“Help, Lord.”—Psalm 12:1.

by

“Help, Lord.”—Psalm 12:1.   THE prayer itself is remarkable, for it is short, but seasonable, sententious, and suggestive. David mourned the fewness of faithful men, and therefore lifted up his heart in supplication—when the creature failed, he flew to the Creator. He evidently felt his own weakness, or he would not have cried for help; but at the same time he intended honestly to exert himself for the cause of truth, for the word “help” is inapplicable where we ourselves do nothing. There is much of directness, clearness of perception, and distinctness of utterance in this petition of two words; …

Churches Don’t Teach the Kingdom

by

Psalm 25:14 “The secret of the Lord is with them that fear Him; and He will show them His covenant “ (KJV). Because of this revelation given in Psalm 25:1 knowledge of the Kingdom is sorely lacking in the Church. With the apostasy, biblical ignorance, and assertive moral turpitude God has withdrawn from those who could be enlightened regarding the facts of His Theocratic Kingdom. As a result of this, the concept of the Kingdom has come to mean almost anything. Typically we see definitions such as: 1. Messiah’s spiritual reign during the Church Age. 2. The Gospel 3. A …

The problem with Christians who think they can lose their salvation

by

(The following was written by Anthony Todd:) The problem with Christians who think they can lose their salvation, is that they error in thinking that THEY (YOU) can maintain or keep their salvation; YOU CAN’T DO SO, that is why God SEALED YOU, making it impossible for you to lose your salvation no matter how often you fail or sin. If you could have lost your salvation, if you could break the seal, you would have lost your salvation a LONG TIME AGO (and according to how you people tend to wrongly interpret Hebrews 6:3-4, NEVER GET IT BACK)… If you …

SAVING FAITH

by

SAVING FAITH John 1:12-13 12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Yesterday we saw that belief in Jesus is the core of Christianity. Now let’s look at some implications of that saving faith. Knowledge of who Jesus is and what He did must be accompanied by confidence that the facts are true and apply to us. First, it’s …

Reverence vs. Being Afraid

by

Reflections   Reverence vs. Being Afraid   “The fear of the Lord,” as stated in the Bible, is never, “being afraid of the Lord.” Being afraid of God is the wrong kind of fear of God. The true, “fear of the Lord,” is a REVERENCE of God. All of the wrong kind of fear of God goes back to somewhere that I have embraced a lie about Him. The Truth about God is, “God is love.” Furthermore, “there is no fear in love.” (I Jn. 4:18) So there can be nothing about God that could make us afraid. Indeed, perfect …

Joseph, A Type of Christ

by

Joseph, A Type of Christ from Care for God’s Fruit-trees and other Messages by H. A. Ironside The story of Joseph as given in Genesis (chapters 37 to 50) is perennially fresh and delightful. Young and old alike revel in it. Looked at as an old-world picture of customs and people long-since vanished, there is a freshness and charm about it that stirs the heart and holds our attention in a remarkable way. But in studying Scripture there is not only the literal application, which is always important, but every part of the Word of God has a spiritual, typical, …

Understanding the Christian Life

by

It’s easier for new believers to start off well on the Christian journey when they grasp the true meaning of salvation Understanding the Christian Life GALATIANS 1:11-17 11 For I would have you know, brethren, that the gospel which was preached by me is not according to man. 12 For I neither received it from man, nor was I taught it, but I received it through a revelation of Jesus Christ. 13 For you have heard of my former manner of life in Judaism, how I used to persecute the church of God beyond measure and tried to destroy it; …

“And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.”—Genesis 21:6.

by

“And Sarah said, God hath made me to laugh, so that all that hear will laugh with me.”—Genesis 21:6. IT was far above the power of nature, and even contrary to its laws, that the aged Sarah should be honoured with a son; and even so it is beyond all ordinary rules that I, a poor, helpless, undone sinner, should find grace to bear about in my soul the indwelling Spirit of the Lord Jesus. I, who once despaired, as well I might, for my nature was as dry, and withered, and barren, and accursed as a howling wilderness, even …

Question: “What is the full armor of God?”

by

Ephesians 6:10-18 (KJV) 10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having …
