Nahum 1:1-7 Giving Comfort

Last updated on: October 20, 2014 at 5:35 pm By Jim Erwin

Nahum 1:1-7 Giving Comfort “The oracle concerning Nineveh. The book of the vision of Nahum the Elkoshite.” (Nahum 1:1, HCSB) The chapter opens by describing an oracle to a city and nation. Nahum – whose name means God’s comfort, is given a vision. He is given a picture of God’s comfort. Although we may look at these verses and think they are not comforting, I assure you God is a comforting God. When we look our situation, we think about... Read more

Hosea 1:1-2:1 How God Reveals His Purpose Through Prayer

Last updated on: October 15, 2014 at 2:06 pm By Jim Erwin

Hosea 1:1-2:1 How God Reveals His Purpose Through Prayer God is a working God. God reveals His work through prayer. If you want to know what God is going to do, then you have to learn to listen. God first reveals His purpose for our personal lives. When the LORD first spoke to Hosea, He said this to him: Go and marry a promiscuous wife and have children of promiscuity, for the whole land has been promiscuous by abandoning the... Read more

Fear Him, Not Them

Last updated on: October 10, 2014 at 10:08 am By Jim Erwin

“Don’t fear those who kill the body but are not able to kill the soul; rather, fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.” (Matthew 10:28, HCSB) At one time or another, everyone thinks about death. When death comes to the mind, fear usually follows. When people ask: “What happens when I die?” the question brings with it the fear of an answer that life just ends. Sometimes we may think about the way death... Read more

Night Work

Last updated on: October 7, 2014 at 8:27 pm By Jim Erwin

After receiving the piece of bread, he went out immediately. And it was night. (John 13:30, HCSB) John’s Gospel makes the clear contrast between the work of the Light and the work of the Darkness. Jesus has just identified His betrayer and allowed him to do his work. The writer of John’s Gospel wants to clearly show the contrast between God’s work and Satan’s work. Judas exits the scene into the night. The scene amplifies the impact of the dark... Read more

Zombie King

Last updated on: October 6, 2014 at 4:21 pm By Jim Erwin

“’Don’t be afraid! I am the First and the Last, and the Living One. I was dead, but look—I am alive forever and ever, and I hold the keys of death and Hades.'” (Revelation 1:17-18, HCSB) From David Jeremiah‘s book Agents of the Apocalypse: “…Even if there was a God, do you really think He would yank a zombie from a tomb and make him king?…” This scene is set in the future, before Jesus Christ returns as King of...

Wearing Masks

Last updated on: October 3, 2014 at 10:07 pm By Jim Erwin

“So whenever you give to the poor, don’t sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be applauded by people. I assure you: They’ve got their reward!” (Matthew 6:2, HCSB) “Whenever you pray, you must not be like the hypocrites, because they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by people.

Serpentine Logic

Last updated on: October 2, 2014 at 8:57 pm By Jim Erwin

Now the serpent was the most cunning of all the wild animals that the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You can’t eat from any tree in the garden’?” (Genesis 3:1, HCSB) Many people think that Satan comes in a red suit with a pitchfork. Unfortunately, the devil is much smarter and better disguised. In this passage, Satan spoke through a serpent. Others have elaborated more on this point, so I won’t repeat... Read more

The Spirit World

Last updated on: October 1, 2014 at 3:14 pm By Jim Erwin

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1, HCSB) People may think of the spirit world as being full of ghouls, goblins, vampires, zombies, demons, and angels. The spirit world is more than just the place of the dead – much more. The physical world is temporal, the spiritual is eternal. The physical world is made of the known senses. The spiritual world is made of things we cannot sense. There is a spiritual heaven and... Read more
