Biblical Teachings

Many times we choose self-reliance over trusting God. But following the His guidance is a much better way to live WALKING WITH GREATER CONFIDENCE Hebrews 11:1-31 (KJV) 11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. 2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 3 Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. 4 By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness …

I want to live my life for God. How do I do that? Living for God is not a matter of following a set of rules. God commanded the Israelites to follow a system of sacrifices, but Samuel said to Saul, “Has the LORD as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the LORD?Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to listen than the fat of rams” (1 Samuel 15:22). In order for us to live for God, we must know what He wants. Jesus, in His High Priestly prayer during His Upper …

A Candy Cane For Christmas Dr. Mike Murphy From his lap, you could see how the town had grown, how the world had progressed, and how our society had changed. For twenty-six years he had filled Santa’s chair each Christmas season at the local department store. He had watched as the faces had grown, and how so many of those faces now placed children in his lap that had similar faces.He loved every chance he got to don the familiar red suit. To get into character, and watch as the children’s eyes would light up, and a smile would come to …

Now after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, wise men from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, ‘Where is He who has been born King of the Jews? For we saw His star in the east and have come to worship Him.’” – Matthew 2:1-2 These “wise men from the east” were astrologers from Babylon who specialised in the studies of the stars, both science and superstition. The Bible never refers to them as kings, nor how many there were. At least two because it’s plural, but there were enough of them …

God loves us—everything He does is out of love—and it has nothing to do with who we are GOD’S LOVING DESIRE FOR YOU 1 Timothy 2:1-8 (KJV) 2 I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;2 For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.5 …

Excerpts from CHRISTOLOGY: THE DOCTRINE OF MESSIAHBy Dr. Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum. A. Concerning Some Common Christmas Practices. Around Christmas time on church lawns, in front of church pulpits or podiums, and in front of private homes, nativity sets are displayed. All nativity sets tend to look somewhat the same. There is a building that represents a barn, though no Jewish person living in first century Israel would have recognized it as such. In front of this barn, or perhaps inside of it, are three people: Jesus, Mary, and Joseph. Jesus is either in a manger or on Mary’s lap. On …

The message and meaning of Christmas is unique among all other celebrations and holidays. When you strip away the commercialism, revisionism and all the other “isms” connected to Christmas, it really comes down to being all about one mission and one Name. In what has become known as the Greatest Story ever told, the Bible records the very reason why Jesus Christ came to earth. Having been born as a helpless babe, Jesus came to suffer a criminal’s death upon the Cross as a sacrifice for us in our place. So what is to be the message in all of this? …

With Christ’s strength, we can be content in any difficulty God allows in our life. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure.8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, …

Good Morning! The cheerful girl with bouncy golden curls was almost five. Waiting with her mother at the checkout stand, she saw them: a circle of glistening white pearls in a pink foil box. “Oh please, Mommy. Can I have them? Please, Mommy, please!”Quickly the mother checked the back of the little foil box and then looked back into the pleading blue eyes of her little girl’s upturned face. “A dollar ninety-five. That’s almost $2.00. If you really want them, you can save enough money to buy them for yourself. Your birthday’s only a week away and you might get …

And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. (Genesis 3:15) This is the first promise to fallen man. It contains the whole gospel and the essence of the covenant of grace. It has been in great measure fulfilled. The seed of the woman, even our Lord Jesus, was bruised in His heel, and a terrible bruising it was. How terrible will be the final bruising of the serpent’s head! This was virtually done when Jesus took away sin, vanquished death, and …
