What Is Written On Your Record?

What Is Written On Your Record? The Record Of The Sinner Isaiah 30:8 Now go, write it before them in a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the time to come for ever and ever: Isaiah 30:9-13 That this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the LORD: Which say to the seers, See not; and to the prophets, Prophesy not unto us right things, speak unto us smooth things, prophesy deceits: Get you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us. Wherefore thus saith the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and stay thereon: Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant. The record of Judah's failures, their sin and rebellion, and their coming judgment - written forever in God's sight, and in His Word. Jeremiah 17:1  The sin of Judah is wr...

Render Unto God

Render Unto God Matthew 22:15-22 Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle Him in His talk. And they sent out unto Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that Thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest Thou for any man: for Thou regardest not the person of men.

And they brought unto Him a penny. And He saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto Him, Caesar's. Then saith He unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way. The word image is Strong's #1504 and has this definition: from 1503; a likeness, i.e. (literally) statue, profile,...

What Is Man?

What Is Man? This is one of the oldest questions that mankind has asked. If you were to ask the average non-Christian this question today, they would probably give you an answer based on the philosophy of evolution: Man is just another animal - but we are getting better, progressing, rising upwards, evolving. Another closely related philosophy is humanism: Man doesn't need God. Given enough time and resources man can do anything, meet any crisis, solve any problem - all without God. Unfortunately, man cannot solve the most important dilemmas he faces: death, disease, and destruction (wars, murders, and so on) - nor the sin problem ( only God can! ). The heart of the problem is the problem of the heart! Looking at the world around us, we can easily see the effects of man's rebellion against God. Instead of God leaving man to his own destruction, He stepped into our universe as one of us and died for our sins; therefore providing redemption for all who will repent of their sins ...
