Right after Israel was delivered out of Pharaoh's hands Moses and the children of Israel sang a song to The LORD. "Then sang Moses and the children of Israel this song unto the LORD, and spake, saying, I will sing unto the LORD, for he hath triumphed gloriously: the horse and his rider hath he …

Productive Hearing
When we hear God's word, we must be careful to hear it correctly. There is a possibility of listening or reading God's word and it not bearing fruit in our lives because we listened to it or read it incorrectly. Look at two passages from Ezekiel and Hebrews, which shows us the importance of welcoming …
Seven Times Brighter
In the Millennium, when Jesus Christ reigns literally on earth from David's throne in New Jerusalem, the sun will be seven times brighter! It is already extremely bright; and probably the brightest thing we experience on this earth, but God says in Isaiah, "Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of …
The Wisdom of Returning
There is a proverb which makes me think of the parable of the lost son in Luke 15 who took his father's inheritance, wasted it, and then in wisdom, returned to his father. The Proverb reads, "Whoso loveth wisdom rejoiceth his father: but he that kept company with harlots spendeth his substance." [Prov 29:3] And …
Anointed With Joy
Jesus lived a perfect life. That much is obvious. Every command of God Jesus kept perfectly every second He was on earth. And He did this through the power of The Holy Spirit. Jesus Himself testified, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me" as it was prophesied in Isaiah 61:1. The Father told us …

As described from several Psalms, The LORD "brought streams out of the rock," He "caused waters to run down like rivers" from it; "He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places like …
Fearing His Goodness
The Fear of The LORD is one of the most important qualities we can have. Those who do not fear God are most likely not truly Christian. For "the fear of The LORD is to hate evil..." and "the fear of The LORD is a fountain of life, to depart from the snares of death." …
Refusing to be Bound
Sunday, we saw how giving into sin gives us false comfort. Today, let's look at another part of Samson's life, which can give us more insight into our daily battle with sin. Notice in the following verses the actions of Samson's fellow Israelites: "Then the philistines said, who hath done this? And they answered Samson, …
False Comfort
The book of Judges is one of my favorite books; there are so many awesome accounts of the past - battles, great acts of faith, lessons from God. One of the most memorable characters from Judges is Samson. Let's look at just a few verses from his life and learn from them. Samson was a …
