Walking with God

-

"This is the account of Noah.  Noah was a righteous man, blameless among the people of his time, and he walked with God."  (Genesis 6:9, NIV)  The Bible tells of a number of people who “walked with God.”  Most of their names are well known to those familiar with the Bible.  Considering that God is the all-powerful maker of everything, doesn't it make you just a little bit curious as to what it means that they “walked with God?”  God has given an open invitation and wants you to walk with Him also.

Let These Words Sink In

Luke 9:23-45 Who is Jesus? When we say that He is the Son of God, what do we mean? Jesus said of Himself: John 14:6 (NKJV) I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If this is true, and it is, then nothing is more important than knowing who Jesus is. Jesus spent three years with twelve men teaching them the truth about who He is. He did this so the world can know who He is. Jesus gives anyone who comes to Him free access without cost or charge. And yet in what seems like a contradiction, knowing Him cost everything. Jesus put it to His disciples as follows. He said: Luke 9:23–24 (NKJV) 23 If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me. 24 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will save it. Who is Jesus that He should demand such devotion? How can He promise that losing one’s life for His sake means saving that life? Indeed

Luke 9:18-27 The Father sent Jesus to do His will. In His short, thirty-three year life, Jesus accomplished all the Father gave Him to do. Luke tells us that he accurately followed everything that Jesus did and wrote an orderly account. Much of Luke's account is devoted to the teaching and preaching work that Jesus did. The Gospel of Luke is notable for its parables and Jesus' proclamation of the good news concerning the kingdom of God. As Jesus' ministry grows, Luke 8:1 tells us: Luke 8:1 (NKJV) Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every city and village, preaching and bringing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God. And the twelve were with Him, The twelve were with Him. These men observed all that Jesus did. As Jesus traveled throughout the country, teaching the people the truth, His twelve Apostles watched how He did what He did. Through this process, Jesus trained His disciples. Staying with Jesus day and night, they learned both His message and

Samuel Anoints God’s Man

1 Samuel 16 According to 1 Samuel 15:35, Samuel mourned for Saul, and God regretted that He had made Saul king. It is hard to understand how God, who does not repent or change His mind (Numbers 23:19, 1 Samuel 15:29), can regret something. In other places, Scripture speaks of God ’ s regret. For example, Genesis 6:6 says: Genesis 6:6 (NKJV) And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart. The rebellion, sin, and wickedness that the human race chose grieved the heart of God. God grieves over His fallen creatures. When God gave the law through Moses, He expressed His desire that His people would choose to follow Him. First, in the preliminaries of giving the law, He says: Deuteronomy 5:29 (NKJV) Oh, that they had such a heart in them that they would fear Me and always keep all My commandments, that it might be well with them and with their children forever! Next, at the end of giving the law, God says: Deuteronomy 32:29 (NKJV) Oh
