Nostalgia; December 6, 2024
Isaiah 43:18 “Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past.” Recently I have read that nostalgia was long considered a very negative thing, but today we speak of “the good old days.” We have a song about it, Those … Continue reading

Fear; December 5. 2024
Isaiah 43:1 But now, this is what the Lord says— he who created you, Jacob, he who formed you, Israel:“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine.” I have long loved the musical setting of the end of this verse, … Continue reading

Prophets and Prophecy; December 1, 2024
Deuteronomy 18:22 If what a prophet proclaims in the name of the Lord does not take place or come true, that is a message the Lord has not spoken. That prophet has spoken presumptuously, so do not be alarmed. Verses 15 and 18 have long been considered … Continue reading

Preparation; November 18, 2024
Matthew 4:17 From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” Even Jesus had to be prepared for His ministry, and experiencing and resisting major temptation was a major part of that. There are … Continue reading

Discouragement; November 4, 2024
Isaiah 49:4 But I said, “I have labored in vain; I have spent my strength for nothing at all.Yet what is due me is in the Lord’s hand, and my reward is with my God.” Even Christ got discouraged! It is perhaps debatable whether … Continue reading
Humility; October 24, 2024
Ecclesiastes 11:5 As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb,so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things. Solomon was noted for his wisdom, but I think … Continue reading

God’s Sovereignty; October 12, 2024
Psalm 97:1 The Lord reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice. This Psalm, specifically verses 1, 3, 5, and 8, was set to music in the early days of the Charismatic Movement. Some of the other verses are echoed in other … Continue reading

Correction; October 11, 2024
Psalm 94:12 Blessed is the one you discipline, Lord, the one you teach from your law. In verse 1, the ESV calls God, “God of vengeance.” That kind of hit me in the face, but it agrees perfectly with the Japanese. We tend … Continue reading

Perspective; October 5, 2024
Psalm 56:3-4 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise—in God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? A particular turn of phrase in the Japanese catches my attention … Continue reading
