Day 308: Jeremiah 36-37; Philemon
by Jonathan Merki on November 3rd, 2023
Placide Cappeau wrote a Christmas Carol I dearly love and I am glad that John Sullivan Dwight took the time to translate it. Just the other day, I was referencing the majestic music (which makes the song unsingable as a congregation. My follow-up comment was how delighted I am that the guitar-driven song makes it singable. It's the best of both worlds! Among the great truths are these two couplets... Read More

Day 307: Jeremiah 33-35; Titus 3
by Jonathan Merki on November 2nd, 2023
When I came to my computer this morning, I had no internet. I am glad that though my electronics did not function, I can still open the pages of God's Word. What was affectionately called 'God's phone number' in my teen years, 333, jumped out at me: "Call unto me and I will answer thee and shew thee great and mighty things thou knowest not." Yes, we learned Jeremiah 33:3 in the good old King James... Read More

Day 306: Jeremiah 31-32; Titus 2
by Jonathan Merki on November 1st, 2023
"He gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to cleanse for himself a people for his own possession, eager to do good works." (Titus 2:14, CSB)The cost of God's writing the law on our hearts, forgiving our transgressions and remembering our sins against us no more (Jeremiah 31:31-34) is spelled out: "He gave himself for us to redeem us..." There is no measure for redeeming love. T... Read More

Jacob’s leader will be one of them;his ruler will issue from him.I will invite him to me, and he will approach me,for who would otherwise risk his life to approach me?This is the Lord’s declaration. (Jeremiah 30:21, CSB)Listen for God's promises in the midst of challenges, and depend on Him! We know about God's plans for us (29:11-14), and, here, we begin to understand the depth of the blessing. O... Read More

Day 304: Jeremiah 27-28; 2 Timothy 4
by Jonathan Merki on October 30th, 2023
"Preach the Word" (2 Timothy 4:2). When Hananiah confronted Jeremiah rather dramatically (Jeremiah 28), declaring Jeremiah's prophecy false, he thought he was opposing a human being. What he learned was terminal...to challenge the messenger in his delivery was to challenge the Message Giver. The One Who has the last word is the One Who is the Word and has spoken the Word. The world is full of Hana... Read More

Day 303: Jeremiah 25-26; 2 Timothy 3
by Jonathan Merki on October 29th, 2023
Was Paul describing this moment in history 2000 years ago? "For people will be lovers of self, lovers of money, boastful, proud, demeaning, disobedient to parents, ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, without love for what is good, traitors, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, holding to the form of godliness but d...
