When the Way Is Too Strait

The story in God’s Holy Bible about Judas is heartbreaking.
This man had cast out devils and healed the sick. He walked with the Son of God and must have become convinced that He was God in the flesh. Jesus called him a sheep and sent him with the other eleven into the [...]

GOD ALWAYS HAS A REMNANT

And he ( Elijah) came thither unto a cave, and lodged there; and, behold, the word of the LORD came to him, and he said unto him, What doest thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts: for the children of Israel have [...]

If that by any Means we may ‘Save Some’..

Lilies and Roses—among the briars

“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of This world!” Romans 12:2
We should be holiest in evil times. The profaneness Of the times should not slacken our zeal-but heighten It. The looser others are-the stricter we should be.
The way to hell is a well-trodden road. “You shall not Follow a [...]

Dry Bones

What is God’s solution to the state of the church today? Is it the destiny of the church to remain steeped in compromise and division? Or does the Word of God promise a better day for the body of Christ?
Join me as we allow the written prophetic words of God to breathe life into the [...]

Paul Washer Sermon Jam 3 - The Reality of Judgment

Paul Washer talking about judgment and that it will take place and we will all be tried & held accountable for every word, thought & deed. Its a somber message, but one we need to keep in mind.

Perseverance is Just as Important as Conversion

This was something I read earlier today and wanted to share it. Reading old teachings from the Church fathers, perseverance of the saints is a topic spoken or written of often, but one we don’t hear much about today. I recall on a Christian forum a few years ago, leaving a comment in which I [...]

God Himself Shall Work

“Now will I rise, saith the LORD; now will I be exalted; now will I lift up Myself” (Isaiah 33:10).
God is exalted in the midst of an afflicted people, for they seek His face and trust Him. He is still more exalted when in answer to their cries He lifts up Himself to deliver them [...]

Repentance, Assurance and Confidence

This is an interesting video clip. It caught my attention because of a discussion which took place on a Christian board a while back which I took part in: The topic was on repentance and the obligation on the part of the believer. What took me by surprise was the belief by one who was [...]

Prepared for the Coming Tribulation

  Written By Corrie Ten Boom in 1974.
The world is deathly ill. It is dying. The Great Physician has already signed the death certificate. Yet there is still a great work for Christians to do. They are to be streams of living water, channels of mercy to those who are still in the world. It [...]

Overcoming Through Tribulations

Kato Mivule - Uganda, Africa
Ye Shall Have Tribulations
(John 16:33) These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Jesus Christ told us very clearly that in this world we shall have tribulation [...]

Extreme Faith

  This afternoon I’ve been reading some of the outstanding testimonies over at Persecution blog,  and feeling very humbled. When reading these stories and the many quotes recorded by those who have experienced true physical persecution for nothing more then their faith in Christ, it makes me realize how petty, ungrateful, and complaining I am [...]

The Race Is On

Ellen MacArthur’s journey began and ended on the south coast of England. Persisting through 65 mph winds, intimidating storms, burns, bruises, depression, and a near miss with a whale, MacArthur was hoping to set the record for the fastest, nonstop, solo circumnavigation of the globe. The young captain slept an average of [...]

Sanctify Yourselves Against Tomorrow

“FOR THE TIME HAS COME that judgment must begin at the house of God; and if it first begin with us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?” 1 Peter 4:17-18.

Apostasy, Hypocrisy and Violence

This afternoon I was reading over on Monergism,  and came across this: Apostasy, Hypocrisy and Violence. -
“It brings me great sadness to report that a person whom I once considered a dear brother has gone apostate from the faith. With joy we used to go together to the house of the Lord, yet he [...]

Stay AWAKE!

The alarm of discovering your house has been broken into is one I imagine stays with you long after the thief has gone home. Though most are not eyewitnesses to the looming figure that wrongfully entered, victims of such crimes often report seeing shadows in every corner and silhouettes peering through their windows. Signs [...]

Rest in the Final Hour

By John Piper at Desiring God blog.
***********
The likelihood of dying because you are a Christian is closer than it used to be for Americans. The freedom from such threats has generally existed in this country for a tiny portion of history (about 400 years). We have gotten used to it. It seems like the way [...]
