Wisdom from Above

A Revelation Demands A Response. God has revealed Himself in the world He created and in the Word He communicated. Psalm 19 speaks about these two forms of revelation. One of my professors, Dr Toussaint used to say, "If God speaks there is nothing more important that to listen to what He has to say." All God has spoken... in the sky and in the Scripture. Join me as we dig into this fasci...

Some say Biblical faith is too impersonal... it is trying to believe in a distant force that you can't see or hear or touch. It’s all high ceilings, stained glass, wood pews, and cold facts. Some say Biblical faith is too impractical... it’s some kind of crazy leap into the dark. It doesn't speak to life where the rubber meets the road. It’s all pie in the sky in the sweet bye and bye. Som...

David faced misunderstanding, jealousy, and shattered hopes. David faced rebellion, heartache, and broken dreams. David faced cruelty, injustice and physical attacks. In a time like this, David took pen in hand and composed Psalm 13. This Psalm gives us insight and help for how to respond in times of trial and days of discouragement. If you are anything like me, you will see yourself in this psalm...

Psalm 8 is a fabulous Psalm that highlights the majesty and glory of God. It reminds us that God is the Creator of the universe.

If you are anything like me, you will find yourself singing and praising God before we finish this...

We all have times when we feel like the life God wants us to have is being ripped away from us by unkind people or unfortunate circumstances. Our world is being manipulated and deceived and pushed to the brink. Diseases are being manufactured in labs. Corruption is being covered up. Speech is being censored. Science is being perverted. Pornography is being pushed on our children. Sexual immorality...

Many have no rest in the midst of troubles. Many have no refuge in the midst of troubles. Many have no joy in the midst of troubles. In Psalm 4, David reveals the keys to joy in the midst of troubles. Join me for this episode of Wisdom from Above to discover how to experience joy in the midst of troubles.

Every one of us faces battles in our everyday life. Your battles may be with your finances, they may be with your parents, they may be with your marriage partner, they may be with your children. Your battles may be at your school, at your work, or at your social gatherings. Your battles may be with friends who have betrayed you or enemies who want to destroy you. Your battles may be with Marxist p...

Think of the foolishness of the clay pot trying to get rid of the potter. That is what we are seeing in our world today. The creature (man) trying to get rid of the Creator (God). Global elitists, Hollywood leftists, liberal professors, and left-wing media all seem to be trying to censor and forbid any mention of God, any prayer to God, and any reference to His commands. They reject the idea of Bi...

What is the Great White Throne judgment? Who is the Judge at the Great White Throne? Who is judged at the Great white Throne? What is the Lake of Fire? Would a loving God send anyone to Hell?

Isaac Watts tries to capture the breadth and length of Christ’s reign with these words: Jesus shall reign where’er the sun... Does its successive journeys run, His kingdom spread from shore to shore,  Till moon shall wax and wane no more! George Frederick Handel picked up on the joy of Christ reign with these words: Hallelujah! For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth, and He shall reign forever and e...

The book of Revelation focuses on the second Coming of Christ! The prophetic section of Revelation reveals the outpouring of God’s wrath in the seven years of Tribulation. Some of you are wondering why a loving God would pour out His wrath upon the earth and upon mankind? This is a hard pill to swallow. How can we reconcile a God who is love with a God who pours out wrath? That is a very legitimat...

There is a last call to salvation as the gospel is proclaimed once again. Then we see a vivid description of the Battle of Armageddon pictured as a ha...
