Religion and Salvation – by Jack Kinsella

At Babel, God deliberately confused the languages of men and dispersed them into different nations. The purpose, according to Genesis, was to prevent them from all coming under the authority of a single dictator, as happened under Nimrod. “And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do.” (Genesis 11:6) Denominationalism is the spiritual equivalent, ensuring that one powerful leader couldn’t take over Christianity and lead the true Church into error, as the Bible says …

TIMES OF TROUBLE

Hard times are inevitable, but no matter what you’re going through, there’s only one place of true comfort. Psalm 46:2-11 (KJV)2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, …

“And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion.” Revelation 14:1

The apostle John was privileged to look within the gates of heaven, and in describing what he saw, he begins by saying, “I looked, and, lo, a Lamb!” This teaches us that the chief object of contemplation in the heavenly state is “the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world.” Nothing else attracted the apostle’s attention so much as the person of that Divine Being, who hath redeemed us by his blood. He is the theme of the songs of all glorified spirits and holy angels. Christian, here is joy for thee; thou hast looked, and thou …

Waiting and Watching

By Jonathan Bretner Waiting is difficult! Whether we’re waiting for cold symptoms to subside, a job offer, or a storm in our life to end, it’s never fun waiting. It’s also not easy waiting for Jesus to take us home to heaven. Yet I know so many of you, like me, have been waiting decades for His appearing.Recently, I have been thinking about Simeon, the man who greeted the Savior in temple when His parents came to present Him to the Lord. The Holy Spirit had previously revealed to Simeon that he would not die until he had seen the …

Revelation vs. Information

Reflections Revelation vs. Information When we are in great difficulty and suffering, it is natural for us to appeal to God for information – what we ought to do, or not do, in order to get out of the suffering. We would at least like to know the reason for our suffering. But almost all of the time when we make this appeal to God He is silent about these matters. The purpose of God is not to give us information – not even information ABOUT Christ. Rather, God wants to give us a revelation OF Christ. Even more, according …

All of Israel will be Saved

Romans 10-11 10 Brethren, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. 2 For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.~~~~~~~Romans 11:25 For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be …

ONCE FOR ALL

1 PETER 3:18_______________________________________________“For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit.” ONCE FOR ALL When Jesus offered you salvation, it was a complete gift that you chose to receive. Your salvation in Him is secure not because of what you have done, but because Christ suffered once for all. Each and every sin was covered by the blood of Jesus on that day two thousand years ago. Through Christ you were made alive by the Spirit. Jesus …

Matthew 6:1/Luke 2:49 :: By Dennis Huebshman

Matthew 6:1/Luke 2:49 :: By Dennis Huebshman Little Boy Blue, come blow your horn; the sheep’s in the meadow, the cow’s in the corn. But where is the little boy (congress) who looks after the sheep (Americans)? He’s under a haystack, fast asleep (dreaming of their own agenda, not what’s good for the country). (Mother Goose – emphasis mine) One more: There was a “crooked man” (congress); and he walked a crooked mile (campaign promises). He found a crooked sixpence (our tax money), against a crooked stile (Fed. Reserve). He bought a crooked cat, which caught a crooked mouse (Radical’s …
