This morning, as part of my NT Survey, I read through the gospel of Mark in one sitting. If you’ve never done it, I highly recommend it…very edifying.
We have a full weekend.
Tonight, we have a baby shower for our friends Amy and Andrew.
Tomorrow, we are having a fondue birthday party for my sister Lydia at […]

an encouraging passage
Posted in Scripture on Apr 3rd, 2008
This morning, during my devotions, I read this very timely passage:
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds […]
“But he gave him no answer, not even to a single charge, so that the governor was greatly amazed” (Matthew 27:14 ESV).
“He had never been slow of speech when He could bless the sons of men, but He would not say a single word for Himself. ‘Never man spake like this Man,’ and never man […]
“Jesus said unto them, ‘If ye seek me, let these go their way.’”
(John 18.8 KJV)
“Mark, my soul, the care which Jesus manifested even in His hour of trial, towards the sheep of His hand! The ruling passion is strong in death. He resigns Himself to the enemy, but He interposes a word of power to […]

When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. And this is eternal life, that […]

and there be no herd in the stalls,

I will take joy in the God of my salvation.
GOD, the Lord, is my […]

During the reign of king Saul over the nation of Israel in around 1050 BC, we are told that
“…there was no blacksmith to be found throughout all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, ‘Lest the Hebrews make themselves swords or spears.’ But every one of the Israelites went down to the Philistines to […]
“Be glad, O children of Zion,
and rejoice in the LORD your God,
for he has given the early rain for your vindication;
he has poured down for you abundant rain,
the early and the latter rain, as before.”
(Joel 2:23 ESV)
The early and the latter rain
That falls upon the arid ground,
Refreshes my weary soul again,
As the showers fall all […]
The book of Hosea is full of graphic language of the LORD’s displeasure and wrath over the nation of Israel’s wayward behavior. And yet, at the end of the book, the LORD gives this counsel to His rebellious children, “Take with you words and return to the LORD; say to him, ‘Take away all iniquity…’”
Too often, […]
Many of the prophets in the Old Testament spoke in graphic language at times to convey the impact that their message carried. And the prophet Ezekiel is no different. In chapter 16, the Lord GOD speaks through Ezekiel, likening the city of Jerusalem to a cast off birth that no one wanted. But the LORD […]
