Daniel 6:26-27 26 I make a decree that in every dominion of my kingdom men must tremble and fear before the God of Daniel. For He is the living God, And steadfast forever; His kingdom is the one which shall not be destroyed, And His dominion shall endure to the end. 27 He delivers and rescues, And He works signs and wonders In heaven and on earth, Who has delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

Who and When? 1Th 4:13-1Th 4:17

After the rapture or court up: Here is comfort for the relations and friends of those who die in the Lord. Grief for the death of friends is lawful; we may weep for our own loss, though it may be their gain. Christianity does not forbid, and grace does not do away, our natural affections. Yet we must not be excessive in our sorrows; this is too much like those who have no hope of a better life. Death is an unknown thing, and we know…

What will we do in Paradise?

Isaiah 65:17-25 - In the grace and comfort believers have in and from Christ, we are to look for this new heaven and new earth. The former confusions, sins and miseries of the human race, shall be no more remembered or renewed. The approaching happy state of the church is described under a variety of images. He shall be thought to die in his youth, and for his sins, who only lives to the age of a hundred years. The event alone can determine what is meant; but…

So, What’s Your Purpose?

So, What’s Your Purpose? What Makes Your Heart Sing #3

The popular restaurant was noisy. Seems like it always is—whether lunch or dinner. Yet our conversation quickly turned serious when I asked, ‘So, what’s your purpose?’ As people often do, when stalling for time, he asked, ‘What?’ I lowered my head, adjusted my expression and said, ‘Yes, you heard my question … why do you think you are here? What is your purpose?’ He rubbed his chin, rubbing his jawbone…

What will Paradise look like?

Luke 23:43 And he said to him, "Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in Paradise."

God made the visible paradise in the eastern part of the world: but that which we behold with the eyes of our mind is the place of everlasting joy and salvation, through the goodness and mercy of God, a most pleasant rest for the souls of the godly, and a most quiet and joyful dwelling.

Rev 21:1-27 The new heaven and the new earth will not be separate from each other; the…

Where is Heaven?

Throughout the Bible, the word “heaven” is used to describe three locations: First, there is the atmosphere that envelops the earth; this is the first heaven. Next, the vast regions of outer space are collectively referred to as “heaven,” or “the heavens”; this is the "second heaven.” Finally, the location of God’s throne is specifically called “the third heaven” by Paul (2 Corinthians.12:2).

Isa 65:17 Take notice! I'm about to create new heavens and…

Never Give Up

It's so easy to get discouraged when we're striving to do what God wants us to do as I found with myself. We see others sliding by-taking shortcut's. And, they seem to have it all. They reject God's way but good things seem to come to them. It's hard work to do the right thing, But in the end, God's blessings do come to those who do God's good will..

A poem by our dear brother, Ron Payne, who has gone home to be with the Lord

DO NOT WEEP FOR ME!

Stand not at my graveside and weep for me, for I am not there.

I am with the Spirit of God as He moves into your hearts,

To remind you that our separation will be but a fleeting moment.

Stand not at my graveside and weep for me, for I am not there.

Think of me, when you remember my name for then,

I will be thinking of you,

As I…

THE PERSECUTED

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you. …

For they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the corners of the streets, that they may be seen by men. Assuredly, I say to you, they have their reward. 6 But you, when you pray, go into your room, and when you have shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly. 7 And when you pray, do not…

Devo- Repentance

Reading through Psalms, and these verses have really stood out to me. "Who can discern his errors? Forgive my hidden faults. Keep your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me." Psalm 19:12-13

This is a reminder to us that there is so much that we do not know, even about ourselves. It is hard to always discern our motives and actions, and how they relate to God's plan for His people. I am reminded to not only repent of the things that consciously know…

Spurgeon Devotion - July 19, 2015

July 19

Morning

“The Lord our God hath shewed us his glory.”

- Deu_5:24

God’s great design in all his works is the manifestation of his own glory. Any aim less than this were unworthy of himself. But how shall the glory of God be manifested to such fallen creatures as we are? Man’s eye is not single, he has ever a side glance towards his own honour, has too high an estimate of his own powers, and so is not qualified to behold the glory of the Lord. It is…

Morning

“Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.”

- 1Th_1:4

Many persons want to know their election before they look to Christ, but they cannot learn it thus, it is only to be discovered by “looking unto Jesus.” If you desire to ascertain your own election;-after the following manner, shall you assure your heart before God. Do you feel yourself to be a lost, guilty sinner? go straightway to the cross of Christ, and tell Jesus so, and…

Gods miracles at work

Romans 8:26

Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

Once, when my father was hospitalized, I remember driving as fast as I could to the hospital to see him because his condition was deteriorating rapidly. I was just sobbing in my car on the way there. I didn’t know what to pray.…

His Calling, Your Calling?

His Calling, Your Calling? Matthew 9.9-13

I remember how my mother used to relate stories from her youth, waxing nostalgic as she did so—often with a far-away look in her eyes, as she talked about St. Jo, Mizzur-uh (Missouri), about growing up with ten children, and a mama who always had a song on her tongue, usually an old hymn.

Somehow I picture Matthew recalling his first contact with Jesus, in a similar fashion ~ and perhaps…
