Before Israelites entered the Promised Land, Moses warned they "will do evil in the sight of the LORD, to provoke Him to anger through the work of your hands" (Deuteronomy 31:29). How bad would they get? “The LORD will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching, and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish” (Deuteronomy 28:22). “A nation whom you have not known shall eat the fruit of your land and the produce of your labor, and you shall be only oppressed and crushed continually” (Deuteronomy 28:33). When they would not return back to God, God said, “Prepare to meet your God” (Amos 4:12). “The wicked shall be turned into hell, And all the nations that forget God” (Psalm 9:17). As a nation, let’s remember God. - 11-8-2021

As Elijah watched, “behold, the LORD passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice” (1 Kings 19:11-12). Earthly powers humble humanity: Hurricanes and tornadoes destroy; earthquakes shake our foundation; fires consume our works, but God is not in any of these, for “our God is in heaven” (Psalm 115:3). These humbling powers should make us listen to His voice in Scripture. Jesus said, "blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!" (Luke 11:28) In re-building, build faith! - 9-13-2021

“Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my owncountrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, inperils among false brethren; in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness” (2 Corinthians 11:25-27).
(1) Jesus never said it would be easy to “preach the word.”
(2) Life is a “risk” or ”peril,” but that’s no excuse for avoiding the market-place or going to church (Acts 17:17; 20:7)!
(3) Where was Paul’s “guardian angel” to keep these things from happening? Take a chance on life. - March 22, 2021

The Flood Sand Dunes - 3-8-2021
“For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water” (2 Peter 3:5-6). People act as though the world-wide flood in Noah’s day (Genesis 6-9) was some exaggerated local flood. About one-fourth of the State of Nebraska has grass-held sand dunes, some over 400 feet high. This area of western Nebraska, known as the Sand Hills, can only be explained as sediment from a great flood. Since there is no ocean nearby to explain this huge beach in the middle of dry land, a person must “willfully forget” about the flood in Noah’s day to make-believe there’s any other explanation! No “billion-year Evolution,” for only God was needed. Do you believe?
