The Road Home Through Ruth

03/08/22 • 24 min

We've made it to the finish line of Ruth. It was the darkest days of the Judges, and to be honest, our current days are looking just as dark, maybe even as dark as the days of Noah. But not to worry, God already knows what the future holds.

We have journeyed with Naomi's family from, famine, death, tough travels, bitterness, empty handedness, kindness from strangers, hope, redemption, and a future! In the geneology of Jesus, God brings a great light through the birth of little Obed. Jesus our Kinsman Redeemer is at the end of the line of this list of "Movie Credits" at the end of the Book.

The last chapter of our lives is still being written. Even if these days look dark, even if these days look as dark as the Day's of Noah, there is still hope. There is Hope in Jesus. Our Redeemer lives. So don't give up. Keep looking up, keep looking at the finish line. There is still work for us to do here and we have hope in our hearts for the eternal future with our Fahter, with Jeus Christ in Heaven.

My hope is that you have fallen in love with His Word and more in love with Him through this Study through Ruth and dig deeper into the love letters. May you come to know your God more intimately before we meet Him soon, face to face.

Some may call this preaching to the Choir, but we are commanded, it's not a request, to comfort one another through the Word of God, because the "Choir" needs encouragement to finish strong in these last days. Who can mind the journey, when the road leads Home!

Bought With A Price

We heard Ruth humbled herself and laid at the feet of Boaz last week. Have you spent time at the feet of Jesus this week and given Him your troubles? Have you received peace of heart as you sit and wait until He takes care of all that concerns you? God’s timing is not always our time line, but make no mistake He will take care of you in your time of need. That care may not look like what you want, but He knows best and all things do work out for our good, and His glory.

When we come to know Jesus as our Redeemer, we look forward to the Hope of being with the lover of our souls forever, but there is still work to do in the here and now that we have the privilege of being a part of. God doesn’t need us, but gives us the honor of sharing Him with others so that we can be a part of the Covenant promise that He has made. He wants all people to be saved from an eternity without Him and to spend it in HIs presence, but He also gives hearts to option to choose Him or their own way. We know how that turned out in the Garden of Eden.

The Story of Romance and Redemption continue with chapter 4

Are You Prepared?

Are you Prepared?

Ephesians Intro

Much talk of being prepared for the ugly times ahead that many are predicting and encouraging you to be prepared for the worst but hope for the best.

Much talk about the loss of strength and power of the United States but with all that talk, I don’t hear much talk about being spiritually prepared for what is coming at the end of this Church Age.

Barna Group Statistics claimed that:

91% of Adult Believers do not have a Biblical World View.
98% Percent of Millilenial Believers do not have a Biblical World View.

As shocking and appalling as that is, it is not a surprise to me for the Bible plainly tells us that there will be a falling away of believers from the truth of God’s word, and turning away from God.

When I was young and learning the Word and then sharing with others I was always reminded about the saying that the Truth of the scriptures is only one generation away from being lost forever.

With statistics like this, it looks like we are very close to another prophecy, a forth telling of God’s word that may soon come to light.

In this Church Age we are to defend the faith and keep the scriptures pure and yet if we look around we see more opinions than doctrines. For quite some time, words have been changed to confuse listeners and attacks on absolute truth have made way fro circular logic.

Such Non-conclusionists give us pretty firm absolute comments when their aim is to convince others that they are not irrational in their belief of differentiating knowledge from belief and then question belief to deny religious truth. For example Nihalists that “believe” that all values are baseless and reject the general, fundamental aspects of human existence, such as “objective truth” which is just another example of circular non-logic. They say it is not provable to the intellectual theist, only interpretive. Which makes me wonder how they can believe that statement since they can’t believe in anything. So, a ”religious” fear, would overwhelm their so called “rational thought”, with their truth being science, technology and evolution.

In the end with these “beliefs” they are only “closer to their truth” with no real conclusion as the circular logic goes round and round. Sure makes for great intellectual conversations, but we were warned that these last days that the longer the King is gone, the worse it will be and the endless intellectual conversations, and quest for intellectual interpretiveness, will not bring them to the the knowledge of the Truth.

God has clearly said to take hold of the truth, but where are we to find it in a world where the meaning of words are being changed to confuse and divide. How are we to gather a Literal, foundation of the truth if Literalism now defines literal as a bad word.

It wouldn’t be so bad if these things were going on outside of the church because we wouldn’t expect unbelievers to act according to the scriptures, but it goes deep into the heart of the churches which is reflected in the statistics we heard earlier. Another saying from days past that has swirled about is

“Don’t preach to the Choir”

God is also clear when He says, judgement begins at the House of God, perhaps it’s time to preach to the choir once more.

Now that we are finished with the Book of Ruth, it might be time for a “spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down,” Oh wait no, that’s from a fairytale. Time for some doctrine and definitions along with application in the arena of life.

Gather your notebook, and pen or pencil, and listen in as we begin with some background and History of the culture. Let’s grab hold of the truth together as we dig into the Book of Ephesians.
