Jacob and Esau...brothers, opposites, believers, adversaries...anti-types? One brother in submission and one in apostasy.

Ephesians 4:11-12 And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; /For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Though not all formally educated or licensed, every follower of Christ Jesus has been commissioned to do a work. That work is to share His truths and to reveal His character to a fallen world; to spread the seeds of the gospel so that the rain of the Holy Spirit is able to grow new gospel messengers. Thoughts From A Vocal Layman is a collection of sermons and ideas written by one who is not licensed and ordained minister, but from one who was given a work to do upon her adoption into the family of God. Each person is a sermon, a testimony, and a mirror to show the face of the Lord and to declare His mighty power to change anyone from a sinner into saint. Some of us laymen are just more vocal.

Was salvation an afterthought? Who are God's chosen people? Is salvation for the gentiles just a New Testament idea? In the short Old Testament book of Ruth, the reader can see the beauty and all-encompassing range of God's plan for Salvation. Ruth, a Moabite gentile, finds grace and redemption in the one who created every living thing in the universe. Through her love, devotion and faithfulness to her mother-in-law, Naomi, and her belief in the God of heaven and earth, we see the other-centered love that originates from the Divine Godhead. The book of Ruth though short in length is long in spiritual lesson for today's Christian and shows each of us how badly the Lord wants every person on planet Earth to be saved. Salvation was no afterthought. The Lord has wanted every soul in His kingdom, right from the beginning. He has wanted every soul to be one of His chosen people. The Book of Ruth can show us that.

"The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing." ― Edmund Burke In these times when the sanctity of life is in peril, there must be raised voices for those who cannot advocate with voices for themselves. Little Miracles, a combination of science and theological belief on the side of pro-life in the abortion debate, offers medical facts about abortions, common arguments for pro-choice and the rebuttals for them and discussions on what constitutes life, person-hood and the humanity of the pre-born. As millions of lives are lost each year to abortion, is it not time to consider the ramifications of this heinous industry, not only in the loss of innocent lives, but in the depreciation of our very souls by allowing it to continue.

Brave, beautiful, humble, queenly and godly...all adjectives rightly used to describe Esther, but what about words such as symbolic, prophetic and typological? As is true of many books of the Bible, Esther is a historically true account and must be seen as literal and factual, but must also be read with spiritual eyes. the major and even minor players in the book of Esther represent persons beyond their own physical selves and the events that enfold within the ten chapters of this book represent events both prophetically fulfilled and those which are still to come. Within this short, Old testament book, the whole of the Great Controversy between God and Satan can be seen and the outcome anticipated.

Though simplistic in style and easy enough for even the youngest of children to understand, the Book of Jonah is an account of mercy, judgment, salvation and love that has intrigued philosophers and theologians for centuries. Within these pages is a verse by verse exploration of both the history of Jonah's journey and mission and of how the message is as vital and true for the believer today. The book of Jonah may sound like a wild, nearly unbelievable allegory but truth is often stranger than fiction and Jonah far is more than just another fish story.

Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3A little over two-thousand years ago, a young rabbi sat on a mountainside and began to teach. What He taught was like nothing the audience had ever heard before. Blessed were the poor, the mournful, the peacemakers? To the Israelites and gentiles who listened, the words flowed over them and by the power of the Holy Spirit, new hope in the love of a Heavenly Father was illuminated. Jesus, the very creator of all things, showed them what was needed to see the kingdom of God and the lessons are as meaningful and necessary today as they were centuries ago. The Beatitudes show a dark and sin-filled world what the Lord of heaven expects from His children and are a beacon to light the way for any human heart to see the heavenly kingdom, both here and at the second coming of Christ.
