No Mind Can Conceive It

by

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 …

“He shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord.”—Micah 5:4.

by

“He shall stand and feed in the strength of the Lord.”—Micah 5:4. CHRIST’S reign in His Church is that of a shepherd-king. He has supremacy, but it is the superiority of a wise and tender shepherd over his needy and loving flock; He commands and receives obedience, but it is the willing obedience of the well-cared-for sheep, rendered joyfully to their beloved Shepherd, whose voice they know so well. He rules by the force of love and the energy of goodness. His reign is practical in its character. It is said, “He shall stand and feed.” The great Head of …

Doom To Ancient Judah For Sin – Can America Be Far Behind?

by

In this passage of Scripture God Tells the Jews through the prophet Ezekiel that He has had enough of their sins. He goes on to tell them that doom is coming upon Jerusalem and all the land of Israel. Seeing how God only tolerates sin in a nation for so long before He brings judgment, we must ask: Can America’s judgment be coming soon? Ezekiel Told To Alert The Idolaters to What is Coming Massacre of the Innocents by Peter Paul Rubens 1610 Ezekiel 6:11 11Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Smite with thy hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say, …

“And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but He received it not.”—Mark 15:23.

by

“And they gave Him to drink wine mingled with myrrh: but He received it not.”—Mark 15:23. A golden truth is couched in the fact that the Saviour put the myrrhed wine-cup from His lips. On the heights of heaven the Son of God stood of old, and as He looked down upon our globe He measured the long descent to the utmost depths of human misery; He cast up the sum total of all the agonies which expiation would require, and abated not a jot. He solemnly determined that to offer a sufficient atoning sacrifice He must go the whole …

YESHUA’S RIGHT TO DAVID’S THRONE

by

YESHUA’S RIGHT TO DAVID’S THRONE Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Most High: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David. – Luke 1:32 INTRODUCTION The question is often raised that: “Because Yeshua (Jesus) was not the real son of Joseph but only the son of Mary, does He have the right to sit on David’s throne?” Also, related to this issue are the two genealogies found in Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38. If Jesus were only the son of Mary and not Joseph, why was it …

We are treated as impostors, and …
