Word of Encouragement
Up until this point, everyone had been discouraging Paul from going to Jerusalem. And it makes sense. Why should he go, just to get arrested? Isn't he a better witness free rather than imprisoned? Somehow,…

Amaziah and his Half-Hearted Service
2 Chronicles 25 sheds light on 2 Kings 14's account of King Amaziah. He did what was right, but not whole-heartedly (2 Chron. 25:2). What caused him to worship the captured gods of Edom? They certainly…

Jehu the Avenger
Jehu could've been the hero of an action movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Lots of violent justice, memorable one-liners, and even a goofy plot twist where he tricks the worshippers of Baal into gathering…

King Asa's last mile collapse
In a marathon, it's not just about how you start, it's about how you finish. Asa's finish was pretty sad. He started out well, crying out to God for deliverance, purging the land of idols. What caused…

Nehemiah's prayer part 1
First Nehemiah reminds himself who God is: The Lord God of Heaven, great and awesome, who keeps His promises. Why is this important? God doesn't need a reminder, and flattery doesn't move Him. Nehemiah…
