The Sabbath Is About God and His Ongoing Spiritual Creation In Us.

  Exodus 20:8-11 (8) "Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. (9) Six days you shall labor and do all your work, (10) but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the L ORD your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your male servant, nor your female servant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. (11) For in six days the L ORD made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the L ORD blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it. New King James Version We live in a grubby, grasping, material world. Every day challenges us with its built-in bias toward material things. With human nature ever-present within us, it is not hard to overlook spiritual things in the pressured rush to accomplish each day's work. The Sabbath , though, almost forces us to think about the spiritual—about God and His ongoing spiritual creation in us. It presents us with...

The Relevance Of Bible Prophecy And The Old Testament In Christianity Today.

There are many Christians today who do not see any relevance, or very little relevance in the Old Testament much less Bible prophecy.  The Old Testament and Bible Prophecy is the very basis or foundation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ .  It is what the Gospel is based on and where it gets its authority.  Jesus Christ when he was preaching, used the Old Testament and Bible prophecy to back up and support what he was teaching.  When the apostles went out to spread the Gospel as commanded by Jesus Christ, they followed His lead. The Old Testament and Bible Prophecy are the parts of the foundation of the Church that Jesus Crist built .  Jesus said, "Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.  Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.  For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle s...

Jesus Christ Admonishes Those Who Blindly Follow Teachings Of Their Religious Leaders.

Millions of Christians today are deeply religious people and strictly believe and follow the doctrines of the Churches that they belong to.  Is this a good thing?  Can they be assured that they are truly saved?  What does the scriptures have to say about churches who preach a doctrine that cannot be backed up by scripture?   The Scriptures tell us: But there were also false prophets among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you... And many will follow their destructive ways...They are spots and blemishes, carousing in their own deceptions while they feast with you... they speak great swelling words of emptiness.... (2 Peter 2:1-2, 13,18)   Many Christians faithfully attend Church every week.  Ministers, pastors and priests preach from the pulpits from the smallest to the largest churches in the world.  Believers come to the conclusion that Peter must not have been referring to the church in our d...

Regrets

Image
I regret that yesterday, I didn't smile a little more, or give a warmer welcome to a caller at my door. I regret I didn't take the time to call a distant friend, that I wasn't somewhat kinder and left some notes unpinned. I regret I was so cranky and hasty on my way, oh, how I wish that I could change my thoughtless yesterday.   - Virginia Borman Grimmer Don't let today slip by, you may not get a tomorrow!
