NOTHING CAN SEPARATE US

by

Romans 8:32-39(KJV) 32 He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? 33 Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God’s elect? It is God that justifieth. 34 Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, …

Genesis Msg 6 Creation of Sea Life and Birds

by

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses the creation of the sea and bird life. The Hebrew word for soul is nephish and it refers to the fact that there is some consciousness with these creatures as opposed to plant life. The great sea monsters included here is a Hebrew word tannin. This is also the first instance of God speaking to someone else. God blessed the birds and sea creatures. The medieval Jewish rabbis believed that God blessed them since they would be hunted and eaten later.   Watch this video on YouTube

What does 2 Timothy 4:3 mean by itching ears?

by

Answer: The apostle Paul wrote a warning for the church: “The time will come when men will not put up with sound doctrine. Instead, to suit their own desires, they will gather around them a great number of teachers to say what their itching ears want to hear” (2 Timothy 4:3). The Greek word translated “itching” literally means “to itch, rub, scratch, or tickle.” To want one’s ears “tickled” is to desire massages rather than messages—sermons that charm rather than challenge, entertain rather than edify, and please rather than preach. The people Paul warns about will have, as one commentator …

Seeking Guidance: The Pattern

by

When we believe that God’s will is best and yield to Him unconditionally, we are ready to hear His voice   Matthew 7:7 – 7:8 7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: 8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. As we’ve seen, there is a pattern to seeking God’s guidance. The first step—cleansing—is actually important throughout the entire process. In fact, all but one of the remaining steps have no particular order …

“That through death He might destroy him that had the power of death.”—Hebrews 2:14.

by

O child of God, death hath lost its sting, because the devil’s power over it is destroyed. Then cease to fear dying. Ask grace from God the Holy Ghost, that by an intimate knowledge and a firm belief of thy Redeemer’s death, thou mayst be strengthened for that dread hour. Living near the cross of Calvary thou mayst think of death with pleasure, and welcome it when it comes with intense delight. It is sweet to die in the Lord: it is a covenant-blessing to sleep in Jesus. Death is no longer banishment, it is a return from exile, a …

ETERNAL SECURITY: YOU CAN BE SURE

by

Hebrews 7:24-25 24 but Jesus, on the other hand, because He continues forever, holds His priesthood permanently. 25 Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them. We spend a lot of time worrying about physical needs—such as our house, car, food, finances, and health. All these are important in our life, but one form of assurance supersedes all the others. God desires for us to be confident in Him and in His saving grace. He gives us several reasons to be sure of …

Genesis Msg 5 God Divides The Lights

by

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses one of the reasons for making the stars in the heavens was for a sign. A sign signifies or represents something. Signs therefore, are meant to lead one to something else. The sign itself is not the end destination. It is the method employed to direct our attention to something else. In the stars God is the direct object the signs point to. We should realize that His entire creation which theologians call “general revelation,” speak to Him and coming from Him. In fact God charges all mankind to know Him through the ‘signs” …

The Law of Christ Has Replaced the Law of Moses

by

DISPENSATIONALISM·WEDNESDAY, APRIL 19, 2017 Article by: Keith Sherlin, ThD; PhD; © Christicommunity Introduction Two main systems of theology exist in the Christian circles. One theological system named “Covenant theology” emphasizes the “deep sense of continuity between the OT and the NT.”[1] This system of theology differs in essence from the contrasting system of theology known as “Dispensationalism.” Dispensationalism emphasizes the “that there is much variety in the divine economy of the Bible, that God has dealt differently with men during different eras of biblical history.”[2] Sometimes the two systems have been titled “continuity” (representing the Covenant tradition) and “discontinuity” (representing …

And the Answer Is . . .

Exodus 4:1-10 4 Then Moses answered, “But behold, they will not believe me or listen to my voice, for they will say, ‘The Lord did not appear to you.’” 2 The Lord said to him, “What is that in your hand?” He said, “A staff.” 3 And he said, “Throw it on the ground.” So he threw it on the ground, and it became a serpent, and Moses ran from it. 4 But the Lord said to Moses, “Put out your hand and catch it by the tail”—so he put out his hand and caught it, and it became a …

“Take away the stone,” Jesus said. John 11:39

by

We find in all our Lord’s life, an economy of miracle. He never put forth supernatural power, unless it was necessary. Could not Jesus have taken away the stone himself? Certainly he could. The power that could call the dead to life, could easily have lifted back the piece of rock from the door of the tomb. But there is always something left for human hands to do. God honors us by making us co-workers with himself, both in providence and grace. He feeds us—but ordinarily we must toil to earn and gather our own food. He saves people’s souls; …

Genesis Msg 4 Dry Land, Seas, & Vegetation

by

In this video Dr Woodhead discusses how just as in day one the energizing agency was the Word of God (John 1: 3). Now the dry land was separated from the lower waters. The cataclysmic action of creation yeekavoo caused the materials to arrange themselves isostatically (gravitational equilibrium) with heaver materials sinking and lighter materials floating. Lots of matter remained suspended in the waters below as the dry earth began to clear. As the solid surface began to appear the waters simultaneously began a twisting current network of channels that descended into substrata reservoirs. The earth opened up its crust …
