In Isaiah’s day, the people had started to treat the worship of God in a very casual way. But God does not want rote “worship,” rather, He wants our whole heart.
It is amazing to think that when a sinner repents, heaven rejoices. Oh, how that should cause us to rejoice here on earth as well!
What does the Word of God do? It both convicts us and strengthens us to follow the Lord with joy.
One of the greatest problems with the natural man is that his heart is like a stone toward God. But, thankfully, Jesus is able to take out our hearts of stone and give us hearts of flesh through the Holy Spirit!
The Scriptures need to be in our hands and in our hearts continuously. If they aren’t, it doesn’t take long for us to fall off the path.
King Josiah sought the LORD from a young age. He is an example for us and for our children.
Where should we start when we want to evangelize someone? Jesus began with the knowledge of God.
There are many attributes of God which are revealed to us in the Bible. The Bible says “God is love” but it does not say “God is anger.” Anger does not come naturally to Him. It must be provoked.
Elijah's prayer brought the fire of God onto the sacrifice and not on the people. This points to the cross where God's judgment was poured out on Jesus, who became the ultimate sacrifice for us.
The claim of the Bible is that God’s Word is true. We can stand on that claim because Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.
The kingdom of Heaven will not be like the earthly tabernacle where the presence of God came and went; instead it will be a place where God and men are together forever.
In the Old Testament, the tabernacle, and then later the temple, was where God met with men. But now, that “meeting place” is a Person—the Lord Jesus Christ.
The stones that built the temple in Jerusalem point to believers who are called “living stones.” And God is building His people up for an eternal inheritance.
How we respond when someone calls us out for our sin reveals whether or not our heart is in the right place with God.
In former times, God spoke in a variety of ways and through many different means, but once Jesus came, God spoke to us through His Son. And Jesus has given us everything we need.
The authors of Scripture did not make things up as they went. Rather, they were “carried along by the Spirit” to write the Bible. That fact differentiates the Scriptures from every other book.
The world tells us to find our self-esteem, but as Christians, we find our worth in Christ and what He has done. We can lift our heads with Christ-esteem!
Kingdoms rise and kingdoms fall, but God’s kingdom and God’s throne shall stand forever!
Sometimes men think they are going to do something great for God, but God has other plans. When that happens, what is your attitude? If it is bad, were you doing it for God or for yourself?
In the Bible we see that human kings fail all the time. But Jesus is a king you can put your trust in because He always rules with truth, righteousness, and grace.
