The Whole Armor Of God
The Whole Armor Of God We are to put on the “Whole Armor of God”, And having done so – stand, As the forces of evil seek to destroy God’s work and perfect plan. We gird ourselves with the “Truth”- Christ Jesus – Lord of all; And as our minds are stayed on Him, We’re safe whatever befall. We put on the “Breastplate of Righteousness” As we face the daily fight, Shunning all the works of iniquity, Standing for what is right. Our feet are shod with the “Gospel of Peace” As we walk on the battle ground, Leaving footprints …
“His mercies are new every morning”
“His mercies are new every morning” The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. Lamentations 3:22-23 The prophet Jeremiah is believed to be the author of Lamentations (2 Chronicles 35:25). Jeremiah wrote Lamentations at a time of grief and sorrow, after Jerusalem fell to Babylon circa 586 B.C. This book describes great anguish and great hope in poetic form. The first two chapters lament over the fall of Jerusalem in excruciating and personal detail. The tone changes from despair to hope in chapter 3, verse 21 “But this …
“God has every one of your tears in the bottle of His remembrance (Psa. 56:8)
“God has every one of your tears in the bottle of His remembrance (Psa. 56:8), held in loving hands in a beautiful place where God never forgets the pain that has crushed our dreams and broken our hearts. God assures us that in one of the most compassionate acts of love ever recorded in the Scriptures, He will ‘wipe every tear from our eyes.’ Death will be gone for good–tears gone, crying gone, pain gone. With the gentle hands of a loving Father, He will reach over and wipe from your face those droplets of water that on earth have served …
Nobodies into Somebodies
Nobodies into Somebodies 1 Samuel 16:1–11 Samuel Anoints David as King Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.” 2 But Samuel asked, “How can I do that? If Saul hears about it, he will kill me.” “Take a heifer with you,” the Lord replied, “and say that you have come to make a sacrifice to …
Report: International coalition hits Syrian army positions
Hezbollah-affiliated media says warplanes from U.S.-led international coalition targeted two Syrian army positions. 05/23/2018 Warplanes from the U.S.-led international coalition targeted two Syrian army positions in the eastern Syrian desert overnight Wednesday, Reuters reported, citing a military media unit run by the Hezbollah group. The unit, a Damascus ally, said the strikes took place near T2, an energy installation located near the border with Iraq and about 100 kilometers (60 miles) west of the Euphrates river where the coalition is backing ground forces against Islamic State (ISIS). A spokesman for the coalition could not be immediately reached by phone and Syrian state …
“The unsearchable riches of Christ.”—Ephesians 3:8.
C. H. Spurgeon “The unsearchable riches of Christ.”—Ephesians 3:8. MY Master has riches beyond the count of arithmetic, the measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the eloquence of words. They are unsearchable! You may look, and study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than you think Him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest. My Lord is more ready to pardon than you to sin, more able to forgive than you to transgress. My Master is more willing to supply your wants than you are to confess them. Never tolerate low thoughts of my Lord …
THE SLEEPLESS WATCHER
“He that keepeth thee will not slumber. Behold, He that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is thy keeper.”– Psa 121:3-5. THIS PSALM has been called the Traveller’s Psalm. When the pilgrims started forth from their distant homes to go up to the Temple, not one of them could forecast his experiences before he reached home again. There were perils of rivers, perils of robbers, perils in the wilderness, perils in travel from wild beasts. It was well, therefore, that they should commit themselves and their dear ones to the care of One who neither slumbered nor …
Our Bridge to God
Jesus is the only one who can bridge the gap between our sin and God’s holiness. Our Bridge to God JOHN 14:1-6 1 Do not let your heart be troubled; believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if it were not so, I would have told you; for I go to prepare a place for you. 3 If I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself, that where I am, there you may be also. 4 And you know the way where …
Prophetic Proof
We know we are at the end of the dispensation of grace for specific reasons. A number of these come to mind. Evil men and seducers are growing worse, as the Apostle Paul forewarned. The time has come when “they”–meaning religionists who claim to know Christ but do not–will not “endure sound doctrine.” All of Paul’s “perilous times” prophecies are in view, as we have dissected many times. False accusers, for example, are in our daily headlines, with lies being told for political gain or just to heap hatred upon ideological enemies. There is a denial that God should be found anywhere in humanistic …
