Habakkuk 2:14 & 20 For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. But the LORD is in his holy temple: let all the earth keep silence before him. In all of this crime, hatred, perversion, rape, murder, and heartache, where is God? […]

Nobody in their right mind can hear the reports of violence and death in our schools and be unaffected. It should greatly disturb us and move us to be proactive in heading off future problems.

Genesis is known as the book of beginnings. In it we find the first mention of many things: sin, death, marriage, childbirth, prayer, rain, etc. The book begins with creation and ends with a coffin in Egypt. Joseph dies at 110 years of age. He served the Lord until the very end. As he lay […]

1 Cor. 10:1-12 Are you in the habit of thanking God for only what you want? In the habit of grumbling a little when things don’t go the way YOU like them? So what’s wrong with a little grumbling? What difference does it make? All the difference in the world! Marriages usually don’t break up […]
