The Law

The Law

There is recorded a law given of God and revealed in the New Testament. The law cut into stone served, however slack, from Moses until Christ. But there is a law even greater and more personal significance to the Christian. These law fulfilled other laws carved and written. (“came not to destroy, but to fulfill” the law given Moses (Matthew 5:17)all the A sample appears like this: “Ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ . . . written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart” (2 Corinthians 3:3). It is an internal conviction branded in the heart by the Spirit of God! “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them” (Hebrews 10:16).

This burning lettering of God’s law in our hearts and minds has been accomplished because Christ came not to destroy law and “hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us” (Galatians 3:13). Now, with the law burned and branded in our hearts it is a permanent association with Christ The Lord. We are now thus made epistles of God, “known and read of all men” (2 Corinthians 3:2), and it is vital that the writing rule true and clear through our lives if we are to “dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”

As concerning the law given Moses, we learn some important facts. While Moses was in the mount, receiving the law from God, the people grew weary of waiting for the return of Moses. Weariness in waiting leads to many temptations. We cannot loose faith and stop waiting on the Lord. The Lord must be waited upon till he manifests His will; wait for Him though he tarry.

The Moses Clan, children of Israel, did not draw back on account of the cost of their idolatry. They gave all the valuables they had to mold a golden calf to worship. We, likewise, must not begrudge the expenses of religion, our Christianity.
Plainly this shows, that the law was no more able to make holy, than it was to justify; by it is the knowledge of sin, but not the cure of sin. Aaron was set apart by the Divine appointment to the office of the priesthood; but he must now declare himself unworthy of the assignment of attending at the altar of God. We must hold fast to the way we first believed. Trust God. Wait on His decision. While the “jury” is out pray. God will answer in the bye and bye. Know God, know peace. Amen BLL 7-30-19

Thy will be Done...the Wayfarer 3/15/19

Thy will be Done 3/15/19 Matthew 6:9-13 King James Version (KJV) 9  After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. 10  Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. 11  Give us this day our daily bread. 12  And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. 13  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. The "model " prayer, given us by Jesus, repeated daily throughout the world, by many denomination and sect, though seldom examined by those parroting the words is NOT an empty example that is to be followed by congregant, memorized by children and adult alike.  It is exactly the opposite of that emptiness, holding the essence of what SHOU LD be in the heart of the one praying. It is GOD'S will that need be sought, not just daily, but continually by all wishing ...

Remember Therefore from Whence Thou art Fallen,,the Wayfarer 3//27/13

 3//27/13 “Remember from Whence Thou art Fallen” “Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.” (Revelation 2:5) Today we touch the untouchable book of Revelation, given to us by John of Patmos, through our Savior Jesus Christ himself. This particular message is one I have given before, in places where I knew none of the congregation, and had no idea why God wouldn’t let me preach from any other scripture.  It is probably one of the most important messages for the people of today’s church to hear. It is also probably the hardest for today’s “Christians” here in our country to comprehend, and even harder to accept. Take note of the use of the phrase “ the first works” used by Jesus, we will delve deeply into the meaning of this phrase as we progress through today’s message. First, however let us back...

The Life is More than Meat...the Wayfarer 11/29/15

The Life is More than Meat  11/29/15 22  And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. 23  The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. (Luke 12:22 &23) Life is indeed more than meat, food, clothing and the things that are constantly demanding the attention of the physical, carnal man, whose concern for himself and those he considers his own, all too often revolve. Life also consists of the inner being, the soul of that man, and those he considers his own, and all others as well with whom he is in contact in the process of what is called living. It is that very essence of life, that eternal soul that holds preeminence and prominence above all physical “needs”. The necessity of a warm coat to stave off the chill of the winter’s cold is undeniably important, without it the physical body, first suffers discomfort, and if ...
