(a) One of the gods of Sepharvaim, imported by the Assyrian settlers from Samaria; the other is Anamelech. The books of Kings (2 Kings 17:31) narrate that they burned their children as a sacrifice to this deity and also to another one they called Anamelech.

(b) Middle name of one of the sons of Sennacherib, king of Assyria. The secular chronicles speak of the murder of his father, but did not mention his name as one of the murderers, whom the Bible cites together with that of his brother Zarezer (2 Kings 19:37; Is. 37: 38). This happened while Sennacherib was worshiping his god in the temple of Nisroch.

Oswald Chambers

Oswald Chambers

What God’s Love Can’t Do

Billy Graham

God cannot forgive the unrepentant sinner. The human race is called on throughout the Bible to repent of sin and return to God. This love of God can be entirely rejected. God will not force Himself upon any man against his will.

Pure and Powerful

Zig Ziglar

Too often, we value all received messages equally. God’s Word, though, is more precious and valuable than any other message sent to us. The psalmist describes God’s message as “pure words” that are like silver processed “seven times” in the furnace.

The Secret of Contentment

Zig Ziglar

Somewhere along the way, Paul learned the secret of contentment. He realized that possessions, fame, beauty, and other earthly things can be pleasant for a while, but they can never produce genuine contentment. That comes from the inside.
