Last week’s article was from Jeremiah 38. We considered the wonderful Ethiopian Eunuch named Ebed-Melech who sought to help Jeremiah who was placed into a dungeon and had sank down into the mire. As we noted, Ebed-Melech went before King Zedekiah and called out what the princes had done to Jeremiah...

Lifted from the Mire
Did you know that there was another Ethiopian Eunuch mentioned in the Bible? The one that we normally know as the Ethiopian Eunuch is found of course in the NT in Acts 8 who Philip preached Christ to. The Ethiopian Eunuch heard Christ preached and believing said to Philip, “here is water what doth ...
Breaking Point
In the last couple of weeks, I have been sharing some sobering thoughts from the book of Jeremiah that has such amazing applications for us. The prophet Jeremiah had a momentous task before him and as known as the weeping prophet, Jeremiah, even in the midst of such difficult circumstances, h...
Rejected
In last week’s article we considered the first 15 verses of Jeremiah 7 in what is called “The Temple Sermon” as the Lord through the prophet Jeremiah expressed His desire for the people to “change”. The prophet Jeremiah continues in the remainder of chapter 7. When I was reading the remainder of th...
Change
In the book of Jeremiah, the people of Judah are found going through the motions of worship, with words saying, “The temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord are these” (7:4). Rather than what the temple was meant for, worshiping the Lord God, the people had relied on the ...
The Joy of Home
This past Wednesday evening in our Bible study we had such a very enjoyable energetic discussion followed by the song “This World is Not My Home.” One of the passages we considered in our discussion was what the apostle Paul stated to the Philippian brethren in Philippians 3:20-21 that says, “For&n...
Called into Deeper Waters
In Luke 5:1-11, we find some fishermen who have been casting large nets all night. They were casting and drawing it in, casting and drawing it in and so on. My arm gets tired from just casting a fishing line, and how frustrated I get when I don’t even get a nibble. These guys were pulling in these ...
Under New Management
I’ve noticed recently numerous banners in front of businesses that say, “Under New Management.” What does those words bring to your mind when you see them or hear them? We automatically consider that the business has new leadership in place, a new owner. Changes are taking place, where the things t...
Living with Eternity in Mind
In this past Wednesday’s Bible class, I thought about a story that I think of quite often when discussing the subject matter of life, death, & eternity. It’s a story about a father talking to his son about life and discussing the plans that he has as graduation gets closer. The dad wants to kno...
“It is Well”
As we begin the month of May, I thought about Mother’s Day that is quickly approaching. This serves as a reminder for all the men out there! 😉 Of course, I have never thought that Mother’s Day is sufficient as it is not about one day, but EVERY day that we celebrate and honor the help-meet that God...
