When The Governor Comes Before God, Things Get Out Of Sorts Quickly

The World Is Watching. Walk Wisely.

What do Amos and Paul's second letter to the Corinthians have in common?  One thing for sure: it matters how we live as people of faith.  The world is watching to see if what Scripture says about following Christ is true, not so much by what we say but in how we live out our faith each day.

Pushing Back Against Evil

Sometimes when working for the good of His creation, His righteousness requires His standing against evil in the world and actively working against it.  That answers the question of whether or not God cares about the evil we see going on in the world today and if He is at work in our human experience to effect His good will in spite of that evil.  Nahum shows us how.

When I Fall, I Shall Rise

Cancel Culture is nothing new.  Micah shows us the ways to remain faithful when the world around us makes following Jesus not just difficult but dangerous.

When The Governor Comes Before God, Things Get Out Of Sorts Quickly

Malachi had some strong things to say to the religious leadership of his day that is still a good word to our own day.  Giving our best to the world around us because we seek political influence, popularity, and preference while giving our worst to God leads us down the wrong road every time as Believers.  Having the right priorities, even in a difficult and uncertain time, is paramount.

Seeing Jesus In The Old Testament In Zechariah

One of the most amazing and powerful moments in the Old Testament that fixes our eyes on the redemptive work of Jesus is found in a collection of visions given to the Minor Prophet Zechariah.  God's people then needed to hear that God could redeem all of the bad things that had happened before and take all of their shame and brokenness because of the pursuit of sin and restore them to Him again through His mercy and grace.  We need to hear that today, too.  Zechariah points us straight to the cross of Jesus.
