Good Morning “Inquirers of God.”  Today we are in Ezekiel 14.One might think the elders of Judah, exiled in Babylon might be a little more squared away than those Ezekiel witnessed in Jerusalem.  Not… really.  In this chapter he gets a visit from 4 elders.  They are seeking a Word from the Lord, yet they have already separated themselves from Him because of their idol worship.  They have broken th...  Read More

Good Morning “Know IT Alls”.  Today we are in Ezekiel 13.News is big business - anything for ratings these days!  Truth doesn’t seem to matter.  You want the good news or the bad news?  Although news that divides, news that stirs passion - gets clicks, we all love to hear good news.  Especially when it has to do with us personally.  As long as time has existed man has realized that giving people g...  Read More

Good Morning “Truth Holders.”  Today we are in Ezekiel 12.3 strikes and you’re out…“I’m going to start counting, if I get to 10 you’re getting a spanking.  1,2,3….“I’m NOT going to tell you again!”Fear of consequences is little deterrent, when it comes to sin.  Satan somehow has convinced man “Don’t worry”, “Live your life”, “The day of reckoning will never come”, “You’ve got lots of time”!  Israe...  Read More

Good Morning “Leaders”.  Today we are in Ezekiel 11.These last 4 chapters have given us a progressive picture of God removing His Glory from The Temple and destroying Jerusalem.In short Gods people wanted nothing to do with Him.   In Chapter 8 we saw Ezekiel predicting the end of the city through a 14-month long street performance.  In Chapter 9 we learned that the Lord decreed the death of all un...  Read More

Good Morning “Church”.  Today we are in Ezekiel 10.  We likely find it challenging to completely wrap our minds around today’s passage.  Once again we see the incredible description of The Cherubim which by themselves are tough for us to fathom.  Now try to imagine the rest of the scene as the Glory of God departs from the Temple.  In the face of all of the incredible judgment and its associated s...  Read More

Good Morning “Burdened for The Lost.”  Today we are in Ezekiel 9.The fall of both Israel in the 8th century B.C. and that of Judah in the sixth century B.C. are foretastes of the coming of another day, the Day of the Lord.  John saw this day and warned of it.“And if anyone’s name was not found written in the book of life, he was thrown into the lake of fire.” Revelation 20:15 (NASB)Ezekiel was tak...  Read More

Good Morning “Idol Identifiers”.  Today we are in Ezekiel 8.This morning we begin a four-chapter section that explains why and how the glory of God departs from Israel’s temple.  As we know, Judah had exchanged worship of The One True God for worship of false gods, gods that fed their flesh. They had even brought their twisted worship into the Temple.  God finally had enough… His jealously was pea...  Read More

Good Morning “Worshipers of The Lord.”  Today we are in Ezekiel 7.  “Then they will know that I am the Lord.” Ezekiel‬ ‭7‬:‭27‬ ‭NIV‬‬That phrase or something very close to it appears around 72 times in Scripture - 58 times in Ezekiel alone.  Ok… so… what’s the point?  Shouldn’t God’s people already KNOW He is Lord?  Lord of ALL!  In their rejection of Him and His Word they had forgotten.  They ha...  Read More

Good Morning “Not Idolater’s”. Today we are in Ezekiel 6.  Charades is over, Ezekiel is now commanded to speak prophecy to Israel.  However; his manner still carries symbolism.  He is to turn and speak toward the mountains - specifically regarding judgment because of the high places.  The mountains themselves didn’t do anything wrong… it’s a matter of what Gods people had made them.  As we read th...  Read More

Good Morning “Fools for Christs Sake.”  Today we are in Ezekiel 5.  We all get weary… the question is, what do we do when we become weary?  God promises His sustaining power (Isaiah 40:31), that will bring a harvest if we don’t give up (Matthew 11:28, Galatians 6:9).  When we get weary of what God asks us to do we should remember what He asked the prophets to do in His name. Imagine doing Ezekiel’...  Read More

Good Morning “Painful Sacrificers”.  Today we are in Ezekiel 4.We’ve wrapped up the first section of Ezekiel (his call) and now moved into Gods Prophecy regarding Jerusalem’s total destruction.  We often think of Babylons siege of Jerusalem as just one event, but it was really 3 events.  The first time in 605 BC, the city of Jerusalem was taken and many of the citizens taken prisoner including the...  Read More

Good Morning “Word of God Digesters.”  Today we are in Ezekiel 3.Ezekiel had to be obedient and open his mouth… then The Lord was faithful, and gave him His Word.  His Word was sweet, despite containing a convicting message, His Word is GOOD!  We must internalize it!  It is food for our soul… “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.” Matthew 4:4G...  Read More
