Isaiah 1:25: “I will turn my hand upon thee, and purely purge away thy dross, and take away all they tin.” I recently watched a silent movie on You Tube that showed an old Model T Ford from the twenties driving along a rough dirt road. It is a wonder these cars ever stayed
Zechariah 4:6: “Then he answered and spake unto me, saying, This [is] the word of the LORD unto Zerubbabel, saying, Not by might, nor by power, but by my spirit, saith the LORD of hosts.” I thought of this verse very early this morning as I sat on my porch reconnecting with
Exodus 35:21: “ And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his spirit made willing, [and] they brought the LORD’S offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments.” As I am not a theologian
Exodus 4:24-26: “And it came to pass by the way in the inn, that the LORD met him, and sought to kill him. Then Zipporah took a sharp stone, and cut off the foreskin of her son, and cast [it] at his feet, and said, Surely a bloody husband [art] thou to me. So
Proverbs 23:7: “For as he thinketh in his heart, so [is] he: Eat and drink, saith he to thee; but his heart [is] not with thee.” Something I have never understood in our Western culture are beauty pageants.

Psalms 12:1: “To the chief Musician upon Sheminith, A Psalm of David. Help, LORD; for the godly man ceaseth; for the faithful fail from among the children of men.” The word sheminith means the eighth and is believed to refer to the eight cords or strings of the harp in The Sanctuary. I was
Psalms 11:5: “The LORD trieth the righteous: but the wicked and him that loveth violence his soul hateth.” I really hate when our Modern Translations use the word hate in association with God. I mean if He can hate even a violent person then what is it going to take for Him
I am finishing up a new book with a working title of When A Hebrew Word Hits the Road Bringing Biblical Hebrew Words to 21st Century Christian Living. Below is taken from one of its chapters. Psalms 30:5 “For His anger is but for the moment, His favor is for a life time. Weeping may
Isaiah 48:11: “For my own sake, (even) for my own sake, will I do it; for how should my name be polluted? And I will not give my glory to another.” Wow, this is really telling about God. The prior verse declares that He will test us in the fires of affliction and now in
