THE ATTITUDE OF A BELIEVER
THE ATTITUDE OF A BELIEVER 1 Corinthians 15:9-11 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Whether then it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed. The apostle Paul had a certain mindset that …
Building a Firm Foundation
A well-rounded understanding of God’s character is the beginning of developing sound faith Building a Firm Foundation LAMENTATIONS 3:21-23 21 This I recall to my mind, Therefore I have hope. 22 The LORD’S lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, For His compassions never fail. 23 They are new every morning; Great is Your faithfulness. We have been examining the nature of faith. But on what must we build a strong faith in the Lord? Let’s look at seven aspects of the foundation: 1. God is. Faith must be built around the simple confession that the Lord is—that He is real and that …
YOU NEVER GET more than one day’s journey from Christ if you come to Him every morning. Shut the world out. Get closeted with God and you will learn His secrets.
YOU NEVER GET more than one day’s journey from Christ if you come to Him every morning. Shut the world out. Get closeted with God and you will learn His secrets. I like to get up at five o’clock in the morning and turn the key and be alone, and let God talk with me. Some people say, “l cannot concentrate my thoughts. My mind just goes all over the world.” Well, that is true. There is no bigger tramp on the earth than human mind. Some of you are off in Africa now; some of you may be going …
Liberman: UN Human Rights Council has become a cheerleader for terrorists
Defense minister slams investigation ordered by UN’s top human rights body following weeks of violence along Gaza fence 05/19/2018 Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Liberman on Saturday accused the UN Human Rights Council of becoming a “cheerleader for terrorists,” after the UN’s top human rights body ordered an investigation into the deadly violence along the Gaza border fence this week. Rejecting the probe, Liberman tweeted in Hebrew that “the only investigation that needs to be set up is into how the Human Rights Council became a cheerleader for terrorists.” Israel said Friday that it will not cooperate with the investigation after …
“And he requested for himself that he might die.” 1 Kings 19:4
“And he requested for himself that he might die.” 1 Kings 19:4 It was a remarkable thing that the man who was never to die, for whom God had ordained an infinitely better lot, the man who should be carried to heaven in a chariot of fire, and be translated, that he should not see death–should thus pray, “Let me die, I am no better than my fathers.” We have here a memorable proof that God does not always answer prayer in kind, though he always does in effect. He gave Elias something better than that which he asked for, …
God of Every Detail
God of Every Detail Numbers 27:12-23 12 And Jehovah said unto Moses, Get thee up into this mountain of Abarim, and behold the land which I have given unto the children of Israel. 13 And when thou hast seen it, thou also shalt be gathered unto thy people, as Aaron thy brother was gathered; 14 because ye rebelled against my word in the wilderness of Zin, in the strife of the congregation, to sanctify me at the waters before their eyes. (These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) 15 And Moses spake unto Jehovah, …
Standing on a Firm Foundation
Standing on a Firm Foundation ISAIAH 52:7 7 How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace And brings good news of happiness, Who announces salvation, And says to Zion, Your God reigns!” ROMANS 10:15 15 How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, HOW BEAUTIFUL ARE THE FEET OF THOSE WHO BRING GOOD NEWS OF GOOD THINGS!” When was the last time you had a Bible study on the topic of feet? In all likelihood, you haven’t ever had such a lesson. In fact, you might …
The Five Witnesses to the Truth of Jesus the Messiah
Introduction At the time of Jesus, the ruling Jews did not believe who He was. Even though He proved to them by many facts and fulfilled prophecies, they nevertheless accused Him of blasphemy as they said He was making Himself out to equal with God (John 5:18). They had a validating procedure in place within the Mosaic Law to determine truth, but unfortunately did not rely on it to certify that He is the Messiah: Jesus Enters Jerusalem by Benjamin Robert Haydon Cir 1814-1820 John 5:31–47 31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true. 32 There is another …
WAITING FOR GOD
WAITING FOR GOD Psalm 27:14 14 Wait for the Lord;be strong, and let your heart take courage; wait for the Lord! Our culture is an “instant” society. Because of inventions like the computer and the microwave, we’re used to quick results. A fast pace isn’t necessarily bad, but we should guard against becoming so set on immediate fulfillment that we can’t wait for God’s timing. This problem existed long before the computer age. In Genesis 15:4-5, God revealed to Abraham that though he and his wife Sarah were too old to have children, a great nation would come from him. …
“In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him.”—Colossians 2:9, 10.
“In Him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in Him.”—Colossians 2:9, 10. ALL the attributes of Christ, as God and man, are at our disposal. All the fulness of the Godhead, whatever that marvellous term may comprehend, is ours to make us complete. He cannot endow us with the attributes of Deity; but He has done all that can be done, for He has made even His divine power and Godhead subservient to our salvation. His omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, immutability and infallibility, are all combined for our defence. Arise, believer, and behold the Lord …
A Purpose of Adversity
Hardship caused by sin and brokenness can help us hate evil just as much as God does A Purpose of Adversity PSALM 37:23-28 23 The steps of a man are established by the LORD, And He delights in his way. 24 When he falls, he will not be hurled headlong, Because the LORD is the One who holds his hand. 25 I have been young and now I am old, Yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken Or his descendants begging bread. 26 All day long he is gracious and lends, And his descendants are a blessing. 27 Depart …
