MY YOKE IS EASY

“Come unto Me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.  Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.  For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.”   (Matthew 11:28-30)   I am writing this message today to those who are struggling under a weight of sin, guilt, temptation, hardship, or difficulty of any kind.   God’s Word holds the answers to all the questions that you have been asking.   You have been working hard to overcome your lesser nature but have only slipped further away from where you know you ought to be.   I have good news to share.   God sees your burden, and He wants to lift it from your shoulders.   The Lord is speaking to all of us who think that our own efforts and strength of will are sufficient to make us more like God.   He is addressing all of us who are weighted down with a heavy burden that is getting harder and harder...

GIVE YE THEM TO EAT

"And when the day began to wear away, then came the twelve, and said unto Him, Send the multitude away, that they may go into the towns and country round about, and lodge, and get victuals: for we are here in a desert place.  But He said unto them, Give ye them to eat."

THE TOWER OF BABEL

Man is a builder.   If you give a young child a set of blocks, they will end up stacking them one on top of the other to build a tower.   Mankind takes pleasure in his accomplishments and immense pride in the work of his hands and in his inventions.   This truth is at the heart of the story of the Tower of Babel.   As wise Solomon wrote, “Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.” (Ecclesiastes 7:29).   We find the Bible account of the Tower of Babel in Genesis 11:1-9.  The story takes place sometime after the Great Flood of Noah’s day.  At that time, the entire population of the earth spoke the same language.  As they grew in number, they journeyed out in search of a wider land to settle in, one that would accommodate their growing numbers.  That is when “…they found a plain in the land of Shinar; and they dwelt there.” (Genesis 11:2).   One of mankind’s early invention...
