THE CROSS: SYMBOL OF FORGIVENESS
In dying on the cross, Jesus took our place and paid the price we owed for sin Matthew 20:27-28 (KJV) 27 And whosoever will be chief among you, let him be your servant: 28 Even as the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many. Have you ever wondered why God didn’t decide to save us without having His only Son die the gruesome death of crucifixion? Surely, you think, the Lord could do anything, right? Yes, He can do anything, but He cannot violate His own …
Faith and Victory
Reflections Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dies no more; death has no more dominion over him. For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he lives, he lives unto God. Likewise reckon you also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord. Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that you should obey it in the lusts thereof. (Rom. 6:9-12) The basis for all faith, and thus, all victory, is the finished work of Jesus Christ. It is finished. There is nothing …
World War IV: Conclusion
Pete Garcia We don’t think of time as a weapon; it absolutely can be. For example, a siege on the town counts on time by waiting out its inhabitants so that they run out of resources and surrender. Knowing the future could also be a very powerful weapon. Although we as finite beings can’t know the future, we serve a God who does. He exists outside of time and space, thus sees the end from the beginning just as clearly as He sees everything in between. He reserves this right for Himself alone, and even our chief adversary, Satan cannot …
“Whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting” Micah 5:2
The Lord Jesus had goings forth for his people as their representative before the throne, long before they appeared upon the stage of time. It was “from everlasting” that he signed the compact with his Father, that he would pay blood for blood, suffering for suffering, agony for agony, and death for death, in the behalf of his people; it was “from everlasting” that he gave himself up without a murmuring word. That from the crown of his head to the sole of his foot he might sweat great drops of blood, that he might be spit upon, pierced, mocked, …
THE CROSS: SYMBOL OF SUPREME LOVE
When we consider all that Jesus endured on the cross for our sake, we realize that no greater love exists. John 10:18 (KJV) 18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down of myself. I have power to lay it down, and I have power to take it again. This commandment have I received of my Father. Many people wear a cross because it symbolizes the Christian faith. But few fully grasp the depth of love that it represents. The cross stands for what is arguably history’s most painful method of execution. Crucifixion usually began with two …
Death and Resurrection
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him. (Rom. 6:8) Jesus Christ accomplished a complete and final redemption through His death and resurrection. There are no victories left to win. There is no forgiving left to do. There is no greater defeat to be brought to Satan. But there is one thing left to do: Believe. We must believe – which means to fully embrace and surrender to Jesus Christ. The primary way in which I believe that, “It is finished,” is by losing my life for Jesus’ sake – by picking …
Parable Of The Sower By Grant Phillips
The Parable of the Sower is found in Matthew 13:3-23; Mark 4:1-20 and Luke 8:4-15. I will be using the Matthew account. At this point in our Lord’s ministry He began speaking to the people in parables. Have you ever wondered why? The disciples did. At first He was speaking plainly, and then all of a sudden He starts speaking in parables. Beginning at verse ten we read, “And the disciples came and said to Him, “Why do You speak to them in parables?” Jesus responded by saying, “… To you it has been granted to know the mysteries of …
OVERCOMING HABITUAL SIN
Titus 2:11-14 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. Sin does not play favorites. It works its way into everyone’s life without regard to age, race, or economic status. Regardless …

Ahmad Jibril, leader of the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine-General Command, told Hezbollah’s Al-Mayadeen TV on February 17 that his group wants “to see the revolutionary fighters from …
“The wrath to come.” Matthew 3:7
It is pleasant to pass over a country after a storm has spent itself; to smell the freshness of the herbs after the rain has passed away, and to note the drops while they glisten like purest diamonds in the sunlight. That is the position of a Christian. He is going through a land where the storm has spent itself upon his Saviour’s head, and if there be a few drops of sorrow falling, they distil from clouds of mercy, and Jesus cheers him by the assurance that they are not for his destruction. But how terrible is it to …
