People say that the shortest verse in the Bible is John 11:35: Jesus wept. But I think there is a tie. 1 Thes 5:17 says, Pray continually. Both verses, with just two words each, are profound. We would not expect the King of kings, and Creator of the universe to cry. Paul wrote, “All things… Read More »
The Only Salvation and Life
These days, I feel drawn to impress upon all of you the importance of your new birth. The more we understand what that really is, the more we understand who we really are. Our ONLY identity is in who we are as new creations in Christ. Within that identity is truth, and therefore, all the… Read More »
Judgements Decreed
We all know that God has declared, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways,” declares the Lord. “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isa 55:8-9 Because of this truth, the Bible should be… Read More »
Grace Changed Our Fate
Some cultures in this world have a caste system. It is the belief that your occupation and social status in a particular culture are inherited. People are born with a certain name and lineage, and this determines their lot in life, economically, socially, and in many other aspects that cannot be changed. India banned the… Read More »
Rules Taught By Men
Jesus once told the Jewish leaders of His day that the Prophet Isaiah was right about them. Nearly 700 years earlier, the Lord have given Isaiah these words to write: These people come near me with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me… Read More »
Freely You Have Received
: “Freely you have received; freely give.” Jesus said those words to His disciples as He was sending them out, two-by-two, to preach that His kingdom was near. He told them to “heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, and drive out demons.” (Matt 10:8). Of course, His disciples had never… Read More »
Children of Abraham pt. 4
In this final bulletin article about the phrase “God’s chosen people” as it pertains to the nation of Israel, I’m going to highlight some passages and verses that I have not addressed yet. In Ephesians, Paul speaks of a mystery that had been kept hidden (by God) from previous generations, but was being revealed by… Read More »
Children of Abraham pt. 3
This is my third bulletin article regarding the topic of “God’s chosen people” and where the nation of Israel really fits into that topic. I believe this to be very important, mostly because it is misleading to many Christians. Perhaps the biggest question you have is this: If the Jews really aren’t God’s chosen people—as… Read More »
Children of Abraham pt.2
: Did you read last week’s bulletin? If not, or if you don’t recall what I wrote, you should read that first, then come back to this one as a continuation of the same topic. Last week we read, “It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from… Read More »
Children of Abraham
: A conversation I had last week just before our service began seemed important. Afterward, I thought is would be good for all of us to revisit the topic of the Jews as God’s chosen people. Then today, the Lord reminded me what to write about as I was reading the story of Zacchaeus the… Read More »
