PERSEVERING THROUGH SILENCE

When God is silent, keep on praying Job 23:16-17 (KJV)16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face. God always has a purpose for being silent. I learned this lesson—and its corollary—in college. One day during my senior year, I prepared to pray over a situation that would impact my future. But as I got on my knees, I felt as if God was suddenly gone. For three days and nights, His presence seemed miles away. The fourth evening, …

LET THE SPIRIT CONTROL YOUR MIND

The longer we are Spirit-led, the greater our strength will be in the battle for our thought lives Romans 8:5-85 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.6 For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace.7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be.8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. A spiritual battle rages for …

The Necessity for a Savior

For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. (Rom. 5:19) The necessity for a Savior is predicated upon the fact that man, as a race, is spiritually dead – and that there is nothing he can do to save himself. This is why where the sin nature of man is denied, the Truth of the Savior and His Redemption is always distorted. Such error is even possible among those who profess Christ. Paul wrote: “I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by …

The Ruin of Rebellion

We reap what we sow, and rebellion against God will result in a form of slavery. Galatians 6:7-107 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.10 As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of …

Lo, I am with you alway.” Matthew 28:20

The Lord Jesus is in the midst of his church; he walketh among the golden candlesticks; his promise is, “Lo, I am with you alway.” He is as surely with us now as he was with the disciples at the lake, when they saw coals of fire, and fish laid thereon and bread. Not carnally, but still in real truth, Jesus is with us. And a blessed truth it is, for where Jesus is, love becomes inflamed. Of all the things in the world that can set the heart burning, there is nothing like the presence of Jesus! A glimpse …

For God So Loved

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. (John 3:16-17) The most often quoted verse in the Bible contains the whole of the gospel, and in it, is revealed the heart of God. The motive of God in giving us Christ was love. Jesus Christ came to SAVE us from our sins – not condemn us for our sins. But you …

WHILE WE WERE YET SINNERS

By Fred Trokie Do you ever feel as though you were failing in your walk with Jesus Christ and your relationship with God the Father. I have. There have been times when I have said “what’s the use?” Every time I would get up, something else would knock me back down. Do you ever feel that way? If you are viewing your salvation from the perspective of the flesh, you will find yourself being frustrated and always discourage. The flesh is always in opposition to God’s Spirit. Galatians 5:17 says:For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the …

The Most Ironic Story Ever Told – by Jack Kinsella

The story of the Virgin Birth, sinless life and blameless death of Jesus Christ, an itinerant Jewish preacher from the Judean village of Nazareth is often and rightly called “the Greatest Story Ever Told.” What makes it great is its theme. A Child born to a young Jewish virgin and (as was supposed) a Jewish laborer of low estate Whose birth is announced by angels. “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” (Luke 2:11) The Child is the Son of God, come to bear the sins of the …

What Is The Gospel?

By Dr. Harry Ironside (1876-1951) “Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; by which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures” (1st Corinthians 15:1-4). It might seem almost a work of …
