The nation was charged with having committed two evils which were figuratively described. First of all, they had forsaken Jehovah, "the fountain of living waters." Secondly, they had "hewed them out cisterns" which turned out to be "broken cisterns." Matthew Henry offered this comment - "But it may well be urged, to the reproach of Israel, that they, who were the only people that had no cause to c...

What about you? What does your relationship with Jesus look like today? Are you a linen girdle or a rotten, unwashed one? Have you - like so many - been deceived into thinking that God will still "wear" you - even though you are a rotten girdle? What does the Bible say? "Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you,...

So many are searching for true happiness and fulfillment. Others are trying to gain more and more of the wealth of this world. And yet others are looking for answers to the many predicaments of life. The questions you must ask yourself as a Christian are - "What am I searching for today? What occupies the greatest amount of my time? What is my main pursuit in life?"

"The Lord alone is the Judge as to whether a man's ways are as clean as the man himself adjudges them. He alone, as the 'God of the spirits of all flesh,' can judge the attitudes and intentions. Thus, many of men's ways, which appear right to them, are not so in His holy eyes." (Unger's Commentary On The Old Testament) "There is no more sobering reflection for us than the thought that our own live...

"Let us further illustrate by our lives these other words, 'Thine is the power,' let us endeavor to live practically in the faith that all power belongs to God. We are in a world of much confusion and difficulty, and we feel that we ourselves are weak and feeble; but surely our God is a God of power, powerful to preserve from evil, powerful to keep us from sin, powerful enough to give us peace in...

"It is an important thing to understand the times in which we live, and to know what those times require. Next to our Bibles and our own hearts our Lord would have us study our own times." (The Biblical Illustrator) The children of Issachar understood the natural times...the political times... public affairs...the temper of the nation...and the tendencies of present events. God would have you to b...

"The one idea that leaps up from this narrative is that which you often find through Scripture, that in the clay of defeat and disaster all God wants is one whole-hearted man. If the Lord can only get a beginning made, if He can, amidst all the disgraceful stampede and rout, get but one man to stop running, one to stop flying, one soul to cease from unbelief and panic and fear, and begin to trust...

"Who is he that says always, There is a lion in the way? Sluggard, thou must slay the lion, then; the way has to be traveled." (Thomas Carlyle) As a believer, what kind of "faith" do you have? Do you have a "sluggard faith" or an "active faith"? That will be determined by how you view the "difficulties" that stand in your way. Did you know that a "healthy church" "kills error, and tears in pieces...

"The Church sees her case bad, her enemies many and mighty, her friends few and feeble; and therefore she depends purely upon the strength of God's arm for her relief." (Matthew Henry) "In our spiritual warfare, our own hands are not sufficient for us, nor can we bring anything to pass unless God not only strengthen our arms, but be Himself our arm. If God leave us to ourselves any morning, we are...

"An increase in crimes of violence always follows when a nation does not acknowledge God and His Word as its ultimate authority." (Life In The Spirit Study Bible) "Where Divine revelation, and the faithful preaching of the sacred testimonies, are neither reverenced nor attended, the ruin of that land is at no great distance." (Adam Clarke) "What good can be expected when there is no knowledge of G...

"Of course, it is always easy to move with the current, to drift with the tide, to shout with the multitude. But ease is not the condition either of righteousness or of true progress. In the home, in society, in business, in the national life, and sometimes in the church, the multitude may be wrong. Then the soul must refuse to follow, must stand alone. To do so will bring strain and stress; but i...

"All things in heaven and earth are full of voices bearing witness for the living God. The whole universe, human history, governments, philosophy, science, art, and institutions are witnessing for God." (The Biblical Illustrator) God demands that you bear witness to Him. But only those who are in sympathy with Him and are living in accordance with His holy will are qualified. There are those who a...

"The most important question concerning a man is as to the state of his heart - his thoughts, affections, intentions. In the heart we find the true man. The outer life is but the clothing and may be the mask of the man. From the heart spring all the actions of life. The character of the fountain determines that of the stream." (The Pulpit Commentary) "How about your heart, is it right with God? Th...

"Many have lost the favourable presence of God and are not aware of it; they have provoked God to withdraw from them, but are not sensible of their loss, nor ever complain of it. Their souls languish and grow weak, their gifts wither, every thing goes cross with them; and yet they impute not this to the right cause: they are not aware that God has departed from them, nor are they in any care to re...

In this world, you will encounter the "snare of the fowler"..."noisome pestilence"..."terror by night"... "arrow that flieth by day"..."destruction that wasteth at noonday"...and "valley of the shadow of death," yet you need never fear. How is that possible? In every experience of life, God offers you His keeping power. You have the guarantee of His power. He is making it available to you and oper...

In the olden days, a czar in Russia, was crazy enough to build a great palace upon the ice-blocks of the Neva River. When the spring came, and the foundations melted, the palace sank beneath the river. You may roll your eyes at this story, but you need to ask yourself - "Am I, like the Russian czar, building parts of my Christian life upon 'ice-blocks' not realizing that drastic 'changes' are comi...

"The text requires that having taken the field, we keep it. We may not retire to the ranks of those who refuse to fight; we must stand...We may be weak; but must stand. We may be weary; but must stand. We may be fearful; but must stand. We may be defeated in some single fight; but must stand. We may see others fall about us; but must stand. Many may desert our cause; but we must stand... Consterna...

This is a true and timely "word" from God for the Body of Christ. I was going an entirely different direction in preparing for this broadcast when the Lord "dropped" this "word" into my spirit. He then gave me the title for it. It is a strong but necessary message for all believers. I ask you to prepare your heart, humble yourself under God's mighty hand, and allow the Holy Spirit to shine His "sp...

"It is a good maxim with which to go into a world of danger; a good maxim to go to sea with; a good maxim in a storm; a good maxim when in danger on the land; a good maxim when we are sick; a good maxim when we think of death and the judgment - What time I am afraid - I will trust in Thee." (Albert Barnes) There is a cry going forth in the world today. It is a "cry" coming from the hearts of manki...

Are we living in "a day of trouble" as the Bible calls it? Look around at the world today. Look at what is happening in America. We see major corruption going on in the elections as the Globalists are working behind the scenes to bring us closer to the New World Order. President Obama continues to stealthily slip in thousands (1,000s) of Syrian refugees (Many of them could possibly be Muslim terro...

"We shall find, when we reach the end of life, that all which God has done, however dark and mysterious it may have appeared at the time, was so connected with our good as to make it a proper subject of praise and thanksgiving." (Barnes' Notes) How important is it that you "forget not His benefits"? Romans 1:21 offers the answer - "Because that, when they knew God, they glorified Him not as God, n...

"So with all. In our backslidings, our afflictions, and our troubles, our only hope is that God will bring us back to Himself; our proper place is at the throne of mercy; our pleadings should be urgent, earnest, and constant, that He will interpose and have mercy on us; our solemn purpose - our expressed and recorded pledge - should be that if we are restored to God, we will wander no more." (Barn...

"...when we see the wicked indulging themselves in their lusts, and when, in consequence, doubts steal into our minds as to whether God takes any care of us, we should learn to satisfy ourselves with the consideration that God, Who hates and abhors all iniquity, will not permit them to pass unpunished, and although He bear with them for a time, He will at length ascend into the judgment seat, and...

"'Drifting' is the thing to be afraid of. Just as some boat, not made fast to the bank, certainly glides down stream so quietly and with so little friction that her passengers do not know that they are moving until they come up on deck, and see new fields around them, so the 'things which we have heard,' and to which we ought to be moored or anchored, we shall drift, drift, drift, drift away from,...

Is it possible to get to a place in your walk with the Lord where you are not disturbed by fear...you are not moved by your circumstances...and you live quietly above the storms? Jesus said in John 14:27 - "...Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." But how many are experiencing this? Is it even possible - with all that is going on in the world today? In this broadcast, I want t...
