Lessons From a Genealogy (Ruth 4:18-22)

By listing someone’s descendants in writing, it indicates an ongoing developing story which has happened, and continues to develop up to the present time, and even into the future.

Now these are the descendants of Perez: Perez became the father of Hezron, Hezron of Ram, Ram of Amminadab, Amminadab of Nahshon, Nahshon of Salmon, Salmon of Boaz, Boaz of Obed, Obed of Jesse, and Jesse of David. (New Revised Standard Version) No, I didn’t make a mistake about what the verses are for today from the Revised Common Lectionary. Yes, the Old Testament lesson is a brief genealogy.…

The Gift

James F. Gauss December 25, 2023 By nature, and by culture, we as Americans, like to give and receive gifts.  We like to, if we can afford to, give gifts, not only at Christmas, our favorite time, but also on a person’s birthday, graduation, wedding and many other special occasions.  We also like to receive gifts at those times too.  We may even give or receive gifts for no particular reason at…

Works of John Bunyan: THE DOCTRINE OF THE LAW AND GRACE UNFOLDED. 531

by Thomas Sadler, oil on canvas, 1684 Fourth. If the surety stands bound, the debtor is at liberty, and if the law does issue out any process to take any, it will be the surety. [Though the debtor and the surety are liable to pay the debt by the law of man, Christ our Surety only by the Covenant of Grace]. And, O! how wonderfully accurate was this accomplished in that, when Christ our Surety…

Christmas is the Most Theological Time of the Year

Christmas is the most theological time of the year. It’s the time when the second member of the Trinity, God the Son, came into this world and took upon Himself humanity (John 1:1, 14). At a moment in time, in the womb of the virgin Mary, by a supernatural act of God the Holy Spirit (Luke 1:35), the hypostatic union was formed, and Jesus became the theanthropic Person, the God-Man, undiminished…

Gift of Prayer

Greetings to all brethren in Christ Jesus. Through much prayer and meditation and study, it has come to me, in prayer, that I am not required to zealously humble myself any further, adding word upon word to each and every one of my writings to the Churches, concerning my former grievous sins against Our Father and against our Lord Jesus and against the Holy Spirit. I am, however, to keep my…

Enjoy & Shine the Christ of Glory as the Excellent Treasure in our Earthen Vessel

We need to enjoy and shine forth the Christ of glory as the excellent treasure in our earthen vessel. As believers in Christ, we have this treasure in earthen vessels that the excellency of the power may be of God and not out of us; the Christ of glory is the priceless treasure in our earthen vessel, and when we behold Him and look into the index of His eyes, we are infused with His preciousness…

David: A King of Contrasts

1 David built houses for himself in the city of David. And he prepared a place for the ark of God and pitched a tent for it. 2 Then David said that no one but the Levites may carry the ark of God, for the Lord had chosen them to carry the ark of the Lord and to minister to him forever. 3 And David assembled all Israel at Jerusalem to bring up the ark of the Lord to its place, which he had…

Struggling in the Season (Genesis 25:19-28)

In this time of year, we may commonly associate the season with an emphasis on peace and unity. Yet, we must bear in mind that the need to emphasize these positive elements arises because enmity and discord exists among us.

Art by Sefira Lightstone These are the descendants of Isaac, Abraham’s son: Abraham was the father of Isaac, and Isaac was forty years old when he married Rebekah, daughter of Bethuel the Aramean of Paddan-aram, sister of Laban the Aramean. Isaac prayed to the Lord for his wife because she was barren, and the Lord granted his prayer, and his wife Rebekah conceived. The children struggled…

Trusting the Lord in Times of Suffering: An Expository Study of Alma 14

In our journey of faith, suffering can often feel insurmountable. It's in these moments that we must remember Christ's example and His ultimate sacrifice.

Alma the Younger and Amulek are led away from the fire that has consumed the believers in Ammonihah. Suffering is an inevitable part of the human experience, especially for believers striving to walk the path of righteousness. In Alma 14, we find a profound example of enduring faith amidst unimaginable trials. Alma and Amulek faced severe persecution and witnessed the martyrdom of the faithful,…

W3D4: Trusting God's Timing on the journey to get back.

As I prepare for today and look towards what’s next, I cling to God’s Word and His commands and promises to help me walk by faith even when I can’t see it just yet. I am needing to lean into God rather than my own understanding, acknowledging Him as the author and perfector of my faith. Genesis 31 spoke to me to “get out and go back�� and then as I was stepping out, Numbers 13 spoke to me to trust…

Two Vital Steps to Persevere in Trials

Two Vital Steps to Persevere in Trials Many times suffering invades our lives, even crisis at times. If the Bible refers to life as a race, it is in these times where it seems more like a cross country race up a mountain. Around every turn, it seems as if the end just gets farther and farther away. The trail can seem narrow, the gravel loose, and the breeze swift. A fall surely would e…

Why God isn't Raining Down His Wrath on Sinners Today

Main Reason Not one person today (neither for the past two millennia) can be called a Jew under a performance based covenant (contract) where they have to do their part (of the contract/perform) failing which, they have to bear the consequences of God’s judgment. God Does Not Lie 2. If God was raining down His wrath/judgment today (as many think he is) on sinners/the world, it would make 1…
