Psalm 34 34 I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; The humble shall hear of it and be glad. 3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me, And let us exalt His name together. 4 I sought the Lord, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears. 5 They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces were not ashamed. 6 This poor man cried out, and the Lord heard him, And saved him out of all his …
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 …
Jack Kinsella The question has been asked so many times that has morphed from a question into a challenge; “How can a merciful and loving God condemn people to eternal torments in hell?” The question is not just posed by atheists and skeptics, but also by some sincere, but woefully uneducated Christians. The argument has some merit on the surface. God is love. All men are created with a sin nature. Since, by definition and design, all men are sinners and our Creator God is love, it logically follows that a loving God who created sinners would be unjust in …

Do you have a minute for the Bible? In Ephesians chapter 2 we see something critical about our salvation. Verses 1-3 describe fallen humanity’s place before God as being: “Dead in Trespasses and sins.” Watch this video on YouTube
Focus, self-examination, and vigilance will protect us from blending in with the ways of the world ROMANS 12:2 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Today’s verse outlines the commitment and steps necessary in developing a godly lifestyle. Paul was urgently warning believers not to be conformed to the patterns of the world. Our susceptibility to compromise is one of the greatest dangers in the church today. Through ungodly relationships …
BEHOLD the epitaph of all those blessed saints who fell asleep before the coming of our Lord! It matters nothing how else they died, whether of old age, or by violent means; this one point, in which they all agree, is the most worthy of record, “they all died in faith.” In faith they lived—it was their comfort, their guide, their motive and their support; and in the same spiritual grace they died, ending their life-song in the sweet strain in which they had so long continued. They did not die resting in the flesh or upon their own attainments; …
The Lord God now appeared to Jacob for a fourth direct revelation. He told him to , Arise, go up to Beth-el, and dwell there. He also told him to make there an altar unto God. It was there that he fled from Esau and where the Abrahamic Covenant was confirmed to him. Jacob had been in Shechem for ten years. This was not how he should have complied with the solemn vow he made to God (Genesis 28: 20-22) to return to Bethel his father’s home. The tragic incident with Dinah’s rape was probably the consequence of his failure …
Why couldn’t they have heard from God themselves? Why were they not speaking to God directly on their own behalf… NUMBERS 9:8 _____________________________________________ “And Moses said to them, ‘Stand still, that I may hear what the LORD will command concerning you.’ “ Among the children of Israel there were those who had become defiled because they had touched a corpse. The touching of a corpse rendered a man unclean and unable to fellowship with God or His people. The message that God was sending to Israel was that they were to steer clear of anything that suggested death and decay. …
Proverbs 16:7 “When a man’s ways please the LORD, he maketh even his enemies to be at peace with him.” Think of David, the young musician, tending his father’s sheep back on the hills of Judea many centuries ago. He was a self-taught, gifted musician. He didn’t go on tour, trying to make a name for himself. Instead, he sang to the sheep. He had no idea that someday his lyrics would find their way into the psalter or would be the very songs that have inspired and comforted millions of people through long and dark nights. David didn’t seek …
We can better represent Christ in the world when we exchange our desires for His. ROMANS 12:1 1 Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. The apostle Paul lived in an age when sensuality, the pursuit of pleasure, and rebellion against the Lord were prevalent. In response, he wrote letters urging Christians not to follow in the ways of the world. Like those early believers, we are to pursue godliness by… Presenting our bodies to God. Our total …
LO, the flowery month is come! March winds and April showers have done their work, and the earth is all bedecked with beauty. Come my soul, put on thine holiday attire and go forth to gather garlands of heavenly thoughts. Thou knowest whither to betake thyself, for to thee “the beds of spices” are well known, and thou hast so often smelt the perfume of “the sweet flowers,” that thou wilt go at once to thy well-beloved and find all loveliness, all joy in Him. That cheek once so rudely smitten with a rod, oft bedewed with tears of …
Dr. Mike Murphy I cannot even begin to imagine what those forty days must have been like for Caleb. To have seen with his own eyes everything the Lord had promised. To have tasted the milk and honey the Lord had told them flowed from the land. To have seen grape bunches so large it took two men to carry them. Every word the Lord had promised, his eyes had just seen. But as he returned to their camp in Kadesh with the other eleven scouts, his ears must have deceived him. The words he heard spoken did not match …
1 Peter 1:3-9(KJV) 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, 5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: 7 That the trial …
