Replacement Theology Undone By One Greek Word In Galatians 6:16

By ONE FOR ISRAEL (Messianic Jews In Israel) Sometimes just a small detail coming to light can totally change our understanding of a situation. Over the millennia, Bible scholars have scratched their heads over things that seem obvious to us now with hindsight. Today, it is not hard for us to fathom how everyone in the world could witness the same event simultaneously, for example. The “explosion in knowledge” and great “increase in people traveling to and fro” that Daniel the prophet wrote of (Daniel 12:4) now makes perfect sense with the development of the internet and air travel. And for …

DON’T BE ANXIOUS

All the current world’s events seem to affirm that there is nothing we can do about it. Remember that God is in control and He has given us the formula as believers to help us. Philippians 4:6-7 6 Be careful (anxious) for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus (KJV). Here Paul gives us the formula for avoiding the anxiety of uncertainty that comes into our lives. This will …

Sit Down! Exodus 2:11–15 11 And it came to pass in those days, when Moses was grown, that he went out unto his brethren, and looked on their burdens: and he spied an Egyptian smiting an Hebrew, one of his brethren. 12 And he looked this way and that way, and when he saw that there was no man, he slew the Egyptian, and hid him in the sand. 13 And when he went out the second day, behold, two men of the Hebrews strove together: and he said to him that did the wrong, Wherefore smitest thou thy fellow? …

WHEN STORMS COME

WHEN STORMS COME   Matthew 14:22-33(KJV) 22 And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away. 23 And when he had sent the multitudes away, he went up into a mountain apart to pray: and when the evening was come, he was there alone. 24 But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. 25 And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea. 26 And …

Vertical then Horizontal

Reflections John 3:27 John answered and said, A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. This statement by John is a basic principle. Our relationship with God must be FIRST, and it will determine our relationship with everyone else. And the fact is, this is going to happen whether we realize it or not. This relationship between God and ourselves, and then, between ourselves and others, could be pictured in the following way: The basis for everything is our personal, one-on-one, VERTICAL relationship with God. God gives us all things freely from Himself down to us …

Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp.”—Hebrews 13:13.

Let us go forth therefore unto Him without the camp.”—Hebrews 13:13. JESUS, bearing His cross, went forth to suffer without the gate. The Christian’s reason for leaving the camp of the world’s sin and religion is not because he loves to be singular, but because Jesus did so; and the disciple must follow his Master. Christ was “not of the world:” His life and His testimony were a constant protest against conformity with the world. Never was such overflowing affection for men as you find in Him; but still He was separate from sinners. In like manner Christ’s people must …

2 Thessalonians 2:3 & the Rapture Prior to the Day of the Lord

J. Vernon McGee in Quotes by Christicommunity 2 Thessalonians 2:3 & the Rapture Prior to the Day of the Lord “There must be ‘a falling away first.’ Many have interpreted this to mean the apostasy, and I agree that it does refer to that. But I think it means more than that, as a careful examination of the word will reveal. The Greek word that is here translated as ‘falling away’ is apostasia. The root word actually means departure or removal from.’ Paul says that before the Day of the Lord begins there must first come a removing. There are two …

The Source of Abundant Joy

The Source of Abundant Joy By Oswald Chambers In all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us, (Romans 8:37). Paul was speaking here of the things that might seem likely to separate a saint from the love of God. But the remarkable thing is that nothing can come between the love of God and a saint! The things Paul mentioned in this passage can disrupt the close fellowship of our soul with God, but none of them is able to come between the love of God and the soul of a saint on the spiritual …
