He ruled for thirty-one years in Jerusalem.  His mother’s name was Jedidiah daughter of Adaiah; she was from Bozkath.  He lived the way God wanted.  He kept straight on the path blazed by his ancestor David, not one step to either left or right.  One day in the eighteenth year of his kingship, King Josiah sent the royal secretary Shaphan...

“So let’s do it—full of belief, confident that we’re presentable inside and out.  Let’s keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going.  He always keeps his word.  Let’s see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:24-25 MSG)...

“You must learn the difference between what is holy and what isn't holy and between the clean and the unclean.” (Leviticus 10:10 Contemporary English Version) The title for this Sunday morning’s meditation was essentially to entice you.  I have no T-shirts for sell.  I only have a short message to share, one that I asked participants in our church’s Bible Study classes to jot...

“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105) One of the founding members of our church who has gone home to be with the Lord used to emphasize a stated point by using the word “buddy!”  For example, as a co-worker, when I told her about the church that I was being charged to plant on the westside of town, she said, “I’ll be there, and I will be...

“If you listen obediently to the Voice of God, your God, and heartily obey all his commandments that I command you today, God, your God, will place you on high, high above all the nations of the world.  All these blessings will come down on you and spread out beyond you because you have responded to the Voice of God, your God: God’s blessing inside the city, God’s blessing in the country;...
