    The sinful cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for their sinfulness. Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back at the cities. Do we deserve the same fate for looking back to our sinful lives?

    Pillar of Salt Genesis 19:15-26 And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city. And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, ...read more

    “for me to live is Christ. To die is gain” (Philippians 1). But for those who have no such relationship to Jesus, the end of the world is destruction of everything they hold dear. It is the end of all that matters. It is, truly, dreadful.

    Revelation 6:12 and I saw when he opened the sixth seal, and there was a huge earthquake, and the sun became black like sackcloth made of hair, and the whole moon became like blood, 13. And the stars of heaven fell to the earth, like a fig tree throws off its figs when shaken by a powerful ...read more

    All across America today, pastors and church leaders are being silenced. And when the church is silent, that’s when society as a whole suffers, and compromise begins to set in.

    Introduction: I recently read a great article entitled, “America’s Moral Decay” the writer of this article stated that, “America is incrementally and systematically Rejecting God. As a result, our nation is experiencing unparalleled moral decay. National immorality ...read more

    Pride and humility are the outcomes of attitudes and opinion we harbor and the choices we make. The harmful results of pride are repeatedly contrasted with humility & with its benefits. So the sayings in Proverbs hammer hard against pride & drives home th

    PRIDE VERSES HUMILITY Proverbs 11:2 Proverbs is direct and forceful in rejecting pride and honoring humility. Pride is pagan behavior. It has no place in the lives of God's people.

    Just as the ram was the replacement for Isaac, we have to remember that Christ is the replacement for each of us in terms of our punishment, sin & He will replace our griefs, worries, fears & dread with His spirit if we will allow Him to.

    The Replacement Genesis 22:13-14 I. The Replacement for our Punishment “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” Isa. 53:5 We deserved nothing short of death for our sin. ...read more

    Humans become like those rebels when they forget that their primary mission in life is to live and die in love with God and neighbor.

    Saturday of 29th Week in Course 2022 Jesus always paid attention to the local news, wherever He might have been ministering. Today’s Gospel actually gives us two situations in which Jesus gets to comment on something happening in Jerusalem, something that these days would make at least page two of ...read more

    The mood of fear is evoked in each of the three punishments

    The mood of fear is evoked in each of the three punishments according to Jewish biblical-era legislation (called halakhic legislation). Reading and hearing Scripture is "imaging the real" in all of its "moods”—and letting the tone of the text bring one to the truth of the ...read more

    Even as Jesus suffered offense at the hands of others, every Christian shall likewise suffer. How we respond to this offense is important.

    Don't Offend MY Children, or Else! Mark 9:38-50 It is a bit odd that this week’s gospel text from the lectionary begins with John’s response to what Jesus had just said. It is poor practice to start in the middle of a paragraph. Before we can analyze this text, we need to ask: “What was John ...read more
