Saved and Sure

by

God’s Word is true, and it assures us of our right standing with Him. Saved and Sure To help you understand the concept of “saved and sure,” here are three truths that indicate what the Lord wants for all people: 1. God wants everyone to be saved. He calls all men and women to Himself, but there must be a response to His invitation. When we answer His call to salvation, the Father makes us part of His everlasting family (Rom. 10:9-13). If we decide to reject the Lord, however, then we will eternally remain outside of His redemption plan …

Tough Spots

Tough Spots 1 Kings 17:5–7 5 So Elijah did as the Lord told him and camped beside Kerith Brook, east of the Jordan. 6 The ravens brought him bread and meat each morning and evening, and he drank from the brook. 7 But after a while the brook dried up, for there was no rainfall anywhere in the land. Elijah was in a tough spot. A life-threatening spot. The brook had dried up. Had God forgotten His faithful servant? Has God forgotten you? Has He left you all alone? The God who gives water can also withhold water. That’s His …

“He who sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision” (Psalm. 2:4)

by

“Nothing is more strengthening to faith, stabilizing to the mind, and tranquilizing to the heart of a Christian, than for him to be enabled to discern his Father’s hand guiding, shaping, and controlling everything which enters his life; and not only so, but that He is also governing this world, and all people and events in it. God is not shaken by the situation which now confronts our view, nor does the pride, arrogance, and blasphemy of His enemies occasion Him any uneasiness. To the contrary “He who sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in …

by

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the Lord Jesus taking the earth back. And He cried with a loud voice, as [when] a lion roareth: and when He had cried, seven thunders uttered their voices.The Lord’s loud voice is similar to the roar of a lion. He is after all the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. (Gen 49:9) Scripture tells us of the Lord roaring out of Zion shaking the heavens and the earth (Joel 3:16) and the King is having a time of wrath roaring like a lion.(Proverbs 19:12; Hos 10:11; Amos 3:8) Seven thunders noise with understandable …

Who are the “Sons of God” in Genesis Chapter 6?

by

Part 6: The Fallen Angels Agenda Against Jesus Christ In Defense of the Faith Tuesday, July 17, 2018 Steve Schmutzer Two groups attended the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. In the first dimension were the physical cast: the Roman soldiers who had crucified Jesus and were gambling for His clothes (John 19:23-24); the women and the lone disciple, John (John 19:25-27); the chief priests, scribes, and elders (Matt.27:41); and a multitude of gawkers and mockers from around the region (Matt. 27:39-40). We take this mixed crowd of mourners and malefactors for granted because we’ve heard this story before. But it’s the …

Certainty About Salvation

by

Understanding that God’s love is unconditional enables us to commit our heart and life to Him Certainty About Salvation 1 JOHN 5:13 13 These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, so that you may know that you have eternal life. One of the main reasons many Christians fail to serve God joyfully is their uncertainty about where they stand with Him. They don’t understand the basic nature of their relationship with the Lord and, as a result, hold back from dedicating themselves fully to His service. You probably have seen …

The Land Nobody Wanted – by Jack Kinsella

by

The Land Nobody Wanted – by Jack Kinsella The land claimed by Israel is smaller than the state of Rhode Island. In comparison to the Arab Middle East, Israel is like a single piece of sod on a football field. Carrying the analogy further, imagine that one team has to defend that single piece of sod from an opposing team that outnumbers them 650 to 1. The other team, claiming unfair advantage, is demanding the single piece of sod be divided and half of it be awarded to them. The referees agree, and penalize the defending team for refusing to …
