Thru the Bible with Dr. J. Vernon McGee Nahum 3:7-19
We don’t have to look beyond our own community to see the suffering in this world. But God sees it, too—and He is doing something about it. When we say God is sovereign, it means these issues are safe in His hands. That’s the message we learn from the prophet Nahum. As we study the sins and destruction of Nineveh, we’ll realize even now how God is moving against evil in our world today.
Thru the Bible - Minute with McGee Dr. J. Vernon McGee
We Will Be Like Him
“Beloved … it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is.” Will you trust Him? If you are here today without Jesus Christ, you’re dead in trespasses and sins. He can cleanse you, and He can forgive you. He alone can bring you into conformity to His will. Oh, He may dig deep in your life, but He’s not doing it to hurt you. He’s doing it that He might “cause all things to work together for good for them that love God.”
Daily Promises
Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. (Titus 2:14)
Our redemption and future life is assured: for Jesus Christ, the Lamb, was stricken down for our sakes and so every spiritual blessing is even now granted us! Christ demanded Himself a people and so He duly paid for one! We are His people! We are His sheep! We are His workmanship! We who believe are assured our salvation for the winning of it lay in the hand of He who has already won it!
He Will Help You Through
Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me. — Psalm 40:13
Sometimes we just need to tell God exactly how we feel.

Scalawag Magazine - Abolition Week 2025: BORDERS, our fifth annual Abolition Week, considers the way the fascist state's reformation has enriched the carceral system—by widening the net cast to capture any forms of anti-state resistance, and subjecting a wider mass of people to systems of captivity.
"The lesson this teaches and which every Afro-American should ponder well, is that a Winchester rifle should have a place of honor in every black home, and it should be used for that protection which the law refuses to give."

C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (September 2nd)
"But Simon's wife's mother lay sick of a fever, and anon they tell Him of her." — Mark 1:30
Very interesting is this little peep into the house of the Apostolic Fisherman. We see at once that household joys and cares are no hindrance to the full exercise of ministry, nay, that since they furnish an opportunity for personally witnessing the Lord's gracious work upon one's own flesh and blood, they may even instruct the teacher better than any other earthly discipline. Papists and other sectaries may decry marriage, but true Christianity and household life agree well together. Peter's house was probably a poor fisherman's hut, but the Lord of Glory entered it, lodged in it, and wrought a miracle in it. Should our little book be read this morning in some very humble cottage, let this fact encourage the inmates to seek the company of King Jesus. God is oftener in little huts than in rich palaces. Jesus is looking round your room now, and is waiting to be gracious to you. Into Simon's house sickness had entered, fever in a deadly form had prostrated his mother-in-law, and as soon as Jesus came they told Him of the sad affliction, and He hastened to the patient's bed. Have you any sickness in the house this morning? You will find Jesus by far the best physician, go to Him at once and tell Him all about the matter. Immediately lay the case before Him. It concerns one of His people, and therefore will not be trivial to Him. Observe, that at once the Saviour restored the sick woman; none can heal as He does. We may not make sure that the Lord will at once remove all disease from those we love, but we may know that believing prayer for the sick is far more likely to be followed by restoration than anything else in the world; and where this avails not, we must meekly bow to His will by whom life and death are determined. The tender heart of Jesus waits to hear our griefs, let us pour them into His patient ear.
