In Awe of Him

In Awe of Him ” And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up.

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

“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

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.

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.

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

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! …
