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…

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…

God Will

1  Now when the king lived in his house and the Lord had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies, 2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent.” 3 And Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you.” 4 But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, 5 “Go and tell my servant…

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…

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…

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…

It's In the Details (Exodus 28:29-38)

The fact of the details lets us know that the plan is important.

Aaron the High Priest “Whenever Aaron enters the Holy Place, he will bear the names of the sons of Israel over his heart on the breast-piece of decision as a continuing memorial before the Lord. Also put the Urim and the Thummim in the breast-piece, so they may be over Aaron’s heart whenever he enters the presence of the Lord. Thus Aaron will always bear the means of making decisions for the…

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…

Children of Abraham, children of promise

Core of the Bible podcast #113 – Children of Abraham, children of promise In my last post, we reviewed the concept of covenants in the Bible, and I concluded by stating how believers today can participate in the promises that God made to Abraham when we simply come to God in faith, believing in his Messiah, Yeshua.
