In God's Word: Disciple of Christ

December 24, 2018 - There is an age-old question; How shall I come before the Lord, what am I to do to be saved, and how do I then live the Christian life that Jesus Christ requires of me, to assist in spreading the gospel?

A young man once came before the prophet, Micah, with this question; “With what shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before God on high?” (Micah 6:6)

To his question, how do I seek salvation from the Lord? The old prophet then answered.

In God’s Word: Judge Not

“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.” (Matthew 7:1-2)

December 18, 2018 - I hear parts of this verse quoted or at least repeated so much that I feel we should clear up its meaning and intended usage.

In God's Word: Trust God

December 11, 2018 - We live this day in a world filled with violence and hate. 

A world divided by all manner of things, things which do not matter in the end, but things which govern our lives today. Earthly things, worldly attractions that call out to all who will listen; “come here, have fun, do as you please, all is well.”

Nothing could be farther from the truth than what we are being led to believe by the deceivers of this world. 

In God’s Word: Free in the Spirit

“For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)

December 4, 2018 - For one searching for salvation this verse may be confusing as those searching have not yet found and so understanding has not yet come to those who still seek.

The gift of life is given through the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross of calvary. By his death Jesus took the sin of all mankind and cast them into the deepest sea, fulfilling the Father’s requirement for forgiveness and salvation.

In God's Word: Of Sons and Heirs by Mike Mills

November 19, 2018 - Of sons and heirs-

“My son, fear the Lord and the king, and do not join with those who do otherwise, for disaster will arise suddenly from them, and who knows the ruin that will come from them both.” (Proverbs 24:21-22)

A caution from the Proverbs for the Christian follower of Christ. One who strives to follow the will of the Lord must resist the temptations of the world for to be saved is to be removed from the world.

In God's Word: Make Yourself Clean

November 13, 2018 - The first official act of the new government of the United States of America was not to pass a law, but, to officially dedicate the new country, the new republic, to the service of the Lord God.

New President George Washington and his cabinet, all appointments from the ranks of the leaders of the war of independence from Great Britain walked to a small chapel in New York where they prayed together, led by President Washington and dedicated our country and their efforts to lead it, to the Lord God of heaven.

In God's Word: Blessed of the Lord

October 30, 2018 - “Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered.” (Psalm 32:1)

Do you know the blessings of forgiveness this morning? Have you given yourself over to the Lord Jesus, submitting to his will for you, not to your own selfish wishes?

If not, then let me encourage you to step forth in humility and ask the Lord for forgiveness, say to him;

In God's Word: Idolatry

October 25, 2018 - Idolatry, the worship of idols, one of the Ten Commandments of God says; "You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is on earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God," (Deuteronomy 5:7-9) This is the very first of the Ten Commandments of God, for without upholding this the first, there is no need for one to try and keep the rest.
