I Would Not Be Denied   12/14/17 Romans 10:8-13 KJV 8  But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9  That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11  For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12  For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13  For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. Paul reminded us constantly of the fact that the Lord had no desire to deny ANY the joy of eternal life, no matter ethnicity or nationality. He reminded us just as constantly of the requirements to be met by any who w...

Mercy unto you 12/3/17 Jude vs.2 KJV 2  Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied. In a time when there seems no corner, no nook or cranny untouched by the vile negation and disruption of a world bent on the refusal of all taught by Christ Jesus, all demanded by Him from those He came to deliver from those attempting to negate and disrupt the very Will of God, it is easy to forget the foremost precept delivered by Him, and to whom that precept was delivered. It is also easy to forget the warning that applied to believer and unbeliever alike in the message delivered throughout His ministry that allows acceptance and compliance with that precept. Jude forewarned us of that time to come, that is now upon all of the day when both warning and promise would be so difficult for so many to accept. Some choose to remember only the warning, neglecting the promise and possibility provided ALL through that promise, parsing and dividing the warning fro...

Priority  One 3/30/17 Matthew 22:36-40 King James Version (KJV) 36  Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37  Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38  This is the first and great commandment. 39  And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. 40  On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. The first commandment given to God's people was specific, and remains so despite its detractors throughout the passage of time since having been issued. That commandment was not given to one man, but to all those claiming to be that people. It was given to a nation in exile, yet still a favored nation promised to attain even more favor if and only if that commandment was honored. Each time that commandment was ignored by that people, that favor was withdrawn until their return to remembrance and ...

Pie in the Sky (Revelation 19: 7- 9) 7 “ Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. 9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.” How often have we heard: bible thumping Christians of the ‘God squad’ are “so heavenly minded that they are of no earthly use?” Referring to our hope, those of little or no faith claim we are foolishly waiting for “a pie in the sky in the sweet bye and bye.” waiting for “pie in the sky bye and bye.” If they knew just how far ‘off base’ they were they would want a piece of the pie. Lord Jesus has told us: “Occupy till I come” (Luke 19:13), “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men” (Col...

Pleasing God: Romans 7:8-10 7 Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be. 8 So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousne ss. 1 Thessalonians 4:1 Furthermore then we beseech you, brethren, and exhort you by the Lord Jesus, that as ye have received of us how ye ought to walk and to please God, so ye would abound more and more. 6 Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of disobedience. 7 Be not ye therefore partakers with them. 8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in the Lord: walk as children of light: Bel...
