The Safest Place

by

“And I give unto them Eternal Life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of My hand” (John 10:28). We believe in the eternal security of the saints. First, because they are Christ’s, and He will never lose the sheep which He has bought with His blood and received of His Father. Next, because He gives them eternal life, and if it be eternal, well then, it is eternal, and there can be no end to hell, and heaven, and God. If spiritual life can die out, it is manifestly not eternal life, and that …

The Arrows of Life

by

1 Samuel 20:22 “But if I say thus to the young man, ‘Look, the arrows are beyond you’ – go your way, for the LORD has sent you away” ______________________________________________________ Like smoke signals sent by an Indian warrior atop a hill, so Jonathan sent David a message by the shooting of an arrow. King Saul had secretly planned to kill David so he had fled to a field for his life. As David hid in the grass, Jonathan was to launch arrows beyond David if he was in danger and he would then know to run for good. If however, …

Don’t Slack Off

by

Whatsoever ye shalt ask in My name, that will I do. — John 14:13 Am I fulfilling this ministry of the interior? There is no snare or any danger of infatuation or pride in intercession, it is a hidden ministry that brings forth fruit whereby the Father is glorified. Am I allowing my spiritual life to be frittered away, or am I bringing it all to one centre – the Atonement of my Lord? Is Jesus Christ more and more dominating every interest in my life? If the one central point, the great exerting influence in my life is the …

The Character of a Good Soldier

by

Our faith grows when we anchor ourselves in God’s power, extend His grace to others, and endure hardship in His name. 2 TIMOTHY 2:1-3 1 You therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2 The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, entrust these to faithful men who will be able to teach others also. 3 Suffer hardship with me, as a good soldier of Christ Jesus. In 1 Timothy 6:12, Paul calls on believers to “fight the good fight of faith.” Like first-century Christians, believers today are …

TOPIC: WHO IS A JEW (ISRAELOLOGY)?

by

QUESTION: “If I believe in Jesus Christ do I become a Jew? I have been told that if I believe in Jesus Christ I become a spiritual Jew and am a part of Israel. Is this true?” ANSWER: This is an excellent question, and it goes to the heart of an issue that has for too long created a lot of unnecessary conflict and confusion in the body of Christ. How we answer this goes to the root of our understanding how natural law and spiritual law merge together. First, we must remember that all humans originated from one man, …

The Free Gift of Grace

by

Reflections God doesn’t merely give us at THING called, “grace.” God gives grace in that He gives HIMSELF. Grace is really God’s heart attitude towards all — grace is an expression of LOVE. There is actually no basis upon which God deals with us today except grace and Truth in His Son. One of the greatest ironies of all is that God must bring us to the place where we can freely receive what He freely gives. So — rather than make us strong, He shows us we are weak. Rather than empower us to be good, He gives us …

I Have Learned… I Know… I Can Do… Through Christ by T. Austin-Sparks

by

“Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therein to be content. I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound: in everything and in all things have I learned the secret both to be filled and to be hungry, both to abound and to be in want. I can do all things in him that strengtheneth me” (Philippians 4:11-13). If there is one statement in Scripture that finds us out, it is this one. It was Paul who said it; but I wonder how many of us …

BE LIKE JESUS

by

1 JOHN 4:17 ________________________________________ “Love has been perfected among us in this: that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, so are we in this world. “ BE LIKE JESUS Try as you may, you cannot find a more influential person in all of human history who has affected mankind as much as Jesus Christ has and does. There are no religious founders among men who can boast of having brought to the world the compassion and care that Jesus has. None can say as He did, “…whoever lives and believes in Me shall never …

Heaven Can Wait? Is the Doctrine of Imminence still relevant? Part I

by

, Pete Garcia One would think that a key tenet of our faith in which all Christians could rally around, would be the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. After all, isn’t that what it means to be Christian? Or do we profess faith in a God we have no desire to ever meet? As mind boggling as it may seem, there are large sections of professing Christians who do not teach, preach, write, or even talk about our Lord’s soon return. The conundrum in our current reality, is that our Lord’s return has become a controversial and …

He that loveth not knoweth not God.” 1 John 4:8

by

The distinguishing mark of a Christian is his confidence in the love of Christ, and the yielding of his affections to Christ in return. First, faith sets her seal upon the man by enabling the soul to say with the apostle, “Christ loved me and gave himself for me.” Then love gives the countersign, and stamps upon the heart gratitude and love to Jesus in return. “We love him because he first loved us.” In those grand old ages, which are the heroic period of the Christian religion, this double mark was clearly to be seen in all believers in …

God’s Say-so

by

He hath said . . . so that we may boldly say . . .Hebrews 13:5-6 My say-so is to be built on God’s say-so. God says – “I will never leave thee,” then I can with good courage say – “The Lord is my helper, I will not fear – ” I will not be haunted by apprehension. This does not mean that I will not be tempted to fear, but I will remember God’s say-so. I will be full of courage, like a child “bucking himself up” to reach the standard his father wants. Faith in many a …

39 The Millennial Mountain

by

Ezekiel 20:39-49 Now Jehovah God turns from focusing on the sins of the Jews exiled to Babylon and refers again to the future when Israel will be gathered together from the four corners of the earth. Now however He is advancing the time on the world chronology to the second time that He will gather them (Isaiah 11:11-12) after the Tribulation which is discussed in chapters six through nineteen in the book of Revelation. Other passages add clarity to the concept of holy mountain, in the mountain of the height of Israel; the house of Israel. Because of the extent of …
