Jeremiah (Part One)

Jeremiah is often regarded as the weeping prophet for his lament regarding the the Hebrew nation, but his words seem as applicable to the modern Christian living in America as they were when they were penned over two millennia ago. The prophet speaks of two errors of the Hebrew people: (1) forsaking God and (2) making broken cisterns. When we forsake the Lord, we find that anything else we might pursue will prove to be little more than a broken cistern incapable of holding the spiritual water God's people so desperately need.
