Hebrews 9:22 2/3/2010
Hebrews 9:22 Without the shedding of blood is no remission. This is the voice of unalterable truth. In none of the Jewish
ceremonies were sins, even typically, removed without
blood-shedding. In no case, by no means can sin be pardoned
without atonement. It is clear, then, that there is no hope
for me out of Christ; for there is no other blood-shedding
which is worth a thought as an atonement for ...

Don't Ignore the Devil 2/1/2010
Don't Ignore the Devil There is a habit common among humans that many of us practice
from time to time. This practice is called "ignoring
things we don't like and hoping they will go away."
With minor aches and pains—that method often works. With
leaks, debt, and mechanical problems it almost never works.
When we ignore problems with our health, with our homes,
and with our cars—those ...

The Gift of Salvation 1/31/2010
The Gift of Salvation: Sanctified Living
Through seven divine works of God, guilty sinners are made
ready for dwelling in the Presence of God forever; and their
bodies formerly slaves to sin instantly become the very
dwelling place, and temple of God.
How does God do all that? He does it through the seven elements
that make up the Gift of Salvation.

Colossians 1:28 1/28/2010
Colossians 1:28 Perfect in Christ Jesus. Do you not feel in your own soul that perfection is not in
you? Does not every day teach you that? Every tear which
trickles from your eye, weeps "imperfection";
every harsh word which proceeds from your lip, mutters
"imperfection." You have too frequently had
a view of your own heart to dream for a moment of any perfection
in yourself. But amidst this sad ...

Luke 2:18 1/27/2010
Luke 2:18 All they that heard it wondered at those things. We must not cease to wonder at the great marvels of our God.
It would be very difficult to draw a line between holy wonder
and real worship; for when the soul is overwhelmed with
the majesty of God's glory, though it may not express
itself in song, or even utter its voice with bowed head in
humble prayer, yet it silently adores. Our ...

2 Timothy 3:1-5 1/27/2010
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times
will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money,
boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents,
ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious
gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, ...

Martha 1/27/2010
Luke 10:40 Martha was cumbered about much serving. Her fault was not that she served: the condition of a servant
well becomes every Christian. "I serve, "
should be the motto of all the princes of the royal family
of heaven. Nor was it her fault that she had "much serving."
We cannot do too much. Let us do all that we possibly can;
let head, and heart, and hands, be engaged in the Master's ...

Hebrews 4:12-13 1/25/2010
For the word of God is living and active and sharper than
any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division
of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to
judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And there
is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are
open and laid bare to the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

Without Consultation 1/25/2010
Without consultation, plans are frustrated, but with
many counselors they succeed. A man has joy in an apt answer,
and how delightful is a timely word! (Proverbs 15:22-23)
Have I gotten good counsel? As Christians we constantly battle against our sin-nature,
against our old way of independence. Our society encourages
our sin-nature to say, "I can do it", "I
know best." This attitude is so ...

Lessons in Humble Worship 1/25/2010
Lessons In Humble Worship
Humility is the most prominent feature of Heaven from our
perspective as believers. Every believer we see in Heaven
is constantly doing one thing over and over—falling on
their faces before an Awesome God who alone is the One to
be worship-worthy, adoration-receiving, and humility-receiving.
Paul described true believers as humble-worshipers?
Those two, ...

Song of Solomon 1:4 We will remember Thy love more than wine. Jesus will not let His people forget His love. If all the
love they have enjoyed should be forgotten, He will visit
them with fresh love. "Do you forget my cross?"
says He, "I will cause you to remember it; for at My
table I will manifest Myself anew to you. Do you forget at
I did for you in the council-chamber of eternity? I will ...

Where did Satan come from? 1/25/2010
Where Did Satan Come From?
Above all the vast reaches of the cosmos, above all the swirling
galaxies, shining stars and circling planets God made
some special creatures, fashioned for His own service—the
angels.
And in this angelic host of the Almighty God in heaven, above
the super-powerful archangels, above the fiery seraphim,
and above the mighty cherubim, there was one ...

Does Job fear God for nought? 1/22/2010
Job 1:9 Doth Job fear God for nought? This was the wicked question of Satan concerning that upright
man of old, but there are many in the present day concerning
whom it might be asked with justice, for they love God after
a fashion because He prospers them; but if things went ill
with them, they would give up all their boasted faith in
God. If they can clearly see that since the time of their ...

Humility, Worship and Our Adversary the Devil 1/22/2010
Humility, Worship and Our Adversary the Devil
Today we are God's servants and living a life that worships
God. But while we are living a life of worship we are being
stalked by the most deadly and harmful predator in existence.
His name is Satan our Adversary. His goal is to devour us,
making us stop serving and worshiping God. That is the warning we see in God's Word. And what does

The Bread of LIFE 1/19/2010
Without bread no one in ancient Palestine would have survived
for long. So it seems entirely reasonable for Jesus, in
what has become known as the Lord's Prayer, to instruct
his disciples to pray for their daily bread. Yet the Lord
also challenged his followers not to work for food that
spoils, announcing himself as the only food that would
enable them to live forever. In fact, Jesus was born in ...

Commit your way to the Lord 1/19/2010
Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He will
do it. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
and your judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD and wait
patiently for Him... (Psalm 37:5-7) You can overcome temptation in your life by trusting God!
The Bible tells us that whatever is not from faith is sin
(Rom 14:23), and it's true that most sin finds its root
in a failure ...

The Authority of the Bible
We come now to consider the whole question of what the Bible
has to say about itself. This is inevitable if we follow
the biblical sequence in our consideration of the doctrines,
but we also arrive at it in this way. As we have seen, the ultimate
end and object of all who are concerned about the Christian
faith is to know God. We have also seen that if we are ...

Regeneration 1/15/2010
Regeneration
Each day our body replaces cells, regenerating us physically
by a continuous stream of nutrients; and on a system written
into our genome, nearly every cell in our bodies gets replaced.
That is the regenerating power of the human body. Every day humans will lose and replace 200 billion red blood
cells. Remarkably, our bodies can manufacture 2 million
replacement cells in a ...

Lessons Peter forgot that we should not forget 1/14/2010
Lessons Peter Forgot That We Must Never Forget
One of the greatest examples of God's grace, loving
us even when we sin and fail Him is found in Peter's life.
An amazing aspect of Peter's life is his recovery by
God's grace from one of the most public failures, and
one of the deepest personal embarrassments of all time.
Peter is forever on record for denying that he even knew

greatest man who ever lived up until Christ. That greatest
man was also the humblest and his name was John the Baptist.
John is the first character introduced in the Gospel by
Mark. He is so vital that we need to examine his life closely.

Text: Matthew 20:1-16
• We must remind ourselves that the Bible makes it very
clear that there is no part of this Christian life which
is without its dangers. Nothing is so false to the teaching
of the New Testament as to give the impression that the moment
you believe and are converted, all your troubles are at
an end and you will never have ...

life everlasting. (1Timothy1:16)

her. Later God made a covenant with Abraham, promising
that Sarah would bear him a who would be the first of
countless descendents. Then Isaiah spoke of a who

Job 8:11 1/13/2010
Job 8:11 Can the rush grow up without mire? The rush is spongy and hollow, and even so is a hypocrite;
there is no substance or stability in him. It is shaken to
and fro in every wind just as formalists yield to every influence;
for this reason the rush is not broken by the tempest, neither
are hypocrites troubled with persecution. I would not
willingly be a deceiver or be deceived; perhaps the ...

Justified: No Record of My Sin
Salvation is of the Lord: initiated and designed by the
Lord—and thus it is almost beyond human comprehension.
But what we do know, revealed by God through His Word is incredible.
500 years ago an agonized Augustinian monk was starving
himself to death, sleeping on a cold stone floor, hoping
to please God. He had already had the grace the church offered

Christ with us until the end of the age 1/5/2010
The name "Immanuel" appears twice in the Hebrew
Scriptures and once in the New Testament. One of the most
comforting of all the names and titles of Jesus, it is literally
translated "with us is God" or, as Matthew's
Gospel puts it, "God with us." When our sins
made it impossible for us to come to him, God took the outrageous
step of coming to us, of making himself susceptible to sorrow,
familiar ...
