Reflections Seeing God I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye sees You. Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. (Job 42:5-6) Here we find the reason for Job’s trial. He had not sinned against God – God Himself had called him a good and upright man, who loved good and hated evil. But no matter how much we are walking in the light, there is always more light. There is always more of Jesus to see. And suffering adjusts us for doing so. Job had apparently known much TRUE …

THE TABLE OF HEALING LUKE 22:7-20 7 Then came the first day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. 8 And Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare the Passover for us, so that we may eat it.” 9 They said to Him, Where do You want us to prepare it?” 10 And He said to them, When you have entered the city, a man will meet you carrying a pitcher of water; follow him into the house that he enters. 11 And you shall say to the owner of the house, `The …

03/23/2018 We are a unique generation. For almost two thousand years Christians have waited for Jesus to return but most alive today will actually see that fulfillment. We Christians can and should see the signs of the times. I think all will be (I erred on the side of caution in that 2050 article.) The Rapture occurs at least seven years sooner than the second coming. There probably is also a gap of a few years between the Rapture and the signing of the covenant that starts the final week of years for Israel. So let’s assume the time between the Rapture …

03/23/2018 The Taylor Force Act was signed into law on Mar. 23, as it was included in the $1.3 trillion spending bill to fund the government. President Trump officially signed the spending bill in a signing ceremony, stating that while he had multiple reservations about the overall bill, it needed to be signed for the defense spending. When the bill passed the Senate on Mar. 22, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), one of the authors of the Taylor Force Act, hailed the law as “one of the most significant pieces of legislation I’ve been involved with.” “The powerful message from the Force family, along with …

FEAR NOT! Psalm 46:1-2 (KJV) 46 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. 2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Proverbs 3:24-26 (KJV) 24 When thou liest down, thou shalt not be afraid: yea, thou shalt lie down, and thy sleep shall be sweet. 25 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. 26 For the Lord shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. 2 Timothy …

IN CHRIST ALONE   Lamentations 3:24 I say to myself, “The LORD is my portion; therefore I will wait for him.”   1 Timothy 4:9-10 This is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance (and for this we labor and strive), that we have put our hope in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, and especially of those who believe. He is my light, my strength, my song;   Exodus 15:1-2 Then Moses and the Israelites sang this song to the LORD : “I will sing to the LORD, for he is highly exalted. The horse …

And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed.” Matthew 26:39 There are several instructive features in our Saviour’s prayer in his hour of trial. It was lonely prayer. He withdrew even from his three favoured disciples. Believer, be much in solitary prayer, especially in times of trial. Family prayer, social prayer, prayer in the Church, will not suffice, these are very precious, but the best beaten spice will smoke in your censer in your private devotions, where no ear hears but God’s. It was humble prayer. Luke says he knelt, but another evangelist says he “fell …

Reflections Perplexity Before God Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat! I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with questions. I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me. (Job 23:3-5) This is Job in the midst of his great trial. He is seeking God for answers. He desires to know the reason for his suffering. But God is silent. In a trial, we think that if God simply explained Himself to us that we could believe. …

Feeling inadequate can actually be a blessing—if it drives us to the Lord and we let His strength work through us Inadequacy as a Blessing 2 Corinthians 3:1 – 3:6 1 Do we begin again to commend ourselves? or need we, as some [others], epistles of commendation to you, or [letters] of commendation from you? 2 Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men: 3 [Forasmuch as ye are] manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in …

Question: “Can a Christian ‘give back’ salvation?” Answer: The short answer to this question is, no, a true Christian cannot “give back” salvation. Oddly enough, some who agree that a Christian cannot “lose” his salvation still believe that salvation can be “given back” to God. Some who hold this viewpoint will take Romans 8:38-39 and say that while nothing outside of us can separate us from God, we ourselves can choose, in our free will, to separate ourselves from God. This is not only unbiblical; it defies all logic. To understand why it is not possible for us to “give …

Sugar Land Bible Church The Coming Kingdom 038 – Dr. Andy Woods – March 21, 2018 Revelation 21-22

LAMB OF GOD Jesus Christ, the lion who became a lamb, came to find and rescue us. Revelation 7:17 (KJV) 17 For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. Bumblebees and badgers, lions and skunks, black bears and beagles all have one thing in common: If threatened, they will sting, bite, spray, or maul you. But there’s this predictable trait about lambs: They never attack; instead, throughout history wolves and other predators have attacked them. …
