“And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness . . . Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong” (1Co 12:9, 10). The thorn in...

Though the old man’s ways beset, yet only for a time Till the saint sees troubles clear, to lay them all behind The skies now cloud-cleared, and as oft as thou would No troubles or disappointments, but walking as thou should Now standing through assails, encouraged with all might Ever seeing...

The Church and Body of Christ is the most important entity to God, for it is the reason for Him creating all things (even angels - Heb 1:14; 1Pe 1:12), and is the sole being created after Himself! NC The Gospel & the Church I think it is of greatest importance to hold to the truth...

This is a post from before that I’m reposting for the sake of others who did not get it. NC From Common to Uncommon When the light first breaks in on the soul, it is sweet to it, to the new life nature. It is the work of the Spirit (Jhn 3:5, 6, 8); but in order to promote it, and to enjoy...

Hi, and thanks for the reply! God bless!!

Nothing is more valuable to God than His children, which are in the same significance as Himself, giving us His Son as He did! There’s no doubt that they mean more to Him than the angels, for it was for those in Christ that He made them “ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who...

How often have you needed the encouragement that comes from the Word of God? Of course there’s nowhere to go to get the type of encouragement it gives! It may not be immediate (but sometimes could be) but it eventually gives direction and purpose to the believer who continues to think on the...

Hi, and I like your comments, and thanks for the reply. We will also reign with the Lord Jesus from the new heaven, teaching and guiding the Jews who did not believe in Christ until they see Him, but believed in God (Jn 14:1).

Hi, and like what you said; and the Kingdom will soon be here. The part of the Kingdom we have now (Eph 1:13, 14; 4:30) is the Spirit within, Who uses the Life of the Lord Jesus in us (Col 3:4).

Hi, and thanks for your reply and comments! God bless!

In my opinion no matter what happened He had to secure our salvation through His sacrifice. No sacrifice no redemption. He may have secured it for the Jews when believing in Him, but that was a calling only to them (special). The calling of the Gentiles is different than the Jews who believe in...

The phrase “Kingdom of Heaven” occurs only in the Gospel of Matthew, where it is found thirty-one times. What does it mean? Here is a failure of the interpretation of the Word of God; most of the error and confusion around us springs from the false conception of the Kingdom of Heaven. It is...

That's ok, thanks for the kind reply. God bless! ]

The Old Testament saints were saved (same as forgiven by the Levitical priesthood practices (e.g. Num 15:24-27). They just had to believe in God and obey Him; but there was no regeneration like a Christian because that wasn't possible until Christ. God knew most of Israel wouldn't believe in...

Good question. I think this is probably the best explanation: "that he may sift you as wheat"; not to separate the chaff from the wheat, but to make them look like all chaff, by covering the wheat of grace with the chaff of sin and corruption; or to destroy the wheat, was it possible; or to...

The Lord Jesus revealed two distinct lines of truth. In the first, He presented Himself as Israel’s Messiah and called upon that nation for their long-predicted national repentance, in which He also declared the character of His earthy kingdom rule (Millennium—NC), and Himself as the Fulfiller...

“Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be...

It’s a very distracting thing, to walk without our own righteousness, but this tests our humility in the fact that we have “the old man,” and that we are willing to endure whatever it takes to be right with God, and have Him for our own. We know it is more than well worth of knowing sin and...

Hi and God bless!

“For we are members of His body, of His flesh, and of His bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the Church” (Eph 5:30-32). The special mystery...
