Buy The Truth

In light of several friends dealing with loved ones who have cancer, I wanted to make this testimony available. My Mom trusted the Lord for salvation and got cancer, the complications of which led to her being taken home to her Heavenly Father. While it certainly was a hard trial, God did so much in and through our lives, that it was obvious He was still in control and had a plan, a reason, for this trial. I am not the same person I was. I believe the Lord used this trial to make me a little more like Him, a little more of the Christian He wants me to be. Our Mom's Victory Through Faith Eulogy for Malonie Trembllay (Smith) By her son, Jerry Bouey, and daughter, Lori McCoy Jesus wept. It was at the graveside of His friend Lazarus. While the Saviour observed the grief of His friends, He identified fully with that grief, was moved with compassion for their loss, and He groaned in His spirit and was troubled. Then... Jesus wept. Who would have thought this - the shortest verse in the ...

Upheld By The Lord He's got the whole world in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands, He's got the whole world in His hands. Pretty simple song. A child's song, showing child-like faith and trust in the Lord God. It has various other verses to it, all teaching that God has this whole world held in His hands. It is a song of comfort and assurance. This is the theme I wanted to study out together with you today. Tracing the words upheld and uphold in their various forms throughout the Bible show that the first time this word is used was by one of Job's friends who was rebuking Job for his doubts during his time of trouble: Job 4:3-6 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands. Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees. But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. Is not this thy fear, thy co...

When I Consider Thy Heavens Have you ever gazed down into the Grand Canyon or looked up at a tall mountain – and felt small in comparison? Have you ever looked up at the stars, thought of how small you were in the midst of the universe – almost like a speck of dust in comparison with the vastness of space? I believe that is some of what the Psalmist, David, felt when he penned Psalm 8 under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. Psalms 8:1, 3-6 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens... When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: The definition Strong's Concordance gives for mindf...

Was Hebrews Written By Paul? Here are some reasons why I believe Hebrews was written by Paul. First some comments from A.W. Pink on the writer of the book of Hebrews. That this Epistle was written by Paul is clear from 2 Peter 3:15. Peter was writing to saved Jews as the opening verses of his first Epistle intimates; 2 Peter 3:1 informs us that this letter was addressed to the same people as his former one had been. Then, in Hebrews 10:15, he declares that his beloved brother Paul "also according to the wisdom given unto him hath written unto you ." If the Epistle to the Hebrews be not that writing, where is it? Before taking up the study of the opening verses of our Epistle, let us adduce further evidence that the apostle Paul was the writer of it. To begin with, note its Pauline characteristics . First, a numerical one. There is a striking parallel between his enumeration in Romans 8:35-39 and in Hebrews 12:18-24. In the former he draws up a list of the things which shal...
