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 …

Reflections Because He First Loved Us We love him, because he first loved us. (I John 4:19) Read in the Bible the many commands to love one another. Then try to do it. You might want to do it. That is good. And you might convince yourself for awhile that you have succeeded. But you cannot do it. You cannot love with the agape love of God. The best you will muster up a human love. Indeed, the commandment to love one another has often been turned into just another LAW by some Christians – something we must do to …

One day God will restore and glorify our bodies, and we’ll be reunited with Jesus and loved ones Our Glorious Hope 1 Corinthians 15:20 – 15:58 20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept. 21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. 24 Then [cometh] the end, when …

Art thou mourning over thine own corruptions?

“They took Jesus, and led him away.” John 19:16 He had been all night in agony, he had spent the early morning at the hall of Caiaphas, he had been hurried from Caiaphas to Pilate, from Pilate to Herod, and from Herod back again to Pilate; he had, therefore, but little strength left, and yet neither refreshment nor rest were permitted him. They were eager for his blood, and therefore led him out to die, loaded with the cross. O dolorous procession! Well may Salem’s daughters weep. My soul, do thou weep also. What learn we here as we see our …

Pete Garcia Most of us alive here in America tend to see the world with a western worldview.  This worldview works fine for everyday life, but can cause the average western believer consternation when trying to make sense of certain parts of the Scriptures.  All Scripture is giving by inspiration of God through the Holy Spirit (2 Tim 3:16), but what we fail to sometimes take into account, was that the men who physically wrote the Bible, were all from the Oriental world. The Old Testament was written almost entirely in Hebrew and with a small portion in Aramaic.  The …

I have been told that this is one of the clearest and most direct statements on the pre-trib rapture if the Greek is properly translated. But some tell me that the Bible never gives a clear statement on a pre-trib rapture. I’m confused.” ANSWER: You have asked one of the best questions on this subject. Remember that a lot of those teaching the Bible today do not …

The Invitation What will we be doing in the Millennium? By Jim Allen Do you ever wonder about the Millennium and what you will be doing during the 1,000-year reign of Christ? I do. In fact, most do from time-to-time. But, along with wondering come the questions: What will we look like? What will we think? What power will we be given to serve the King of Kings? Even though the Apostle Paul wrote we are new creations in Christ, we struggle to know what that means (2 Corinthians 5:17). We are yet unglorified, undone, imperfect, and hidden away in …
