“The Son of Man hath power on earth to forgive sins.” Matthew 9:6

by

Behold one of the great Physician’s mightiest arts: he has power to forgive sin! While here he lived below, before the ransom had been paid, before the blood had been literally sprinkled on the mercy-seat, he had power to forgive sin. Hath he not power to do it now that he hath died? What power must dwell in him who to the utmost farthing has faithfully discharged the debts of his people! He has boundless power now that he has finished transgression and made an end of sin. If ye doubt it, see him rising from the dead! behold him in …

Two Solemn Reminders

by

1 Kings 21:1–29 21 And it came to pass after these things that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard which was in Jezreel, next to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria. 2 So Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, “Give me your vineyard, that I may have it for a vegetable garden, because it is near, next to my house; and for it I will give you a vineyard better than it. Or, if it seems good to you, I will give you its worth in money.” 3 But Naboth said to Ahab, “The Lord forbid that I should give …

“He appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils.” Mark 16:9

by

Mary of Magdala was the victim of a fearful evil. She was possessed by not one devil only, but seven. These dreadful inmates caused much pain and pollution to the poor frame in which they had found a lodging. Hers was a hopeless, horrible case. She could not help herself, neither could any human succour avail. But Jesus passed that way, and unsought, and probably even resisted by the poor demoniac, he uttered the word of power, and Mary of Magdala became a trophy of the healing power of Jesus. All the seven demons left her, left her never to …

Fearless

by

“…then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.” -Matthew 26:56 Grown men are only able to act as though they are not afraid. It has been said that courage is managing your fear. In the movies, when the brave, leading man is close to danger, he appears as though nothing can move him. However, fear can bring out some rather unpredictable behavior, even among those who are seemingly fearless. If you care in any way about your welfare and safety, you will be fearful at some point in your life. Fear, at times, can be a good thing. It is …

The Unredeemable Man

by

Pete Garcia In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The Bible then walks through the rest of the creation process rather briefly according to Genesis 1-2. The pinnacle of God’s work was man, for he was created in His image. We are not told how long Adam and Eve lived in the Garden of Eden before their fall, but let us assume for the sake of argument that is a brief period. I understand “brief” can be a rather relative or subjective term, so let’s just say that it is more than a day and less than …

Come Out

by

1 Kings 19:10-18 10 And he said, I have been very jealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away. 11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord. And, behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and brake in pieces the rocks before the Lord; but the Lord was not in the wind: …

Press On

by

Philippians 3:13-14 13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. The Lord desires us to go on. Sometimes going on means loneliness in going on where others cannot go with us. That means a price is bound up with obedience. It may mean a big break, a big change. It is the challenge of whether we are adjustable before the …

95 Separating the Holy from The Common

by

It may seem to the casual, or uninterested reader of Scripture that the minute details of this Temple are of little interest. Some may even say as they do with the various chronologies in the Bible that they are unnecessary and without any spiritual importance. However, God says to us through King David that His Word is of supreme importance. Psalm 138:2-3 2I will worship toward thy holy temple, And give thanks unto thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: For thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name. 3In the day that I called thou answeredst me …

Learning from Abraham about the Life of Faith  by John F. Walvoord

by

Hebrews 11 11 Now faith is being sure of what we hope for, being convinced of what we do not see. 2 For by it the people of old received God’s commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the worlds were set in order at God’s command, so that the visible has its origin in the invisible. 4 By faith Abel offered God a greater sacrifice than Cain, and through his faith he was commended as righteous, because God commended him for his offerings. And through his faith he still speaks, though he is dead. 5 By faith Enoch was …

When the Darkness Hits

by

1 Kings 19:1-9 19 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and withal how he had slain all the prophets with the sword. 2 Then Jezebel sent a messenger unto Elijah, saying, So let the gods do to me, and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to morrow about this time. 3 And when he saw that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beersheba, which belongeth to Judah, and left his servant there. 4 But he himself went a day’s journey into the wilderness, …
