“Do you See What I See?”    Romans 9.1-5

Christmas, 1969—school Christmas pageant.  I was sure that when Darlene Goss sang ‘Do You Hear What I Hear?’ there was no more beautiful girl alive.  Now, I was in 5^th grade and she was in 6^th, but I thought she was magnificent, and her song alluring.  Of little lambs and dancing stars and shepherd boys… all asking, “Do you Hear What I Hear?  ‘See what I see?”  Then the shepherd boy asks the king, “Do you know what I…

6 MESSAGES TO THE CHURCH

Introduction:

In May 2006, a servant of God was brought to Heaven to meet with the Lord Jesus and receive a revelation of 6 messages.  Brani Duyon, age 52, serves in the Borneo Evangelic Church, Kota Belud, Sabah (in East Malaysia) as an Elder.  He…

No More My God, I boast no more

Of all the duties I have done

I quit the hopes I held before,

To trust the merits of They Son

No more my God

No more my God

No more my God

I boast no more.…

Good Morning! 

Just the other day, we saw how plainly, how passionately Paul articulated the value of God’s love in his life . . . and that, no thing and no one would ever separate him (or us) from the unconditional, all-consuming love of God.  Reading further, I have to ask myself if Paul was schizophrenic; he now says he would be willing to forego his relationship with God  . . . IF it would mean that the Jewish people would come to saving faith in Christ. Let go of…

Two people. podcast:

There is an old guy . . . there is a young guy.

Both are Christians . . . both are controversial.

One has violated a Scriptural truth, and maybe the other has too.

Let’s start with the old guy.  He has predicted that Jesus Christ is coming back next Saturday, May 21st to judge all of humankind and to gather up the faithful.(1)  That, Friends, is contrary to what Jesus said about his second coming.  "No one knows about that day or hour,…

This post is a response to Kayla's inquiry about prayer. When she brought up her uncertainty about the correctness of her prayer, the first thing that came into my mind is the book of Psalms - the inspired prayer book of the Bible. Someone said that in the Psalms, we learn to pray in the school of prayer from the masters themselves. I believe these masters were…

There are times when each of us are in the pits, when life just seems to be upside down and nothing seems to be going right. As you read the Psalms, you realize King David often felt this way.

Take Psalm 88 for example. In verses 2-6 he says, Let my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry. For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to the grave. I am counted with those who go down to the pit; I am like a man who has no strength, adrift among…

If the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand



So thou, O son of man, I have set thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; therefore thou shalt hear the word at my mouth and warn them from me



Say unto them, As I live says the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked;…

Two things.  (and then Romans 9)

I am not in control.  Oh sure, I can make plans and even commit them to my calendar, but in the end, I do not control whether this thing or that thing will come to pass.  ‘Fact is, I can make all sorts of plans, but the final outcome is in God’s hands.  It was many years ago when I memorized these verses, “Come now, you who say, "Today or tomorrow we will go to such and such a city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit. Yet…

The presence of God turned the rock into a pool, the hard rock into springs of water (Psalm 114:7-8). This is a historical fact recorded in the Bible (Numbers 20:1-13). It is a literal rock turned into springs of water.

What are the lessons we can learn from these two verses in Psalm 114? I think it is this: that no matter how difficult our…

I am trying to find the lyrics to this song. Well this is all the words I know and I am not sure they are right.

I keep coming back to the well of grace

Great is his power,

Sweet is his taste

With every temptation or trial I face 

I keep coming back to the well
