It says, "And He will stretch out His hand against the north, and destroy Assyria; and will make Nineveh a desolation, and dry like a …
Content with God’s Placement
We should be content with where God has put us in the body of Christ. And we should be content with where He has put us in life. Contentment with our placement in these two areas is very important, and is godly. It is the mark of a mature and growing Christian, who does "all …

Doomed Construction
For those of us who are Christians, we are sojourning in a strange land. That land is this world. It is good for us to keep in mind that this world is not our home. Just as the saints of old, "desire[d] a better country, that is, an heavenly," [Heb 11:16] so we do as …
Sojourning in Sin
We should not be sojourning in a place which is destined for judgment. The Psalms say, "Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, that I dwell in the tents of Kedar!" Kedar is a place whereupon The LORD pronounced judgment. He said, Within a year, according to the years of an hireling, and all …
