Ezekiel 13:3 Thus saith the Lord GOD; Woe unto the foolish prophets, that follow their own spirit, and have seen nothing! I am afraid that this is very true of much preaching today. Men go on emotions, what they see, what they think, as they prepare to preach. They try to preach the Bible but […]

Ezekiel 8:12 Then said he unto me, Son of man, hast thou seen what the ancients of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery? for they say, The LORD seeth us not; the LORD hath forsaken the earth. Somewhere along the way we get so arrogant […]

Lamentations 3:25 The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. 26 It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD. 27 It is good for a man that he bear the yoke in his youth. Three good things […]

Jeremiah 50:6 My people hath been lost sheep: Their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: They have gone from mountain to hill, They have forgotten their restingplace. God’s people were like lost sheep. It was their shepherds that caused them to go astray. They forgot their […]

Jeremiah 47:7 How can it be quiet, seeing the LORD hath given it a charge Against Ashkelon, and against the sea shore? there hath he appointed it. The sword of the Lord is busy and making noise. It has gone out to accomplish what the Lord sent it to do. The question is how can […]

Jeremiah 42:4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said unto them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray unto the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatsoever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it unto you; I will keep nothing back from you. 5 Then […]

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. 12 Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. 13 And ye shall seek me, […]

Jeremiah 27:9 Therefore hearken not ye to your prophets, nor to your diviners, nor to your dreamers, nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, which speak unto you, saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon: Jeremiah warned the people to not listen to different people that spoke to them. They had prophets, […]

Jeremiah 17:7 Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. 8 For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be […]

Jeremiah 9:23 Thus saith the LORD, Let not the wise man glory in his wisdom, Neither let the mighty man glory in his might, Let not the rich man glory in his riches: 24 But let him that glorieth glory in this, That he understandeth and knoweth me, That I am the LORD which exercise […]

Jeremiah 3:15 And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understanding. God was constantly disappointed with the pastors and shepherds of Israel. They were often selfish. They used the people for their own purposes. They didn’t seek after God. They didn’t care for the sheep, the […]

Isaiah 58:6-7 Is not this the fast that I have chosen? To loose the bands of wickedness, To undo the heavy burdens, And to let the oppressed go free, And that ye break every yoke? 7 Is it not to deal thy bread to the hungry, And that thou bring the poor that are cast […]

Isaiah 54:2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, And let them stretch forth the curtains of thine habitations: Spare not, lengthen thy cords, and strengthen thy stakes; This is the verse that William Carey used to write his very famous article or sermon that caused the modern missionary movement called AN ENQUIRY INTO THE OBLIGATIONS […]

Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; And through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; Neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. Israel has great and rich promises from the Lord. I believe that these same promises […]

Isaiah 37:20 Now therefore, O LORD our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art the LORD, even thou only. The battle today is to show which is the one true God. Can you hear the Muslims as they boast about the power of their […]

Isaiah 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, Whose mind is stayed on thee: Because he trusteth in thee. In the storms that will come in your life on the mission field only one thing will keep you going and that will be if you learn to think on these things. Philippians 4:8 Finally, […]
