“Why go I mourning?” Psalm 42:9
Psalm 42 42 As the deer pants for the water brooks, So my soul pants for You, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God; When shall I come and appear before God? 3 My tears have been my food day and night, While they say to me all day long, “Where is your God?” 4 These things I remember and I pour out my soul within me. For I used to go along with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God, With the voice of joy and thanksgiving, a multitude …
Our Faithful Father
In times of helplessness, why does faith falter for some people but grows stronger for others? Our Faithful Father 2 Timothy 2:11-13 11 Faithful is the saying: For if we died with him, we shall also live with him: 12 if we endure, we shall also reign with him: if we shall deny him, he also will deny us: 13 if we are faithless, he abideth faithful; for he cannot deny himself. All of us experience times when our circumstances seem unbearable, prayers appear to go unanswered, and the Lord feels distant. When that happens, we may wonder if He …

Why did the Messiah have to die?
“By this will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Every priest stands daily ministering and offering time after time the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins; but He, having offered one sacrifice for sins for all time, sat down at the right hand of God, waiting from that time onward until His enemies be made a footstool for His feet. For by one offering He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified.” – Hebrews 10:10-14 This passage again points out how the high priest had to …

Ali Akbar Salehi says his country has enough nuclear material to reach its longtime goal of 190,000 centrifuges By AP and TOI STAFF/07/18/2018 The chief of Iran’s nuclear agency said on Wednesday that his country’s effort to acquire uranium has resulted in a stockpile of as much as 950 tons.

Salehi said that would be enough of the material for Iran …
Saved and Sure
God’s Word is true, and it assures us of our right standing with Him. Saved and Sure To help you understand the concept of “saved and sure,” here are three truths that indicate what the Lord wants for all people: 1. God wants everyone to be saved. He calls all men and women to Himself, but there must be a response to His invitation. When we answer His call to salvation, the Father makes us part of His everlasting family (Rom. 10:9-13). If we decide to reject the Lord, however, then we will eternally remain outside of His redemption plan …
Tough Spots
Tough Spots 1 Kings 17:5–7 5 So Elijah did as the Lord told him and camped beside Kerith Brook, east of the Jordan. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he drank from the brook. 7 But after a while the brook dried up, for there was no rainfall anywhere in the land. Elijah was in a tough spot. A life-threatening spot. The brook had dried up. Had God forgotten His faithful servant? Has God forgotten you? Has He left you all alone? The God who gives water can also withhold water. That’s His …
“He who sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision” (Psalm. 2:4)
“Nothing is more strengthening to faith, stabilizing to the mind, and tranquilizing to the heart of a Christian, than for him to be enabled to discern his Father’s hand guiding, shaping, and controlling everything which enters his life; and not only so, but that He is also governing this world, and all people and events in it. God is not shaken by the situation which now confronts our view, nor does the pride, arrogance, and blasphemy of His enemies occasion Him any uneasiness. To the contrary “He who sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in …
Revelation Message 33 – Mystery of the 7 Climatic Judgments
In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the Lord Jesus taking the earth back. And He cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion roareth: and when He had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.The Lord’s loud voice is similar to the roar of a lion. He is after all the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. (Gen 49:9) Scripture tells us of the Lord roaring out of Zion shaking the heavens and the earth (Joel 3:16) and the King is having a time of wrath roaring like a lion.(Proverbs 19:12; Hos 10:11; Amos 3:8) Seven thunders noise with understandable …

Who are the “Sons of God” in Genesis Chapter 6?
Part 6: The Fallen Angels Agenda Against Jesus Christ In Defense of the Faith Tuesday, July 17, 2018 Steve Schmutzer Two groups attended the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In the first dimension were the physical cast: the Roman soldiers who had crucified Jesus and were gambling for His clothes (John 19:23-24); the women and the lone disciple, John (John 19:25-27); the chief priests, scribes, and elders (Matt.27:41); and a multitude of gawkers and mockers from around the region (Matt. 27:39-40). We take this mixed crowd of mourners and malefactors for granted because we’ve heard this story before. But it’s the …
Certainty About Salvation
Understanding that God’s love is unconditional enables us to commit our heart and life to Him Certainty About Salvation 1 JOHN 5:13 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. One of the main reasons many Christians fail to serve God joyfully is their uncertainty about where they stand with Him. They don’t understand the basic nature of their relationship with the Lord and, as a result, hold back from dedicating themselves fully to His service. You probably have seen …
