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, […]
Lies of the Rulers, Ps 55:21 – Oct 4, 2026
Lies of the Rulers Ps 55:21 says, “The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they drawn swords”. What he is saying so eloquently is, in fact, the opposite of what he intends. He’s softening you up for the kill. […]
A Good Finish, 2 Tim 4:7-11 – Oct 4, 2026
I was talking with Pastor Keck this week. He asked about a mutual friend who is a pastor. I told him that this fellow quit. He left the pulpit and went back to work in his former industry. Pastor Keck said, “A good start is not a good finish. You gotta tough it out through […]
From Seth to Noah, Gen 4:25-5:32 – Oct 4, 2026
Birth of Seth, 4:25-26, 5:3 Seth was born after Cain killed Abel. He was given the name Seth, which means appointed, because Eve said, “For God hath appointed me another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew”. Notice that though God created man “in the likeness of God”, Gen 5:1, Seth was born in Adam’s […]
The Righteous, Prov 10:25
The Bible has lots to say about the righteous and the wicked. In Proverbs, there are numerous references to these two and they are often contrasted. There are two interesting pictures of the righteous in Proverbs that we want to preach on today. In one of them the righteous are compared to a house and […]
God Gives You Up, Ps 81:12
One of the most tragic statements in the Bible is, God gave them up. When God gives you up to something and leaves you alone to go after it, you are well nigh hopeless, at that point. Notice the progression of your downfall when God gives you up: God gives you up to your own […]
They Forgat God, Ps 106:21 – Sep 30, 2026
Ps 106:21 “They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt”. This was the condition of Israel throughout their wilderness journey. God did wondrous works to get them out of Egypt. But they understood not, v.7; they soon forgat his works, v.13; they despised the pleasant land (Canaan), v.24; they joined themselves […]
Women Rule Over Them, Is 3:12
Our text today is Is 3:12, which says, “As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.” Over many years in the ministry, we have observed this verse in the homes of some […]
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 […]
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 […]
