Pass Along Values (1 Kings 2:1-11)

Nobody needs to wait until they are nearly gone to communicate important values and sage advice to loved ones.

David’s Dying Charge to Solomon, by Ferdinand Bol (1616-1680) David’s time was coming to an end. So he commanded Solomon his son, “I’m following the path that the whole earth takes. Be strong and be a man. Guard what is owed to the Lord your God, walking in his ways and observing his laws, his commands, his judgments, and his testimonies, just as it is written in the Instruction from Moses. “In…

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…

David: A King of Contrasts

1 David built houses for himself in the city of David.

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…

Are there other reasons why many Christian denominations discourage/condemn divorce besides what the Bible says?

While the primary reasons many Christian denominations discourage or condemn divorce stem from biblical teachings, there are also additional reasons rooted in theological, moral, and practical considerations: Sacredness of Marriage: Many Christian denominations view marriage as a sacred covenant ordained by God, and divorce is seen as a violation of that covenant. They emphasize the importance…

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…

A Prayer of Confession (Ezra 9:5-15)

Whenever things are awry, circumstances are less than desirable, and situations seem overwhelming, the place to begin is to pray.

Ezra In Prayer, by Gustave Doré, 1866 Then, at the evening sacrifice, I rose from my self-abasement, with my tunic and cloak torn, and fell on my knees with my hands spread out to the Lord my Godand prayed: “I am too ashamed and disgraced, my God, to lift up my face to you, because our sins are higher than our heads and our guilt has reached to the heavens. From the days of our ancestors until…

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…

2024- What's Your Word Heading into this Year?

This “Tradition” started a couple years ago (in 2022) with a group of friends from a Bible Study group I unexpectedly joined in October 2021. I say “unexpectedly” because I wasn’t looking for a group to join, I only went to be supportive of a friend who wanted to check it out, at the last minute one evening. So I went and ended up joining the group. Reflecting on this and knowing who God is, this…
