The basis for this meditation comes from 1 Corinthians 15:53-58. Living in a broken world, we must reconcile ourselves to the fact that “it is appointed for men to die once…” (Hebrews 9:27). Death is so cruel, so cold, and appears to be so permanent; even having been redeemed from the curse of sin and death our […]
Proverbs 14:2 says, “There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death”, and the same words are repeated in 16:25. The truth is that the fallen nature of man drives him through darkness, and by deception makes him think he is on the right way, while all the time his […]
In Ephesians 5:18 we read, “And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit.” We do not sanction the use of intoxicants because of their mind altering, physical controlling power, the devastating actions they promote, and Biblical considerations, period. While wine appears to be the most tolerable […]
In what is probably the most well-known “faith” chapter in the Bible, Hebrews 11, we are given a glimpse into the life of Abraham when God called him to leave his homeland to go to another country. By faith he began his journey even though he did not know where he was going, simply following […]
Because we, the human race, rejected God’s direction soon after our creation, we were cut off from entering His presence, except through the substitution of an innocent victim. Therefore, the Old Testament laws of sacrifice were established for that era of time; the tabernacle with all its statutes and ordinances was erected and practiced, but […]
There is much in the Bible about the better things God has planned for those who love Him. Today we bring to you the first in a six part series of meditations on a few of those things. In the early verses of Hebrews chapter six, the Apostle lays out the case and peril of […]
The days in which we live are pressing days, with the demands of life and the concerns of the world around us weighing heavily upon us. The spirit of the age would entice us to be so focused on these things that our spiritual infrared vision is blocked; this in turn becomes a blocking mechanism […]
This week we conclude our mini series on “Have you been robbed?” Once again we emphasize from John 10:10 that our enemy, Satan, has a threefold agenda, which is to steal, to kill, and to destroy! Robbing us of health and vitality is another of his key targets. Some physical afflictions are directly attributable to […]
Once again we are reminded that we have a common enemy that is out to rob us of everything God intended and has planned for us, (John 10:10). Satan’s first hatred is against God Himself, originally trying to dethrone Him, according to Isaiah 14:12-15; failing in this, his next attack comes against God’s prime creation, […]
Today we begin a three-part prophetic exhortation that the Lord gave to Rose that we have entitled “Have you been robbed?” The truth of the matter is that we have a common enemy, called Satan, whose goal it is to steal everything God has given and made available to us, because he is a thief […]
