Today’s Weeping Prophets: A Fragrance of Life and a Fragrance of Death
The prophet Jeremiah, often referred to as the "Weeping Prophet," by American Evangelical standards, was an utter evangelistic failure. Over the course of his ancient, storied and God-honoring ministry he saw a total of two of his countrymen repent of their sin against God--Baruch (his assistant and scribe) and Ebed-Melech (an Ethiopian eunuch and servant in the palace of King … [Read more...]
