The Miracle of ‘Just Enough’

In the last few years, this lesson is one I have learned well: the lesson of knowing regardless of outward uncontrollable  circumstances, God will provide for our necessities, and that indeed is a ‘miracle of just enough’.
Micey has written a lovely testimony concerning this ‘miracle’ at her blog today: Blessed! The Miracle of Just Enough [...]

Seeking HIS Face

The Day You Met the Master! O’ Glorious Day!

What a wonderful day of emancipation when you come to the end of your own deadly doings and find yourself shut up to the Lord Jesus and His rest in glory!
Whereas you had cried from your heart, ” Oh that I
had wings like a dove! for then would I fly away,
and be at rest,” [...]

Satan’s Bellwether

This little Illustrations From Nature came to me this evening, so I searched through my files hoping to find it. When first coming across it some years back I remember thinking this was a perfect example of what happens to Christians who follow man instead of Christ. When talking to a Pastor about this concept [...]

The Night the Angel Didn’t Come

This is lovely…a wonderful commentary by Jon Bloom at Desiring God blog:
****
Luke says it so quickly, so matter-of-factly: “[Herod] killed James the brother of John with the sword” (Acts 12:2). In the flow of the story this little phrase sets the stage for Peter’s dramatic prison rescue by the angel. So that’s what we remember. [...]

The Silly Sheeple Syndrome

Great post at Theology Today: The Silly Sheeple Syndrome. (and a HT to Wolf Tracks for posting the link)
I can’t believe that people are flocking to this so-called Florida Healing Outpouring and claiming this flesh based “revival” is Holy Spirit inspired. Todd Bentley is a false teacher prophet and dreamer of dreams and visions and [...]

Giving That Gets, in order to Give

Enjoying God Ministries has posted a very good (3) part teaching on the misdirected concepts behind the prosperity Gospel, and what the Bible tells us about: Giving That Gets, in order to Give.
Part (1) an excerpt:
Much has been written in recent years both to defend and to criticize the so-called Prosperity Gospel. The best and [...]

The Task Of The Watchman

From Herald of His Coming:
“1Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,  Son of man, speak to the children of thy people, and say unto them, When I bring the sword upon a land, if the people of the land take a man of their coasts, and set him for their watchman:  [...]

Fear of Man

A nugget from Charles Spurgeon sermon notes:
“The fear of man bringeth a snare: but whoso putteth his trust in the Lord shall be safe.” — Proverbs 29:25
WE have here a double proverb: each half is true by itself; and, put together, the whole is forcible and full of teaching. He who fears man is in [...]

By Nature We Bend Towards That Which is False

Very sobering quote made by A.W. Pink posted at OldTruth blog;
Quoting AW Pink . . .
The Lord’s command in Mark 4:24 is “take heed what ye hear”. Corrupt nature is thoroughly in love with error and will more readily and eagerly receive false rather than true doctrine. Should any dispute this statement, we would [...]

God Cares

Beautiful encouraging message from Anton Bosch:
Sometimes it seems that no one cares about your pain.
David said: “no one is concerned for me. I have no refuge; no one cares for my life” (Psalm 142:4 NIV). Do you sometimes feel like that? Do you sometimes cry out with Solomon that even the kindest acts of [...]

He Made Our Sin His Own

From First Importance: (a wonderful website to start your day with!)
“It is Christ set forth in His blood who is a propitiation; that is, it is Christ who died. In dying, as St. Paul conceived it, He made our sin His own; He took it on Himself as the reality which it is in God’s [...]

The Holy Spirit: Filled and refilled…

“Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof…”
By Opal L. Reddin
Sometimes one word in a conversation can trigger a profitable discussion. During dinner with my new friends, Mike and Jean*, Mike shared a recent experience. They know I am Pentecostal, a member of the Assemblies of God. They are Congregational and charismatic.

How Ten Shekels and a Shirt Came To Be?

Over at SermonIndex tonight, I noticed the new featured sermon this month is Ten Shekels and a Shirt by Paris Reidhead. Its listed in my sidebar but if you’ve never heard it, its one sermon worth listening to—even for a second time. Audio Here
Greg also posted an account written by Paris Reidhead as to how [...]

Knowing Versus Knowing About

Thumbs up to Symphony of Scripture for posting this quote from J.I. Packer.  This is something which I personally, have been reminded of many times.
****
“We are, perhaps, orthodox evangelicals. We can state the gospel clearly; we can smell unsound doctrine a mile away. If asked how one may know God, we can at once produce [...]

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 [...]

Leonard Ravenhill - The Value of the Human Soul

This is excellent. If you’ve been a Christian for any length of time you’ve witnessed false confessions of Christ, as Ravenhill speaks about in this clip…
If interested in sermons from the late Leonard Ravenhill you can find them HERE and HERE.
There is also an excellent post, quoting A.W. Pink which addresses this issue at OldTruth [...]

The Wilderness Wanderer

O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever. Let the redeemed of the LORD say so, whom he hath redeemed from the hand of the enemy; And gathered them out of the lands, from the east, and from the west, from the north, and from the [...]

Seeking “success”? Or oneness with Jesus?

This excerpt posted at CrossRoad, by Gospel for Asia’s K.P. Yohannon shows how totally unbiblical and foolish the prosperity “Gospel” really is…

How much has “your” Bible been used?

A BIG thanks to Four*Pointer for posting the link to this photo and post at Time to Change Churches!
How much has “your” Bible been used?

The above picture was taken at the Transformed event in Florida this past weekend. It is Ray Comfort’s Bible. I would venture to say that he has read his Bible [...]
