Believers have no reason to fear death, as life on earth is just the beginning of their eternal existence. Life After Death Luke 12:16-20 16 And he spake a parable unto them, saying, The ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully: 17 And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? 18 And he said, This will I do: I will pull down my barns, and build greater; and there will I bestow all my fruits and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, …
Reflections From the Psalms The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever. (Ps. 12:6-7) It does not matter how the Truth of God is challenged, discredited, and attacked – in the end, the Truth of God will be shown to BE TRUE. This is not only true out here in the world, but it is true within the believer. That which is of Jesus Christ can endure any fire. That which is NOT of …
Reflections No prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. (2 Pet 1:20) This verse has been made to mean by Roman Catholics that the church has the right of interpretation for the individual. But that is not the meaning. Peter is simply saying that I cannot adjust the Truth to fit myself personally. Rather, I must be adjusted to fit the Truth. And the fact is, we are ultimately going to do one or the other. All of us have fallen into the trap of accepting whatever feeds us – if something feeds me, then this must be …
Contrasts Religion: Promise God you will be good enough. Truth: Confess to God you can never be good enough. Religion: If we love God, He will love us. Truth: Because God loves us, we can love Him. Religion: Give in order to get. Truth: Freely you have received, so freely give. Religion: Go to church to meet God. Truth: Meet God in Jesus Christ and carry Him into church. Religion: Peace at any cost. Truth: Truth at any cost. Religion: Make people feel good about themselves. Truth: Set people free from themselves to Christ. …
Deception in Christianity Matthew 24: 4-5 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many (KJV). II John 7 For many deceivers have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as coming in the flesh. This is the deceiver and the antichrist. 2 Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to …
Your heavenly Father.” Matthew 6:26 God’s people are doubly his children, they are his offspring by creation, and they are his sons by adoption in Christ. Hence they are privileged to call him, “Our Father which art in heaven.” Father! Oh, what precious word is that. Here is authority: “If I be a Father, where is mine honour?” If ye be sons, where is your obedience? Here is affection mingled with authority; an authority which does not provoke rebellion; an obedience demanded which is most cheerfully rendered–which would not be withheld even if it might. The obedience which God’s children …
Intercession is not a matter of begging God to do something we think is needed. Neither is it a matter of basing our faith on our ability to reach God through prayer. Rather, to intercede, I must put myself aside. Intercession is a matter of being apprehended by God to stand with HIM for HIS will and HIS purpose — regarding the one for whom you intercede, or regarding the situation in question. Intercession is for God’s will, His way, in His time — regardless of cost.In the NT Greek, the word for “intercession” carries the meaning, “to fall in …
Reflections From the Psalms The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. (Ps. 12:6) Peter writes, “That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perishes, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honor and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ. (I Peter 1:7) We often think of the trial of faith as a trying of US. There is some Truth in that. We do have to choose. But in the end, the trial of faith …
Full show here: https://goo.gl/iVMMY4. Jan Markell and Eric Barger talk with Dr. Ron Rhodes about how theology today is not Biblically based. The issues of interpretation have driven people into thinking that the church will overcome the world and prepare it for the coming of the Lord.
Isaac’s wife Rebecca was barren for about twenty years. Rebecca finally became pregnant with twin boys. During a difficult pregnancy the two boys were unusually active within her womb. The activity was not natural and she suspected an evil omen.The expressive language of Hebrew captures this activity with an unusual verb vy-yitrotsetsu and translated it means “they crushed and thrust” one another. This foretold their future hostile relationship. Rebecca inquired of the Lord regarding this and He responded; “two nations that is, twin progenitors of two nations, were struggling in her womb.” The Hebrew word for nation is goieem, which is indicating both Jewish and Gentile nations. Common modern Jewish usage of the word Goy is to reference the Gentiles. That is not the biblical Hebrew meaning. They became two entirely different people groups. One people would be stronger and the other weaker. He concluded by stating “the elder shall serve the younger” (Genesis 25: 23).
by Thomas Ice by RR@admin2 The New Testament teaching that Christ could return and rapture His church at any-moment, without prior signs or warning (i.e., imminency), is such a powerful argument for pretribulationism that it is one of the most fiercely attacked doctrines by pre-trib opponents. Non-pretribulationists sense that if the New Testament teaches imminency, then a pre-trib rapture is virtually assured. DEFINITION OF IMMINENCY What is the biblical definition of imminency? Dr. Renald Showers defines and describes imminence as follows: 1) An imminent event is one which is always “hanging overhead, is constantly ready to befall or overtake one; …
Then I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies gathered together to make war against the Rider on the horse and His army (19:19). According to the Bible, great armiesfrom the west and the east will gather and assemble on this plain in the Valley of Armageddon(Psalm 2:2; Joel 3:9-11). As the antichrist and his armies approach Jerusalem, God will intervene and Jesus Christ will return to rescue His people Israel. In a sense, Armageddon is a battle that never really takes place. That is, it does not take place in accordance with its original …
Terry James While those who truly grasp the lateness of the hour and what the issues and events of these strange, troubled times mean, there is the overwhelming majority that hasn’t a clue. This is neither surprising nor unexpected, because the vast part of the world’s population is in spiritual darkness–without Christ, therefore without the Holy Spirit to guide thinking and comportment. There are millions upon millions of others who are within Christendom–that is, who claim to be under the umbrella of Christianity. Most of these, statistics bear out, would not qualify as “Christian” under the definition of being “born …
Reflections From The Psalms The Lord tries the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates. (Ps. 11:5) The contrast in this verse is striking. On the one hand we are told what the Lord hates. But this is contrasted over and against those who are righteous in Christ – those whom God loves. And clearly, one way in which God expresses His love is by, “trying the righteous.” When the Bible speaks of, “trying, trials, or testing,” it is NOT talking about God putting people into situation in order to see whether they have faith. …
