What God Committed to Us, 2 Cor 5:18-21
In the Bible, the word “commit” is used in two principle ways. It either means to do or perpetrate something, like commit adultery, commit iniquity, commit sin, or it means to give in trust, to put into the hands or power of another. This is the way it is first used in Gen 39, for […]
Ministry of a Prophet, Ezek 3:4-14
The ministry of a prophet is unique. He’s certainly not a pastor. He’s not trying to shepherd a flock of people and establish a local ministry where he is sent. He preaches God’s words and often what he has to say is very negative. In Ezek 3:4-14, we see some aspects of Ezekiel’s ministry. He’s […]

They Soon Forgat His Works, Ps 106:12-13

Thou Art But a Youth, 1 Sam 17:32-37
In 1 Sam 17, David was just a youth when he defeated Goliath [1 Sam 17:33]. But in his youth he was already aware of the Lord’s work in his life. He said, “the Lord… delivered me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of the bear,” [1 Sam 17:37]. […]
The Work of God’s Words, Ps 19:1-14
