preparation.

We'll be beginning the Book of John this weekend and I am very much looking forward to it.

Numbers...

In Romans 7 we read, "What I will to do, that I do not practice; but what I hate, that I do." If you can identify with the Apostle Paul and the Romans 7 experience then you'll understand the Book of Numbers. We find here, among the wilderness wanderings of Israel, important applications for our life and walk as believers.

The Book of Numbers

Leviticus

Leviticus is almost like the roadblock of the Old Testament. Yearly, well-intentioned believers set out to read the Bible in its entirety only to stop at this, the third book. Why has God even placed this book in His inspired word if it no longer applies to His people? Check out this weeks Podcast as we consider its purpose and placement.
