Experiencing God’s Love

by

Ephesians 3:17-1917 That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,18 May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God. In today’s passage, Paul prays that the Ephesians will grasp the depth of Christ’s love. Though divine care is beyond human comprehension, the apostle says God will give spiritual understanding so we can experience Him more fully. But there are four things …

NO LONGER A SLAVE TO SIN

by

By Fred Trokie Romans 6:3-7 says:3 Or do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus have been baptized into His death?4 Therefore we have been buried with Him through baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.5 For if we have become united with Him in the likeness of His death, certainly we shall also be in the likeness of His resurrection,6 knowing this, that our old self was crucified with Him, in order …

The Last Hour

by

Throughout scripture, we take note of the different statements from Christ, the prophets, and the apostles regarding time in the last days. One could easily note that the prophets and apostles viewed themselves as being in the last days even in their day. This nearness (as we would call it) has been the cannon fodder for the skeptic, Preterist and Amillennialist alike and have used it for centuries to try and beef up their eschatological positions. But seeing as how they (apostles and prophets) viewed themselves as being at the end of all things, how much closer to the Lord’s …

Where Do You Go for Advice?

by

1 Timothy 4:4-104 For every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused, if it be received with thanksgiving:5 For it is sanctified by the word of God and prayer.6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.8 For bodily exercise profiteth little: but godliness is profitable unto all things, having promise of the life that now is, and …

Faithbook

by

Dr. Mike Murphy “Our church does not have anything to do with social media.  There is just so much out there on it, I do not feel comfortable with our church being a part of it.  And if we were, people might come to our site who disagree with our faith.”These words were spoken to me by the pastor of a very large church.  A church well known in their community, that has long-standing ties in the community.  A church that is often found holding special events within the community.

Esther 2:19-4:1419 And when the virgins were gathered together the second time, then Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate. 20 Esther had not yet made known her kindred nor her people; as Mordecai had charged her: for Esther did the commandment of Mordecai, like as when she was brought up with him. 21 In those days, while Mordecai was sitting in the king’s gate, two of the king’s chamberlains, Bigthan and Teresh, of those that kept the threshold, were wroth, and sought to lay hands on the king Ahasuerus. 22 And the thing became known to Mordecai, who showed …

The Old Testament is Christ concealed. The New Testament is Christ revealed.

by

“The Revelation and Testimony of Jesus Christ” Revelation 1:1-2An in-depth study of the book of Revelation is no simple matter. How grateful we should be that God gave us Revelation?! But I can tell you Satan is not. He hates this book, for it reveals his downfall and gives believers a hope that is steadfast and sure.We would do well to look carefully at what the Bible says about “those things that will be hereafter,” for false prophets seek to profit, charlatans concoct predictions, and “ministers” pridefully promote themselves with doomsday warnings.During any study of Revelation, keep these truths in mind:Satan Hates …
