Just the grass family includes over 11,500 accepted species. I suppose we still have things to learn! The Lord has been teaching Job specific lessons from specific creations. Earth’s foundations teach the reality of the invisible world (Job 38:4). The waves reveal that God has set limits on what happens in His world, not only […]
JESUS the ONE to KNOW: “By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us” (1 Jn 3:16). M.S. Braithwaite tells about a poor homeless waif, whose street name was “Little Broomstick.” She took sick one Christmas, and was taken to the hospital. While there she heard the story of Jesus coming […]
“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory…” (Jn 1:14). A word is the embodiment of an idea. Throughout history, people had ideas about God, but now, says John, “we have heard,…we have seen with our eyes,…we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, concerning the Word of […]
Holidays can be excellent, though often difficult, opportunities to reach out to relatives and friends who don’t know the Lord. Lonely people, international students—these were the kind of people, Jesus said, to invite to a “feast.” We should ask those who cannot recompense us, or invite us back (see Lk 14:13-14). I recall a life-changing […]
Whatever these creatures are, they’re giants to us. To God? He might consider them some of His pets. In the battle for Job’s heart, the struggle that’s been raging since Chapter 1, this is the final round. It’s the clash of wills in the heart of every person throughout history, since the gauntlet was first […]
JESUS the DOVE MAN: “And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, ‘You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased’” (Lk 3:22). An old anonymously written book called “This is the Way” tells about a Bedouin guide who traversed […]
“For the Father Himself loves you…” (Jn 16:27). Can we say that the whole human race had become Fatherless in the Fall? I think so! There was a Father, of course, like the prodigal son had a father, but we had fled the home. Modern society’s problem today is the opposite. The National Fatherhood Initiative […]
It is sometimes assumed that our Lord’s use of the title “Son of Man” is meant to emphasize His humanity. But is that true? William Lane Craig writes: “‘Son of Man’ is often thought to indicate the humanity of Jesus, just as the reflex expression ‘Son of God’ indicates His divinity. In fact, just the […]
We all know what it’s like to be humbled by a virus we can’t see, and that doesn’t even know it humbled us! It’s impossible for Job to even begin to do any of the tasks the Lord gave him. Can he act like God, flexing His mighty arm? Can he speak like God, thundering […]
