Avoid That Slip

by

“Then shalt thou walk in thy way of safety, and thy foot shall not stumble” (Proverbs 3:23). That is to say, if we follow the ways of wisdom and holiness we shall be preserved in them. He who travels by daylight along the highway is under some protection. There is a way for every man, namely, his own proper calling in life, and if we devoutly walk therein in the fear of God He will preserve us from evil. We may not travel luxuriously, but we shall walk safely. We may not be able to run like young men, but we …

Ten Lepers Cleansed – Luke 17: 11-21

by

11 “While He was on the way to Jerusalem, He was passing between Samaria and Galilee. 12 As He entered a village, ten leprous men who stood at a distance met Him; 13 and they raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” 14 When He saw them, He said to them, “Go and show yourselves to the priests.” And as they were going, they were cleansed. 15 Now one of them, when he saw that he had been healed, turned back, glorifying God with a loud voice, 16 and he fell on his face at His feet, giving …

Getting Israel Right – by Steve Schmutzer

by

A pastor, an atheist, a Bible class teacher, and a businessman walked into a bar….You’re thinking this is the opening line of a joke, right? Wrong. I am the Bible class teacher, and before you get worked up about us being in a bar, it was the only part of the restaurant that had available seating. The lunch meeting was about a business matter. I knew all the parties, and I had made the introductions. There were mutual opportunities to provide some expertise. The meeting went well and the mood was relaxed. With the main agenda concluded, our conversations turned …

Sanctity of Life :: By Jim Towers

by

When God created mankind, He created mankind in His image with the ability to make decisions and to choose right or wrong and the direction of his or her life. Mankind has come a long way since the Garden of Eden, and it looks like the Serpent (Satan) is winning the battle for mankind’s souls. Satan’s final push is at hand, and he is pulling out all the stops by promoting infanticide. The Bible tells us that children are a gift from God. God gave us the capability to produce children to love and cherish – not to destroy. In …

Life From Death

by

Reflections If thou be the Son of God, come down from the cross. (Matt. 27:40) Natural thinking insists that in order to LIVE we must come down from our Cross. But the Truth is, in order to LIVE we must die on the Cross and be raised. Jesus said as much “Whoever would save His life will lose it. But whoever would lose His life for My sake will find it.” (Matt. 16:24) Grasp this Truth and your entire Christian life will be changed. You will stop asking God to help you save your life for yourself – you will …

Moses made an end of speaking.” Deuteronomy 32:45

by

So we all shall do some day. Moses knew it was the end for him; we may not know when our end is at hand. Any word of ours, spoken amid glee and merriment, may be our last!! If we always thought of this—would it not make us more careful? Would we ever say an unkind word to a friend, if we felt that we may never have an opportunity to unsay it or repent of it? Would we ever utter an angry, untrue, or unclean word—if we only remembered that it may be the last utterance our lips shall …

How Much Longer Lord? :: By Pete Garcia

by

I bet everyone reading this has asked God that very same question at least once or twice. How much longer will this current world-gone-mad continue? It feels like we are at the end, but then days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and months into years. But why then does last week, feel like last year? Why does last year, feel like last century? Everything seems to be speeding up, but at the same time, it never seems to culminate into anything tangible? What if 2018 comes and goes and we are still here? All the while, the world …

What Does It Mean to Be “Saved”?

by

We cannot make ourselves righteous, so Jesus offered His blood to pay our sin debt. Our part is to believe it. PsalmsChapter 25 1 (A Psalm of David.) Unto thee, O LORD, do I lift up my soul.2 O my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.3 Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.4 Shew me thy ways, O LORD; teach me thy paths.5 Lead me in thy truth, and teach me: for thou art the God of my salvation; …

Becoming Fit for Glory

by

“The LORD will give grace and glory” (Psalm 84:11). Grace is what we need just now, and it is to be had freely. What can be freer than a gift? Today we shall receive sustaining, strengthening, sanctifying, satisfying grace. He has given daily grace until now, and as for the future, that grace is still sufficient. If we have but little grace the fault most lie in ourselves; for the LORD is not straitened, neither is He slow to bestow it in abundance. We may ask for as much as we will and never fear a refusal. He giveth liberally …

“Ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.” Galatians 3:26

by

The fatherhood of God is common to all his children. Ah! Little-faith, you have often said, “Oh that I had the courage of Great-heart, that I could wield his sword and be as valiant as he! But, alas, I stumble at every straw, and a shadow makes me afraid.” List thee, Little-faith. Great-heart is God’s child, and you are God’s child too; and Great-heart is not one whit more God’s child than you are. Peter and Paul, the highly-favoured apostles, were of the family of the Most High; and so are you also; the weak Christian is as much a …

TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION

by

Everyone will spend eternity somewhere. Don’t put off securing yours in Jesus. Hebrews 3:7-197 Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice,8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years.10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways.11 So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.)12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in …

14 – The Throne Room of God

by

In the year that king Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and his train filled the temple (ASV, 1901). These passages in chapter six are officially the divine blessing of Isaiah’s prophetic ministry. Uzziah also referred to as Azariah reigned from 791–740 B.C. Uzziah took the throne […]
