I Don’t Want To Listen

I Don’t Want To Listen

Hear me, my people, and I will warn you— if you would only listen to me, Israel! “But my people would not listen to me; Israel would not submit to me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own devices. “If my people would only listen to me, if Israel would only follow my ways, Psalm 81:8,11-13 –…

If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think someone deserves to be punished who has…

to all who are beloved of God in Rome, called as saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God, who will render to each person according to his deeds: to those who by perseverance in doing good seek for…

Veritas

Truth. It's hard to find these days if you are not focused on The Source.

[This revamped sparkythejesusfreak blog is dedicated to a wonderful, sweet lady, Nancy Moucha, from my former church, First Baptist of East Stroudsburg, PA. Years ago after I preached my once to twice-a-year sermon at our church, Nancy came up to me and essentially said, “Tim, you are easy to understand. Your message is clear. You should start a blog.” Well Nancy, today, April 29, 2022 is the…

"And I was afraid . . . "

“And I was afraid . . . “

In the parable of the talents in Matthew 25:14-30, three servants are given various amounts of money/possessions/”talents”. One receives five talents and doubles it. One receives two talents and doubles it. The third servant receives one talent and buries it in the ground. Two servants have a holy ambition to increase their master’s possessions. One servant has an unholy lack of ambition to…

Just like Israel

“But My people did not listen to Me; Israel did not obey Me. So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts to follow their own plans. If only My people would listen to Me and Israel would follow My ways, I would quickly subdue their enemies and turn My hand against their foes.” Psalm 81:11-14 – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Psalm%2081:11-14&version=HCSB Sometimes I’m just like…

Cry Out To God

Cry Out To God

God, hear my cry; pay attention to my prayer. I call to You from the ends of the earth when my heart is without strength. Lead me to a rock that is high above me, for You have been a refuge for me, a strong tower in the face of the enemy. I will live in Your tent forever and take refuge under the shelter of Your wings. Selah Psalm 61:1-4 –…

The State of the Human Race

The State of the Human Race

The fool says in his heart, “God does not exist.” They are corrupt, and they do vile deeds. There is no one who does good. God looks down from heaven on the human race to see if there is one who is wise, one who seeks God. All have turned away; all alike have become corrupt. There is no one who does good, not even one. Psalm 53:1-3 –…

Wealth

Do not be afraid when a man gets rich, when the wealth of his house increases. For when he dies, he will take nothing at all; his wealth will not follow him down. Though he praises himself during his lifetime— and people praise you when you do well for yourself — he will go to the generation of his fathers; they will never see the light. A man with valuable possessions but without understanding…

Rushing Around in Vain

Rushing Around in Vain

“Certainly, man walks about like a mere shadow. Indeed, they frantically rush around in vain, gathering possessions without knowing who will get them. Psalm 39:6 – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Psalm%2039:6&version=HCSB An apt commentary on the American way of life

Who Can Bear the Weight of Sin?

Who Can Bear the Weight of Sin?

There is no health in my body because of Your indignation; there is no strength in my bones because of my sin. For my sins have flooded over my head; they are a burden too heavy for me to bear. Psalm 38:3-4 – https://www.biblegateway.com/passage?search=Psalm%2038:3-4&version=HCSB So who can bear the weight of my sin? NO ONE BUT JESUS
