“The days are coming,” declares the Lord, “when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.

This is what the Lord says: “Let not the wise boast of their wisdom or the strong boast of their strength or the rich boast of their riches, but let the one who boasts boast about this: that they have the understanding to know me, that I am the Lord, who exercises kindness, justice and righteousness on earth, for in these I delight,” declares the Lord. Jeremiah 9:23-24 (NIV) The coronavirus pandemic has, if nothing else, revealed to us the fragility of lif...

The word of the Lord came to me: “What do you see, Jeremiah?” “I see the branch of an almond tree,” I replied. The Lord said to me, “You have seen correctly, for I am watching to see that my word is fulfilled.” Jeremiah 1:11-12 (NIV) The prophet Jeremiah bore the heavy burden of delivering messages from Heaven to the kings, priests, and people of Israel about the pending judgment for their sin, the destruction of Jerusalem for her idolatry, and coming captivity of the Jewish peopl...

You may have learned in school that about 75 percent of the Earth’s surface is water. Looking at a world map confirms it, but did you know that of all the water on Earth, less than 2.5 percent is fresh? More than 97 percent of the Earth’s water is saltwater found in oceans and seas.
