The Light

I held this love up to the light,

to see what grips my heart so tight.

What secret power lies within,

that softens hearts of callus men.

I held this love up to the light,

searching for the source so bright.

Could this love just be my own,

that reaches out to all unknown.

I held this love up to the light,

to understand with all my might.

The answer came from up above,

it was the 'Light' that was this… Continue

Love is Not Conceited

Love is not conceited (arrogant and inflated with pride) (ou physiOUtai) Original Greek Definition: To inflate, blow or puff up. In the NT spoken only figuratively of pride or self-conceit. Also from phySAo-:emphySAo- (1720), to breathe on, blow on. Before we get into this section of Love, I wanted to share something from Calvin.

"Nothing swells the minds of men so much as a high notion of their own wisdom"

(Calvin, p. 471).

We, Christians, know that… Continue

Love and Hate

Many people that I have talked to, speak of love and hate as opposite from each other. My friends, it's just not true. Something is opposite love but it is not hate. What it is and why this is important for us to know, is the object of this section in our study of love.

We know that God is Love and so love is not something God created.

I John 4 8. He who does not love has not become acquainted with God [does not and never did know Him], for God is love.

God is… Continue

Love is Kind

Like Patience, Kindness also comes into the Christian by grace, through the Holy Spirit. It is the fruit of Gods Love, now abiding in us, as a result of our decision to Trust in and Rely upon Him. Kindness is produced in us by the Holy Spirit in seasons of spiritual growth. This growth is the result of the love that the Holy Spirit brings into us and our growing knowledge of GODS truth, (His WORD).

As the TRUTH about ourselves and each other is revealed to us (we are all sinners,… Continue

This Thing Called Love

This is a study of Gods Word concerning the source; importance; meaning; and application of the teachings about Love.

The verses from Mat 22:34-40 and the first three verses of I Cor 13 (together) had been on my mind for some time before I attempted to prepare this study. It seemed like the Lord would not let me rest with the relevance of this subject in relation to the teachings of the church.

While you will find many loving churches that teach subjects relating to love,… Continue

The Triumph of Wings

They shall mount up with wings as eagles - Isa. 40:31

Let us learn like a bird for a moment to take

Sweet rest on a branch that is ready to break:

She feels the branch tremble, yet gaily she sings,

What is it to her ? She has wings, she has wings !

- Victor Hugo

On many mornings I have seen one of God's little creatures of the sky standing upon a flimsy branch pouring forth his sweetest melodies. What a wonderful chorister is he, and an… Continue

To Him belongs the glory

For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory for ever! - Romans 11:36

'Oh, the beauty of nature!' we whisper at God's Window in Mpumalanga, South Africa. 'Oh the depth!' we ought to stammer about God. How exultant the examples of His wisdom and knowledge, of His caring, His intelligence and insight! The entire ecology sings of His wisdom and the love immanent in God's plan of redemption.

When Paul sought to look into the heart, the majesty,… Continue

What It Means to me being a Christian

In today's society, we are faced with so much stress. However, I can recall my Bible teachers from long time ago say put all your trust in Jesus. Believe in John 3:16 bc Jesus is the only way to the father which is God. I truly feel that people will naturally fail trying to live in perfect accordance to the ten commandments. However, with church and counseling a person can see that our Lord Jesus has always been there and he will always be there especially in times of trouble. Like I said,… Continue

Another Tozer Quote......

"Any objection to the carryings on of our present gold-calf Christianity is met with the triumphant reply, ”But we are winning them!” And winning them to what? To true discipleship? To cross-carrying? To self-denial? To separation from the world? To crucifixion of the flesh? To holy living? To nobility of character? To a despising of the world’s treasures? To hard self-discipline? To love for God? To total committal to Christ? Of course the answer to all these questions is….. no." -A.W. Tozer

Holy Spirit is God And Jesus Christ Is God

THE HOLY SPIRIT AS GOD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT

In the first two quotes, God refers to the Holy Spirit in the first person pronoun. The rest of the quotes are from Jesus, Paul and Peter quoting the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of God.

1. The Lord God said, "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them" (Ezekiel 36:27).

2. "And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live and I shall place you in your… Continue

THIS IS WHAT'S HOLDING BACK THE RAIN

The consideration of God's universal dominion, and the universal acknowledgment of it, should restrain us from all irreverence in His service.

It is a righteous thing with God to withhold the blessings of grace from those that do not attend the means of grace, to deny the green pastures to those that attend not the shepherd's tents.

Many are crossed, and go backward, in their affairs, and this is at the bottom of it - they do not keep close to the worship of God as they… Continue
