Jesus Is the Everlasting Father

The title of this article may throw you off a bit.  In fact, you may read the title and believe that error is being espoused.  How could Jesus be said to be the “Father”?  “That’s just not right,” someone might say. The title “Everlasting Father” is from Scripture.  It is found one time in Isaiah 9:6.  In that text, the Messianic prophet…

Who Is Like You, O Lord?

After the defeat of Pharaoh’s army in Exodus 15, Moses and the children of Israel sang to praise the Lord for His unchallenged victory. We call this chapter The Song of Moses. In verses 1 through 10, they sang of the defeat of the Egyptians in the Red Sea. Then, from verses 14 through 18, they sang confidently of the Lord’s future…

Life Is a Marathon, Not a Sprint

For the past two weeks, our world has been focused on the Olympics. The longest race in these contests, the marathon, is based both in name and distance of an event which occurred in 490 B.C. The New Testament world had such events, and it often mentions them in connection with the race in which every Christian participates. We must remember that…

The prophet Isaiah got a glimpse of Jesus as the promised Messiah, and…

How Do I Know You Know What You Say You Know?

There seems to be a growing number of “progressive Christian pastors” on social media these days claiming that they have discovered the true meanings of controversial Bible passages. These so-called theologians allege that long held church teachings concerning homosexuality and other practices are based on false interpretations of Scripture. Of course, we can easily show in Scripture that there is zero basis…

Joshua, Moses’ Vital Assistant

One of the truly remarkable and great servants of God in the Old Testament is Joshua. The important role he played in God fulfilling His purpose is sometimes overlooked. Had he not accomplished the work he did, the history of Israel would have been so different. We must never overlook how just how vital He was in accomplishing God’s plan. Joshua is…

Jesus Is the Wonderful Counselor

The great Messianic prophet Isaiah gives us so many beautiful pictures of Jesus Christ.  The prophet himself had to stand in wonder at the things which he wrote, not even fully understanding them himself (cf. 1 Pet. 1:10-12).  There were some days of despair and gloom in front of Judah, as not only was Assyria going to capture the northern kingdom, but…
