Good Morning “Life Respect-ers”.  Today we are in Jeremiah 19.I’ve heard some ridiculous stuff floating around our world lately.  Chief among them is the absolute lie that God accepted even requested child sacrifice in The Bible.  First, God created us in His image, male and female (Genesis 1:27).  He declared that anyone who murders shall be put to death (Genesis 9:6, Exodus 21:23).  Furthermore ...  Read More

Good Morning “Do Gooders”.  Today we are in Jeremiah 18.God sends Jeremiah to the potters house for a little reminder.  “…so the potter formed it into another pot, shaping it as seemed best to him.” Jeremiah‬ ‭18‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬“Yet you, Lord, are our Father. We are the clay, you are the potter; we are all the work of your hand.”‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭64‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬We are merely clay… He molds and makes us into w...  Read More

Good Morning “Jesus Talkers”.  Today we are in Jeremiah 17.  The “Self Help” movement is huge.  You know, “self care”, “self love”, “self actualization”, and among them “self talk”.  Self talk… you know the kind of “self encouragement”, that builds us up, hypes us up, helps convince us that it’s all within us to accomplish anything and everything. So how’s your “Self Talk” game?  Here are the top ...  Read More

Good Morning “Generational Sin Breakers.”  Today we are in Jeremiah 16.  Speaking of Israel’s impending time of judgment God instructs Jeremiah ““When you tell these people all this and they ask you, ‘Why has the Lord decreed such a great disaster against us? What wrong have we done? What sin have we committed against the Lord our God?’ then say to them, ‘It is because your ancestors forsook me,’ ...  Read More

Good Morning “Jesus Lovers.”  Today we are in Jeremiah 15.  Chapter after Chapter, Book after Book God speaks through His prophets of His impending judgment on His people.  At first it seems harsh.  If you love people, the backsliders and the lost, your heart should sink as you read.  Why, why is God so “harsh”?  First, note this: understand that as we read and study continued reminders to Israel,...  Read More

Good Morning “Bereans”.  Today we are in Jeremiah 14.“But I said, “Alas, Sovereign Lord! The prophets keep telling them, ‘You will not see the sword or suffer famine. Indeed, I will give you lasting peace in this place.’ ”‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭14‬:‭13‬ ‭NIV‬‬What is Jeremiah actually saying?  What is his defense for the nation?  “But Lord, it’s the prophets.  They are telling the people it’s ok.”  By water...  Read More

Good Morning “Glory Givers.”  Today we are in Jeremiah 13.“Give glory to the Lord your God before he brings the darkness, before your feet stumble on the darkening hills.” Jeremiah‬ ‭13‬:‭16‬a NIV‬‬We really don’t know how much time we have.  He has uniquely gifted each of us and blessed us with all that we have (1 Corinthians 4:7).  He’s placed us exactly where we are for this time, this place, t...  Read More

Good Morning “Prepared for Greater Things.”  Today we are in Jeremiah 12.  “…Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why do all the faithless live at ease? You have planted them, and they have taken root; they grow and bear fruit. You are always on their lips but far from their hearts.” Jeremiah‬ ‭12‬:‭1‬-‭2‬ ‭NIV‬‬Job wrestled with this question (Job 12:6), as did David (Psalm 37:1-7).  I’m guess...  Read More

Good Morning “Covenant Keepers.”  Today we are in Jeremiah 11.Gods message to Judah and Jerusalem is clear.  Obey Gods Word, keep your Covenant and be blessed. Forget My Word and serve other gods and be cursed.Their rebellion runs a stark contrast to Psalm 1:1-2  “Blessed is the one who does not walk in step with the wicked or stand in the way that sinners take or sit in the company of mockers, bu...  Read More

Good Morning “Desiring Discipline.”  Today we are in Jeremiah 10.Because of the tone of Isaiah and Jeremiah, we have been camping on Gods Holy Character that demands Justice - for some time now.  Jeremiah’s heart in today’s chapter blows my mind!  He first brings a Word from The Lord noting the nations idolatry,  and reminding them that God is ALL POWERFUL.  He created it ALL.  He controls it ALL....  Read More

Good Morning “In Gods Strength”. Today we are in Jeremiah 9.Today’s passage reminds me of Caleb in the book of Joshua.  Caleb was about 85 years old, yet he boasted, “I’m as strong as I ever was.”  Some have claimed that living a clean, Godly life kept Caleb physically fit.  Doubtful!  I believe Caleb’s strength was in his acknowledgment that God was his strength!  When he was young, Caleb didn’t ...  Read More

Good Morning “Sheep”.  Today we are in Jeremiah 8.Israel wanted to do it their way.  They departed from Gods “restrictive” Word and wanted to be free to indulge any and all of what their flesh desired - without consequence.  They embraced “god-themed” messages that fed their imaginations, their twisted ideas of what they wanted God to be - while ignoring His standard.  We also, live in a time and ...  Read More
