A Lively Hope
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Pet. 1:3).Hope fills a different place, in the heart of the Christian, than faith. Faith is the unquestioning belief in […]
Destiny
“Enter ye at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way , which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it” (Matt. 7:13-14).At life’s conception, destiny […]
Freedom
“If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (John 8:31,32). “If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed” (v.36). A disciple of Christ is one who lives in His Word. We cannot separate […]
God Cares
“Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you” (1 Pet. 5:7).The meaning of the word care in the above scripture is anxiety. Life has many cares. If this were not true, life would be a paradise. But because life is filled with cares and anxieties, God has invited us to place them […]
The Identified Christian
Our title has in mind two perspectives: Does the world know who the Christian is, and does the Christian himself know who he is? If the person who answers to the Christian name doesn’t really know who he is, neither will the world truly know his identity.Most people, some more than others, have an interest […]
Our Eternal High Priest
Before Adam and Eve transgressed they lived in communion with God. It appears God would come in the cool of the day and they would have sweet fellowship together. That all changed after the fall. During the time of Moses, God was pleased to dwell among His people and walk with them in the wilderness. […]
Grace
“For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men” (Titus 2:11). “But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved)” (Eph. 2:4-5). “I do not frustrate the […]
The Spiritual Mind
“For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually minded is life and peace. Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be” (Rom. 8:6-7).Man, being made in the image of God, has the capacity to think as God thinks. […]
Our Redeemer
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, To preach the acceptable year of […]
The Promises of God
The promises of God to man recorded in the Bible have been tallied by students as 7,487! Our subject, then, is so vast that it is quite impossible to study it in depth. Let us, however, “feed” for awhile on His precious promises, and we will be thrilled to see anew the magnitude of the […]
