The Inner Room- Emotions in the Bible
Episode 397 - Is God delaying and you are wondering why?
Wis 1:13-15; 2:23-24 God did not make death, nor does he rejoice in the destruction of the living. For he fashioned all things that they might have being; But by the envy of the devil, death entered the world, and they who belong to his company experience it. Psalm 30:2, 4, 5-6, 11, 12, 13 I will praise you, Lord, for you have rescued me. O LORD, you brought me up from the netherworld; You changed my mourning into dancing; 2 Cor 8:7, 9, 13-15 our Lord Jesus Christ, that though he was rich, for your sake he became p...

A time to be silent, a time to speak. Who do you say that I am? ECCL 3:1-11 There is an appointed time for everything, and a time for every thing under the heavens. A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to uproot the plant. A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to tear down, and a time to build. A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance. A time to scatter stones, and a time...

Where do we find meaning for life when everything is vanity under the sun?
Fill us at daybreak with your kindness, that we may shout for joy and gladness all our days. ECCL 1:2-11 Vanity of vanities, says Qoheleth, vanity of vanities! All things are vanity! What profit has man from all the labor which he toils at under the sun? One generation passes and another comes, but the world forever stays. The sun rises and the sun goes down; then it presses on to the place where it rises. Blowing now toward the south, then toward the north, the wind turns again and again, resuming its rounds. All rivers go to the sea, ...

Learn to live in the power of God’s Word. Take nothing for the journey.
God is our shield and refuge. PRV 30:5-9 Every word of God is tested; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. Add nothing to his words, lest he reprove you, and you will be exposed as a deceiver. Two things I ask of you, deny them not to me before I die: Put falsehood and lying far from me, give me neither poverty nor riches; provide me only with the food I need; Lest, being full, I deny you, saying, “Who is the LORD?” Or, being in want, I steal, and profane the name of my God...

Are you guided to goodness or led astray your by ego?
Jesus invites us to be part of his family PRV 21:1-6, 10-13 Like a stream is the king’s heart in the hand of the LORD; wherever it pleases him, he directs it. All the ways of a man may be right in his own eyes, but it is the LORD who proves hearts. To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice. Haughty eyes and a proud heart– the tillage of the wicked is sin. The plans of the diligent are sure of profit, but all rash haste leads certainly to poverty. Whoever make...

If there is no resurrection of the dead, then neither has Christ been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, then empty too is our preaching; empty, too, your faith.
