ONCE FOR ALL

by

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

by

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 …

The Simple Choice

by

Dr. Mike Murphy I find myself today, anxious to watch play out all the plans the Lord has for you and me.  A six pound, twelve ounce future bundle of joy, that in five months you will name Charlotte.  I will be a good baby, by everything people will tell you. One that smiles more than cries, and one who will delight you in sleeping through most nights. As I turn seven months old, I will develop a high fever that will bring the greatest of fears to you.  Although the doctor will not be overly concerned, as a new …

50–Little Apocalypse II

by

Isaiah has prophetic insight of this joyful time, when finally, the saints shall reign with their Lord in the bliss of the Messianic Kingdom, which Isaiah foresees compared to the misery of the present, and his own participation in it. A time of suffering, of wasting, and pining away must be endured until then. He […]

Deliverance In Christ

by

Reflections From the Psalms Deliverance In Christ Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed. My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O Lord, how long? Return, O Lord, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake. (Ps. 6:2-4) When we are brought to the end of our rope, and come to a complete despair over ourselves, it is not because God has forsaken us. Rather, it is because God is showing us the Truth: There is no hope in ourselves. Indeed, left to ourselves, we …

Freedom from Self

by

Reflections Freedom from Self Scripture tells us that Christ must be formed in us. This means God wants us to inwardly realize and know Christ. But it is vital to also grasp what it does NOT mean. To have Christ formed in me is not SELF-realization. The goal of God is not to bolster self-esteem, help me find the, “real me,” or to enhance my focus on MYSELF. Actually, the more Christ is formed in me, the more I will be set free from my obsession with myself. I will leave myself alone. Why? Because I will see HIM. He …

The Paradox of a Righteous Lot

by

Pete GarciaFebruary 11, 2019 Most of us alive here in America tend to see the world with a western worldview.  This worldview works fine for everyday life, but can cause the average western believer consternation when trying to make sense of certain parts of the Scriptures.  All Scripture is giving by inspiration of God through […]

Turn and Face the Wind Isaiah 40:31

by

Turn and Face the WindIsaiah 40:31 “But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.”____________________________________________________________I can still remember the first time I saw an airplane takeoff. It was at a small airport in Orange County near the coast. That little airport had just one simple runway, no control tower, and no fence to keep people out, so I took full advantage of getting as close as I possibly could to the planes. I sat down in the …
