In desperate times.

March 31, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Jonah 2:7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: And my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple. When things got really bad Jonah knew who to call on. He called on the Lord. He knew that God would hear and answer. He was running but he still knew that […]

Couldn’t deny it

March 30, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Jonah 1:9 And he said unto them, I am an Hebrew; and I fear the LORD, the God of heaven, which hath made the sea and the dry land. Jonah is running from the will of God. He wants to do anything but carry out the message God has told him to carry. As he […]

No place to hide

March 29, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Amos 9:2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; Though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down: Did you know that you can’t get away from God. There is no place to hide. If you were to go all the way down to the lowest parts of […]

The Lord called him

March 28, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Amos 7:15 And the LORD took me as I followed the flock, and the LORD said unto me, Go, prophesy unto my people Israel. Amos knew that this ministry was not something he had gone looking for. He had been working as a shepherd. He had no thoughts or intentions of getting out into the […]

No place to be at ease

March 27, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Amos 6:1 Woe to them that are at ease in Zion, And trust in the mountain of Samaria, Which are named chief of the nations, To whom the house of Israel came! They were at ease because they felt like Samaria could take care of them. We can easily begin to feel safe because of […]

Quit sinning and do right

March 26, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Amos 5:14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: And so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. The man of God is talking to the people of God. He tells them that it is time to quit living for themselves and start obeying God. From […]

They still didn’t turn back to God

March 25, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Amos 4:8 So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; But they were not satisfied: Yet have ye not returned unto me, saith the LORD. Amazingly God can send punishment to His children and they will still not turn to Him. He caused it to rain in different places. He was […]

God does punish His people

March 24, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Amos 2:4 Thus saith the LORD; For three transgressions of Judah, And for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; Because they have despised the law of the LORD, And have not kept his commandments, And their lies caused them to err, After the which their fathers have walked: I think we want […]

God can speak to you where ever you are

March 23, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Amos 1:1 THE words of Amos, who was among the herdmen of Tekoa, which he saw concerning Israel in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel, two years before the earthquake. God is about to use Amos to take His message to […]

Time to decide

March 22, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Joel 3:14 Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: For the day of the LORD is near in the valley of decision. Judgment was every where there in the book of Joel. God was calling His people back to Him. They needed to decide if they would love and serve Him or not. They were […]

God is looking for a heart change

March 21, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Joel 2:13 And rend your heart, and not your garments, And turn unto the LORD your God: For he is gracious and merciful, Slow to anger, and of great kindness, And repenteth him of the evil. God wanted them to have a broken heart, a heart that was changed. God wanted a heart that desired […]

Crying out to God because

March 20, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Joel 1:19 O LORD, to thee will I cry: For the fire hath devoured the pastures of the wilderness, And the flame hath burned all the trees of the field. God’s people have sinned against Him. They are suffering because of their sin. They do not call on God because they love Him. They do […]

Time to turn and repent of our sin

March 19, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 14:1 O Israel, return unto the LORD thy God; For thou hast fallen by thine iniquity. The reason the calamity is happening is that God’s people have turned from Him. They have turned to sin. They have done wrong. Their sin and wrong has brought horrible consequences. It is time to turn and get […]

There is no one but Him

March 18, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 13:4 Yet I am the LORD thy God from the land of Egypt, And thou shalt know no god but me: For there is no saviour beside me. They should recognize God for who He is. He is the One that brought them out of the land of Egypt. He is the One that […]

Do right and wait on God

March 17, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 12:6 Therefore turn thou to thy God: Keep mercy and judgment, And wait on thy God continually. Isn’t this sweet. They have been wrong and living in rebellion. Now it they are ready to get right. They are to turn to God, do right, and wait on God. Those are good steps for all […]

Bands of love

March 16, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 11:4 I drew them with cords of a man, with bands of love: And I was to them as they that take off the yoke on their jaws, And I laid meat unto them. The strongest tie we can have over anyone is the one the Lord has over us. That is love. The […]

Steps to revival

March 15, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 10:12 Sow to yourselves in righteousness, Reap in mercy; Break up your fallow ground: For it is time to seek the LORD, Till he come and rain righteousness upon you. God’s people should be seeking Him. They should hunger and seek after righteousness desiring to please God. They should live and act like the […]

Israel was unfaithful to God

March 14, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 9:1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for joy, as other people: For thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, Thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor. This passage of Scripture is pretty horrible. God wanted Israel to know that they shouldn’t be too happy. They should realize that He knows that they are […]

Sunday in Review

March 14, 2017 By Jeffery Brown Leave a Comment

We had another great Sunday at Vision Baptist Church! There were almost two hundred and fifty people in church ready to worship.

The Word of God is nothing special

March 13, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 8:12 I have written to him the great things of my law, But they were counted as a strange thing. God said that He wrote His Word for them but they didn’t care. It was as something strange or foreign to them. They had no real respect for God or His Word. I do […]

Judgment is coming

March 12, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 7:13 Woe unto them! for they have fled from me: Destruction unto them! because they have transgressed against me: Though I have redeemed them, yet they have spoken lies against me. God had loved His people. He had brought them out of the slavery in Egypt. He had given them the promised land. Instead […]

Left to suffer until

March 11, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 5:15 I will go and return to my place, Till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: In their affliction they will seek me early. God says that He is stepping away until they realize that they have sinned. They will be allowed to continue in their suffering until they decide to seek […]

Sad Words

March 10, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 4:17 Ephraim is joined to idols: Let him alone. It was time to leave Ephraim alone. He had made his decision. He had gone too far. God said to just leave him. There can come a time in your life when you will be so stuck on your sin that God will just leave […]

Israel will be coming back to God

March 9, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 3:5 Afterward shall the children of Israel return, and seek the LORD their God, and David their king; and shall fear the LORD and his goodness in the latter days. As Hosea lives out his story and life that God has called him to Hosea can see that God is going to bring Israel […]

The prophet sent to live out his message

March 8, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Hosea 1:2 The beginning of the word of the LORD by Hosea. And the LORD said to Hosea, Go, take unto thee a wife of whoredoms and children of whoredoms: for the land hath committed great whoredom, departing from the LORD. When you study the prophets an interesting thing is to notice how many times […]

What did Daniel see about today

March 7, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Daniel 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Daniel is a book of prophecy. It is a book of God telling us what He is going to do, what is going […]

Daniel 10:12 Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and humbled yourself before your God, your words have been heard, and I have come because of your words. It must of seemed to Daniel that God was not listening. It would have […]

Daniel 9:13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth. There was and is a cause and effect in place. When we do wrong we […]

Magnifying ourselves in our hearts

Daniel 8:25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.

Make a heart decision

March 1, 2017 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king’s meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself.
