The Work of Christ: Past, Present and Future
Excerpted from: The Work of Christ: Past, Present and Future, A.C. Gaebelein (1913). And now let us consider His work on the cross and what has been accomplished by it. But who is able to speak worthily of this theme of all themes? Who can fathom the solemn yet blessed fact, the death of the Son of God on the cross? What tongue or pen can describe the sad, yet glorious truth, that the Just One died for the unjust, that Christ died for the ungodly! He who knew no sin was made sin for us! And what human mind …
Sing It Out!
Sing It Out! Exodus 14:23-15:22 23 And the Egyptians pursued and went after them into the midst of the sea, all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. 24 Now it came to pass, in the morning watch, that the Lord looked down upon the army of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and cloud, and He troubled the army of the Egyptians. 25 And He took off[a] their chariot wheels, so that they drove them with difficulty; and the Egyptians said, “Let us flee from the face of Israel, for the Lord fights for them against the Egyptians.” …
The Restorer of Lost Hopes
In a world of trials, hope is not a natural posture; it’s something God’s people choose to cultivate. The Restorer of Lost Hopes ROMANS 5:1-5 1 Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, 2 through whom also we have obtained our introduction by faith into this grace in which we stand; and we exult in hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only this, but we also exult in our tribulations, knowing that tribulation brings about perseverance; Not only is Christ the source of genuine hope; He is also …
“We dwell in him.” 1 John 4:13
“We dwell in him.” 1 John 4:13 Do you want a house for your soul? Do you ask, “What is the purchase?” It is something less than proud human nature will like to give. It is without money and without price. Ah! you would like to pay a respectable rent! You would love to do something to win Christ? Then you cannot have the house, for it is “without price.” Will you take my Master’s house on a lease for all eternity, with nothing to pay for it, nothing but the ground-rent of loving and serving him forever? Will you …
Bill Koenig: Watching the Middle East
Prophecy Watchers There’s a cauldron boiling in the Middle East. The tiny, but powerful nation of Israel, the size of New Jersey, is surrounded by enemies who are threatening her with complete annihilation. The…
“And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing” (1 Kings 18:43)
“And he went up, and looked, and said, There is nothing” (1 Kings 18:43) Elijah was not always answered immediately, and who are we to demand a prompt answer to our first asking?….He was convinced that sooner or later God would grant his request, yet he was persuaded he should “give Him no rest” (Isa. 62:7). Six times the servant returned with his report that there was no portent of rain, yet the prophet relaxed not his supplication. And let us not be faint-hearted when no immediate success attends our praying, but be importunate, exercising faith and patience until the …
SAY IT AIN’T SO MR. PRESIDENT: Trump’s “Peace Plan” For Israel Could Explain Severe Weather Outbreak
Today I awoke to extremely severe weather in my Home State of Michigan. As of this afternoon, more than 300,000 Metro Detroiters are without power. I’m sure that number will be much higher across the State once the storms have passed. Michigan is far from alone, as New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Ohio are also enduring the severe weather outbreak. Now, I’m sure most would say, it’s Spring and with Spring comes severe storms. Normally, you’d probably be right, but while the severe weather was raging outside of my home this afternoon I read some alarming …
Question: “What is the power of prayer?”
Question: “What is the power of prayer?” Answer: The idea that power is inherent in prayer is a very popular one. According to the Bible, the power of prayer is, quite simply, the power of God, who hears and answers prayer. Consider the following: 1) The Lord God Almighty can do all things; there is nothing impossible for Him (Luke 1:37). 2) The Lord God Almighty invites His people to pray to Him. Prayer to God should be made persistently (Luke 18:1), with thanksgiving (Philippians 4:6), in faith (James 1:5), within the will of God (Matthew 6:10), for the glory …
By Grace Through Faith
Reflections By Grace Through Faith For by grace are you saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God has before ordained that we should walk in them. (Eph. 2:8-10) The relationship between grace, faith, and our works, is given in this passage. In short, we are saved BY grace, THROUGH faith, UNTO good works. If we alter this relationship we are in danger of creating a false gospel; a false Christianity. It …
Evidence That The Church Began at Pentecost in Acts 2
Evidence That The Church Began at Pentecost in Acts 2 By Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum Ariel Ministries Q. What is the biblical evidence that the Church began at Pentecost in Acts 2? A. The evidence comes in four passages of Scripture. The first passage that deals with the beginning of the universal church is Colossians 1:18: And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. The point of this verse is that the Church is the Body of the Messiah. The second …
Nimrod the Founder of the Occult and Babylon
The Bible develops a very prominent and notorious character named Nimrod. He was the sixth son born of Cush. His name in Hebrew means to rebel. He was the founder of Babylon and Assyria. He is mentioned in I Chronicles 1: 10, Micah 5: 6 and in Genesis 10: 8b-9. The Hebrew text states that he was a mighty hunter before the Lord. This is indicative of his antagonism and opposition to God. He was wicked and made the whole world rebel through the building of the Tower of Babel. He was the first to establish kingdoms. This happened in …
