OTI-39B 970205WE THE BIBLE: ITS CHARACTER May I impress upon your heart that the book you hold in your hands is unlike any other in the Universe? And with that truth deeply upon our hearts, in the days ahead, shouldn’t we treat it differently, read it diligently, wait before it expectantly and from it learn to […]
Malachi
OTI-39A 970129WE Last words are very important. Christ’s last words contained His legacy for us, His Body. In Malachi we find the last words from God in the Old Testament. His last words are words of His Love! Our God is a God of LOVE. He has shown His love since He came on a […]
Zechariah
OTI-38 970122WE The second of the final three prophets of the Old Testament is Zechariah. His name means “God remembers”.

Nahum
OTI-34 961211WE There is one inescapable fact of the Universe: the wrath of God may not be evaded. It is so great that it hunted down and sacrificed no less than the Son of God, Christ Jesus! And if God spared not His Son, what will happen to the rebels at the Day of Judgment? […]
Micah
OTI-33 961204WE The most amazing event surrounding Micah is barely (maybe alluded to in 4:11-13) even mentioned in this little book. It is the astounding way God revealed Himself in revival after the faithful preaching of Micah. Perhaps the sum of his preaching would be watch, wait and win (7:7-8)! After 16 to 25 years of […]
Jonah
OTI-32 961120WE Our Merciful God Chastening: jonah 1 HE IS A GOD WHO SEEKS (1:1-2A) Our Lord God Almighty is such a God of Mercy and Grace!
