Luke 12:15 6/15/2010
Then [Jesus] said to them, "Beware, and be on your
guard against every form of greed; for not even when one
has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.
(v. 15) Luke 12:13-21 Life is not about what you have; it is about your relationship
to God! Get out your Bible and read the full passage referred to
above. After Jesus describes that man's life, He says,
"So is the man who lays up ...

Evidence for the Deity and Humanity of Christ 6/15/2010
Evidence for the Deity and Humanity of Christ
In our consideration of the doctrine of the virgin birth,
we were looking at this babe in Bethlehem, of whom we assert
that He is God the eternal . That obviously means that
we must look a little more closely at what the Bible tells
us about this person who came into the world as a baby, grew
into a boy, developed into manhood, and set out ...

The Return of Christ 6/15/2010
THE RETURN OF CHRIST
Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may
be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come
from the presence of the Lord; and he shall send Jesus Christ,
which before was preached unto you: whom the heaven must
receive until the times of restitution of all things, which
God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since
the world ...

Ecclesiastes 5:10-12 6/14/2010
He who loves money will not be satisfied with money, nor
he who loves abundance with its income. This too is vanity.
When good things increase, those who consume them increase.
So what is the advantage to their owners except to look on?
The sleep of the working man is pleasant, whether he eats
little or much; but the full stomach of the rich man does
not allow him to sleep. (Ecclesiastes 5:10-12) ...

Good Angels 6/11/2010
Good Angels
Before we come to deal with the doctrine of creation there
is still another doctrine which we have to consider. We
are approaching these great biblical doctrines in an order
which seems to me to be quite inevitable. We are concerned
with God — not with man, as the present tendency is. We are
concerned with God’s revelation of Himself. We have considered
His being, His ...

The Eternal Decrees of God 6/10/2010
The Eternal Decrees of God
In our consideration of these biblical doctrines we come
now to a new section of the particular doctrine with which
we have been dealing, namely the doctrine of God. You will
recall that we have considered what the Bible tells us about
the being, the nature, and the character of God as He has
been pleased to reveal that to us in the Scriptures. We have
also ...

The Names of God and the Holy Trinity 6/8/2010
The Names of God and the Holy Trinity
We have just been considering the so-called moral or communicable
attributes of God, and as we did this we reminded ourselves
that we are not merely concerned with some intellectual
or theoretical pursuit. All this is necessary in order
that we may know God, in order that we may worship Him truly,
in order that we may have communion with Him, and be ...

Christ's Return 6/7/2010
The Millennium: Christ's Return and Reign as the King
of Kings Nothing can ever compare to the return of the King. Earth again will see its Creator no longer shrouded in the
form of a humble servant. Christ's Return is with the
blazing glory that slightly glowed from the Mount of Transfiguration,
but that on Patmos was as blinding as the Sun in the witness
of the Apostle John. So He comes, ...

Genesis 7:16 6/7/2010
Genesis 7:16 The Lord shut him in. Noah was shut in away from all the world by the hand of divine
love. The door of electing purpose interposes between
us and the world which lieth in the wicked one. We are not
of the world even as our Lord Jesus was not of the world. Into
the sin, the gaiety, the pursuits of the multitude we cannot
enter; we cannot play in the streets of Vanity Fair with
the of ...

1 John 4:8 6/7/2010
1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God. The distinguishing mark of a Christian is his confidence
in the love of Christ, and the yielding of his affections
to Christ in return. First, faith sets her seal upon the
man by enabling the soul to say with the apostle, "Christ
loved me and gave Himself for me." Then love gives
the countersign, and stamps upon the heart gratitude and
love to Jesus ...

The God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob 6/6/2010
THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB
And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men
of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnes’tly
on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this
man to walk? The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob,
the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Jesus; whom
ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence ...

God's Plan for the Jews 6/6/2010
God’s Plan for the Jews
The point at which we have now arrived with regard to our
Lord’s coming is this: we have seen that the Scripture teaches
that certain signs must happen before He comes. First,
the teaching of the Christian gospel to all nations will
precede this great event, and second, before our Lord returns
something will happen with regard to the conversion (I
use the term ...

RISE UP AND WALK 6/3/2010
“RISE UP AND WALK”
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none: but such as
I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
rise up and walk. —Acts 3:6
As we have seen, there is considerable confusion in the
minds of men and women with respect to the message of the
Gospel, and that is the tragedy of tragedies. This is, of
course, the masterpiece of ...

The Moral Attributes of God 6/2/2010
The Moral Attributes of God
We are dealing, let me remind you, with the attributes of
God. We have considered those which belong to His absolute
personality and we come now to consider what are commonly
called the moral attributes of God, sometimes described
as the communicable attributes of God. Those attributes
which we have just dealt with belong only to God; they are
incommunicable ...

Goliath 5/31/2010
When all the men of Israel saw the man [the giant Goliath],
they fled from him and were greatly afraid.... Then David
spoke to the men who were standing by him, saying, "What
will be done for the man who kills this Philistine and takes
away the reproach from Israel? For who is this uncircumcised
Philistine, that he should taunt the armies of the living
God?"... When the words which David spoke ...

Hebrews 4:14 - 16 5/31/2010
Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has passed
through the heavens, Jesus the of God, let us hold fast
our confession. For we do not have a high priest who cannot
sympathize with our weaknesses, but One who has been tempted
in all things as we are, yet without sin. Therefore let us
draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that
we may receive mercy and find grace to help ...

Song of Solomon 2:15 5/31/2010
Song of Solomon 2:15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes that spoil the vines.
A little thorn may cause much suffering. A little cloud
may hide the sun. Little foxes spoil the vines; and little
sins do mischief to the tender heart. These little sins
burrow in the soul, and make it so full of that which is hateful
to Christ, that He will hold no comfortable fellowship
and communion with us. A ...

Psalm 66:20 Blessed be God, which hath nor turned away my prayer. In looking back upon the character of our prayers, if we
do it honestly, we shall be filled with wonder that God has
ever answered them. There may be some who think their I prayers
worthy of acceptance-as the Pharisee did; but the true
Christian, in a more enlightened retrospect, weeps over
his prayers, and if he could retrace his ...

Lamentations 3:21 5/31/2010
Lamentations 3:21 This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. Memory is frequently the bondslave of despondency. Despairing
minds call to remembrance every dark foreboding in the
past, and dilate upon every gloomy feature in the present;
thus memory, clothed in sackcloth, presents to the mind
a cup of mingled gall and wormwood. There is, however, no
necessity for this. Wisdom can readily ...

Israel and the Jews 5/31/2010
Israel and the Jews
As we open to Romans 11, we all need to understand more and
more about how God has worked in the past, and what He has
planned for the future. One of the richest ways to do that
is through a closer look at Israel and the Jewish people.
God has declared that they are His chosen people of destiny.
First we need to remind ourselves of the reality God presents
to New ...

of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacobknown as the nation of Israel,

any other subject or topic in all of the Scriptures. All of the ...

God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

really need God in your life, that you are the master of your
own fate, that God is just like a little boost on your self-made
journey through life様ike the spare-tire in the trunk
of your car? Then, brace yourself: God is opposed to you. God's
biggest goal in your ...

what shall we be in the presence of our gracious Lord? The
more grace we have, the less we shall think of ourselves,
for grace, like light, reveals our impurity. Eminent saints
have scarcely known to what to compare themselves, their
sense of unworthiness has ...

The Attributes of God's Absolute Personality 5/25/2010
The Attributes of God’s Absolute Personality
As we resume our consideration of the great and central
doctrine of God, let me remind you that we have seen that
the existence of God is not argued in the Scriptures. It
is assumed. Furthermore, we saw that we can deduce from
the Scriptures that God is knowable but incomprehensible.
We can know Him but that does not mean that we can ...

Psalm 138:8 The Lord will perfect that which concerneth me. Most manifestly the confidence which the Psalmist here
expressed was a divine confidence. He did not say, "I
have grace enough to perfect that which concerneth me-my
faith is so steady that it will not stagger-my love is so
warm that it will never grow cold-my resolution is so firm
that nothing can move it; no, his dependence was on the ...

Praying When We Are Down 5/24/2010
Praying When We Are Down Have you ever thought about what kind of people God uses
for His glory? Many of them are just like us, weak and sometimes
failing. That is just what God wants us to know today. Let God's
power be with¬drawn, even for a moment, and we immediately
see that we are only earthen vesselsabsolutely valueless
and useless in ourselves. This is why the psalmist said,
"Verily ...

Praying Like Daniel Did 5/24/2010
Praying Like Busy Daniel In God's opinion of History, the Kingdom of Babylon
was the richest and most glorious of all. Babylon was the
head of gold in the image God revealed to NEBUCHADNEZZAR.
As Nebuchadnezzar's realm spread across the then
known world, it left in its wake the dust of crushed opponents
foolish enough to challenge God's chosen instrument
of judgment. To the helm of that ...

Isaiah 43:24 5/24/2010

sweet perfumes to be burned upon the altar of God: but Israel,
in the time of her backsliding, became ungenerous, and
made but few votive offerings to her Lord: this was an evidence
of coldness of heart towards God and His house. Reader,
does this never occur with you? Might not the ...

Hebrews 12:23 Made perfect. Recollect that there are two kinds of perfection which
the Christian needs-the perfection of justification
in the person of Jesus, and the perfection of sanctification
wrought in him by the Holy Spirit. At present, corruption
yet remains even in the breasts of the regenerate-experience
soon teaches us this. Within us are still lusts and evil
imaginations. But I rejoice ...
