The Answer – by Hal Lindsey
Frustration… rage… condemnation… confusion… fear.… To many, it feels like we’re in the middle of a massive and growing storm with a funnel cloud forming in the sky above our heads. Temper tantrums — with stomping feet, held breath, pointed fingers, and raised fists — are not the answer. But there is an answer… and He has a name. Jesus. Jesus was a Man of perfect humility. He’s the One who said, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5 NKJV). But He was also perfectly honest about His identity as God the Son sent from …
God with us—not in heaven, not out of touch or out of reach
He takes my nature that He may descend to me;He gives me His nature that I may ascend to Him.-Octavius Winslow God with us—not in heaven, not out of touch or out of reach, not a shadow, not a legend or a myth; God with us in grace, in truth, in mercy; God with us in human flesh, touchable, seeable, knowable.Love breathing, love giving, love caring, love dying. Walking where we walk, crying our tears, knowing our pain, feeling our grief, bearing our sorrows. John 1:14(KJV)14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory …
Is Jesus God in the flesh?
Question: “Is Jesus God in the flesh? Why is it important that Jesus is God in the flesh?” Answer: Since Jesus’ conception by the Holy Spirit in the womb of the virgin Mary (Luke 1:26-38), the real identity of Jesus Christ has always been questioned by skeptics. It began with Mary’s fiancé, Joseph, who was afraid to marry her when she revealed that she was pregnant (Matthew 1:18-24). He took her as his wife only after the angel confirmed to him that the child she carried was the Son of God. Hundreds of years before the birth of Christ, the prophet Isaiah foretold …
If you can lose your salvation, then what must you do to keep it?
by Matt Slick If it is possible to lose your salvation, then what must you do in order to keep it? I’ve asked this question many times of those who deny eternal security and have received different responses. But they all, essentially, can be categorized into two areas: “Remain faithful,” and “Be obedient.” Whichever position is taken, both are dependent upon man’s faithfulness and ability. Now, I am trying to be careful here in drawing conclusions because I do not want to be mistaken in how I represent the “other” side. But I cannot help but wonder that if our salvation …
OBEDIENCE AND DISCIPLINE
PSALM 30:5__________________________________________ “For His anger is but for a moment, His favor is for life; weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning.” How can one refuse the love of God? Over his lifetime, the psalmist David learned a great deal about the power of God to protect and deliver. During his career as Israel’s general, he learned that the Lord would sometimes use the hosts of heaven to bring about impossible victories, but David also learned that there was something even greater than powerful miracles; there was the reality of a personal relationship with the Almighty …
Question: “What is the definition of grace?”
Answer: The gospel message is the good news of God’s grace, so it is important to know what grace is and to constantly seek to get a better view of what grace does in our lives. Grace is an essential part of God’s character. Grace is closely related to God’s benevolence, love, and mercy. Grace can be variously defined as “God’s favor toward the unworthy” or “God’s benevolence on the undeserving.” In His grace, God is willing to forgive us and bless us abundantly, in spite of the fact that we don’t deserve to be treated so well or dealt …
The Passion to Serve Him
2 Corinthians 11:22-3122 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.23 Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one.25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep;26 In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in …
A lot like Lot
by Pete Garcia– Like many of you, I have grown increasingly uncomfortable living in a nation where so much evil is blissfully ignored and tolerated on a daily basis. Wickedness, perversity, debauchery, violence, occultism, transgenderism, homosexuality, and all the rest have seemingly become the new normal. Everything is permissible in today’s America, so long as it is not […]
