But this word of God came to Shemaiah the man of God: “Say to Rehoboam son of Solomon king of Judah, to the whole house of Judah and Benjamin, and to the rest of the people, ‘This is what the Lord says: Do not go up to fight against your brothers, the Israelites. Go home, every one of you, for this is my doing.’” So they obeyed the word of the Lord and went home again, as the Lord had ordered. (1Kings 12: 22-24 NIV) Memorial Day Happy Memorial Day!

Reason Together With Jesus- Give It A Try
“Come now, let us reason together,” says the Lord. “Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they are red as crimson, they shall be like wool. If you are willing and obedient, you will eat the best of the land; but if you resist and rebel, you will be devoured by the sword.” For the mouth of the Lord has spoken. (Isaiah 1:18-20 NIV) Reason with God Many times our conversation with God is one sided. Comments directed toward Him in anger, confusion, and disbelief leave silence on HIs end.

Rules for Righteous Living Are Good-Not Bad
Who is wise? He will realize these things. Who is discerning? He will understand them. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them.

The Word of the Lord came to me: “Son of man, if a country sins against me by being unfaithful and I stretch my hand against it to cut off its food supply and send famine upon it and kill its men and their animals, even if these three men-Noah, Daniel, and Job- were in it, they could save only themselves by their righteousness.” declares the Sovereign Lord. (Ezekiel 14:12-14 NIV) Division Dear friends, we face serious times. There is no joke with division in our country where clear lines are drawn. This is not about tolerance or acceptance. It […]
