Casket: Judah’s Unrepentant Sin
Jeremiah 31:31-34 “Behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the LORD. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the LORD: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts.

There’s no better way to be in God’s word than having a plan to do so.…
Peace is Not Found in Princes or Presidents
The calls and texts over the past few days, have stirred my heart. Election stress. Vote counting chaos. It appears that for many there is a tsunami of despair about to sweep us away. Are we really approaching “the end of democracy,” as so many national headlines proclaim? If one fills one’s mind with cable news, one will certainly be unable to sleep at night. I invite you to fill your heart and mind with the eternal words of God…
Is There Hope for the Future?
As I watch the world, sometimes I wonder if it will survive. The stress points of society seem to continue to increase. The virus was stressful enough by itself. Then came the financial fallout as a result. These were uncharted waters; a global pandemic and a recession worse than 1929. Then the little boat of our country was pummeled by hurricane Racism.
