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 …

Breaking Sin Into Pieces
There is a passage which speaks of the millennium, when Jesus Christ will rule upon earth, upon David's throne for a thousand years. But I think we can also take it and apply it spiritually to ourselves right now. It is found in the Psalms. "The mountains shall bring peace to the people, and the …

Boundaries on the Waters
The Father sets boundaries on our trials and afflictions. He graciously and mercifully does this. David says to God of the waters, "Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth" [Psa 104:9] And The LORD also promises, "When thou passest through the waters, …
