There is far too much speculation about the work of angels and their impact upon the earth. We need to be careful when we think about them and listen to what the Bible tells us about them. The book of Psalms clearly reveals much about their work. Look at the following description David gives about angels and then, without speculation, find comfort…

Mordecai told Esther that there was no way she could know for sure that she (a Jewish young lady) had become queen of the Persian Empire so that she could, by her actions on just one day of her life, change the history of the nation. He simply said, “Who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time…

The path which America has chosen is so much like that chosen by the Jews just before their cities were leveled and they were taken captive into Babylon. The imagery chosen by Jeremiah to describe why all this happened is so vivid. He described the path they had taken by comparing it to a traveler who decides which road he will take.…

Have you seen the commercial where a father and his son are together working in the garage and the son spontaneously says, “I love you, Dad”?

Those moments of “communion meditation” change who we…

One of the mistakes far too many make is forming opinions and often arriving at a final conclusion before we hear the complete story. Solomon said, “He who answers a matter before he hears it, it is folly and shame to him” (Prov. 18:13). Also remember that in defense of Jesus, Nicodemus said, “Does our judge a man before it hears him…
