The Kings II 23 – Covenant Commitment
The degree to which Josiah committed himself to the word that he heard was incredible. Remarkable to the extent that he stood out among the kings of Israel and Judah. What’s of great interest is that Josiah was already a godly king before he heard the book of the covenant read to him. He had […]

We love this couple. By we, I mean Authrine and I. We love this couple. They are so beautiful together. They are treasures that are now not so hidden and we have the blessed opportunity to uncover more of the riches within them as we engage in conversation. It’s only fair that we divulge ourselves […]

The 26 year old monarch had established himself as a refreshingly godly kind of King. For the majority of his conscious life he ruled the kingdom of Judah and endeavoured to do so in a way like David the standard of kings. So it was understandable that he would have a concern for the temple […]

Back in the day, I loved the commentary styles of the likes of David Coleman, Brian Moore, Barry Davies and John Motson.

If I had a penny for every time I have been informed how we live in a microwave society looking for the quick fix, I would be rich enough to buy quite a number of microwaves. I am sure there’s a degree of truth to it, but it’s advanced as though things were so much […]

Judah never had a king like Hezekiah. His reign represented a high point in the age of the monarchy in the southern kingdom. They had not had it so good before and they would not have it that good again. When he was struck ill with a sickness that should have lead to his death, […]

Losing is a good reason to believe you’re a loser. Losing as a habit can set up a condition that expects it every time out. This is not always the case. There are opportunities for patterns of losing to be the prelude to victory. That requires a determination to approach the next game better equipped […]

The Assyrian challenge had a troubling effect on the people of Judah. Their threats were backed up by a record of their victories that could not be denied. They came with their words set to mock Yahweh and intimidate and humiliate the people. Hezekiah’s initial response was to get the voice of the Lord on […]
