Made In The Likeness of Men

That God would become man to save man is inconceivable to the human mind, yet Christ being “made in the likeness of men” speaks both to the seriousness of our state in sin, and the love of God to rescue man from the eternal consequences of sin.

Pt 5: The Foolishness of Preaching

While many believe that it is in the wisdom of Man by which people may gain eternal life, God has ordained that it would be by the foolishness of preaching by which men shall be saved. It is the preaching of the cross of the Lord Jesus Christ that can save man. Today however, both the serious preaching of the gospel itself is shunned and despised, modern renderings of the Bible itself confirm this trend. Nevertheless, all who are saved can be certain that their own wisdom will save none, therefore they ought to no nothing save “Jesus Christ and him crucified”.

Saved From Hell

What does the Bible teach about Hell? When the jailor asked, “What must I do to be saved?” in Acts 16, an assumption is understood even from those ‘non-religious’ pagans of the world that a life judgement awaits them at death. Today however, most would ask “Saved from What?” “Saved from hell” is the answer in the Scriptures. While the concept of hell is ignored by most, the reality of hell will certainly overtake many.

What Must I Do To Be Saved?

Acts 16:27–31 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here. 29 Then he called for a light, and sprang in, and came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas, 30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved? 31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Faithfulness Pt 6 The Cheerful Giver

The first century church was identified with a people who understood the infinite value of the Gospel and became ‘Cheerful Givers”, what characteristic shall identify the last century church respecting their money? It truly breaks my heart to see what little value most Christians place on the Gospel. It seems that if there is not a personal benefit that comes from giving to support this work, the majority of Christians will get offended when dealing with this topic biblically. It seems that unless the doctrine is preached as a purely “Give so you can get” message, few will support the gospel. Little wonder why the last days are known as days of apostasy. But when we do give for the work of the Lord, then are we taking a share in the work of Christ. Suddenly, those who are not preachers BECOME preachers as they support the work; they who are not evangelists BECOME evangelists as they support the work; they become WRITERS, TEACHERS, NURSES etc, as they support the work through the blessings in which they have been blessed. How sad it is for those who cannot see it, whose hearts are hardened against the simplicity of the doctrine. The Prosperity Gospel is popular, but many hearts are revealed when this topic is dealt with biblically. Pr Edi

Confidence In Christ

“For the which cause I also suffer these things: nevertheless I am not ashamed: for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” (2Timothy 1:12)

Make It Plain

The Gospel ought to be plain, plain to warn people of their danger. Plain that they might seek the safety needed, plain because the danger is certain and plain that both he who takes refuge and he who gives the law should be just.

Jesus: Our Rest

Jesus, Our Rest. Some three and a half thousand years ago approximately two million people were where delivered from the most tyrannical empire in the world at that time.  This empire was officially the first antisemitic people of history, they subjugated and enslaved a body of people who were originally invited to live the country and were originally given the best of the land. But not long after another king arose who did know Joseph, and the people were enslaved.…
