Defeating the Midianites in Your Life
We all have our own Midianites to face. By studying Gideon's strategy we can learn how we too can defeat the Midianites.
Exalting Not Ourselves
The haughty will be humbled by God. The humble will be honoured by God. As Christians, we are to humble ourselves before the Lord so that He may exalt us in His timing.
The Five Major Offerings
The Levitical sacrificial system had five separate and distinct offerings that could be made to the Lord. These are the five major offerings that are introduced in the first five chapters of Leviticus. Each of these offerings provide a practical application for a godly walk and a beautiful picture of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Failures in Fellowship
Historically, the word fellow means to lay money; as to lay money down. A fellow was one who financially supported a business deal with someone else; a business partner. Fellowship then is to be united together in covenant for a common purpose.
The Field of Inheritance
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.
The Fifth Month
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.
Finding Assurance of Salvation
Are you saved? How can you know that you are saved? God wants you to know for sure.
A Firebrand Plucked Out of the Burning
God is certainly a God of mercy and love. But He is also a God of judgment. Are you pushing the limits with God? Are you heading for judgment?
Following Jesus
We sing songs about following Jesus. We read Bible verses about following Jesus. But what does it mean to follow Jesus in our daily lives?
For That Thy Name is Near
God wants to assure you, He is near and has never left you alone.
