October 15 for you shall not worship any other god, for the Lord, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God. — Exodus 34:14

Is God Jealous?

What does it mean that God is a jealous God? When we use the word "jealous" in reference to other people, it almost always has a negative connotation, but not so with God. God is not jealous of us, He is not jealous of some other god, because there is no other god—merely figments of somebody's imagination. He is jealous for our good in the same way that every father and mother here is jealous for their children. Hopefully no one... More

October 14 For the word of God is alive, and active, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, of joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intents of the heart. — Hebrews 4:12

The Mighty Word of God

One of the canons of multicultural America is that no culture is better or worse than any other. That is why there is very little acknowledgement of the unspeakable horrors, cannibalism among them, practiced by pagan peoples. This raises the question: how have formerly barbarous cultures been raised to civilization? Well, there is nothing in the annals of history that compares to what the World of God has done to civilize barbaric peoples.... More

October 13 … and be sure your sin will find you out. — Numbers 32:23

Sinning with Impunity?

Sometimes Christians mistakenly think that if we sin, we can somehow escape the penalty for sin because of the forgiveness Christ purchased for us on the Cross. We may be forgiven, but we may also still face the consequences of those sins. David's sin with Bathsheba negatively impacted his family. His son Absalom rebelled and attempted to stage a coup against David. In that rebellion, Absalom was killed. When news was brought to the king... More

October 12 Surely you shall call a nation that you do not know, and nations that did not know you shall run to you because of the Lord your God, even the Holy One of Israel; for He has glorified you. Seek the Lord while He may be found, call you upon Him while He is near. — Isaiah 55:5-6

Columbus Day

Christopher Columbus is a somewhat unappreciated hero today. Nonetheless, his accomplishment in history was huge. He himself said, "It was the Lord who put it into my mind to sail to the Indies. The fact that the Gospel must be preached to so many lands—that is what convinced me. Charting the seas is but a necessary requisite for the fulfillment of the Great Commission of our glorious Savior." He attempted great things for God, and he... More

October 11 Beware that you do not forget the Lord your God … when you have eaten and are full and have built and occupied good houses. — Deuteronomy 8:11-12

Temptations that Rise from Prosperity

King David fell victim to what might be called "the middle-aged syndrome" of success and sex. How many people I have known who have followed in his train—individuals who once walked well. Like David, they had endured all of the temptations that arise out of adversity with reasonable success, but now a whole new set of temptations come—the temptations that arise from prosperity. Flush with success, the devil breathes his... More

October 10 Then Jesus answered them, "Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's." — Mark 12:17

The State—Part of Common Grace

The authority of the state comes from God, and the state is answerable to God. Whenever that truth is lost sight of, totalitarianism will eventually be the result. The state, therefore, is an agency of God's common grace (not His special grace which deals with our salvation). It is a means by which He restrains wickedness and does not allow it to run its greatest course. In the realm of God's common grace, He has given us the state. Its... More

October 9 Thus says the Lord, your Redeemer, the Holy One of Israel: I am the Lord your God, who teaches you to profit, who leads you in the way you should go. — Isaiah 48:17

God's Guidance

How does your day begin? Do you seek the guidance of our blessed God, who loves us infinitely and who is infinitely wise and all-powerful? If not, you are missing out. When I was in graduate school at New York University, I had a speaking engagement in San Francisco. When I got there, my wife called me and said that my father was very ill and in the hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. I had a dilemma. Should I fly there from San Francisco,... More
