Isaiah 58:13,14 - Matthew Henry Commentary

Matthew Henry’s commentary on Isaiah 58:13,14

I make no secret of being “Sabbatarian”. I don’t attempt to cram it down the throats of others. But I am not ashamed of the Word of God, make no excuses for it and joyfully proclaim it gladly.

Isaiah 58 to me is one of the most intriguing texts in all the Bible. It clearly proclaims the heart of God and His will for His children on how we go about loving God and loving our neighbor as ourselves. He shares with us our exercise… Continue

Smile - a poem

Smile:

Smile still in dim of day as proof that not a mound on high can capture your joy away;

When skys look troublesome to your sight, remember the guise of a deceitful plight, because hidden schemes are more distructive;

Deliver your steps unto the path a’straight, for they’ll maintain a way your rescue; whereas phony paths shall display only to foreshow you a’baffle;

And pardon the patron who fails to pray; award him your blessings in response of treason,… Continue

HEART TROUBLES

HEART TROUBLES

(John 14:1)

“Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.”

We are not surprised that the apostles were troubled. After all, Jesus had announces that one of them was a traitor, and then He warned Peter that he was going to deny his Lord three times, self-confident. Peter was certain that he could not only follow his Lord, but even die with Him and for Him. Alas, Peter did not know his own heart, nor do we really know our hearts,… Continue

BLESSING OF GRACE

BLESSING OF GRACE

(Colossians 4:6)

“Let your speech be always with Grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”

Never underestimate the power of speech. A judge says a few words, and a men’s life is saved or condemned. A doctor speaks a few words, and patient either rejoices ecstatically or gives up in despair. Whether the communication is oral or written, there is great power in words.

The power of speech is a gift from God, and it must be… Continue

THE UNDEVOURABLE....THIS IS GOOD...

Be Numbered Among The Undevourable

1 Peter 5:8

8Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

The devil cannot just walk right up to you and rob you of your health, peace or family. He cannot just come into your life to enforce disease and destruction.

If the devil can do that, then he does not have to walk about “seeking whom he may devour”. He only has to walk straight up… Continue

Dr. King said, "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity."

As news traveled around the world that a major earthquake had struck Haiti, so many of us bowed our heads in sorrow. There is no appropriate way to measure its impact on that already-impoverished country. We can only watch in horror as emergency teams pull bodies from destroyed buildings and hope against hope that the rescued victims are alive. Our union, the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME), has many members with family, friends and neighbors in Haiti who… Continue
