Behind My Mask…..

by

Dr. Mike Murphy Cancer often brings with it many realities and emotions.  Realities we try our best to avoid so that we do not have to face them, and emotions we do everything we can not to have to feel them.  Those who battle with all that cancer can bring, often find they wear a mask.  A mask not to cover their fears and their pains, but a mask to hide what a true look into their face might show to others.  It is not in the reality we face, but the emotions that reality might bring to those in …

Getting Out of Step

by

Saul reminds us that humility is a key to receiving the fullness of God’s blessings and power.   1 SAMUEL 13:5-14 5 Now the Philistines assembled to fight with Israel, 30,000 chariots and 6,000 horsemen, and people like the sand which is on the seashore in abundance; and they came up and camped in Michmash, east of Beth-aven. 6 When the men of Israel saw that they were in a strait (for the people were hard-pressed), then the people hid themselves in caves, in thickets, in cliffs, in cellars, and in pits. 7 Also some of the Hebrews crossed the …

The apostle uses the perfect tense and says, “Who hath saved us.” Believers in Christ Jesus are saved. They are not looked upon as persons who are in a hopeful state, and may ultimately be saved, but they are already saved. Salvation is not a blessing to be enjoyed upon the dying bed, and to be sung of in a future state above, but a matter to be obtained, received, promised, and enjoyed now. The Christian is perfectly saved in God’s purpose; God has ordained him unto salvation, and that purpose is complete. He is saved also as to the …
