God is angry. There’s no doubt about it! Like any parent, God gets angry when we disobey. If you’re good, you get rewarded. If not, you get punished. That’s a loving parent. Any parent who doesn’t correct and discipline a naughty child is bad parent. God loves us and He’d rather not see us mess

Just as there were good kings and bad kings, there were good prophets and bad prophets. Likewise, today, just as there are good leaders and bad leaders, there are good bible teachers and bad teachers and preachers who don’t teach the true Word of God. Here, God has messages for the bad kings of Judah.

American Christians really don’t know what “intense” Christian persecution is. We have it so easy! Sure, there are some government officials who try to shut churches down. Additionally, there are powerful entities who would love to shut us up. Nevertheless, we keep on keeping on with the missions God placed upon us. Visit Persecution.com (Voice

God is the Master Potter. Are you allowing Him to mold you into a vessel He can use? Or do you feel you’re dried out, cracked and useless? No problem. He uses broken things, also! No heart is too hard for Jesus! In these next 2 chapters, God uses the potter, clay and jars to

Only 2 of the Gospels cover the Christmas Story, Matthew and Luke. Mark starts his account of the Life of Jesus with His baptism. We’ll be doing the Gospel of Mark for Easter 2022. John, the Apostle, writes a totally different introduction to the Life of Jesus. I’ve covered it before here, but this year

Drought. Living in the Southwestern United States, you quickly learn to appreciate rain (and snow for the “high country”). Every living being needs water to survive. Yesterday, the National Drought Mitigation Center released the current U.S. Drought Map. (You can see it at the bottom of my blog.) It seems the summer monsoon helped Arizona

Imagine that! Jeremiah actually asked God the “Why” question. He was puzzled. How, if God was in control, WHY did He allow heartless, sinful, evil people to rule and prosper? It’s one of the questions of the ages. The cool thing is that God actually answers him — sort of. It’s a lesson we can

Surrender. The word conjures up images of an army surrendering to a more powerful opponent. It’s when you know, deep in your soul, that you can’t win no matter how hard you try. It’s when you give up. There’s no more fight in you. That’s exactly how God needs us to be if we want
