    We never get what we expect or deserve, we get what we need for spiritual growth, and we recieve grace and mercy.

    Wouldn’t it have been easier if God just would’ve have simply killed Ahab and Jezebel and replaced them with a Godly king and queen? If I was advising Elijah on these matters that’s what I would have advised him to pray for. I mean a drought is a painful thing, no rain for 3 ½ years is bad. ...read more

    God stands at the end of our rabbit trails when we have exhausted all human options

    You’ve probably heard the phrase, “going down a rabbit trail.” Wild rabbits don’t like to saunter down Main Street; they prefer bolting down trails leading deep into the woods. (By the way, jackrabbits are capable of speeds up to 40 mph to evade predators). To go down a “rabbit trail,” then, means ...read more

    Elijah’s obedience to announcing judgement on Israel because of apostacy landed him in stressful situations but God wonderfully provided for him.

    ELIJAH AT KERITH AND ZAREPHATH Being a prophet in Israel wasn’t a bundle of fun! Elijah often found himself in stressful situations. True, he had the prestige of being Jehovah’s messenger to those who recognized him, but all too often his message wasn’t welcomed and he became very unpopular. ...read more

    Pulpit drama, imaginatively reconstructing Elijah

    Elijah: Zarephath! What a lovely town! It’s always good to come to Zarephath. A man wants to feel welcomed, and I find that here.

    Number one in a series looking at the imagery in the modern Hymn These are the days of Elijah, looking at Elijah and being faithful to the word of God.

    Introduction These are the days of Elijah. It’s a popular modern hymn. Sorry, but I refuse to call a song a chorus when it has two verses and a chorus just because it was written later than the 18th century. But anyway its quite a popular modern hymn. However, as with so many of our hymns and ...read more
