1 Peter 1:23 5/24/2010
1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible.
Peter most earnestly exhorted the scattered saints to
love each other "with a pure heart fervently"
and he wisely fetched his argument, not from the law, from
nature, or from philosophy, but from that high and divine
nature which God hath implanted in His people. Just as some
judicious tutor of princes might labour to ...

The Blood of Jesus Christ 5/24/2010
THE BLOOD OF JESUS CHRIST
If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness,
we lie, and do not the truth: but if we walk in the light, as
he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another,
and the blood of Jesus Christ his cleanseth us from all
sin. If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,
and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is ...

Psalm 107:7 5/22/2010
Psalm 107 He led them forth by the right way. Changeful experience often leads the anxious believer
to enquire "Why is it thus with me?" I looked
for light, but lo, darkness came; for peace, but behold
trouble. I said in my heart, my mountain standeth firm,
I shall never be moved. Lord, thou dost hide Thy face, and
I am troubled. It was but yesterday that I could read my title
clear; to-day my ...

Praying Like Elijah Did 5/22/2010
Praying Like Elijah Did
Elijah was an incredible man, so much so that many Christians
are inclined to look upon him as a kind of spiritual superhero.
He was called, chosen and used by God. He lived a very full and fruitful life of ministry
for God; When his ministry was ended, God personally sent
a special Heavenly to take him home to heaven without
his dying. ...

John 14:22-24 5/22/2010
Judas [not Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus]... said
to Him, "Lord, what then has happened that You are
going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?"
Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone loves Me,
he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will
come to him and make Our abode with him. He who does not love
Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is ...

Genesis 42:2 5/22/2010
Genesis 42:2 There is corn in Egypt. Famine pinched all the nations, and it seemed inevitable
that Jacob and his family should suffer great want; but
the God of providence, who never forgets the objects of
electing love, had stored a granary for His people by giving
the Egyptians warning of the scarcity, and leading them
to treasure up the grain of the years of plenty. Little did
Jacob expect ...

Becoming a Christian 5/21/2010
BECOMING A CHRISTIAN
Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart,
and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and
brethren, what shall we do? Then Peter said unto them, Repent,
and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ
for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift
of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your

Psalm 17:7 5/20/2010
Psalm 17 Marvellous lovingkindness. When we give our hearts with our alms, we give well, but we
must often plead to a failure in this respect. Not so our
Master and our Lord. His favours are always performed with
the love of His heart. He does not send to us the cold meat
and the broken pieces from the table of His luxury, but He
dips our morsel in His own dish, and seasons our provisions
with ...

Isaiah 55:8-9 5/20/2010
For My thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways
My ways, " declares the LORD. "For as the heavens
are higher than the earth, so are My ways higher than your
ways and My thoughts than your thoughts." (Isaiah
55:8-9) Faith relies on the person of God and trusts that His ways
are right! Faith reads God's word and says, "This is what
God says". But so often our minds jump in and say, "God ...

Ecclesiastes 10:7 5/20/2010
Ecclesiastes 10 I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as
servants upon the earth. Upstarts frequently usurp the highest places, while the
truly great pine in obscurity. This is a riddle in providence
whose solution will one day gladden the hearts of the upright;
but it is so common a fact, that none of us should murmur if
it should fall to our own lot. When our Lord was upon ...

When Jesus seems distant 5/19/2010
When Jesus Seems Distant Jesus Available Anywhere After the Cross and Empty Tomb, Jesus was available anywhere,
anytime, by anyone. So because Christ rose: any sin could
be forgiven, any doubts could be overcome, any sadness
could be comforted, any disappointment could be stopped,
any fearfulness could be arrested, any loneliness could
be ended, any defilement could be cleansed...anywhere, ...

Preach the word 5/19/2010
Preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove,
rebuke, exhort, with great patience and instruction.
For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine;
but wanting to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate
for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires,
and will turn away their ears from the truth and will turn
aside to myths. (2 Timothy 4:2-4) ...

Living for Jesus 5/19/2010
Living for Jesus Through The School of Suffering As we open to Psalm 1191, we as a nation are in the midst
of one of the most challenging times American's have
faced for over a generation. But as bad as it may seem, think
about how hard life was here in the USA in 1917. That year, World War I was sapping the finances, wearing
down the resolve, and destroying the young men of this nation.

Jesus is both Priest and Prophet 5/19/2010
Jesus is both Priest — the One who faithfully bears us into
God's presence by virtue of his self-sacrifice — and
Prophet — the One who perfectly communicates God's
Word to us. We are called to listen to him, to trust in his
work, and to take our places as part of a kingdom of priests
who in Christ Jesus offer ourselves on behalf of others.
As you pray to Jesus as both Priest and Prophet, ...

Isaiah 41:9 5/19/2010
Isaiah 41:9 Thou art My servant; I have chosen thee. If we have received the grace of God in our hearts, its practical
effect has been to make us God's servants. We may be
unfaithful servants, we certainly are unprofitable ones,
but yet, blessed be His name, we are His servants, wearing
His livery, feeding at His table, and obeying His commands.
We were once the servants of sin, but He who made ...

Hebrews 11:13 5/19/2010
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 ...

Christ's Guided Tour 5/19/2010
Christ's Guided Tour of the Grave
Jesus Christ is revealed in God's Word as love personified.
In His daily life He was most observed by those closest to
Him as filled with compassion; and He described Himself
as "meek and lowly in heart". So what will be
His response towards those who ignore or reject His free
gift of grace?
In a culture where dogmatics, convictions, absolutes, ...

Isaiah 40:11 He shall gather the lambs with His arm, and carry them in

GOOD SHEPHERD. Why doth He carry the lambs in His bosom?
Because He hath a tender heart, and any weakness at once
melts His heart. The sighs, the ignorance, the feebleness
of the little ones of His flock draw forth His compassion.
It is His office, as a ...

The Cleansing of the Temple
And the Jews’ passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
and found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and
doves, and the changers of money sitting: and when he had
made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the
temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers’
money, and overthrew the tables; and said unto ...

cheer up thy heart with the thought of the coming of thy Lord.
Be patient, for "Lo! He comes with clouds descending." Be patient! The Husbandman waits until He reaps His harvest.
Be patient; for you know who has said, "Behold, I come
quickly; and my reward is ...

Joshua 1:7 5/13/2010
Joshua 1 Only be thou strong and very courageous. Our God's tender love for His servants makes Him concerned
for the state of their inward feelings. He desires them
to be of good courage. Some esteem it a small thing for a believer
to be vexed with doubts and fears, but God thinks not so.
From this text it is plain that our Master would not have
us entangled with fears. He would have us without ...

land of his father's sojourning, and dwelling among
heathen strangers. It was a new scene, and likely to be a
trying one: who shall venture among couriers of a foreign ...

But realize this 5/13/2010
But realize this, that in the last days difficult times
will come. For men will be lovers of self, lovers of money,
boastful, arrogant, revilers, disobedient to parents,
ungrateful, unholy, unloving, irreconcilable, malicious
gossips, without self-control, brutal, haters of good,
treacherous, reckless, conceited, lovers of pleasure
rather than lovers of God, holding to a form of godliness, ...

human nature will like to give. It is without money and without
price. Ah! you would like to pay a respectable rent! You
would love to do something to win Christ? Then you cannot
have the house, for it is "without price." Will
you take my Master's house on a lease ...
