Faith; December 13, 2025


Jeremiah 33:14  “‘The days are coming,’ declares the Lord, ‘when I will fulfill the good promise I made to the people of Israel and Judah.’” By this point, I would imagine that even Jeremiah was tired of hearing wonderful promises from God, … Continue reading

God’s Promises; November 29, 2025


Isaiah 11:1 A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse;    from his roots a Branch will bear fruit. Few things look as desolate as a stump, so the image here is pretty graphic. By the 1st Century, the general populace wasn’t even … Continue reading

God’s Faithfulness; July 8, 2025


Psalm 105:43 He brought out his people with rejoicing,    his chosen ones with shouts of joy. I learned a musical setting for the passage that includes this verse around 45 years ago, and I can’t read it without that song running … Continue reading

Time and Eternity; April 18, 2025


John 19:30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit. Just this year I learned, for the first time, that after the Passover lamb was sacrificed in the … Continue reading
