Global Apostasy 5/1/2010
Global Apostasy As the end of the physical world approaches, earth's
darkest spiritual hour also arrives. Satan knows that God has plans to save "a great multitude
which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples,
and tongues, standing before the throne and before the
Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their
hands..." (Revelation 7:9). So, trying to thwart God's ...

Cease striving and know that I am God 5/1/2010
Cease striving and know that I am God; I will be exalted among
the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. (Psalm 46:10)
Am I rushing, anxious, stressed about it? Learning to recognize God's voice means coming to
a place of quiet patience, based on our trust in Him! Charles Stanley has said, "God's voice is still
and quiet and easily buried under an avalanche of clamor".
How true that is! The ...

Ancient Heresies 5/1/2010
Ancient Heresies Before the celestial "shock and awe" judgments
of the Tribulation are unleashed, God's Word describes
a time characterized by false teaching and teachers SO
strong, that it would even sweep away even true believers
(Mark 13:22) if they were not sealed by the Spirit of God.
In Matthew 24 Jesus describes the world before He returns
in His Second Coming, as a world where the love of ...

Psalm 149:4 4/29/2010
Psalm 149:4 The Lord taketh pleasure in His people. How comprehensive is the love of Jesus! There is no part
of His people's interests which He does not consider,
and there is nothing which concerns their welfare which
is not important to Him. Not merely does He think of you,
believer, as an immortal being, but as a mortal being too.
Do not deny it or doubt it: "The very hairs of your head
are ...

Jeremiah 17:17 4/29/2010
Jeremiah 17:17 Thou art my hope in the day of evil. The path of the Christian is not always bright with sunshine;
he has his seasons of darkness and of storm. True, it is written
in God's Word, "Her ways are ways of pleasantness,
and all her paths are peace;" and it is a great truth,
that religion is calculated to give a man happiness below
as well as bliss above; but experience tells us that if ...

Galatians 1:10 4/29/2010
For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving
to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would
not be a bond-servant of Christ. (Galatians 1:10) Am I trying to please men, or myself, or God? The starting place for learning to recognize God's
voice in your life is an absolute commitment to living a
God-focused life, rather than a self-focused or man-focused
life! ...

Substitution 4/29/2010
Substitution
We come now to a positive exposition of what I claim to be
the biblical teaching. It is certainly the view of the atonement
that was taught by all the Protestant Fathers. It was taught
by Martin Luther and John Calvin and by the Reformers in
Britain. So what is it? The biblical teaching emphasizes the supremacy
of the substitutionary element in the atonement. It asserts ...

Commit your way to the Lord 4/29/2010
Commit your way to the LORD, trust also in Him, and He will
do it. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light
and your judgment as the noonday. Rest in the LORD and wait
patiently for Him... (Psalm 37:5-7) You can overcome temptation in your life by trusting God!
The Bible tells us that whatever is not from faith is sin
(Rom 14:23), and it's true that most sin finds its root
in a failure ...

Psalm 67:6 4/27/2010
Psalm 67:6 God, even our own God. It is strange how little use we make of the spiritual blessings
which God gives us, but it is stranger still how little use
we make of God Himself. Though He is "our own God, "
we apply ourselves but little to Him, and ask but little
of Him. How seldom do we ask counsel at the hands of the Lord!
How often do we go about our business, without seeking His
guidance! ...

How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it according

me wander from Your commandments. Your word I have treasured
in my heart, that I may not sin against You. (Psalm 119:9-11)
You can overcome temptation by focusing your life on God's
Word! Read those verses again slowly, taking in each thought.

Understanding Christ's New Role 4/26/2010
Understanding Christ's New Role Imagine an earthly situation where the heir-apparent
to the throne meets with his closest friends on the eve of
his own coronation. The new king's friends would hardly
desire that the king skip his own coronation. There is no
greater benefit to the new king's friends than that
he ascends to the throne. When Jesus left this world, He was not departing in exile.
He ...

eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good

it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable
to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she
gave also to her husband with her, ...

Revelation 16:15 Blessed is he that watcheth. "We die daily, " said the apostle. This was
the life of the early Christians; they went everywhere
with their lives in their hands. We are not in this day called
to pass through the same fearful persecutions: if we were,
the Lord would give us grace to bear the test; but the tests
of Christian life, at the present moment, though outwardly
not so ...

Jesus is Yahweh 4/26/2010
Just as Yahweh is God's personal name revealed in the
Old Testament, Jesus is the personal name of the One we call
Redeemer, Lord, and Christ. His name is intimately linked
to the God of the Hebrew Scriptures because it means "Yahweh
is salvation." Indeed, Jesus is Yahweh come to earth.
If you have ever pictured God as a distant, wrathful Being,
you will have to reconsider that portrait in light ...

could be no need for this loving exhortation, if there were
not a fearful supposition that our memories might prove
treacherous. Nor is this a bare supposition: it is, alas!
too well confirmed in our experience, not as a possibility,
but as a lamentable fact. It appears almost impossible

Sanctification 4/26/2010
Sanctification in Romans 6 to 8
Having dealt with the various theories and teachings and
certain of the problems, we now come to a positive exposition
of the biblical doctrine of sanctification. Our Lord prayed
for His disciples, ‘Sanctify them through [or in] thy truth:
thy word is truth’ (John 17:17). Now that is clearly an indication
of the method of sanctification as it is ...

Romans 8:37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through
Him that loved us. We go to Christ for forgiveness, and then too often look
to the law for power to fight our sins. Paul thus rebukes
us, "O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you,
that ye should not obey the truth? This only would I learn
of you, Received ye the Spirit by the works of the law, or
by the hearing of faith? ...

The wounds of Jesus are His glories, His jewels, His sacred
ornaments. To the eye of the believer, Jesus is passing
fair because He is "white and ruddy" white with
innocence, and ruddy with His own blood. We see Him as the
lily of matchless purity, and ...

weary or tired. His understanding is inscrutable. He gives
strength to the weary, and to him who lacks might He increases
power. Though youths grow weary and tired, and vigorous young
men stumble badly, yet those who wait for the LORD will gain
new strength; they will mount up ...
