Psalm 45:1-17

Not everything will remain as it was and is.  There is a day that is coming when the world in which we live and the people of the earth will change in a very radical way.  We live in a world where God is mocked and Jesus is used as a swear word as much or more than it is used in prayer or worship.  These days will not last forever.  There is a change coming to this planet in which Jesus will be worshiped by all the nations of the world.  This Psalm looks forward to that wonderful day when Christ returns to the earth as King and establishes His throne forever and ever.  It may seem that this day is very far away, but it is most definitely coming and it will be a very glorious day.  We must learn to live in light of that day today.

JESUS WILL BE A VICTORIOUS WARRIOR: The first time that Jesus came to this earth; He came as a small baby, He was persecuted, criticized, misunderstood and eventually crucified by the nation to whom He had revealed Himself the most.  This will not be the case when Christ returns to this earth.  At His second coming, Jesus will come as a warrior that will be victorious over all of the nations of the world.  He will come with a sword and arrows that will puncture the hearts of men who have no fear of God.  All the enemies of God will be vanquished and Jesus will stand victorious over every nation on the face of the earth.  No matter how difficult things may get on the earth, we must remember that the day of Christ’s return is coming.  We do not know when, but we do know that He is coming and we know how He is coming.  He will come as a victorious warrior.


JESUS WILL BE A WORSHIPED KING: Jesus will assume His rightful place on the throne that has been promised to Him.  Jesus was a descendant of David and God promised that David would always have a descendant upon the throne.  Jesus is the fulfillment of that promise.  Jesus will reign as God and King over all the nations of the world.  His chosen people, Israel will be in His presence arrayed in splendor and freely worshiping her King.  All of the nations of the world will bow in His presence and He will receive honor and praise from the mouths of every person on the planet.  The glory of Jesus will be our greatest joy as we worship His holy name.  No matter how proud the people of the earth may become in our day; the Day of the Lord is coming where every knee will bow and every tongue will sing praise and worship to the King of kings and Lord of lords.  We must live in light of that Day today.

Isaiah 54:1-17

Hope is a wonderful blessing from God, without which we would be vulnerable to all kinds of destructive tendencies in our lives.  Today’s society is marked by depression, anger, fear, anxiety and self-righteousness, in large part, because of the sense of hopelessness that prevails in our culture.  Isaiah writes to a people who are about to be taken into captivity because of their sin.  God knows that they will feel rejected, threatened and hopeless so He reveals His future plans for the nation in order to give them hope in the midst of the coming trial.  Hope is the expectation of good based upon the promises of God.  Many times when our lives are marked by the sins mentioned above it is because we have forgotten or failed to focus upon the promises of God’s Word. THE PROMISE OF GOD: From the very first day that God revealed His plan for the nation of Israel, He promised numerous descendants.  God chose Abraham, not because he was more righteous than any of the other people of his

1 Timothy 1:3-7

As I urged you when I was going to Macedonia, remain at Ephesus so that you may charge certain persons not   to teach any different doctrine,   nor   to devote themselves to myths and endless   genealogies, which promote   speculations rather than the stewardship from God that is by faith.    The aim of our charge is love   that issues from a pure heart and   a good conscience and   a sincere faith.    Certain persons, by   swerving from these, have wandered away into   vain discussion, desiring to be teachers of the law,   without understanding either what they are saying or the things about which they make confident assertions.   There will always be false teachers that come into the church attempting to distract people from the truth and destroy people’s faith.  When this happens, it is the job of spiritually mature leaders to confront these false teachers and correct their teachings.  However, it is important that this correction be accomplished with the right motives and methods.

1 Timothy 2:11-15

Let a woman learn quietly   with all submissiveness.    I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.    For Adam was formed first,   then Eve;   and Adam was not deceived, but   the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.    Yet she will be saved through   childbearing—if they continue in   faith and love and holiness, with self-control. There is certainly controversy and confusion about this passage in many churches today.  The idea of a distinction between men and women and their roles in the family and church certainly goes against the flow of many cultures around the world.  Some would argue that the literal and plain teaching of this passage is no longer applicable to today’s culture.  However, it is always dangerous to discard biblical teaching or try to interpret Scripture based on the cultures in which we live.  Certainly, the Spirit who inspired this text was aware of the many changes that would occur in future cul
