“What think ye of Christ?” Matthew 22:42

by

The great test of your soul’s health is, What think you of Christ? Is he to you “fairer than the children of men”–“the chief among ten thousand”–the “altogether lovely”? Wherever Christ is thus esteemed, all the faculties of the spiritual man exercise themselves with energy. I will judge of your piety by this barometer: does Christ stand high or low with you? If you have thought little of Christ, if you have been content to live without his presence, if you have cared little for his honour, if you have been neglectful of his laws, then I know that your …

Question: “Is Jesus God? Did Jesus ever claim to be God?”

by

Answer: The Bible never records Jesus saying the precise words, “I am God.” That does not mean, however, that He did not proclaim that He is God. Take for example Jesus’ words in John 10:30, “I and the Father are one.” We need only to look at the Jews’ reaction to His statement to know He was claiming to be God. They tried to stone Him for this very reason: “You, a mere man, claim to be God” (John 10:33). The Jews understood exactly what Jesus was claiming—deity. When Jesus declared, “I and the Father are one,” He was saying …

God Himself Shall be With Them

by

Reflections And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. (Rev. 21:3) Jesus Christ is the tabernacle of God. He is the means – Christ in us – by which God Himself dwells with us. He is the means by which we become His people, and He becomes our God. The Body of Christ is also called, “the temple of God” – and the individual believer is likewise, …

Obama Takes Giant Step Toward Armageddon

by

By Daymond Duck God clearly made an unconditional covenant to give all (not part) of the land of Canaan to Israel for an everlasting (forever) possession and He also promised to be Israel’s God (Gen. 17:7-8). Following the return of Israel at the end of the age, God clearly said, “I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people andfor my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land” (Joel 3:2). In the last half of the Tribulation period, …

from “God Has Spoken” by T. Austin-Sparks, chapter 4.

by

6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 (KJV) The principle of the New Covenant is a first-hand individual revelation of Christ as the knowledge of God in terms of glory in the heart of the believer. Every individual believer only comes into true Christianity by a revelation of Christ in his or her heart, so that the knowledge of Christ is all their own, and as real as when …

PLO official: Overall message of Kerry speech welcome, but parameters unacceptable

by

“It must be clear that Jerusalem is east Jerusalem according to 1967 lines. East Jerusalem should be the capital of Palestine.” PLO Executive Committee member Mustafa Barghouti welcomed the overall message of US Secretary of State John Kerry’s speech on Wednesday, but said that the Palestinian leadership cannot accept the top US diplomat’s suggested parameters. “All in all, I think that the speech was very impressive in making very clear the diagnosis of the situation and in making it very clear that Israel has one choice and no more, either a one-state or a two-state solution,” Barghouti told The Jerusalem …

Eternally Secure in Christ

by

It’s not our actions but Christ’s work on the cross that brought about our spiritual rebirth. Colossians 2:13-1 13 And you, being dead in your sins and the uncircumcision of your flesh, hath he quickened together with him, having forgiven you all trespasses; 14 Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to his cross; As Christians, many of us know we’re saved yet still wonder about eternal security. Does our behavior play a role in keeping our salvation? Examining what happened when we …

Signs and Wonders in the Last Days

by

By: Pete Garcia As of late, there has been much discussion over the convergence of signs that have seemingly been dogpiling each other in recent months and years. These are they which do not point to the Rapture of the Church, but point to the events that make possible, the events laid out inside the seven year period of time known as Daniel’s 70th Week. As many have alluded to in the past, that if we are already seeing those signs, and the Rapture precedes this last week of years, then we are much closer than we know. There are …

“For freedom Christ has set us free”

by

I was thinking about the scripture in Galations 5:1 where it says, “For freedom Christ has set us free”. What is this freedom and what is it unto? It is clearly not freedom to do as our ‘ Adam-self’ desires. But it is the freedom which all in Christ desire, the freedom to not be under the government of our own soul. (mind, will, emotions) It is the freedom which comes from the work of His cross in our lives to set us free to live out from His life. This, of course, is the only true freedom there is! …
