Strangely Dim
Strangely Dim Hebrew 12:2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Colossians 3:1-2 Therefore if you have been raised up with Christ, keep seeking the things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your mind on the things above, not on the things that are on earth. I’ve had all these plans piled up sky high A thousand dreams on hold And I don’t know …
A New Life
2 Corinthians 10:5 “…casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ…” A New Life In Chapter 8 of the book of John, we are told of a woman who was caught in the act of adultery. The Pharisees came with the woman in tow and began asking Jesus what should be done to her. They knew that the law said that she should be stoned to death, but they asked Him nonetheless. Jesus then stooped down and began to write in the sand. …
The little things of life
The little things of life “But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” Luke 12:7 You know so little of God, my reader, because you live at such a distance from God. You have . . . so little communion with Him, so little confession of sin, so little searching of your own conscience, so little probing of your own heart, so little transaction with Him in the little things of life. You deal with God in great matters. You take great trials to God, great perplexities, great needs; but in the minutiae of each day’s history, …
Armageddon – by Hal Lindsey
Armageddon – by Hal Lindsey Just over two months ago, the world watched as the United States opened its embassy in the city of Jerusalem. President Donald Trump was not only fulfilling a campaign promise, but he was, according to him, simply recognizing reality. Jerusalem is and has always been the capital of Israel. The move pleased many and it angered many. Much of the world held its breath as it awaited a violent eruption of protests and retribution that never came. The Palestinians promised a cataclysm, but didn’t produce one. Nonetheless, the world watched… and waited. The ancient Bible …
No Mind Can Conceive It
No Mind Can Conceive It In pardoning the sin, and in justifying the sinner, the penalty incurred and the obedience demanded must be met. The law must be honored, justice satisfied, holiness secured, and the righteousness, dignity, and glory of the moral Government of God displayed and magnified in the eyes of the whole universe. Let an ingenuous and thoughtful mind pause and enquire how could God exhibit His infinite abhorrence of sin, and vindicate the holiness of the law; how exact the stern penalty incurred by the one, and meet the unbending requirements of the other- by saving the sinner …
~ Arthur Pink, “The Doctrine of Salvation”
“The new birth is the dividing line between heaven and hell. In God’s sight there are but two classes of people; those who are dead in sins, and those who are walking in newness of life. A man is either dead or alive. We are either saints (true believers) or sinners, spiritually alive or spiritually dead, children of God or children of the devil (1 John 3:10). In view of this solemn fact, how momentous is the question, ‘Have I been born again?’ If not, and you die in your present state, you will wish you had never been born …
“The Coming of the Holy Spirit”
Genesis was compiled and composed by Moses, under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, probably during the Wilderness Wandering: 1445-1405 BC. Genesis records the very beginning of all things, starting with eternity past. our oldest Old Testament book is Job, written probably about 2,000 BC. Though Job has only two references concerning the Spirit, the following powerful and awesome statement is given by inspiration through Elihu: “The Spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty gives me life” (33:14) . With great boldness, Elihu tells us that if it were not for the Lord’s Spirit sustaining …
“Give diligence,
2 Peter 1:5-6 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; If thou wouldest enjoy the eminent grace of the full assurance of faith, under the blessed Spirit’s influence, and assistance, do what the Scripture tells thee, “Give diligence.” Take care that thy faith is of the right kind–that it is not a mere belief of doctrine, but a simple faith, depending on Christ, and on Christ alone. Give diligent heed to thy courage. Plead with God that he …
7 REASONS TO STUDY BIBLE PROPHECY
by Bradley W. Maston There was once a young boy of 9 years old in England named John. His mother had died and his father had gone off to war to fight, leaving young John in the care of his loving grandfather. They lived in a small town several hours away from London; and while John very much missed his father, he enjoyed life with his grandfather—even in all the challenges of war-time England. Some of the most exciting days were when grandfather would get John dressed up and the pair would find their way into London. There were interesting …
Live Like You Were Dying!
Live Like You Were Dying! Dr. Mike Murphy July 24, 2018 As I heard him ask the question, I already knew the answers I would hear. The commentator asked, “What would you do if you found out that you only had a few weeks to live?”. The answers did not surprise me. Some told him they would take the trip of a lifetime, seeing things they had always wanted to see. Others told him they would check off as much of their bucket list as possible, doing all the things they had never found the time to do. And others …
