In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory. Eph 1:11-13 “We receive comfort and joy and strength from the knowledge...
“The Bible is alive, it speaks to me; it has feet, it runs after me; it has hands, it lays hold on me.” Martin Luther For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything...
A Banquet of God’s Glory: Psalm 119:1-8“Now the main thing is to get the eyes of the people open. They need to see hell as the result of their sin, and that produces fear, the fear of God which is the beginning of wisdom. Once they get this fear all will be comparatively easy; but if this fear does not lay hold of a man, his so-called conversion is a sham. True love wakens a man to reality;...
Open my eyes that I may see the wonderful things in Your law. “Psalm 119:18” BACKGROUND: When most people think of Psalm 119, they do not think of delight; duty maybe, but not delight. After all, it is the longest chapter in the Bible. And, how can you get excited about law, word, precepts, commandments, testimony, statutes and decrees? It seems so impersonal and laborious. It may be exciting for a legalist or a lawyer, but not an ordinary...
No matter how hard you try, sometimes you can’t avoid conflict. At the picnic last week I was given the choice of either playing volleyball or spoons. Knowing volleyball and some of the persons who would be playing I decided that spoons would be a much safer place to recreate. I was wrong. A Russian lady tried to yank a spoon out of my hand and I still have scars to prove it. I didn’t let her get...
George Mueller was known for his faith. He was used by God to house over 10,000 orphans over his life span. Although he was able to care for thousands of precious orphans, helping them was not his primary goal. His purpose in ministering to those children was to magnify the glory of Jesus Christ. He did this primarily by depending upon Christ to supply their needs through prayer alone. He determined that he would ask for money from no man....
He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. Col 1:15-19 “The point is this: We were made to know and treasure the glory of God above all things; and when we trade that treasure for images, everything is disordered....
O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you. Ps 63:2-3 “Evangelical Christians have...
God is no fonder of intellectual slackers than of any other slackers. If you are thinking of becoming a Christian, I want you to know that you are embarking on something which is going to take the whole off you, brains and all. C. S. Lewis Think on what I am saying, for the Lord will give you insight into all this. 2 Tim 2:6-7 We do our Lord and his glory a great disservice by failing to challenge our people to...
We at GMTB love the clear bold witness of John Wesley. He confidently and joyfully declared the sufficiency of God’s Word. Tragically, today many church leaders have lost that confidence. Many doubt whether the Bible is really a sufficient resource for the growing and healing of the church in such a hostile and sick environment. Many in the church have lost their confidence in the power of God’s Word and have been intimidated into silence.
