Psalm 111:1-10 Trusting in the Goodness of God

Last updated on: October 13, 2013 at 3:35 am By Jim Erwin

In Who Needs God, Harold Kushner writes: The next time you go to the zoo, notice where the lines are longest and people take the most time in front of the cage. We tend to walk briskly past the deer and the antelope, with only a passing glance at their graceful beauty. If we have children, we may pause to enjoy the antics of the seals and the monkeys. But we find ourselves irresistibly drawn to the lions, the tigers,... Read more

Psalm 112:1-10 How to Receive the Best from God

Last updated on: October 13, 2013 at 3:27 am By Jim Erwin

Psalm 112:1-10 How to Receive the Best from God Why serve God? I have often been asked this question. Since the 1960s, there has been an abandonment of Christian values and traditional morality in this country. Many seek abortions (over one million each year) to dispense with unwanted pregnancies. They claim the right to their own bodies, never suspecting that their unborn children have rights too, regardless of how they were conceived. That abortion is murder is denied by most.... Read more

Matthew 9:9-13 Telling People About Jesus

Last updated on: October 6, 2013 at 3:22 am By Jim Erwin

Matthew 9:9-13 Telling People About Jesus This story is the very heart of My Hope with Billy Graham. Matthew invited family, friends, and neighbors to his house for a meal and to learn about Jesus. We can do the same thing today to introduce people to Jesus. Barriers to telling people about Jesus that Matthew overcame. Sometimes Christians fearfully think: Some people are too sinful for God to forgive. People are not interested in the Gospel of Christ and will... Read more

A New Years Resolution to Enjoy God

Last updated on: October 3, 2013 at 9:18 pm By Jim Erwin

“The Lord spoke to Moses: “Tell the Israelites: In the seventh month, on the first day of the month, you are to have a day of complete rest, commemoration, and joyful shouting —a sacred assembly. You must not do any daily work, but you must present a fire offering to the Lord.” (Leviticus 23:23–25, HCSB) The Day of Atonement, also known as Yom Kippur, is a time to reflect on the wrong someone has done in the past year,...

The Ten Commandments of Sexual Purity

Last updated on: October 3, 2013 at 8:06 pm By Jim Erwin

The Ten Commandments of Sexual Purity Leviticus 18:1-30 Perhaps one has heard of the Ten Commandments. The commandments from Exodus 20 help a person live right morally in society. Of course the Ten Commandments are a minimum, and nobody can fulfill them without Christ. If Exodus 20 are the Ten Commandments about how to relate to God and society, then Leviticus 18 are the Ten Commandments of Sexual Purity. These commandments address every sexual sin category that happen. God’s design... Read more

Spiritual Disobedience Has Environmental Consequences

Last updated on: June 14, 2018 at 3:13 pm By Jim Erwin

Spiritual Disobedience Has Environmental Consequences Spiritual Disobedience Has Environmental Consequences is a simple thought reflection on how our sins can cause environmental problems. October 2, 2013 “Cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.” (Hosea 4:2, HCSB) Cursing, lying, murder, stealing, and adultery – five of the ten commandments – are being broken. Violence is the norm. God says here that Israeli society (in particular the Northern Kingdom) have violated God’s covenant by how... Read more

Jude 1:17-25 How to Build Unity in the Church

Last updated on: May 29, 2018 at 7:14 pm By Jim Erwin

Jude 1:17-25 How to Build Unity in the Church The Reminder (1:17-18) “But you, dear friends, remember what was predicted by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ. They told you, “In the end time there will be scoffers living according to their own ungodly desires.”” (Jude 17–18, CSB) Scoffers are in the fellowship. They follow their own desire. They follow mere fleshly instincts. They are not filled with the Holy Spirit. These same scoffers divide the church by their actions. CONTRASTS OF... Read more
