In Jesus 3/2/2010
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 ...

Spiritual Warfare 3/2/2010
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against
the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces
of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness
in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor
of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day,
and having done everything, to stand firm. (Ephesians
6: 12-13) You must prepare yourself spiritually ...

Ephesians 3:8 3/2/2010
Ephesians 3:8 Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this
grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the
unsearchable riches of Christ. The apostle Paul felt it a great privilege to be allowed
to preach the gospel. He did not look upon his calling as
a drudgery, but he entered upon it with intense delight.
Yet while Paul was thus thankful for his office, his success
in it ...

A Good Man 3/2/2010
What God Says to Look for In a Man The outlook for a joy filled lifelong marriage is bleak
without the Lord! To help us, God has left a colorful guide
to marriage; it is a timeless list of personalities to avoid
at all costs, and personalities to be attracted toward.
What do you want most of your years of life to be like? Do you
want them to be hard times of tension, agony, frustration
or pain? ...

The Remedy for Paralyzed Sinners & Fallen Saints 3/2/2010
The Remedy for Paralyzed Sinners & Fallen Saints John Piper God did his most deadly work to destroy hopelessness and
futility and provincial cowardice. He gave up his to
torture and death. A perfect life, a perfect death, and
the decisive work was done. But there are millions who are numb to hope because of the
God-belittling things they have done and how ugly they
have become. They don't lift ...

Song of Solomon 4:16 3/1/2010
Song of Solomon 4:16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden,
that the spices thereof may flow out. Anything is better than the dead calm of indifference.
Our souls may wisely desire the north wind of trouble if
that alone can be sanctified to the drawing forth of the
perfume of our graces. So long as it cannot be said, "The
Lord was not in the wind, " we will not shrink ...

Psalm 62:5 3/1/2010
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 ...

Blessed are those who (Matthew 5:10-12) 3/1/2010
Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake
of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you,
and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of
Me. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great;
for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were
before you. (Matthew 5:10-12) Suffering is a blessing ...

He is Precious 3/1/2010
1 Peter 2 He is precious. As all the rivers run into the sea, so all delights centre
in our Beloved. The glances of His eyes outshine the sun:
the beauties of His face are fairer than the choicest flowers:
no fragrance is like the breath of His mouth. Gems of the
mine, and pearls from the sea, are worthless things when
measured by His preciousness. Peter tells us that Jesus
is precious, but he ...

What is more important to you the love you share, the memories

Don't just think it will happen in a instant, it will
suprise you before you know it, but it will be the most rewarding
experience you will ever have.You fail to see the one who
loves you standing right in front as does she fail to see
you love her in turn. Don't wait to ...

Genesis 1:1 2/24/2010
The Scientific Foundation for Our Faith is Genesis 1:1
Creation is central to the Bible as the Creator Himself
opens the pages of the Scriptures and introduces Himself.
The Gospel of Salvation from Genesis to Revelation is all
about the Creator coming to save those created in His image.
So, there is always in God's Word the Bible—a link between
Creation, the Creator, and ...

Take up your cross and follow Me 2/24/2010
Mark 10:21 Take up the cross, and follow Me. You have not the making of your own cross, although unbelief
is a master carpenter at cross-making; neither are you
permitted to choose your own cross, although self-will
would fain be lord and master; but your cross is prepared
and appointed for you by divine love, and you are cheerfully
to accept it; you are to take up the cross as your chosen badge ...

A Personal Relationship by Lloyd-Jones 2/23/2010
A Personal Relationship Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast
day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles
which he did. But Jesus did not commit himself unto them,
because he knew all men, and needed not that any should testify
of man: for he knew what was in man. John 2:23 – 25 We come back to a further study of this incident recorded ...

You Can Trust God 2/22/2010
You Can Trust God's Science
God has spoken to us in the Bible. He has declared that all
Scripture, every word and every detail of the Bible, was
given to us, supernaturally through inspiration. Inspiration
means God's Word is absolutely trustworthy because
it originated from God Himself, and He is the God we can trust.
Perhaps the strongest statement of inspiration is the ...

Matthew 4:1 2/22/2010
Matthew 4:1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to
be tempted of the devil. A Holy character does not avert temptation-Jesus was tempted.
When Satan tempts us, his sparks fall upon tinder; but in
Christ's case, it was like striking sparks on water;
yet the enemy continued his evil work. Now, if the devil
goes on striking when there is no result, how much more will
he do it ...

Acts 8:30 2/22/2010
Acts 8:30 Understandest thou what thou readest? We should be abler teachers of others, and less liable to
be carried about by every wind of doctrine, if we sought
to have a more intelligent understanding of the Word of
God. As the Holy Ghost, the Author of the Scriptures is He
who alone can enlighten us rightly to understand them,
we should constantly ask His teaching, and His guidance
into all ...

2 Corinthians 7:6 God, that comforteth those that are cast down. And who comforteth like Him? Go to some poor, melancholy,
distressed of God; tell him sweet promises, and whisper
in his ear choice words of comfort; he is like the deaf adder,
he listens not to the voice of the charmer, charm he never
so wisely. He is drinking gall and wormwood, and comfort
him as you may, it will be only a note ...

Luke 15:18 2/18/2010
Luke 15:18 Father, I have sinned. It is quite certain that those whom Christ has washed in
His precious blood need not make a confession of sin, as
culprits or criminals, before God the Judge, for Christ
has for ever taken away all their sins in a legal sense, so
that they no longer stand where they can be condemned, but
are once for all accepted in the Beloved; but having become

Philippians 4:11 2/17/2010
Philippians 4:11 I have learned, in whatever state I am, therewith to be content.
These words show us that contentment is not a natural propensity
of man. "Ill weeds grow apace." Covetousness,
discontent, and murmuring are as natural to man as thorns
are to the soil. We need not sow thistles and brambles; they
come up naturally enough, because they are indigenous
to earth: and so, we need not ...

How Godly Dads Can Bless Their 2/17/2010
How Godly Dads Can Bless Their

lead their homes and marriages with Christ like love. Jesus

Christ's Throne and explain is how he did at blessing
his wife and family with Christ's sacrificial love.

The cross is foolish to those who are perishing 2/14/2010
For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are
perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of
God... For since in the wisdom of God the world through its
wisdom did not come to know God, God was well pleased through
the foolishness of the message preached to save those who
believe. For indeed Jews ask for signs and Greeks search
for wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, ...

2 Corinthians 1:5 2/14/2010
2 Corinthians 1:5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation
also aboundeth by Christ. There is a blessed proportion. The Ruler of Providence
bears a pair of scales-in this side He puts His people's
trials, and in that He puts their consolations. When the
scale of trial is nearly empty, you will always find the
scale of consolation in nearly the same condition; and
when the ...

Lead us not into temptation 2/10/2010
Luke 11:4 Lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil [or,
the evil one]. What we are taught to seek or shun in prayer, we should equally
pursue or avoid in action. Very earnestly, therefore,
should we avoid temptation, seeking to walk so guardedly
in the path of obedience, that we may never tempt the devil
to tempt us. We are not to enter the thicket in search of the
lion. Dearly might ...
