Introducing Zechariah by Lance Ponder⁽⁸⁴⁾ Zechariah is the eleventh of the Minor Prophets. He lived at about the same time as Haggai. We know this by the content of their writings and by the fact they are both mentioned by Ezra (Ezra 5:1, 6:14). Haggai was concerned with restoration and being about the Lord’s business. Zechariah has a much longer list of concerns. Essentially picking up where Haggai leaves off, Zechariah calls for repentance, sincerity, and purification. Zechariah also contains numerous messianic and apocalyptic prophecies. Where Haggai was primarily concerned with messages to the present audience, Zechariah seems to write more for the sake of a future audience. The book of Zechariah is one of the...

Better Than Mansions by Jim Reynolds⁽¹⁵⁾ Many homespun preachers have suggested, “Jesus, as the master carpenter, has spent thousands of years handcrafting your eternal home.” It sounds beautiful. The promise of an eternal and opulent mansion, waiting for us in glory, feeds our hope. It probably also feeds our greed. Inside, I shake my head when I hear people speculate about fishing in heaven or playing golf on the universe’s best course. Will heaven merely be an extended, and lavish, retirement? The idea is supposed to be “Since I have a mansion waiting for me, I don’t have to worry about getting all I can now.” But, have you noticed how aggressively we pursue the riches of earth anyway?...

Our Inner Wardrobe by Edith Pont It’s that time of year again when I usually begin to clean out my closet and fill up bags that end up at the Salvation Army. I take out my clothes, try it on and dispose of items that are too worn or that don’t fit anymore. It’s so liberating to be able to let go of “stuff” that I just don’t use or is no longer a good fit. I must admit that the process of cleaning out my closet is uncomfortable. It’s a drag having to take everything out, just to put it back in. I have to try on items that sometimes I know just won’t fit and have to face that reality. After I’m done trying things, I think, “I can’t put the clothes back in...

My Shame Rolled Away by Brian Farrell⁽²³⁴⁾ So it was, when they had finished circumcising all the people, that they stayed in their places in the camp till they were healed. Then the LORD said to Joshua, " This day I have rolled away the reproach of Egypt from you. " Therefore the name of the place is called Gilgal (literally “rolling”) to this day (Joshua 5:8-9). One of the greatest types in the Bible is found in the correlation between the Exodus of Israel from the bondage and slavery of Egypt and the new birth, the freedom from bondage to sin and death found in Christ. Egypt is a type of sin, and Israel a type of the person who has been forgiven and born again through faith in Jesus. Joshua, and the people of... (read the rest of what Brian Farrell wrote.)


What You Should Expect as a New Christian by Teresa^(1,654) So you have surrendered your life to Christ-congratulations! I rejoice with you, Jesus, and the angels. When I first gave my life to Lord, I was excited and nervous. Many times, I felt out of place. I didn't know anyone at church, but I didn't want to continue to live the same life that God had rescued me from. Nobody told me being a Christian was going to be tough. I thought it was just a matter of professing a faith in God. The truth is, becoming a Christian is not about joining a club, or adding a religion to your life. It is about exchanging your life for the life of Christ. It is about recognizing your need for the Savior and repenting of your sin. Granted, in the... (read the rest of what Teresa Ortiz wrote.)		Always Caring For Mom by Deborrah K Ogans⁽¹⁴⁾ CARING FOR MOM Now that I am over fifty I can really look at things through my Mother's eyes. Today we took her some beautiful flowers. My Mom always loved fresh flowers she will always be alive in my heart. There are times that I miss her dearly; but I have peace knowing that she is resting and happily present with the Lord. I can look back and be thankful of the time I spent with her. In her later years my Mom gradually began to say what I now call a " slow goodbye " . My Mother was a very strong willed woman. I was her only daughter among my many brothers. I will always remember how she reminded me that she prayed that the Lord would give her a daughter. It was actually...
