Guarding 8/30/2010
Guarding a Healthy Mind in a Sick World Earth's darkest hours are dead ahead. Jesus warned
us that at the end of days, the world will be subjected to
the most intense bombardment of deceptions, false teachings,
and truthlessness ever poured out on humanity. How healthy
are your beliefs about God? Satan's All out Attack Is on Your Mind The physical world meets the spiritual world in the realm

Do You Believe and Have This Life? 8/30/2010
Do You Believe and Have This Life? What happens when you preach the gospel from the Gospels
to lost sinners? Does it work any more? I mean does the gospel
impact lives like it did in the world of Christ and the Apostles?
Sometimes it seems that the Roman World of Bible times that
Jesus and Paul lived in 20 centuries ago -- is so far removed
from us. And we may think that our sins today, and the ...

True and False Assurance 8/30/2010
True and False Assurance
We now move on to the consideration of another aspect of
the way in which the devil exercises his wiles with respect
to our experience. I refer to troubles in connection with
assurance of salvation, and we shall find that the wiles
are manifested along exactly the same lines as we have already
seen. The devil’s method is always to produce confusion.
He does ...

The Wiles of the Devil 8/23/2010
The Wiles of the Devil
The important principle which we must always keep in the
forefront of our minds is that the only way to understand
the long story of the human race is to realize that it is the
result of the Fall. That is the only key to history, any sort
of history, secular history as well as this more purely
spiritual history that we have in the Bible. You cannot
understand the ...

Song of Solomon 5:8 8/22/2010
Song of Solomon 5:8 I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if ye find my beloved,
that ye tell him, that I am sick of love. Such is the language of the believer panting after present
fellowship with Jesus, he is sick for his Lord. Gracious
souls are never perfectly at ease except they are in a state
of nearness to Christ; for when they are away from Him they
lose their peace. The nearer to Him, ...

Proverbs 11:25 8/22/2010
Proverbs 11:25 He that watereth shall be watered also himself. We are here taught the great lesson, that to get, we must
give; that to accumulate, we must scatter; that to make
ourselves happy, we must make others happy; and that in
order to become spiritually vigorous, we must seek the
spiritual good of others. In watering others, we are ourselves
watered. How? Our efforts to be useful, bring ...

Isaiah 45:19 8/22/2010
Isaiah 45:19 I said not unto the seed of Jacob, Seek ye Me in vain. We may gain much solace by considering what God has not said.
What He has said is inexpressibly full of comfort and delight;
what He has not said is scarcely less rich in consolation.
It was one of these "said nots" which preserved
the kingdom of Israel in the days of Jeroboam the of Joash,
for "the Lord said not that He would ...

Ephesians 3:8 8/22/2010
Ephesians 3:8 The unsearchable riches of Christ. My Master has riches beyond the count of arithmetic, the
measurement of reason, the dream of imagination, or the
eloquence of words. They are unsearchable! You may look,
and study, and weigh, but Jesus is a greater Saviour than
you think Him to be when your thoughts are at the greatest.
My Lord is more ready to pardon than you to sin, more able
to ...

The Wondrous Cross 8/22/2010
THE WONDROUS CROSS. “But God forbid that I should glory (boast), save in the
CROSS of our LORD JESUS CHRIST, BY WHOM THE WORLD IS CRUCIFIED
UNTO ME, AND I UNTO THE WORLD.” (Galatians 6:14). How can a person be right with God? How can I have my sins forgiven?
How can I reap everlasting life? Why does the Apostle Paul glory in the cross of our Lord Jesus
Christ? He does so because it is by this ...

Nehemiah 3:8 8/22/2010
Nehemiah 3:8 And they fortified Jerusalem unto the broad wall. Cities well fortified have broad walls, and so had Jerusalem
in her glory. The New Jerusalem must, in like manner, be
surrounded and preserved by a broad wall of nonconformity
to the world, and separation from its customs and spirit.
The tendency of these days break down the holy barrier,
and make the distinction between the church ...

Good Hearts Accept the Word 8/22/2010
Good Heart Accepts the Word Open with me to Mark 4:20 where Jesus explains that the Good
Heart - Accepts the Word. What does a heart look like that accepts the Word? How is
a life lived that welcomes as its own Jesus Christ the Word
of God? The Gospels capture six elements from the very lips
of Jesus. Listen to Him. Accept His Word. Desire this depth
of devotion, and welcome Him by giving ...

Do not quench the Spirit 8/22/2010
Do not quench the Spirit (1 Thessalonians 5:19) Your obedience makes you a person that God can work through
powerfully! The word "quench" is mainly used for putting
out a fire. God is challenging you today not to put out the
fire of the Holy Spirit in your life when the Spirit wants
to do something in and through you. DL Moody was one of the greatest men of God of a past generation.
He had an ...

How THE WORLD OF FLESH rebukes and reproaches the church!
It endures all manner of privation and peril, runs risks
that make us shiver—all to achieve its goal. In their fight to scale Mount Everest some years ago, a
company of daring spirits were so bodily fit that they climbed
and lived at an altitude of 27, 000 feet. They said that

Seeing the Bible as a whole through Christ 8/19/2010
Seeing the Bible as Whole in Christ
Please open to John 5:39 and 46. Always remember to really
grasp God's Word we must see that all of it speaks of
Christ. Now turn with me to Exodus 24:16, the revelation of the Tabernacle
was so sacred, so powerful, so vital to God that He made Moses
stand for 6 days and didn't speak until the 7th day to
him. Look at Exodus 25:9 where God showed Moses ...

The Key to Scripture 8/19/2010
The Key to Scripture
Jesus gave us a vital piece of inside information as we try
to exploit the riches of God's Word, that information
is that He is the one unifying theme that runs through each
testament, every book, every chapter, and every verse
of the Book. According to Luke 24:27, 44-45 Christ is found
in "all the Scriptures." It is Christ in ALL
the Scriptures. If you want to ...

The Cross and the Will of God 8/19/2010
The Cross and the Will of God
SUBMISSION AND SUFFERING are utterly contrary to the flesh.
The thing man loves more than anything else in the world
is himself. The thing man wants is to have his own way and
to enjoy himself. Suffering, therefore, always crosses
man where self is alive. There, self refuses and rebels.
Suffering is so unwelcome to the flesh that it demands
the total ...

1 Peter 3:15-16 8/17/2010
But sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts, always being
ready to make a defense to everyone who asks you to give an
account for the hope that is in you, yet with gentleness
and reverence; and keep a good conscience so that in the
thing in which you are slandered, those who revile your
good behavior in Christ will be put to shame. (1 Peter 3:15-16)
Your obedience to God gives power to the gospel ...

Godly Dads 8/17/2010
Godly Dads One of the biggest struggles in life is being a dad. Have
you ever thought about how to qualify as a dad? There is no
training, no courses required. No license or degree, it
just happens. And off you go on the hardest job in life. We
know about qualifying. You need to qualify for a job, a scholarship,
a loan. You must qualify for the team, the finals and so on.
But what about with God. ...

For I am not ashamed 8/17/2010
For I am not ashamed of the gospel...for the wrath of God
is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness
of men....But because of your stubbornness and unrepentant
heart you are storing up wrath for yourself in the day of
wrath and revelation of the righteous judgment of God.
(Romans 1:16, 18; Romans 2:5) God's righteous judgment and wrath will be released
on those who do not ...

IF THE FLESH COULD SPEAK as it faces the Cross, it would be
forced to use the language of one man, Amiel (as quoted by
Amy Carmichael). After he had received at the hands of his
doctors the verdict which was to him the sentence of death,
he said,
On waking, it seemed to me that I was staring into the future
with wide-startled eyes. Is it indeed to me that ...

IN THIS CHAPTER we wish to give special, though brief, consideration
to that much discussed and difficult portion, 1 John 3:6—9:
Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither
seen Him nor known Him. Little , let no one deceive
you. He who practices righteousness is righteous, just
as He is righteous. He who sins is of the ...

a cage, so long as he is alone, is gentle, tractable, quiet,
and appears quite civilized and reasonable; alone in the
cage, he follows his own will, and has his own way, and is
at peace. But unlock the door and push a civilized man into
the cage and watch. The wild man’s countenance changes;

For I am not ashamed 8/15/2010
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God
for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first
and also to the Greek. (Romans 1:16) Never be ashamed of the message of the gospel! The gospel message is a simple message: Jesus Christ died
for us, in our place, for our sins, and He rose from the dead
and is alive today for us to know Him. It is a simple message,
but that ...

So, for my part, I am eager to preach the gospel to you also
who are in Rome.(Romans 1:15) We can always be looking for ways to share Christ with people!
In the previous verse, Paul shared that he had an obligation
to share the gospel with people. But now he says that sharing
Christ was not a horrible duty that he dragged around. Rather,
he was excited to find opportunities to preach the gospel. ...
