God Will Not Abandon His People
Micah paints a gloomy picture of the society in his day: the rulers demanded gifts, the judges accepted bribes, and the powerful dictated what they desired. On top of that he observed a blatant disrespect for God, the family unity, and for the dignity of life and living. He warned the people of their terrible fate and yet, right in the middle of gloom and doom he spoke a word of encouragement: God will not abandon His people. Although God did turn His back, He never completely abandoned the people in Micah’s day. How much more us if we continue to trust Him and keep our eyes fixed on Him?! (if we like Daniel refuse to lessen our ways with God.) VF-2345 Micah 7:1-13 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

In the face of coming judgment, God still has his hand on His chosen ones, and He is in control. Will you trust Him?

Although the picture that Micah paints is one of doom and calamity, we should take comfort in the knowledge that God has a plan for the future, and heed Micah’s warning by putting away our false worship and turning back to God while we’re still living in a dispensation of God's forgiveness, mercy and grace.

A lot of churches today present the message of “special sinners” or a “special way of salvation” and neither one of those is biblical. None of us are born to desire God, and none of us have “special sins.” We’re all born with a dark heart. We’re all sinners in need of salvation. We cannot save ourselves, and we must recognize that salvation doesn’t come by doing good deeds, or hearing words from a minister that make us “feel good.” It comes by hearing the words of faith.

Unfolding the History of Judaism
There is a lot of ignorance in academia regarding the terms “Israelites,” “Hebrews,” and “Jews.” Judaism did not exist until after the return from captivity, and God's people did not always have the same religious practices. Who is who, and who the land of Israel belongs to, is more complicated than we might think. VF-2416 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

In Meekness, Teach the Truth Rooted in Christ

In Meekness, Teach the Truth Rooted in Christ
What will become of the children of God if the church is not instructing them in the Bible? A minister is supposed to teach and correct the people in meekness. That is not weak or as a pushover, but in full strength and paradoxically gentle. By chastening those who resist and are opposed to the gospel, proper teaching can bring about repentance and free them from the snare of the devil to the knowledge of the truth rooted in Christ.

The Pathway to Repentance

The Pathway to Repentance
We have all sinned, but some of us have become desensitized to sin and its consequences. The remedy is repentance, a changing of the mind from our way to God’s way. We cannot truly change our mind and feel godly sorrow unless we come under the conviction of the Holy Spirit. It is a change that can only come from the inside.
