Christ Lives in Us

by

Reflections I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain. (Gal. 2:20-21) Many professing Christians walk as if CHRIST IN US is nothing more than some power to keep God’s law. Many believe we are kept righteous by the works Jesus Christ does through …

Walking With Christ

by

COLOSSIANS 1:10-12 10 so that you will walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, to please Him in all respects, bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 strengthened with all power, according to His glorious might, for the attaining of all steadfastness and patience; joyously 12 giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified us to share in the inheritance of the saints in Light. The pathway of faith has divine purpose, and we’re to obey the Lord, no matter what. But even when God’s direction is perplexing, we can count on …

A New Life

by

2 Corinthians 10:5 “…casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ…” In Chapter 8 of the book of John, we are told of a woman who was caught in the act of adultery. The Pharisees came with the woman in tow and began asking Jesus what should be done to her. They knew that the law said that she should be stoned to death, but they asked Him nonetheless. Jesus then stooped down and began to write in the sand. They continued to …

Give Diligence

by

2 Peter 1:5-6 5 And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6 And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; If thou wouldest enjoy the eminent grace of the full assurance of faith, under the blessed Spirit’s influence, and assistance, do what the Scripture tells thee, “Give diligence.” Take care that thy faith is of the right kind–that it is not a mere belief of doctrine, but a simple faith, depending on Christ, and on Christ alone. Give diligent heed to thy courage. Plead with God that he …

Genesis Message 35 – The Call of Abraham

by

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses a major division in the book of Genesis and the whole Bible as well. This new section begins to expose God’s next major step in the development of His plan for all mankind, the call of Abram. This Toldot traces the line from Shem, Noah’s son to Abraham, which is ten generations. It concludes with Terah’s three sons Abram, Nahor, and Haran. It also mentions the nephew of the seed-son, Lot. In chapter ten, the genealogy of Shem explained how they came to be scattered around the earth. Here the line is focused on …

A man is either dead or alive

by

“The new birth is the dividing line between heaven and hell. In God’s sight there are but two classes of people; those who are dead in sins, and those who are walking in newness of life. A man is either dead or alive. We are either saints (true believers) or sinners, spiritually alive or spiritually dead, children of God or children of the devil (1 John 3:10). In view of this solemn fact, how momentous is the question, ‘Have I been born again?’ If not, and you die in your present state, you will wish you had never been born …

It Pays To Wait 

by

Psalm 37:9 “…but those who wait on the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.”  _____________________________________________________________ We all hate to wait. However, God has promised to use waiting for our good. Throughout the Scriptures we are instructed to wait on the Lord. For example, Noah had to wait 120 years before he saw the justice of God. Abraham needed to wait to see the promise of God fulfilled. Moses also waited for God’s deliverance of His people from both Egypt and their wilderness wanderings. The prophets of old had to wait to see the fulfillment of God’s declarations. As Christians, we too …

Genesis Message 34 – The Tower of Babel

by

Man was made by God out of the creation (earth) and as such had a need for Him. When Satan deceived Eve and Adam directly disobeyed God they both were cast out of Eden and from God’s immediate presence. The need for God our creator did not dissolve with our first parent’s sin and subsequent break of fellowship with God. However, that need is often misdirected when we turn away from God and seek our own good, direction and leadership. Nimrod, who enslaved the populace to build the Tower of Babel, knew as all tyrants know, that you cannot subdue people …

Joseph’s Place in the Family – The Dreamer   Genesis 37: 2-4 2These are the generations of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brethren; and he was a lad with the sons of Bilhah, and with the sons of Zilpah, his father’s wives: and Joseph brought the evil report of them unto their father. 3Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age: and he made him a coat of many colors. 4And his brethren saw that their father loved him more than all his brethren; and …

The Holy Spirit: Filling the Believer

by

When we refuse to submit to the Holy Spirit in every area of our life, we limit His work in and through us. Ephesians 5:15-21 15 Look therefore carefully how ye walk, not as unwise, but as wise; 16 redeeming the time, because the days are evil. 17 Wherefore be ye not foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And be not drunken with wine, wherein is riot, but be filled with the Spirit; 19 speaking one to another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody with your heart to the Lord; …
