Give Your Burdens To The Lord Give your burdens, your cares, your struggles to the Lord and let Him hold you up. Remember, you are always on His heart and being carried on His shoulders. Matthew 11:28-30 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. 1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. The word casting means “to throw upon.” Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. You don’t have to carry that weight, that burden. Throw it upon the Lord. If you can’t even do that, roll it upon Jesus, drop it at His feet. Whatever, however, just give it to Him. Exodus 28:9-12 And thou shalt take two onyx stones, and grave on them the names of the children of Israel: Six of their names on one stone, and the...

Leprosy And Its Cure - A Picture Of Sin And The Saviour Luke 5:12 And it came to pass, when He was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy : who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought Him, saying, Lord, if Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean. Mark 1:40 And there came a leper to Him, beseeching Him, and kneeling down to Him, and saying unto Him, If Thou wilt, Thou canst make me clean. Here was a leper, desperate for healing, beseeching the Lord Jesus Christ to heal him. He realized that Jesus was his only hope, and he turned to Him in faith, knowing that He alone had the power to heal him and make him clean. In the Bible, there are several different kinds of leprosy represented, but there are some characteristics that all of these kinds have in common. All through the Bible leprosy is used as a picture and type of sin. There are five main points I want us to glean from this look at leprosy and its cure. Please read Leviticus 13-14 to get the context of my comments. First Th...

Lessons In The Valleys: The Valley Of The Shadow Of Death Part One Before he was a king, David was a shepherd. He knew all the responsibilities and requirements of a shepherd. He knew how to care for and protect his own sheep. As a believer, he knew the contentment and satisfaction of being one of the Lord's sheep. The Lord was David's Shepherd. Like an earthly shepherd cares for his sheep in all ways - feeding, watering, leading, protecting from the dangers of the wild, nurturing - so too does the Lord God care for His sheep. Psalms 23:1 A Psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. In order for the Lord to be your Shepherd, you must be one of His sheep. Has there ever been a time and place in your life when you have repented of your sin (turned from sin in your heart, turned from going your way) and turned to the Saviour to save you? The Bible teaches in Leviticus 17:11, that the blood of an animal sacrifice must be shed to cover our sins, "for it is the b...

The Rock Of Horeb Water Out Of The Rock - Living Water Exodus 17:1-6 And all the congregation of the children of Israel journeyed from the wilderness of Sin, after their journeys, according to the commandment of the LORD, and pitched in Rephidim: and there was no water for the people to drink. Wherefore the people did chide with Moses, and said, Give us water that we may drink. And Moses said unto them, Why chide ye with me? wherefore do ye tempt the LORD? And the people thirsted there for water; and the people murmured against Moses, and said, Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and our cattle with thirst? And Moses cried unto the LORD, saying, What shall I do unto this people? they be almost ready to stone me. And the LORD said unto Moses, Go on before the people, and take with thee of the elders of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith thou smotest the river, take in thine hand, and go. Behold, I will stand before thee there upon the roc...

  True Worship Many people in our day call attending a church service or listening to some music (for example, a Christian rock concert) as worshipping the Lord (ie. a worship service, praise and worship). While we certainly can worship the Lord through our singing (ie. praising Him and giving Him glory through song - of course, through God-honouring music!), but worship is not primarily that or limited to that. Many can go through the motions; and getting some feeling (or emotional high) through the music is not worship. Basic definitions of worship , based on the words used in the Bible: to bow down or prostrate onself in humble submission/homage; glorifying the Lord through praise, prayer, and song; to serve; to kiss or adore; to revere (to have Godly fear of the Lord); to be pious towards (ie. devoted to). Way Of Life Encyclopedia gives this definition: "To bow down; to honor; to exalt; to pay homage; to reverence." The word worship basically means to give worth to somet...

1 Corinthians 13:12 1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. As with other passages of Scripture (such as John 8:32; Isaiah 11:6; 1 Corinthians 2:9), this verse is one that is often misquoted in such a manner as to give a meaning contrary to what the context states. Many use this verse to justify ecumenical gatherings and doctrinal confusion by stating that now we can only see through a glass darkly , and we will not be able to see clearly (ie. understand the Scriptures completely - at least in a way to remove all doctrinal confusion) until we get to Heaven, but is this verse really teaching that? I emphatically say, "no, it isn't!" As a matter of fact, this verse and whole passage is stating that when we get the perfect (complete) canon of Scripture we will be able to see clearly . The Holy Spirit has revealed the truth and opened up many things to us in the New...

Come - Invitations From God Come to the Marriage Supper of the Lamb: Luke 14:16-23  Then said he unto him, A certain man made a great supper, and bade many: And sent his servant at supper time to say to them that were bidden, Come; for all things are now ready. And they all with one consent began to make excuse. The first said unto him, I have bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go and see it: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused. And another said, I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come. So that servant came, and shewed his lord these things. Then the master of the house being angry said to his servant, Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, and the blind. And the servant said, Lord, it is done as thou hast commanded, and yet there is room. And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the hig...
