THE PRICE OF PRAYERLESSNESS

by

Isaiah 40:28-31 (KJV)28 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:31 But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not …

When God Died

by

Romans 5:6“When we were utterly helpless, Christ came at just the right time and died for us sinners.” _____________________________________________________________Failure, suffering and the pain that comes with human life are something that we naturally seek to avoid at all cost as none of us voluntarily sign-up for hardship and/or rejection. So why is it that we read in the gospels that Jesus, not only came to earth by God’s design, but came in order to suffer, knowing that He would be rejected? He came with the desire to associate with us in our human condition, but why? What would cause this holy …

Jews Must Never Be Afraid to Use Their Well-Earned Power

That false claim – dating back to times and places where Jews had little or no influence – is an anti-Semitic trope that tells us more about the anti-Semites who invoke […]

Leading Someone to Yeshua

by

The famous hymn “Amazing Grace” contains this line: “I once was lost, but now I am found.” As many know, this hymn was written by slave trader-turned pastor John Newton. What some may not know is that he was a sea captain. In his day, the prospect of being lost at sea was indeed very real. The ability to determine latitude (how far north or south one is in relation to the equator) was relatively easy, but to determine longitude (how far east or west one is in relation to his point of departure) was rather difficult and fraught with the …

Spiritual Counterfeits

by

Reflections When the government trains people to spot counterfeit currency, they don’t spend all of their time studying the various counterfeits – although that is included as a secondary focus. The primary tool for training is genuine currency. If a person is thoroughly acquainted with genuine currency they will be able to spot a counterfeit in a moment. The genuine article for a believer is the Person of Jesus Christ. If we know HIM, we will know what is OF Him. And we will also recognize a counterfeit. Indeed, if we know Him, this will even enable us to understand …

“Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.”—Matthew 26:56.

by

“Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled.”—Matthew 26:56. HE never deserted them, but they in cowardly fear of their lives, fled from Him in the very beginning of His sufferings. This is but one instructive instance of the frailty of all believers if left to themselves; they are but sheep at the best, and they flee when the wolf cometh. They had all been warned of the danger, and had promised to die rather than leave their Master; and yet they were seized with sudden panic, and took to their heels. It may be, that I, at the opening …

Pick a Pack of Proper Preppers

by

Steve Schmutzer I leaned back in my chair and watched as my friend carefully lifted out his new stock Remington 700 .308 from its case. He laid the rifle on his lap and fondly caressed its barrel. “I can take out a bad guy from a quarter mile away with this sucker,” he said. “If I put a Leupold scope on it, it’s a guaranteed kill.” I was confused. “How do you know they are a ‘bad guy’ if they’re that far away?” “I’ll know,” he murmured. I was unconvinced. “Doesn’t the right to use a gun for self-defense end …

“Yeshua could not have been Messiah

by

“Yeshua could not have been Messiah—he touched leprous and unclean, dead bodies. In doing so, He became I pure under the Mosaic Law; therefore, He did not perfectly keep the Mosaic Law and cannot be the Messiah.” Response: The fact that Yeshua touched lepers and unclean bodies does not disqualify Him from Messiahship. In fact, there is a rabbinic teaching concerning the “Leper Messiah,” based on Isaiah 53:4. According to Raphael Patai, an anthropologist specializing in the field of Hebrew myth and history, the name of the Messiah connected to Isaiah 53:4 is “The Leprous of the House of Study.”(The …

Ezekiel 37:15‑28 A modified version of and exposition by Dr. Arnold Fruchtenbaum’s original Messianic Bible Study.

by

Ezekiel 37:15‑17In verse 15, the word of Jehovah comes to Ezekiel and a new prophecy is announced in verse 16. Ezekiel’s instructions are twofold: first, he is to take one stick, and write upon it, For Judah, and for the children of Israel his companions. The phrase the children of Israel included the tribes that were allied with Judah: Benjamin and Simeon. Here, the words his companions refer to Judah’s companions. The first stick represents the Kingdom of Judah. Next, Ezekiel is instructed to take another stick, and write upon it, For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and for all the …

The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.” (2 Tim 2:16-19,

by

Paul Kocourek‎ toBible Prophecy and Grace I was teaching adult Sunday School on this passage and saw something I had not seen before. 16 But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, 17 and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus, 18 men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and they upset the faith of some. 19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the …
