    “The midwives however, feared God and did not do what the king of Egypt told them to do; they let the boys live.” (Exodus 1:17).

    In a land ruled by a king whose egomaniacal propensities stood undenied and unchallenged; a realm where the weak were exploited and dissenters eliminated, there lived women who believed themselves accountable to a higher authority than Pharaoh.  Were it not for their c...

    “I am the Lord your God who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the land of slavery. You shall have no other gods before me.” (Exodus 20:2,3).

    In Eden, Mankind was specified in terms of his relation to the Creator.  Since the world environment is now compromised through sin, humanity can still experience its creator God, but only within a relationship of salvation.  Men and women must need access the infinite...

    “O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry never be laid to rest.” (Job 16:18).

    From the mouth of one man the cry of the world is heard. If a boy lives till he is a man, he will at some point, in one form or another, have learned to sing this the chorus of the human race.  Deeds are done in the earth, men and women are victims of such hideous and...

    “Men at ease have contempt for misfortune . . .” (Job 12:5)

    The truth of this maxim is well documented.  Youth, under the protective sponsorship of parents and elders, feel bullet-proof and hazard everything for good times. People living in developed lands within safety nets of security and health benefits, frequently suppose t...

    “Know this: God has even forgotten some of your sin.” (Job 11:6).

    So says Zophar, one of Job’s friends. He is sure he knows the secret of Job’s suffering: Job is a man so plenteous in sin that even God can’t keep track of it all. He thinks that the mystery of Job’s ill-fortune is no mystery at all; Job is as guilty as can be—even if...

    "Then he looked for a crop of good grapes, but it yielded only bad fruit." (Isaiah 5:2).

    Men and women, especially those in agricultural or horticultural tasks, are well-placed to understand something of what God thinks and feels as regards his relationship to human beings. Farmers take care in a range of actions with regard to their plants and crops. Soil...

    “Oh . . . . that God would be willing to crush me, to let loose his hand and cut me off! Then I would still have this consolation . . . . that I had not denied the words of the Holy One.” (Job 6:8-10).

    When I was just a boy, my leg was run over by a horse-drawn wagon.  Nothing was broken, and I soon got over it. But at the time, the world was made up of my suffering alone.  It would not have made any difference to me if someone had been shot right beside me. My pain...

    In all their distress he too was distressed

    "In all their distress he too was distressed, and the angel of his presence saved them" (Isaiah 63:9).

    This verse recounts Israel's wilderness sojourn; a lifetime of trial and duress, danger and anxiety mingled with bursts of joy and hope--a paradigm of human experience...

    "There is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28).

    How would this verse read if Paul was writing now, in the twenty-first century?  Like this, perhaps?  'There is neither white nor black, rich nor poor, gay nor straight, Liberal or Conservative, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.'   How do you suggest Paul would writ...

    “Can a mortal be more righteous than God? Can a man be more pure than his maker?” (Job 4:17).

    June 22, 2016

    Ron Allen

    Eliphaz' double-barrelled question is rhetorical; he expects the answer to be an emphatic negative. God is ever righteous, and our righteousness and purity is always a poor relation to the absolute virtue of divinity. Our frequent outrage at evil and inequity stands on...
