The Sin of Achan

“ 22  And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams. 23  For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.”  1 Sam 15:22-23 . The history of the past is littered with people that refused to obey the clear word of God. From the garden of Eden, where our first parents failed on the command not to touch the fruit of knowledge of good and evil, to succeeding generations, many stories have been recorded of people that simply refused to obey the voice of God. And great has been the suffering of humanity as a result of disobedience. Man has endeavored to be wiser than his creator and in the process has alienated himself from his God. One of the greatest battle recorded in the Bible is the battle of Jericho. The Angle of the Lord (Jesus Christ) met with Joshua ( ...

Destroyed for Lack of Knowledge

Happy Sabbath! It is another week and I trust that God has been gracious to you in the last week. This week we look at distractions that keep God's people from obtaining a saving knowledge of Him. Just before his crucifixion, Jesus spoke with the disciples about the last day events. In His speech was repeated the warning about deception. In Matthew 24, the subject of deception has been mentioned four times. “4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. 5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.” “11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” “23 Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24 For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25 Behold, I have told you before.” Matthew 24:4,5 11, 23-25. In the la...

The Big Bang Theory

God Spoke and BANG! it happened . 1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. 3 And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. 4 And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. 5 And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. 6 And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. 7 And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. 8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. 9 And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land ...

Fear God

“And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgment is come: and worship him that made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and the fountains of waters. ”  Rev 14:6,7 . “God brings against ministers and people the heavy charge of spiritual feebleness, saying, “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spew thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nake...
