Being Joined to the Lord by T. Austin-Sparks

by

“He that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1 Corinthians 6:17). “For in one Spirit were we all baptized into one body” (1 Corinthians 12:13). Now, dear friends, as we come to partake at the Lord’s Table, it is well that we are reminded of its wonderful meaning. When the Lord appointed that His people should so gather at His Table, He knew all the fullness of meaning that is gathered into His Table. This is the one divinely-appointed way in which all the great values of Christianity are gathered together, and there is no other way in …

THE AFFLICTION OF PAUL

by

Like Paul, we discover that God’s strength is available to us when we confess our inadequacy to Him. 2 Corinthians 1:8-11(ESV) 8 For we do not want you to be unaware, brothers,[a] of the affliction we experienced in Asia. For we were so utterly burdened beyond our strength that we despaired of life itself. 9 Indeed, we felt that we had received the sentence of death. But that was to make us rely not on ourselves but on God who raises the dead. 10 He delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we …

The Unveiled Face By David A. DePra

by

And it came to pass, when Moses came down from mount Sinai with the two tables of testimony in Moses’ hand, when he came down from the mount, that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with him. And when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone; and they were afraid to come nigh him. And Moses called unto them; and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned unto him: and Moses talked with them. And afterward all the children of Israel …

Israelology

by

AUDIOS One’s view of Israel is key in determining one’s theology. This groundbreaking study investigates four approaches to the theology of Israel Past, Present and Future, and scrutinizes beliefs that tend to confuse the identities of both Israel and the Church. The Biblical Evangelist called Israelology a “tremendous, masterful book… Millennialism, postmillennialism and other forms of Covenant Theology go up in smoke under the withering blaze of biblical light Fruchtenbaum places on them. It is the first to create an entire systematic theology of all that the Scriptures say in regard to the people of Israel. As such, Israelology fills …

Abandonment to God

by

Reflections   How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? Thou fool, that which you sow is not quickened, except it die. (I Cor. 15:35-36) This verse contains a principle about resurrection that is applicable to our Christian walk: Abandonment to God includes a relinquishment of knowing the specific outcome of our abandonment. We are merely to sow — we are to lose ourselves by faith into a death into the hands of Christ — but we don’t determine what is raised. We cannot know in what, “body,” that which dies is raised. In other …

The God of All Grace By David A. DePra

by

But the God of all grace, who has called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that you have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you. To him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen. (1 Pet 5:5-11) I want to look at a phrase from this passage written by the apostle Peter: The God of all grace. That is quite a statement about God. And in that statement, especially in the context of this passage, we see much Truth – not only about God, but also about US. Grace Grace has been rightly …

1 Corinthians 15:9-11 9 For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not found vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 11 Whether then it be I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.   The apostle Paul had a certain mindset that Christians are wise to …

“Now Elijah said to Ahab, “Go up, eat and drink; for there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower.” So Ahab went up to eat and drink. But Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; and he crouched down on the earth, and put his face between his knees. And he said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked and said, “There is nothing.” And he said, “Go back” seven times. And it came about at the seventh time, that he said, “Behold, a cloud as small …

(These are the waters of Meribah of Kadesh in the wilderness of Zin.) 15 And Moses spake unto Jehovah, saying, 16 Let Jehovah, …

Two Kinds of Humanity

Reflections                                                                                        For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. (I Cor. 15:45)   There are only two kinds of humanity on the earth: Those who have been born in Adam, and those who have died to Adam and been born from above in Christ. We are all one or the …
