11-29-21 Today in the Word

The Lord Is Faithful Monday, November 29 | Micah 7:14–17 My wife and I gave our oldest son a Hebrew name, Ari Zechariah. Ari means “lion,” because we hope and pray that he will be as brave and strong as a lion. Zechariah is Hebrew for “the LORD remembers,” a testament to God’s faithfulness throughout our lives. We want our son, every time he thinks of his name, to know that God remembers and God is faithful. Remembering the ways God has worked in our lives is a key part of worshiping Him, and it helps us remain faithful to Him as well! As we close our study on Micah, we will consider what it meant for Micah’s audience, and what it means for us today, to remember God’s faithfulness. Micah asks the Lord to “Shepherd your people with your staff...as in days long ago” (v. 14). The Lord responds that He will of course do that in a way that recalls His past faithfulness: “As in the days when you came out of Egypt, I will show them my wonders” (v. 15). Here, the Lord is reminding them of when He first covenanted with Israel to make them His own people. He had promised the patriarchs—Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob—His blessing and protection, but Exodus marked the first time that God covenanted with the nation as a whole. By promising Micah’s audience that He would show them wonders like He did in Egypt, God was reminding them of the incredible work He had already done. Because of His past faithfulness—His past leading them out of Egypt as their Good Shepherd—His people could be absolutely certain that He would continue to guide their steps. >> Make a list of the ways God has been faithful to you and to your family in the past. Tuck this list into your Bible or maybe post it somewhere for everyone to read (they can even add more items). Make it a part of your prayers this week. Pray With Us Remembering the Hall of Faith in Hebrews 11, we see that each person had faith because they trusted a God who is faithful. You are the One who teaches us what it means to be constant. We worship You!

9-18-23 Rage Against Jesus And His People — The Ominous Trend Of 2022

Rage Against Jesus And His People — The Ominous Trend Of 2022 – By Hal Lindsey - https://harbingersdaily.com/rage-against-jesus-and-his-people-the-ominous-trend-of-2022/ By the end of 2022, eight billion people lived on the earth. They were besieged by a series of plagues, droughts, false prophets, war, the threat of greater war, hatred, rage, theft, and violence. The eight billion were fragmented in a variety of ways — according to their nations, level of income, race, gender, various understandings of gender and human sexuality, along with religion or the lack thereof. Change became overwhelming to most of the eight billion. For those over 40, it was almost unfathomable that by the end of 2022, not even half the students at Cambridge University identified as heterosexual. In 2022, deception ruled the day. Trust in government, educational institutions, and the news media had been largely obliterated. Trust in health officials and doctors had become severely damaged. In suc

9-16-23 Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19

Little-Known Prophecies of Christmas, Pt 3: Genesis 17:19 :: By Paul J. Scharf Published on: December 24, 2022 by RR10 Category:General Articles The Messiah was a descendant of Abraham. More than that, we considered last time how He was, in fact, promised within the covenant that God made with Abram (Gen. 12:1-3). According to the Apostle Paul in Gal. 3:16 and 19, He is the ultimate recipient of that covenant! Our Savior Jesus Christ is finally the One through whom “all the families of the earth shall be blessed” (Gen. 12:3). Paul also quoted and discussed that portion of the covenant in Gal. 3:8-9. We ended last time with the realization that the promised Messiah would be the final Davidic king over Israel. As declared then, however, there are several intermediate steps, with accompanying prophecies, which are given between the times of Abraham and David and speak about His coming and the offices He would hold as the greatest prophet, priest, and king. And there are also more ance

9-18-23 Power of God’s Control

Power of God’s Control – Terry James - https://terryjamesprophecyline.com/2022/12/25/power-of-gods-control/ Going back just a way in my personal history, I’ll divulge my one-time wanting more than anything to be a cape-wearing, soaring superhero. In that regard, there’s a photograph somewhere in the family archive of myself, Pappy, and David all wearing capes (towels). All three of us were about 6, I think—the age when I was saved in the Seventh Street Tabernacle Church on the corner of Seventh and Derby in Pekin, Illinois. Superman was the rage in the “funny books” (my sons mock me now for using that term for comic books). We studied the Man of Steel and wanted more than anything to fly and perform super feats of strength. Sometimes it got us in trouble –like when we jumped from places higher than were safe for mere mortals with towels affixed around necks. So Pappy, David, and I proved that human beings’ desire for supernatural powers must begin early in life. But what we
