Malachi: Dealing Treacherously with Those We Love
Message from Malachi A Prophetic Warning to the Church Dealing Treacherously with Those We Love "For the Lord God of Israel says that He hates divorce, for it covers one's garment with violence." Malachi 2:16 Beginning in Malachi 2:10, there is a shift from God's...
Podcast 261: Down with the “D” Word!
In the latter half of Malachi 2 God employs some strong words to convey His feelings about His people and their attitude towards Him. He uses treacherously five times in 8 verses. We also find profane or profaning, abomination, and God saying He literally hates...
Podcast 260: Go and Sin No More
Sometimes we accept the forgiveness of Jesus and assume it's simply a one-sided act. He does all the work and we reap all the benefits. It's like changing the lyrics to the old song that goes: "Jesus paid it all." And with this we agree. "All to Him I owe." Uh,...

Faith, Worry, and Anxiety
The following is George Muller's take on Matthew 6:33. These are words I need to memorize and recite daily. "Where anxiety begins, faith ends. When faith begins, anxiety ends." And remember the words of Jesus: "But seek first the kingdom of God and His...
Podcast 258: Living in the Realm of the First Importance
Jesus placed as first importance the need to count the costs (Luke 14:28) before coming to Him and partaking of His life (John 7:37-38). But many today fail to embrace, or even consider, what it means to truly follow Christ. We debate among ourselves trivial...
No Man Ever Spoke Like This Man!
After Jesus, on the last day of the Feast of Tabernacles, presented His invitation to the unbelieving crowd, the people were naturally divided as to what to do with this Jesus and His teaching (John 7:43). Jesus offered His invitation, His gospel presentation of...
