1 Samuel 3:19 (New International Version) The LORD was with Samuel as he grew up, and he let none of his words fall to the ground. I love this expression “he let none of his words fall to the ground.” Samuel, through the power of God, had none of his words wasted or falling to […]

October 5th, 2008 · No Comments
Ezekiel 16:49 (New International Version) Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy. Overfed, ouch. One of the main health problems in America today, actually in all the industrial world, is obesity. I guess we qualify as […]

Bring in Your Idols
September 20th, 2008 · No Comments
Isaiah 41:22 (New International Version) Bring in your idols to tell us what is going to happen. What a wonderful challenge. Bring in those figures that you created.
