How real is our individual faiths? Are there any superficial decorations upon our faith? There is a passage in Zephaniah, speaking of the judgment of Nineveh, which speaks of this. 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 …

A Poor Deliverer
During The Day of The LORD, no amount of wealth will be able to help. No one will have a store of food large enough, a shelter deep enough, wealth vast enough. In fact, God says that money will do absolutely no good in the Day, "when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth." [Isa …
He Is Coming Again

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 …
Avoiding The Desolator
There is a warning given to Nineveh by God over one hundred years after the city repented at Jonah’s prophetic warning of judgment. It is found in Nahum, and reads as follows, “The Disperser/Desolator is come up before thy face: keep the fortified city/bulwarks, watch the way, make thy loins strong, fortify thy power mightily.” …
Avoid the World’s Hire
When trouble comes, to our lives or to our nation, what we have hired out of the world isn't going to help us. Everything that we have bought or put effort into in an attempt to remain safe, healthy, happy, wealthy, etc… those things will be like, as The LORD points out through Jeremiah, "bullocks …
Drawing Near

The Ark of Heaven'sdoors creak with forebode;the reddening sky swells.Look! the Right Hand of Almighty Jahlooms on …
Ready For Him
One of the things that will be prevelant in the coming days before Jesus returns, will be the mockery of His return. Peter tells us that there will be "scoffers" in the last days, "walking after their own lusts, and saying, where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all …
Refuge Under The Skirt of Christ
The true story of Ruth and Boaz is a great picture of Jesus and His bride, the Church. One of the most important lessons I think we can learn from it is our great need to come under the "skirt" of Jesus. Just like Ruth did with Boaz, we must do the same with Jesus. …
Redeemed Through Judgment
Jesus redeems us by God's judgement on him. The cup which Jesus drank, praying, "let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt" was the very wrath of God we deserved for our sins. Our offences against a holy God were cast upon His Son, "whom God hath set …
