Let's get underway with our unveiling of Lot! In order to save space, I will not put the bulk of the text of the story of Lot but simply reference where it's found. Today we will be looking at the first major story in which Lot is a main feature: that is where Lot and... Continue Reading →
The Years of the Right Hand
"And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High."Psalms 77:10 I originally was going to write a short devotional, but upon examining the text, this is probably more of an explanation of what it might mean as it's not readily apparent what the...

Psalms 80:15
"And the vineyard which thy right hand hath planted," The reference to Israel as a vine continues. They are like a vineyard, planted by the right hand of the Lord. The right hand is often used throughout the Old Testament as a reference to power. So in simplified form: "And the vineyard which through your... Continue Reading →

It is to this verse amongst others that certain churches will point to as 'proof' of their God-appointed right to mandate or end laws for people to observe as well as the supposed power of their church or priest to 'forgive' (sorry,...

Psalms 80:12-13
"Why hast thou then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her? The boar out of the wood doth waste it, and the wild beast of the field doth devour it."
