“Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.” 1 Corinthians 7:20

by

“Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.” 1 Corinthians 7:20 Some persons have the foolish notion that the only way in which they can live for God is by becoming ministers, missionaries, or Bible women. Alas! how many would be shut out from any opportunity of magnifying the Most High if this were the case. Beloved, it is not office, it is earnestness; it is not position, it is grace which will enable us to glorify God. God is most surely glorified in that cobbler’s stall, where the godly worker, as he plies the awl, …

WHEN WE STUMBLE

by

WHEN WE STUMBLE How to Deal With Sin After Salvation By Charles F. Stanley Eternal security is the work of God in Christ that guarantees that the gift of salvation once received by faith is possessed forever and cannot be lost. Many people believe they are basically good, but according to the Lord’s standard, we are all sinners, and no one is good enough to be accepted into heaven. Good deeds can’t save us, and they won’t keep us saved. Although sin no longer fits our new identity in Christ, we’ll still sin at times. However, when we understand the …

The Privilege of Knowing God

by

God wants a relationship with each of us, and He reveals this desire in both nature and the human conscience The Privilege of Knowing God Psalms 19:1 – 19:6 1 (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set …

And If The Dead Rise Not. . . – by Jack Kinsella “Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

In our modern English, …

Glorious Change Coming

by

Glorious Change Coming By Terry James Something sinister lurks just ahead within this world of darkening uncertainty. The forewarning thought simmers beneath daily life that change is coming-transformational change that will make these present hours seem like the good old days for the inhabitants of future earth. Princes and presidents, potentates and populations at large sense gnawing dread spawned by the seemingly unstoppable spread of murderous, racial/religious hatreds. Proliferation of nuclear weaponry among the most violence-prone among us appears on the brink of unleashing man’s final war. The term “Armageddon” is regularly used to describe man’s greatest fear during hourly …

CHRIST’S CERTAINTY CONCERNING HIS SHEEP – A MOTIVATION TO PREACH THE GOSPEL.

by

CHRIST’S CERTAINTY CONCERNING HIS SHEEP – A MOTIVATION TO PREACH THE GOSPEL. John 10:16 “And other sheep I have, which are not of this fold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one fold, and one shepherd.” Not simply, “they ought to hear My voice,” not simply “they MAY hear My voice”, not “they will do so IF they are willing.” There is no “if”, no “perhaps “, no uncertainty about it. “They shall hear My voice” is His own positive, unqualified, absolute promise. Here then, is where faith is to rest! …

Misery Loves Company

Misery Loves Company In Defense of the Faith Monday, June 25, 2018 Pete Garcia Author’s note-June 8th, 2018: This is the first article I ever wrote for the Omega Letter. Even today, I am amazed that I am still writing seven-years later, especially considering I never particularly cared for writing. Anywho, I thought of this article when I saw the news that Anthony Bourdain had hung himself in his hotel room in France today. This was the guy that every time I saw his show “Parts Unknown,” I thought, has to have the best job in the world. He gets to travel …
