Simple Kind Of Man

by

Dr. Mike Murphy “It made me greatly ashamed of the vileness of my former life, and confounded me with the sense of mine own ignorance; for there never came thought into mine heart before now that showed me so the beauty of Jesus Christ.  It made me love a holy life, and long to do something for the honour and glory of the name of the Lord Jesus.  Yea, I thought that had I now a thousand gallons of blood in my body, I could spill it all for the sake of the Lord Jesus.“ Who do you think wrote …

The Coalition Invasion of Israel

by

The Bible is not explicit regarding the precise dates upon which most future end time events will occur. It does however give the observant student of the Scriptures a sequential chronology of those events. Christ for example, wanted His followers to know certain aspects of the end time events so they would not be caught unaware of them if they unfolded during their lifetime. He did not tell exactly when they would take place. In fact he clearly stated that the exact date would not be known (Matt 24:36). Christ clearly explained the events leading up to the great final …

Letting Go to God

by

Letting Go to God Jacob was left alone; and a man wrestled with him until the breaking of the day. And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. (Gen. 32:24-25) Jacob would not let go – he would not abandon himself, or lose himself to God by faith. He relied on his natural strength. So God broke his natural strength. For us, this means that God will NEVER allow our natural man to succeed in wrestling …

The Meaning of the Cross

by

The Meaning of the Cross Matthew 27:11-26 Jesus before Pilate 11 Now Jesus stood before the governor, and the governor questioned Him, saying, “Are You the King of the Jews?” And Jesus said to him, “It is as you say.” 12 And while He was being accused by the chief priests and elders, He did not answer. 13 Then Pilate *said to Him, “Do You not hear how many things they testify against You?” 14 And He did not answer him with regard to even a single charge, so the governor was quite amazed. 15 Now at the feast the …

“Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.” Lamentations 3:41

by

“Let us lift up our heart with our hands unto God in the heavens.” Lamentations 3:41 The act of prayer teaches us our unworthiness, which is a very salutary lesson for such proud beings as we are. If God gave us favours without constraining us to pray for them we should never know how poor we are, but a true prayer is an inventory of wants, a catalogue of necessities, a revelation of hidden poverty. While it is an application to divine wealth, it is a confession of human emptiness. The most healthy state of a Christian is to be …

The Rapture

by

“For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.” – 1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 In the passage above, Paul spells out the chronological sequence of the Rapture in seven stages. First, “the Lord Himself will descend from heaven.” At …

LYING LIPS AND THE APOCALYPSE- by Steve Schmutzer

by

I’m in no mood to mince words here, nor is there good reason to. The truth about our nation’s political and cultural upheavals needs to be plainly stated, so I’ll start with the burner on low and turn up the heat as I go. There are various ways to approach these issues, but I want to look at “the good, the bad, and the ugly.” With my nod to Clint Eastwood, that’s an easy outline to follow. First – the “good.” President Trump has achieved an amazing feat with our nation’s economy, and even the Washington Compost, The Associated Depress, …

Overcoming Trials

by

Overcoming Trials Hebrews 11:23-29 23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw he was a beautiful child; and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he had grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to endure ill-treatment with the people of God than to enjoy the passing pleasures of sin, 26 considering the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures of Egypt; for he was looking to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, …

“And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.”—Jeremiah 15:21.

by

“And I will deliver thee out of the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee out of the hand of the terrible.”—Jeremiah 15:21. NOTE the glorious personality of the promise. I will, I will. The Lord Jehovah Himself interposes to deliver and redeem His people. He pledges Himself personally to rescue them. His own arm shall do it, that He may have the glory. Here is not a word said of any effort of our own which may be needed to assist the Lord. Neither our strength nor our weakness is taken into the account, but the lone …

How are you doing at handling your loneliness?

by

How are you doing at handling your loneliness? I don’t have to ask you whether you are lonely. Single or married, you know what this hollow feeling is like. It’s an inescapable part of being human, but trying to escape it rarely works. It just pushes it under the surface for a while, to pop up again later. One of the misbeliefs is that this ache can be eliminated. It can’t be. But you can lessen its effects. You can deal with it in constructive ways that make it less painful and less frequent, but if you think that a …
