It is interesting that the Psalmist thinks about community and justice in the context of worship. We think of worship as something we render to God but the Psalmist considers it also a desire or prayer that the congregation is blessed with the goodness of God—in this case, fellowship and justice—as they enter into his …

“There he set up an altar and called it El Elohe Israel.” El Elohe Israel can mean El is the God of Israel or mighty is the God of Israel. This is the end of the journey of Jacob. What can you learn about God and how his relationship with Jacob unfolded? I wonder what …

WORSHIPPsalm 122 I rejoiced with those who said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.” For many Christians, going to church on Sundays is at best an obligation, to fulfil a duty and to meet expectations. They endure through the songs, prayers and the sermon and rejoice when the worship is …

EL ELOHE ISRAELGenesis 32-33 “O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, Lord, you who said to me, ‘Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,’ I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when …

THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOBGenesis 31 Then God came to Laban the Aramean in a dream at night and said to him, “Be careful not to say anything to Jacob, either good or bad.” We shouldn’t take God’s warning to Laban to mean he should not speak at all; Laban said a lot …

THE BLESSING OF GOD’S PEOPLEGenesis 30 “If I have found favor in your eyes, please stay. I have learned by divination that the Lord has blessed me because of you.” I firmly believe that Christians are a blessing to others just by being obedient to God and his Word. God’s wisdom and God’s ways are …

“In reply Jesus said”: There were times when Jesus refused to play the game of his interrogators, for example when they asked him by whose name does he cast out demons and when they asked for a sign. But he takes seriously this man’s question even when his intention was to justify himself—clearly Jesus did …

WHAT MUST I DO TO INHERIT ETERNAL LIFE?Luke 10 He answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” “You have answered correctly,” Jesus replied. “Do this and you will live.” Jesus’ answer …

I have not really seen it in this light, the joy that Jesus had when Satan was brought down. Is it the joy of defeating an enemy or the joy of freeing mankind from his grasp? The latter, I would think. If the evil one is so easily defeated by human power and intellect God …

WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?Luke 10 “Whoever listens to you listens to me; whoever rejects you rejects me; but whoever rejects me rejects him who sent me.” It is tragic that we mostly view ourselves in negative light—weak, lazy, and unwilling to do more than the minimum that is required of us. The demands of being …
