Jeremiah 8 begins where chapter 7 leaves off. God has announced judgment on his people, which is to be meted out through their defeat at the hands of a foreign army, which by the way was the Chaldeans. The Lord declares that the bones of the kings, officials and priests and prophets will be dug…

In chapter 7, God tells Jeremiah to tell the people of Judah several things. One is, “Change the way you live and act. Then I will let you live in this place.” And he tells them several things in particular that they should do. Then he lists His charges against them. And He says, “Then…

Only God would think of this monumentally improbable plan. Can you imagine giving a diamond ring to someone, with the ring wrapped in disgustingly filthy rags? I can’t either. If I was going to give a diamond ring to the lovely Lady LeeAnn, I would put it in a special little box and wrap the…

Let’s continue a thread we spoke about yesterday, shall we? How can we do that when we were in 1 and 2 Corinthians? Because this is God’s Word, He doesn’t change, and He is the divine author of Scripture. The manner in which He dealt with people in the OT was different, but His ultimate…

What do you do? Sure, you reboot the device. Often, that’s enough to set things right. Sometimes though, the problems don’t go…

So what’s the deal about the covering of the head and the hair length? This whole discussion seems pretty foreign to us, doesn’t it? In today’s American Protestant culture, we don’t make a big deal out of head coverings or hair length for either male or female, do we? Based on 1 Corinthians 11, are…

Do you agree with me that our world is in bad shape? Seems like things are bad and getting worse. I couldn’t help but think of our present condition when I was reading chapter 64. Isaiah, in verses 1 and 2 said: Why don’t you tear the sky open and come down? The mountains would…
