The Church; July 22, 2026


Isaiah 62:1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent,    for Jerusalem’s sake I will not remain quiet,till her vindication shines out like the dawn,    her salvation like a blazing torch. It is debatable whether this is the Lord speaking through Isaiah, or Isaiah … Continue reading

Jealousy; June 25, 2026


Numbers 12:2 “Has the Lord spoken only through Moses?” they asked. “Hasn’t he also spoken through us?” And the Lord heard this. Jealousy is a deep-seated human problem. It inspired the first recorded murder, when Cain killed Abel in Genesis 4. That, however, is no … Continue reading
