Job 1:9 “Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. Satan attacked Job’s motives, saying that Job was blameless and had integrity only because he had no reason to turn against God.

Job 1:1 In the land of Uz there lived a man whose name was Job. This man was blameless and upright; he feared God and shunned evil. As one reads the book of Job, one has information that the characters of the story do not. Job, the main character, lost all he had through no…
The Story of Job
Job 1:8 Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.” Job was an upright man who feared God. Yet God allowed him to suffer, not because he was guilty of…
I can do all this…

Isaiah 65:8
This is what the Lord says: “As when juice is still found in a cluster of grapes and people say, ‘Don’t destroy it, there is still a blessing in it,’ so will I do in behalf of my servants;I will not destroy them all. Despite the unholy rebellion and pride of some of the remnant,…
No Cowards in Heaven
One of my favorite songs in our songbooks is titled “No Tears in Heaven”. It’s an encouraging hymn about how in eternity there will be no more sadness. It is based, in part, on scriptures from the book of Revelation like Revelation 7:17 which tells us For the Lamb at the center of the throne…
