God is the great weights and measures inspector who weighs men’s hearts and deeds. God expects an even balance and not a false weight.

Job 31 1I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid? 2For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high? 3Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity? 4Doth not he see my ways, and count ...read more

I Know History; I Do Not Know Myself Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Mar 4, 2002

based on 31 ratings

| 9,893 views

It is one thing to know history and theology; it is another entirely to understand our own hearts. Job’s pilgrimage into self-understanding led to self-hatred, but in Christ that can be redeemed.

I’ll ask you to repeat with me this wonderful, ringing affirmation from the New Testament: But I am not ashamed, for I know the one in whom I have put my trust, and I am sure that he is able to guard until that day what I have entrusted to him. I know. I know the one in whom I have put my trust. ...read more

I Know You Are Watching Series

based on 29 ratings

When we consider that God is watching us, we may ask, as Job did, whether He is watching us to hurt us, to humiliate us, or to rescue us. Actually He is watching us in love to empower us.

“I can’t let you out of my sight for one minute.” How many parents here have ever said that? “I can’t let you out of my sight for one minute.” How many have said it at least a thousand times? You said it to a small child, bent on doing something that would hurt. You said it to an older ...read more

based on 61 ratings

There are times we are tempted to accuse God of negligence in the way he runs our lives. But God reminds us that we can trust him.

JOB 38:1-11 QUESTIONING GOD I was talking to a friend of mine the other day, who is also a pastor, and he was describing to me one of his members. “This member is a modern-day Job,” he told me. Why do you think he described one of his members as a “modern-day Job”? I’m sure it’s because of all ...read more

Who Dares To Question The Lord

based on 91 ratings

| 12,958 views

A first-person narrative. When in our suffering we challenge the Lord like Job did, he works repentance in us so that we stand dumbfounded at his wisdom and power and stand astounded at his promise of grace.

Who Dares to Question the Lord Good Morning. I thank you for this opportunity to speak to you. My name is Job. I realize that because of the way it is spelled in English, you would usually pronounce it “job.” But it is Job. Please allow me to give you a little bit of background about myself. I ...read more

No Better Than We Are Series

based on 23 ratings

It is a dangerous illusion to excuse our selves by claiming that we are no worse than anyone else. We find faults in people who look too perfect or who don’t give us what we want when we want it. But help comes from Jesus, who IS better than we are.

When you get caught in some sort of blunder, how do you get out of it? How do you take care of your guilt when you are weighed in the balances and found wanting? Let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that you’ve shaded the truth. I will not suggest that you have lied; you have shaded the ...read more

This was a funeral message for a believer who had suffered a great deal with cancer.

Funeral October 9, 2002 One of the unique things about being a pastor in this denomination is the fact that very rarely do I do funerals for people I don’t know. Usually when I bring the message at a funeral service, I know the person for at least a few years. Because of this I don’t bring a ...read more
