We were once bombarded with the images of the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The disciples asked Jesus about similar tragedies in His day. Will you wait until it is too late?

As believers, we have an amazing inheritance. In this story the Lord commands Jeremiah to buy a field from his uncle in his hometown of Anathoth. Jeremiah is unlikely to get any benefit from the field, but he is to buy it anyway. God uses this event to promise future restoration of Israel. Fields will again be bought and sold in the land. This is a message of hope and promise in a time of destruction.

Ab is the Jewish name for the fifth month in the religious calendar and the eleventh month of the civil calendar. This non-biblical name began to be used during the Babylonian captivity. The Bible simply calls this month the “fifth month.” This designation is found ten times in the Bible. The month of Ab begins with the new moon of August and always has thirty days. Agriculturally, the month of Ab is known in Israel as the time for the ripening of grapes, figs, and olives.

The Christian life is pictured in the Bible as a race to run; a course to finish. The Apostle Paul was determined to finish his course with joy and the ministry which he had received of the Lord (Acts 20:24). Shortly before his death, he could give this testimony: “I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith” (2Timothy 4:7). Notice, he had finished his course.

Jesus has invited every soul to come to Him for rest (Matthew 11:28-20). This cancels all previous engagements. Won’t you accept His offer today?

Many today are stopping short on the gospel. The Catholics and many others have a crucified "Jesus" (another Jesus) laying around. The problem is that even some Independent Baptists are heading the same direction. What does the Bible say about the Gospel?

The gospel of Jesus Christ is His death, burial and resurrection according to the scriptures. This is often viewed as just the starting point for the Christian life. In truth, it is central to our life in Christ after salvation as well.

God's people had sinned and He sent fiery serpents among them which bit them. However, God also gave a way of escape to those who would look and live.

The birth of Christ was the beginning of God's great plan for redemption through His Son Jesus Christ.

Can a preacher direct non-believers to pray a prayer or follow his prayer of repentance and this lead to their salvation?
