And Can It Be?

For now on I really do have to remember to turn on my voice recorder when I am driving.  I have always had peace when I am alone in my car driving, whether on my way to work, or running simple, mundane errands. I seem to be able to think clearer. I’m able to talk, not…

Let Me Be

LET ME BE Why is it Lord that you should hear my call? My heart is obstinate and hard as a wall, I do my own thing and pleasures for me, Always saying to God, just let me be, But as the heartaches of life start to bring me down, I look for help and…

Priscilla & Aquila

I love this couple way too much. Sometimes they’re called “Priscilla and Aquila” as in Rom. 16:3. In the Greek, their names would be pronounced as “pris’-cil-lah” and “ak-oo’-las”. I love that. Sometimes this dynamic duo is also called, as in 2 Tim. 4:19, Prisca and Aquila. Some say that Prisca is a shorthand version…

Faithful Sons Of God Shining As Lights

Php 2:13  For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.  Php 2:14  Do all things without murmurings and disputings:  Php 2:15  That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom…

THE RECIPE FOR PEACE 

There are two things that most people desire, not only today, but throughout history.  Number one is peace.  Number two is money.  And, many believe that more money can create peace.   This is impossible, because the lack of peace is within each and very human being.  James, though addressing the 12 Tribes of Israel (James 1:1), had some incredible…

Timothy Risks His Life

2 Tim. 4:9-22 2Ti 4:9 Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 2Ti 4:10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 2Ti 4:11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to…

The Great School of Grace

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Tit 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Tit 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus…

God is Love

There was an amazing article a couple of years ago found in the Christian Post and written by a lady named Hedieh Mirahmadi. The article was called, “What Drew Me Out of Islam to Follow Christ.” Hedieh shared a list of points about how to witness to a Muslim. At the top of her list…

In the Beginning…

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. The Beginning vs. the End I love the comparison between the end and the beginning of all things. J. Sidlow Baxter in his “Explore the Book” wrote, “A comparison of Genesis to Revelation proves that this book is a completed revelation of God…

Our Everlasting Consolation

2 Thess. 2:13-17 2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 2Th 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of…

Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing

Col 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days: Col 2:17 Which are a shadow of things to come; but the body is of Christ. Col 2:18 Let no man beguile you of your reward…

Christ – The Firstborn from the Dead

The idea of resurrection is fantastical. A concept of myth and legends. Resurrection stands in contrast to that which we commonly and naturally experience and see. Death governs our life. It produces fear, marks decisions, and encourages us to lay hold on this life – this life before death. Yet, resurrection although may be legend…

Passion Week

Hello, saints! Below is a collection of 4 articles on Supply of Grace in which I explored in chronological order the final days of the Lord’s life on Earth and His resurrection. I took the four Gospel accounts and combined them into a single narrative in chronological order. I also tried to highlight every time…

Asceticism for the Mind

1 Tim. 4:1-7 4:1 Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; 4:2 Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; 4:3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath…

The Mystery of Godliness

1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified…

Portrait of the Antichrist

The word “antichrist,” which is only used by John (1 Jn. 2:18, 2:22, 4:3, & 2 Jn. 1:7), is one who is opposed to Christ, one who is against Christ, one who is the antithesis of everything that Christ is, and he is also one who denies Christ and the Father (1 Jn. 2:22). I…

The Sufficiency of His Grace

2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from…

The Lord’s Table & The Table Of Devils

1Co 10:20  But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 1Co 10:21  Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of…

Effectually Worketh

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. – 1 Thessalonians 2:13 The Word…

The Good of Good Works

Good works are a “peculiar” thing (Tit. 2:14). By “good works” I mean that which God describes them as. This world may foolishly describe their works as good, but “is that true?” In order, for the world to lay claim to their works being good, such must be rooted in truth. For we must be…
