Moses’ Mandate From God
by Lou Nicholes

In these verses we can see what Moses gave up. He gave up a kingdom, to lead his people out into the desert on a great adventure for God. This great man is not the man who, like the Jews, is thrilled about the past and jealous of his privileges; he is the man who is ready to answer God’s summons …

Is it a sin to be rich?
by Lou Nicholes

Establishment of the New Heaven And New Earth
by Lou Nicholes

God sitting on a throne (v. 1) with the earth as His footstool (Acts 7:49). Because of His majesty no one can build a house for Him to dwell in (1 Kings 8:27). He is the Creator (v. 2). Yet what He values above His inanimate Creation are humble and contrite people (Isa. 57:15) who follow His …

The Pharisees Ask Jesus For a Sign From Heaven
by Lou Nicholes

The willful unbelief of the Pharisees disturbed the Lord to the depths of His spirit. They’re demanding to see a sign was not due to their desire to see the hand of God but because they were blind to His hand. The Biblical order for a Christian should be that “believing is se …

Persecution is Bound to Come
by Lou Nicholes

This passage can be divided into two topics:The Word of God within you (v. 13). We must never treat the Bible as we would some other book. This verse communicates the idea that the Word of God is to be taken by us. It means to welcome eagerly. When we receive the Bible, we’re say …

David Unjustly Accused.
by Lou Nicholes

David wrote this psalm in response to the slanderous accusations of those who claimed he was trying to kill Saul and seize the throne (I Sam. 24:9-11). Instead of taking matters into his own hands and striking back, David cried out to God for justice (vv. 1-2). Much of David’s prayer in …
