Are you in a close orbit with God? Are you doing whatever it takes to get closer to God and to help others do the ...read more

    Mary and Martha both knew Jesus, but Mary was doing what was more important. Sometimes, we need to spend time dedicated to God, and away from the fast paced, hectic way of the world.

    "When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" We talk about our disappointment with God, but is God ever puzzled by our lack of faith?

    The parable of the widow and the unjust judge relates to our disappointment with God. Like the mistreated widow, we often wonder why God allows so much pain and injustice to go on. We pray and pray and yet no answer comes. The righteous perish and the wicked flourish. Sometimes we even wonder, ...read more

    Hosea tells Israel it is time for them to seek Jehovah that He might hear their prayer and see the evidence of their sincerity and rain His righteous blessing upon them rather than judgment. Like Israel I believe God is telling us today that “It is Time.”

    It is Time Hosea 10:12 “Sow for yourselves righteousness; Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground, For it is time to seek the Lord, Till He comes and rains righteousness on you.” After the death of Solomon, In 922 BCE, the Kingdom of Israel was divided.
