The Sabbath: A Christian Biblical Perspective

By Daniel E. Woodhead, Ph.D  The word Sabbath as a  direct command, first appears in Scripture in Exodus. It is first stated during the narrative of the story of the Jews who were traveling from Elim to Sinai. It would be at Sinai where they would receive the Law from God after leaving the four hundred year captivity in Egypt.   Exodus 16: 23 And he said unto them, This is that which Jehovah hath spoken, Tomorrow is a solemn rest, a holy sabbath unto Jehovah: bake that which ye will bake, and boil that which ye will boil; and all …

The Religious Leaders Plot To Kill Jesus

Mark 14:1-2 1After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. 2 But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people (KJV). The events of Passover week had transpired to the point where Jesus was preparing for His sacrifice on the Passover thereby giving His life for the world’s people. While His sacrifice would be available to the entire population of the earth it would only be effective to those who …

Heeding Hurricane Irma’s Warnings but NOT Heeding the Coming Day of the Lord!

As hurricane Irma (the most powerful recorded Atlantic hurricane) crawls along at 16 miles per hour on its way to Florida, Floridians – who are heeding the warnings – are preparing and bracing for this monster with much zeal to the best of their abilities. Panic, dread and fear of the unknown are rightly motivating Floridians to prepare, embrace and act as the clock ticks to Irma arrival. Only a fool would pretend that Hurricane Irma is not real and be caught ill prepared to bunker down for this coming storm of devastation! The warning signs and precise evidence of this coming hurricane are …

When God Seems Absent

Esther 6:12-14 12 And Mordecai came again to the king’s gate. But Haman hasted to his house mourning, and having his head covered. 13 And Haman told Zeresh his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Zeresh his wife unto him, If Mordecai be of the seed of the Jews, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against him, but shalt surely fall before him. 14 And while they were yet talking with him, came the king’s chamberlains, and hasted to bring Haman unto the banquet …

By His Matchless Grace are We Saved

OUR SALVATION IS STRICTLY GIVEN BY THE GRACE OF GOD   Ephesians 2: 1 And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins; Unregenerate people are dead spiritually and therefore like the physically dead are unable to communicate with the living God. The spiritually living are those who have been born again and are connected to God. They have been made alive by believing the gospel and receiving the Holy Spirit. Interestingly God says, “You will seek Me and find Me when ye shall search for me with all your heart” (Deuteronomy 4:29; Jeremiah 29:13; Psalm 14:2; Isaiah 55:6-7 …

The Heart of Our Faith

Galatians 2:15-16 15 We who are Jews by nature, and not sinners of the Gentiles, 16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Paul believed nothing merited his boasting more than the cross (Gal. 6:14). He had good reason to think so: God’s entire plan of salvation hangs upon two …

Our Position in Christ 

By Jim Allen Have you ever tried to imagine how you can be in fellowship with Christ one minute and in a squabble the next? How is it possible to switch back and forth between two natures with such ease? Or are we in both natures at the same time? What divine mechanism is at work to split the mind between two realities, causing confusion and struggle one minute and joy and the assurance of God’s love the next? Before going much further, look at the drawing. The real you in the drawing is split between two kingdoms. You know it …

“Fear not the storm”

“Fear not the storm, it brings healing in its wings, and when Jesus is with you in the vessel the tempest only hastens the ship to its desired haven.” “I, the preacher of this hour, beg to bear my witness that the worst days I have ever had have turned out to be my best days, and when God has seemed most cruel to me, he has then been most kind. If there is anything in this world for which I would bless him more than for anything else, it is for pain and affliction. I am sure that in these …

Diffusiveness Of Life

Rivers of living water. — John 7:38 A river touches places of which its source knows nothing, and Jesus says if we have received of His fulness, however small the visible measure of our lives, out of us will flow the rivers that will bless to the uttermost parts of the earth. We have nothing to do with the outflow – “This is the work of God that ye believe. . . .” God rarely allows a soul to see how great a blessing He is. A river is victoriously persistent, it overcomes all barriers. For a while it goes …

Seek Those Things Which Are Above, Sept. 3, 2017

Listen and watch my recent message from my UK ministry tour “Seek Those Things Which Are Above”, Sept. 3, 2017. Crazy things are happening all around the world: Wars, rumors of wars, earthquakes and other weather related disasters. However, our hope and our future as believers is completely detached from it all if we set our eyes and seek the things which are above! Tune in and share! Watch this video on YouTube  

Philippians 2:15 15 That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world;

  WE use lights to make manifest. A Christian man should so shine in his life, that a person could not live with him a week without knowing the gospel. His conversation should be such that all who are about him should clearly perceive whose he is, and whom he serves; and should see the image of Jesus reflected in his daily actions. Lights are intended for guidance. We are to help those around us who are in the dark. We are to hold forth to them the Word of life. We are to point sinners to the Saviour, and …
