The Divine Image in Man 3/11/2010
The Divine Image in Man
Having looked at man’s creation, his constitution and
some of the problems arising there from, we come now to consider
the great question of what is meant by man being created
in the image and likeness of God. Our first reason for considering
this is Scripture itself - let me give you a number of verses
which deal with it. First are the verses in Genesis 1:26 - ...

Romans 7:13 3/11/2010
Romans 7:13 Sin . . . exceeding sinful. Beware of light thoughts of sin. At the time of conversion,
the conscience is so tender, that we are afraid of the slightest
sin. Young converts have a holy timidity, a godly fear lest
they should offend against God. But alas! very soon the
fine bloom upon these first ripe fruits is removed by the
rough handling of the surrounding world: the sensitive
plant ...

Question 3/11/2010
Question: I've been told that Jesus died for my sins.
What does that mean exactly? How could the death of Jesus
help me get to heaven? What does the death of Christ save
me from? Answer: One way to understand the meaning of the death of
Jesus is to imagine a courtroom scene in which we are on trial
for our sins and God is the judge. Our sins against God are
capital crimes. God Himself is our ...

Isaiah 62:12 3/11/2010
Isaiah 62:12 Thou shalt be called, Sought out. The surpassing grace of God is seen very clearly in that
we were not only sought, but sought out. Men seek for a thing
which is lost upon the floor of the house, but in such a case
there is only seeking, not seeking out. The loss is more
perplexing and the search more persevering when a thing
is sought out. We were mingled with the mire: we were as ...

Chosen In Him 3/10/2010
Chosen in Him
“According as He hath chosen us in him before the foundation
of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before
him in love.” (Ephesians I: 4)
This verse is obviously connected with the previous verse;
the ’according as’ tells us so. ’Blessed be the God and Father
of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual
blessings in ...

Psal, 30:6 3/10/2010
Psalm 30:6 In my prosperity I said I shall never be moved. "Moab settled on his lees, he hath not been emptied
from vessel to vessel." Give a man wealth; let his
ships bring home continually rich freights; let the winds
and waves appear to be his servants to bear his vessels across
the bosom of the mighty deep; let his lands yield abundantly:
let the weather be propitious to his crops; let ...

2 Timothy 3:16 3/10/2010
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching,
for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness
(2 Timothy 3:16) The Bible is our instruction manual! When you buy a new piece of equipment, the maker supplies
an instruction manual with it, to help you get the most from
it. If you don't follow the instructions in the manual
it voids your warranty and can lead to disaster. ...

Do not worry 3/10/2010
Do not worry then, saying, 'What will we eat?'
or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear
for clothing?' For the Gentiles eagerly seek all these
things; for your heavenly Father knows that you need all
these things. But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness,
and all these things will be added to you. (Matthew 6: 31-33)
When you put God first in your life and follow His call, you
never ...

Witnessing His Glory by Sproul 3/9/2010
Witnessing His Glory The book of James has an unusual sentence construction
that links the word glory with the name of Jesus: "My
brethren, do not hold the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Lord of glory, with partiality" (James 2:1).
In this verse the words "Lord of glory" have
alternate renditions. Some translations read, "Our
glorious Lord." Still another possible translation
reads, "Jesus ...

The Power of Contentment 3/9/2010
The Power of Contentment Jesus is watching us, and warning that choices we make can
blind us to spiritual realities around us. In this final
church (Laodicea in Revelation 3) Jesus warned them that
their longing for riches caused them to be blinded to their
real spiritual condition and needs. Riches piled up often reflect discontent; and a lack of
contentment always has dangerous effects upon our ...

Acts 14:22 3/9/2010
Acts 14:22 We must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom
of God. God's people have their trials. It was never designed
by God, when He chose His people, that they should be an untried
people. They were chosen in the furnace of affliction;
they were never chosen to worldly peace and earthly joy.
Freedom from sickness and the pains of mortality was never
promised them; but when their Lord ...

Psalm 118:8 3/7/2010
Psalm 118:8 lt is better to trust in the Lord, than to put confidence
in man. Doubtless the reader has been tried with the temptation
to rely upon the things which are seen, instead of resting
alone upon the invisible God. Christians often look to
man for help and counsel, and mar the noble simplicity of
their reliance upon their God. Does this evening's
portion meet the eye of a of God anxious ...

Psalm 35:3 Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation. What does this sweet prayer teach me? It shall be my evening's
petition; but first let it yield me an instructive meditation.
The text informs me first of all that David had his doubts;
for why should he pray, "Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation, "
if he were not sometimes exercised with doubts and fears?
Let me, then, be of good cheer, for I am ...

Praying for a godly marriage partner 3/7/2010
Praying For a Godly Marriage Partner
Since God loves us to follow His Word, wouldn't it be
nice if God gave us a set of plans like He gave Moses for the
Tabernacle, so that we would know how to be the best husband
or wife? And wouldn't it be great to have a set of guidelines
to know just who we should marry: what they would look like,
act like, and so on?
Well the great news is ...

No servant can serve 2 masters 3/7/2010
No servant can serve two masters; for either he will hate
the one and love the other, or else he will be devoted to one
and despise the other. You cannot serve God and wealth.
It's IMPOSSIBLE to have both God and wealth as the great
goals of your life—you must choose! God's message to your heart today is not simply that
you should not serve both God and wealth, but rather that
"you cannot serve ...

Have faith in God 3/7/2010
Mark 11:22 Have faith in God. Faith is the foot of the soul by which it can march along the
road of the commandments. Love can make the feet move more
swiftly; but faith is the foot which carries the soul. Faith
is the oil enabling the wheels of holy devotion and of earnest
piety to move well; and without faith the wheels are taken
from the chariot, and we drag heavily. With faith I can do
all ...

The Importance of Prayer 3/5/2010
Psalm 62:5 My expectation is from Him. It is the believer's privilege to use this language.
If he is looking for aught from the world, it is a poor "expectation"
indeed. But if he looks to God for the supply of his wants,
whether in temporal or spiritual blessings, his expectation"
will not be a vain one. Constantly he may draw from the bank
of faith, and get his need supplied out of the riches ...

In Jesus by Ann Spangler 3/5/2010
In Jesus' day, the name "rabbi" or "teacher"
was normally reserved for someone who had studied under
another rabbi for many years. Jesus offended the religious
leaders of his day by ignoring this system. Instead of apprenticing
himself to a rabbi, he simply laid down his carpenter tools
and called twelve ordinary men to become his disciples.
Unlike other rabbis, who merely passed on the teaching ...

He who loves money 3/5/2010
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor
he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.
When good things increase, those who consume them increase.
So what is the advantage to their owners except to look on?
The sleep of the working man is pleasant, whether he eats
little or much; but the full stomach of the rich man does
not allow him to sleep. (Ecclesiates 5:10-12) ...

2 Corinthians 12:9 3/5/2010
2 Corinthians 12:9 My grace is sufficient for thee. If none of God's saints were poor and tried, we should
not know half so well the consolations of divine grace.
When we find the wanderer who has not where to lay his head,
who yet can say, "Still will I trust in the Lord, "
or when we see the pauper starving on bread and water, who
still glories in Jesus; when we see the bereaved widow ...

Husbands 3/4/2010
Husbands: Is Marriage Your Highest Priority? Can there be any higher calling than the one the God of the
Universe has given to husbands? God says, love your wife
just like Christ loves His Church. That is a very high calling,
and perhaps the most sobering words any married man, who
knows and loves God could hear. There are few things in life that God singles out to be done
in a way that clearly ...

Matthew 3:16 He saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove. As the Spirit of God descended upon the Lord Jesus, the head,
so He also, in measure, descends upon the members of the
mystical body. His descent is to us after the same fashion
as that in which it fell upon our Lord. There is often a singular
rapidity about it; or ever we are aware, we are impelled
onward and heavenward beyond all ...
