What To Do With The Word, Ps 119:9-16
In Ps 119 we find 22 sections identified by the 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Each section has 8 verses. All but three of the 176 verses in this Psalm contain a reference to the words of God. The three verses that don’t [90, 122, and 132] each contain a reference to Jesus Christ, […]
Hasty, Prov 21:5
In general, a person who is hasty is a person who does things too quickly and with too little thought. He can be rash [incautious], impetuous [rushing] or impulsive [acting on impulse]. Now, haste is not always a bad thing. When you have clear direction from the Lord on a matter, he doesn’t want you […]
Good Kids, Eph 6:1-3
Good kids are children who do what the Bible says. We know that the proportion of children who believe and obey the Bible today is much smaller than the proportion of kids who don’t. So it is becoming less and less likely, with each successive generation, that kids are going to grow up to be […]
Good Dads, Gen 18:19
In the prior broadcast we talked about good moms. Today we’ll discuss the characteristics of good dads. The objective of being a good dad is to rear godly children. There’s no guarantee that if you are a good dad all your children are going to turn out perfect. They have the freedom to choose. Nevertheless, […]
Good Moms, Prov 31:1
The Bible has much to say about good moms. If you will follow what the Bible says, you are not guaranteed that all of your children will turn out just right. But you have the best opportunity of rearing good children if you follow what God shows you in the Bible. Good moms teach – […]
Noah’s Walk, Work and Word, Gen 6:9
Noah walked with God, worked for God, and spoke the word of God. Likewise, we are to walk with the Lord, work for the Lord, and speak the word of the Lord in this world. That is what the Lord wants us to do. That’s what Noah did. The Lord said that the time of […]
Dissimulation, Jos 7:11
Dissimulation is hypocrisy. It comes from simulation. When you are in a flight simulator it looks and feels like you’re in a real jet but you aren’t. It’s fake. Likewise, when you live your life in dissimulation you are pretending to be something you aren’t. Notice the following: Dissimulation of a transgressor – Jos 7:11 […]
They Killed Each Other, 1 Sam 14:16
When Jonathan and his armor bearer attacked a garrison of the Philistines, they killed about 20 men [1 Sam 14:14]. But after that, a great multitude died when they killed each other. In battle, there are times when the fear is so high, the retreat so confused and the battle so disorganized, that many men […]
All The Day, Ps 71:8, 15
Three times in Psalm 71, David used the phrase “all the day.” In Ps 71:8 he wrote, “Let my mouth be filled with thy praise and with thy honour all the day.” In Ps 71:15 he wrote, “My mouth shall shew forth thy righteousness and thy salvation all the day; for I know not the […]
Salvation of Babies
What happens to babies if they die before they are old enough to be saved? They go to heaven! Many people have grown up in churches that baptize babies. They are fearful that if they don’t baptize their own babies, somehow, their children won’t end up in heaven if they die young. This just isn’t […]
