To get a plentiful crop of spiritual fruit, the Lord sometimes acts as a pruning force in people’s lives. John 15:1-4 15 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. 3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you. 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can …
Reflections From the Psalms For thou, Lord, will bless the righteous; with favor wilt thou compass him as with a shield. (Ps. 5:12) The OT is a type and shadow of Jesus Christ. The NT is Christ Himself – “Christ in us, the hope of glory.” (Col. 1:27) The Psalms often give us a prophetic revelation – in type and shadow – of the Person of Jesus Christ. In this Psalm, there is reference to, “the righteous.” This is a reference only to Jesus Christ – for other than Christ, “none is righteous, no, not one.” By extension, it is …
Isaiah 40:31 “But those who wait on the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.” ____________________________________________________________ I can still remember the first time I saw an airplane takeoff. It was at a small airport in Orange County near the coast. That little airport had just one simple runway, no control tower, and no fence to keep people out, so I took full advantage of getting as close as I possibly could to the planes. I sat down in the grass and …
In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the last two aspects of the 75 day interval. The last one is the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. This event inaugurates the Messianic Kingdom. The Ancient Jewish Wedding is described which opens the door to understanding the relationship that the Lord Jesus has to His Church. We are indeed The Bride of Christ.
Reflections One of the greatest errors among Christian people is the notion that sanctification is the result of God acting upon us to make us, “look like Jesus” — or that sanctification is the result of US building in ourselves a Christ-likeness. No. Both are error. WE will never, “look like Jesus.” Rather, WE are to come under the work of the Cross so that the Christ who dwells in us might be made manifest through us. Note the distinction – this is not US looking like Jesus. It is Jesus manifested through us. Paul said, “I am crucified with …

Are you ready to hear “Behold the Bridegroom cometh”? Adrian Rogers describes the Who, what, when and why of Jesus’ exciting return for His own.
Through Jesus Christ, the heavenly Father has provided the way for us to walk intimately with Him Genesis 5:21-24 21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: 22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: 23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: 24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him. Enoch had such a close walk with the Lord that Scripture says, “and he was not, for God took him” (Gen. 5:24). This means …
Reflections “Repent and believe,” were the first three words of the gospel, coming from John the Baptist, and then Jesus. (see Mark 1:15) Indeed, they capture that which is necessary to be saved. Ask: Repent of what? Repent primarily of the sin of unbelief – repent of the sin of not believing. Since Jesus already died for all of my sin, then the one sin that can keep me from Him is the sin of refusing to come to Him. Thus, the one sin we must repent of in order to come to Jesus is this same sin of neglecting …
Reflections From the Psalms Blessed is the man that walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful. But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night. (Ps. 1:1-2) Christ in us, the hope of glory, (Col. 1:27) is the essence of Christianity. Thus, God has given us an infallible counselor in His Son – who dwells in believers through the Spirit. “For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: …
Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him The name which is above every name, 10 that at The name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.” Philippines 2:9-11, Acts 4:12
What a veil is lifted up by these words, and what a disclosure is made! It will be humbling and profitable for us to pause awhile and see this sad sight. The iniquities of our public worship, its hypocrisy, formality, lukewarmness, irreverence, wandering of heart and forgetfulness of God, what a full measure have we there! Our work for the Lord, its emulation, selfishness, carelessness, slackness, unbelief, what a mass of defilement is there! Our private devotions, their laxity, coldness, neglect, sleepiness, and vanity, what a mountain of dead earth is there! If we looked more carefully we should find …
Reflections Ephesians 6:10-14 (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, …
