One Flesh, Gen 2:24 – Jul 26, 2026
When you read Gen 2:24, “… they shall be one flesh”, it’s easy to surmise that God is referring to the physical relationship between a husband and wife.

The Lord Hath Heard, Ps 6:1-10 – Jul 15, 2026
The Lord Hath Heard In Psalm 6, David is being “attacked” by his enemies. They have worn him down so much that he is weak and vexed, v.2, weary, v.6, and grieved, v.7. He’s been groaning and crying profusely, v.6. Death and the grave have become present realities, v.5, as it appears he has no […]
Fickle Men, 2 Ki 9:11-13 – Jul 12, 2026
Fickle Men What causes men to be fickle? False Expectations. In 2 Ki 9:11-13 the captains of the host thought the man of God was a “mad fellow”. They thought what he said was “false”. But how quickly these fickle men changed their minds when they heard that he had anointed Jehu as king. Often, […]

A Citizen of Our Holy Nation, 1 Pet 2:9 – July 5, 2026
A Citizen of Our Holy Nation This weekend we saw lots of patriotism, fireworks and drone shows celebrating the 250th birthday of the USA. Despite it’s faults, it’s our country, and I’d rather be here. Would you say that a person who prays for those in authority is a good citizen of our country? We […]
