Buy The Truth

Is God Limited By Our Past? My purpose in this study is to exhort God's children to a greater level of trust in the Lord Jesus Christ; but, first, to do that we need to seriously look at where we are now, or may have been. We must look to the Great Physician for His diagnosis, and then put into practice the truths that we find. The cure starts with being honest with ourselves and with the Lord. (See Psalm 51:6) As we peer intently into the mirror of God's Word, we will clearly discern our reflection, and then be able to clean up any areas of our lives that need it. The question this study seeks to answer is: Is God limited? The immediate response of most Christians would be a resounding, "No!" But is that really true? If that answer was correct, why do so many professing Christians live like the Lord was limited in their own lives? Why do they say they believe in God's omniscience and omnipotence, but then conduct themselves as if these very truths had no practica...

The Touch Of Faith Matthew 9:12-13 But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick. But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance. Matthew 9:20-22 And, behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years, came behind him, and touched the hem of his garment: For she said within herself, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour. Mark 5:25-34 And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but...

Our Hope In Christ This study builds on The Hope Of Your Calling . Romans 15:13 Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. 1 Corinthians 13:7 Charity... (love for both God and man) Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. The Biblical definition of the word hope is a "confident expectation." If you have trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, there are many things that the Lord has promised to do in your life. What are some of the things we are to have hope for, that we are to be confidently expecting in Christ? Hope in the resurrection: Psalms 16:8-11 I have set the LORD always before me: because he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou wilt shew...

Numbers In The Bible Series: Day 18 - Paul's Final Exhortation To Timothy - Part Four The Preacher And His Victory 2 Timothy 4:6-8 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. His Fight The following is quoted from Pilgrim's Progress , an allegory written by John Bunyan. At this point in the story, Christian had just gotten saved and was now in the House of the Interpreter (who represented the Holy Spirit), having various things explained to him. This was the first thing he was shown: "Then said Interpreter, Come in; I will show thee that which will be profitable to thee. So he commanded his man to light the candle, and bid Christian follow him; so he had him into a private ro...

Isaiah's Fear Of The Lord Proverbs 14:26 In the fear of the LORD is strong confidence: and his children shall have a place of refuge. Strong's Concordance defines confidence as "properly, a refuge, i.e. (objective) security, or (subjective) assurance." And refuge means "to flee for protection; figuratively, to confide in." When we fear the Lord, He is our confidence, our refuge, our place to flee from in the storms of life - whether they be caused from trials or from enemies that desire to do us harm. In Isaiah chapter 8, we see God's rebuke of the nations around Israel that were seeking to injure them. God doesn't take it lightly when the children of the devil seek to mess with God's children! Though I am unsure of the exact date of this prophecy, I believe it is sometime near the time that the Northern Kingdom (ie. the ten Northern tribes) were carried away into captivity by Assyria, which took place in 722 B.C. Isaiah was ministering to the ...

Comfort And Strength From Psalm 27 Psalm 27:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? Notice how David used personal pronouns throughout this Psalm. The Lord was his light, his salvation, the strength of his life. If there has been a time and place in your life that you received the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour, then these passages apply directly to you also. The Lord is your Light - He is the one that shines His Word on your path, that lightens your way, that enlightens your understanding. Are you following Him? Then, why fear? The Lord is your Salvation - then why fear? If He has already delivered you from your sins, then trust God to deliver you ( in His time ) from whatever trials you are facing now... and trust Him meanwhile to give you grace to persevere in them and learn what He would have you learn about His work and His will in your life. "The powers of dar...
