    Then he made two golden calves, and he said to the people, “Going to Jerusalem is too difficult for you. Israel, here is your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt.” He set up one in Bethel, and put the other in Dan. 1 Kings 12:28,29 First, Jeroboam built two idols and placed them in Bethel ...read more

    Every message should bring a revelation of Jesus and His nature, as well as the Cross, which brings a holy fear that leads to repentance.

    In a vision, God takes a young person to a big church packed with people. The sermon was good, but God was outside watching what was going on in the church. It was an inspiring ,encouraging and motivating message. But God was sad. Then God opened young person’s eyes, and he saw idols in their ...read more

    When Rights Are Wrong

     | 79 views

    Just because you have a right to do something doesn't mean that it is right for you to do it.

It's so full of illustrations of the use and misuse of power that I could probably spend the whole month before moving on to 2 Kings, which is just as rich with examples ...read more
