Ecclesiates 7:8 - 12/30/2009 Ecclesiastes 7:8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof. Look at David's Lord and Master; see His beginning. He was despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. Would you see the end? He sits at His Father's right hand, expecting until His enemies be made his footstool. "As He is, so are we also in this world." You must bear the cross, or you shall ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

Revelation 6 the first 6 seals - 12/27/2009 A study in the meaning of first six seals as they are broken (chap. 6). The people of God will be preserved (chap. 7). Silence as the 7th seal breaks (8:1-3)! Sweet smell of prayer (8:4-5). Read what happens when the 1st four trumpets blow (8:6-12). If you think this is bad, wait until you read what's coming (8:13)! It is not possible for our human minds to conceive the true greatness of our ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

whether they are of God; because many false prophets have
gone out into the world. By this you know the Spirit of God:
Every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come
in the flesh is of God, and every spirit that does not confess
that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And ...0 response(s), 0 votes |

Many Names for God in the Old Testament - 12/25/2009 Though the Old Testament provides many rich names and titles for God, the New Testament reveals him most fully.

Furthermore, by inviting his followers to call God "Father, " he made this the primary name by which God is to be ... 1 response(s), 1 vote |

2 Corinthians 8:9 - 12/24/2009 2 Corinthians 8:9 For your sakes he became poor. The Lord Jesus Christ was eternally rich, glorious, and exalted; but "though He was rich, yet for your sakes He became poor." As the rich saint cannot be true in his communion with his poor brethren unless of his substance he ministers to their necessities, so (the same rule holding with the head as between the members), it is impossible that our ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |

Acts 18:10 - 12/23/2009 Acts 18:10 I have much people in this city. This should be a great encouragement to try to do good, since God has among the vilest of the vile, the most reprobate, the most debauched and drunken, an elect people who must be saved.

What is faith? - 12/22/2009 What is Faith, what it does, and how do you get it (chap. 11; Rom. 10:17). How to have a successful "faith run" (Heb. 12:1-4). Like a good parent, the Lord disciplines His (12:5-13); so listen and obey when He speaks (12:14-29), because He is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever (13:  — never out of date.

Jeremiah 31:3 - 12/20/2009 Jeremiah 31:3 Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love. Sometimes the Lord Jesus tells His Church His love thoughts.

We cannot look too often upon that face which we love; we desire always to have our precious things in our sight. It is even so with our ... 0 response(s), 0 votes |
