Do The Dew (Of Heaven!)

Contributed by Maurice Mccarthy on Oct 3, 2012

A sermon talking about spiritual experiences that are more comparable to dew than downpours. Dew falls silently, saturates and penetrates, satisifies completely, and is just as valid as a spritual downpour.

(Note to pastors, here is a link for a "Dew" commercial where the thrust is that you can’t do life without your dew. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AlKVbt8K7kY) Ho 14:4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.

The Lord Whose Name Is Jealous Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Jul 21, 2022

The way this name of God is used here is unique and only as part of the ten commandments or in the giving of the ten commandments. You could sum up the name of the Lord, Jealous as: it is his nature to give and expect us to obey the first two of the ten commandments.

There are two of his names that reflect these aspects of his character. The Lord is our Holiness. The Lord is our ...read more

Contributed by Clarence Eisberg on Sep 6, 2017
