What Is Truth? Is Certainty Possible?

by

What Is Truth? Is Certainty Possible? By ONE FOR ISRAEL (Messianic Jews In Israel) In these times, “truth” is becoming a very debatable concept for some, and certainty is being treated with suspicion. But let’s be honest – is it even possible for anyone to know what is true? Many people know the famous verse, “And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free”, but not so many people are aware of the context of the verse, and critically, the sentence that is said directly before it… The Gospel of John chapter 8 holds many interesting interchanges on the …

The Privilege Corrupted

by

People turn to many idols, but only a relationship with God can satisfy our innate desire for worship The Privilege Corrupted ROMANS 1:21-32 21 For even though they knew God, they did not honor Him as God or give thanks, but they became futile in their speculations, and their foolish heart was darkened. 22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 23 and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures. 24 Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts …

Confidence To Believe!

by

Confidence To Believe!   Dr. Mike Murphy   I grabbed my keyboard, ready to jump in and help. We have all been there, seen someone on social media who placed themselves in the eye of the storm. Knowing that the attacks were getting ready to come at them from all sides, because of a comment or reply they have made. As I watched that day, I saw an older woman I knew speaking up to defend Christ.   Speaking up in the middle of a discussion where many were looking to do nothing but attack Christ, and the faith she …

In Awe of Him ” And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people, for he was standing above all the people; and when he opened it, all the people stood up.

“Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.” 1 Corinthians 7:20

by

“Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.” 1 Corinthians 7:20 Some persons have the foolish notion that the only way in which they can live for God is by becoming ministers, missionaries, or Bible women. Alas! how many would be shut out from any opportunity of magnifying the Most High if this were the case. Beloved, it is not office, it is earnestness; it is not position, it is grace which will enable us to glorify God. God is most surely glorified in that cobbler’s stall, where the godly worker, as he plies the awl, …

WHEN WE STUMBLE

by

WHEN WE STUMBLE How to Deal With Sin After Salvation By Charles F. Stanley Eternal security is the work of God in Christ that guarantees that the gift of salvation once received by faith is possessed forever and cannot be lost. Many people believe they are basically good, but according to the Lord’s standard, we are all sinners, and no one is good enough to be accepted into heaven. Good deeds can’t save us, and they won’t keep us saved. Although sin no longer fits our new identity in Christ, we’ll still sin at times. However, when we understand the …

The Privilege of Knowing God

by

God wants a relationship with each of us, and He reveals this desire in both nature and the human conscience The Privilege of Knowing God Psalms 19:1 – 19:6 1 (To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David.) The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. 2 Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3 [There is] no speech nor language, [where] their voice is not heard. 4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set …
