1 Samuel 22:3-23 3 And David went from there to Mizpeh of Moab. And he said to the king of Moab, “Please let my father and my mother stay with you, till I know what God will do for me.” 4 And he left them with the king of Moab, and they stayed with him all the time that David was in the stronghold. 5 Then the prophet Gad said to David, “Do not remain in the stronghold; depart, and go into the land of Judah.” So David departed and went into the forest of Hereth. Saul Kills the Priests …

"We love him because he first loved us." 1 John 4:19

by

  There is no light in the planet but that which proceedeth from the sun; and there is no true love to Jesus in the heart but that which cometh from the Lord Jesus himself. From this overflowing fountain of the infinite love of God, all our love to God must spring. This must ever be a great and certain truth, that we love him for no other reason than because he first loved us. Our love to him is the fair offspring of his love to us. Cold admiration, when studying the works of God, anyone may have, but …

"There brake he the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle." Psalm 76:3

by

  Our Redeemer’s glorious cry of “It is finished,” was the death-knell of all the adversaries of his people, the breaking of “the arrows of the bow, the shield, and the sword, and the battle.” Behold the hero of Golgotha using his cross as an anvil, and his woes as a hammer, dashing to shivers bundle after bundle of our sins, those poisoned “arrows of the bow;” trampling on every indictment, and destroying every accusation. What glorious blows the mighty Breaker gives with a hammer far more ponderous than the fabled weapon of Thor! How the diabolical darts fly to …

This is the concluding message in this series. Dr. Woodhead discusses In this final video of the series of As in The Days of Noah Were, Transhumanism and Gene Experimentation. This is indeed the promulgation of abnormal activity. The sadistic medical practices of joining human genes with those of animals. This is preparation for the coming demonic invasion lead by Satan to lead the corrupt offspring against the Lord Jesus. Jesus will prevail

A Sense of Impending Doom – by Hal Lindsey

by

As we enter the sweltering days of summer, 2016, it feels like we are trapped inside a bizarre and sometimes frightening carnival funhouse. America is plunging headlong into a presidential election that has already proven itself one of the most tumultuous in our history — and we’re not even to the real race yet! Who would have bet that the three remaining candidates would be an avowed Socialist, a real estate tycoon who has never held public office, and a failed Secretary of State teetering on the edge of criminal indictment. And who could have guessed that the hot-button issue …

The Nature of Love

by

Reflections   We love him, because he first loved us. If a man say, I love God, and hates his brother, he is a liar. (I John 4:19-20)   We do not make ourselves disciples – “a taught one” – by loving others. Rather, if we are a disciples – i.e., someone who has learned Jesus Christ – we are going to want to love others. We will love others because we have first received the love that God has for us. There is no other way we can love others. We can only give that which we have first …

"They are they which testify of me." John 5:39

by

  Jesus Christ is the Alpha and Omega of the Bible. He is the constant theme of its sacred pages; from first to last they testify of him. At the creation we at once discern him as one of the sacred Trinity; we catch a glimpse of him in the promise of the woman’s seed; we see him typified in the ark of Noah; we walk with Abraham, as he sees Messiah’s day; we dwell in the tents of Isaac and Jacob, feeding upon the gracious promise; we hear the venerable Israel talking of Shiloh; and in the numerous types …

Born of the Flesh

by

Reflections          That which is born of the flesh is flesh. (John 3:6)   In the final analysis, we are all made of the same flesh – that which belongs to the old creation in Adam. Built into that nature is the same potential for sin. But because each of us are born into a different family, into a different environment, and exposed to different situations – with differing temperaments — we each develop our flesh uniquely. Our personal choices also mold and shape our flesh, but in the end, it IS flesh. We each have a …

Never Alone

1 Samuel 21:10–22:2; Psalm 142   1 Samuel 21:10-22:2 10 And David arose and fled that day for fear of Saul, and went to Achish the king of Gath. 11 And the servants of Achish said unto him, Is not this David the king of the land? did they not sing one to another of him in dances, saying Saul hath slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands? 12 And David laid up these words in his heart, and was sore afraid of Achish the king of Gath. 13 And he changed his behaviour before them, and feigned himself …

INDULGING WEAKNESSES

by

Judges 13:24-25 24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name [a]Samson: and the child grew, and Jehovah blessed him. 25 And the Spirit of Jehovah began to move him in [b]Mahaneh-dan, between Zorah and Eshtaol.   At the moment of salvation, a person becomes a brand-new creation and is set apart for God’s purposes (2 Cor. 5:17). The heavenly Father has a specific plan for the life of every believer (Eph. 2:10), and He provides each of His children with whatever is needed to accomplish that plan (2 Pet. 1:3). Consider the life of Samson. At the …

By the Grace of God

by

Reflections   Paul said, “I am what I am by the grace of God.” (I Cor. 15:10) In other words, except for the grace of God, Paul would be NOTHING. In this short statement, Paul states what is repeated throughout the NT: All that is of value in a Christian is of Christ — received from above — but now of Christ IN US. No value is of us. If you are born from above, you have life from above — Christ within you. And IN CHRIST — the Christ who is in us — is all that God has …
