Another Gospel – by Jack Kinsella

by

For Christians, there is no call to action more important that the Great Commission given to the Twelve Apostles by Jesus: “And He said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature.” (Mark 16:15) Indeed, Jesus linked the overspreading of the Gospel message to His Second Coming, saying: “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and THEN shall the end come.” So, we know two things so far. The first is that all Christians are commanded by Jesus Christ Himself to …

For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.” 2 Corinthians 1:5

by

There is a blessed proportion. The Ruler of Providence bears a pair of scales–in this side he puts his people’s trials, and in that he puts their consolations. When the scale of trial is nearly empty, you will always find the scale of consolation in nearly the same condition; and when the scale of trials is full, you will find the scale of consolation just as heavy. When the black clouds gather most, the light is the more brightly revealed to us.

Treasure in Earthen Vessels

by

Reflections But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. (2 Cor 4:7) This is another picture of, “Christ in us, the hope of glory.” (Col. 1:27) But it is a picture that stresses the distinction between ourselves and Christ. He is the Treasure and we are the earthen vessel. We will never be the Treasure. Indeed, even while Christ is in us, and we are one with Him in spirit, He remains distinct. He carries all of the value. We are privileged to receive and experience …

A FAITHFUL & WISE STEWARD

by

LUKE 12:42__________________________________“And the Lord said, ‘Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in due season?’ “ In this verse, the desired goal is an abundant supply. The protocol by which it is enjoyed is being a successful steward; the means by which it is obtained is faithfulness. Let’s be honest…what is it that you and I have that we can really say we own? Is it our car? Is it our house or boat, etc.? You may think because you have the pink …
