    In wanting a king at all, Israel was rejecting the LORD’s kingship. But the LORD allowed it.

    SAUL PROCLAIMED KING. 1 Samuel 10:17-24. Saul and his servant had set out from their home with no greater commission than to find his father’s lost donkeys (cf. 1 Samuel 9:3).

    The righteous LORD draws nigh unto all that call upon Him.

    THE NEARNESS OF THE LORD. Psalm 145:17-21. Our trust in the LORD is not based in our ability to believe, but in His perfections. He is righteous in all His ways: He is just.

    THE POWERS THAT BE. Romans 13:1-7. “The powers that be” to whom “every soul” is to be “subject” (ROMANS 13:1) are called “rulers” in ROMANS 13:3 (translated as ‘magistrates’ in Luke 12:11), “who do not bear the sword in vain” (ROMANS 13:4). We are to “be subject unto” them because “the powers ...read more

     | 801 views

    The Word of God is good seed (Luke 8:11): of that there is no doubt. So why is it that it does not have a good result in the lives of all those who hear it? The fault is in the soil.

    THE PARABLE OF THE SOWER EXPLAINED. Luke 8:4-15. There were great crowds pressing to see Jesus, straining to hear His words, or perhaps hoping for a healing touch. We can imagine Jesus spotting a farmer sowing seed somewhere nearby, and using this to illustrate His own ministry. This parable ...read more
