“And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing” (1 Kings 18:43)
“And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing” (1 Kings 18:43) Elijah was not always answered immediately, and who are we to demand a prompt answer to our first asking?….He was convinced that sooner or later God would grant his request, yet he was persuaded he should “give Him no rest” (Isa. 62:7). Six times the servant returned with his report that there was no portent of rain, yet the prophet relaxed not his supplication. And let us not be faint-hearted when no immediate success attends our praying, but be importunate, exercising faith and patience until the …
SAY IT AIN’T SO MR. PRESIDENT: Trump’s “Peace Plan” For Israel Could Explain Severe Weather Outbreak
Today I awoke to extremely severe weather in my Home State of Michigan. As of this afternoon, more than 300,000 Metro Detroiters are without power. I’m sure that number will be much higher across the State once the storms have passed. Michigan is far from alone, as New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio are also enduring the severe weather outbreak. Now, I’m sure most would say, it’s Spring and with Spring comes severe storms. Normally, you’d probably be right, but while the severe weather was raging outside of my home this afternoon I read some alarming …
Question: “What is the power of prayer?”
Question: “What is the power of prayer?” Answer: The idea that power is inherent in prayer is a very popular one. According to the Bible, the power of prayer is, quite simply, the power of God, who hears and answers prayer. Consider the following: 1) The Lord God Almighty can do all things; there is nothing impossible for Him (Luke 1:37). 2) The Lord God Almighty invites His people to pray to Him. Prayer to God should be made persistently (Luke 18:1), with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6), in faith (James 1:5), within the will of God (Matthew 6:10), for the glory …
By Grace Through Faith
Reflections By Grace Through Faith For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them. (Eph. 2:8-10) The relationship between grace, faith, and our works, is given in this passage. In short, we are saved BY grace, THROUGH faith, UNTO good works. If we alter this relationship we are in danger of creating a false gospel; a false Christianity. It …
Evidence That The Church Began at Pentecost in Acts 2
Evidence That The Church Began at Pentecost in Acts 2 By Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum Ariel Ministries Q. What is the biblical evidence that the Church began at Pentecost in Acts 2? A. The evidence comes in four passages of Scripture. The first passage that deals with the beginning of the universal church is Colossians 1:18: And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. The point of this verse is that the Church is the Body of the Messiah. The second …
