From the Preacher's Desk

The Old Testament things which are written aforetime, is for our learning, which is penned in Rom 15: 4, which through patience and comfort of the scriptures, we might have hope. Therefore, Jeremiah penned, Chapter 26: 2-3, “Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD’s house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’s house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word: If so they will hearken {listen} and turn every man from his evil way{repent}, that I may repent me of the evil, which I purpose to do unto them because of the evil of their doings.”
Without the knowledge, understanding and wisdom of the Old Testament, it is impossible to recognize God, Jesus nor the New Testament, in the Bible, when we live in sin and practice evil. The Great Agape Love of our Heavenly Father, towards His children, to be taught, obey, stop sinning, or be punished, is for the sole purpose of helping the human creation to get to where He is forever, which is heaven.
