The Mysteries of Omnipotence The LORD demonstrates His power in the winds, the whirlwinds and the storms. At the LORD’S command the rivers rise and the rivers dry up. The lush green forests wilt, and the pastures wither. The mountains tremble, and the hills melt. The earth quakes, nations rise and fall. The earth turns, life endures. Thank you LORD…
Divine Energy – Omnipotence and Immutability To begin our short study, we’ll cover a few basic points. There are two Laws of Thermodynamics: The First Law of Thermodynamics is that of energy conservation. This law states that although energy can change forms, it cannot be created nor destroyed and therefore the sum total remains constant. Thus no energy is now…
God’s Love Okay, let’s begin another journey toward God, together: A CLOSER LOOK AT GOD’S LOVE The Bible tells us that God is Love, but that does not imply that He is sentimental. God does not bless or reward our human-good works or our sincerity in wanting to please Him (Isaiah 53:6; 64:6). As fallen humanity we do not and…
Good, Great, Chief Shepherd GOOD, GREAT, CHIEF SHEPHERD The following footnote on John, chapter 10, verse 11 is from the Lindsell Study Bible, Concordance, Published by Tyndale, Page 164: “Christ is called the Good Shepherd in John 10:11, the Great Shepherd in Hebrews 13:20, and the Head or Chief Shepherd in 1 Peter 5:4. The Good Shepherd died for His…
God is Infinite Unfailing Love WE LOVE BECAUSE GOD FIRST LOVED US (1 John 4:7-21) God in His Word declares “I AM, that I AM.” “God IS” (Exodus 3:14). The Bible declares that “God is Love”—this simple yet significant statement reveals that love is what God IS as well as what God does. No one can fully understand God, or God’s…
Walking with Our Paraclete (The Holy Spirit) The modern world of secularism has done deep damage, deep treason to eternal Truths, and it is up to Christians to stand fast on Truth, to pray to the Father for guidance, to study God’s Word daily, and to spread the Gospel. We are to plant seeds of God’s Truths wherever the Holy…
Notes on God and Grace As that timeless hymn tells us, “Grace, grace, God’s grace! Greater than all the world to me. There is perhaps no greater word brought over from the Greek language that can more adequately describe our undefinable God, than grace. Grace may be defined as: “All that God is free to do for man based on…
Forty Grace Gifts This study was originally compiled by Lewis Sperry Chafer and consisted of “Thirty-Six Things God Provides for Every Believer at Salvation.” Lewis Sperry Chafer founded Dallas Theological Seminary. It has been revised to Forty Gifts by RBT Bible Ministries and is presented here on WOTM for the perfecting of the saints (all believers are saints); for the…
King of kings and Lord of lords Jesus Christ truly is the King of kings Preeminent. Jesus Christ is the “Preeminent One” in the universe and He earned the right to this title. Colossians 1:18 concludes with a purpose clause: “that in all things He might have the preeminence.” God the Father declared that His Son would be the Preeminent…
“I will make your enemies a footstool for your feet” 1. The act of making Christ’s enemies into His footstool can be called, “Operation: Footstool.” This is a somewhat elaborate and military-type term for when the Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth (at His Second Coming—the Second Advent) where He establishes His kingdom and personally removes Satan and all the…
Divine Essence in the Persons of the Godhead Everything that makes up God’s divine essence (the essential things that make God who and what He is) are ascribed to each of the three persons of the Godhead (Deuteronomy 6:4; Mark 12:29). Sovereignty: The Father is said to work “all things after the counsel of His own will” (Ephesians 1:11; cf….
The Divine Decrees Keeping It Simple – Our objective is centered around our Savior, Jesus Christ, because everything that God the Father does for mankind flows through the cross. The cross of Christ is man’s contact point with God, it is man’s restoration point, the place of forgiveness and mercy. The place where God’s justice and love are displayed for…
The Powerhouse of God Note: This study, and several others, appear beneath several study categories on our site. This is intentional. In Acts 10, Peter spoke these words: “You know of Jesus of Nazareth, how God anointed Him with the Holy Spirit and with power, and how He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil,…
Salt of the Earth – Light of Life “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6). The work necessary for man’s deliverance is the overall plan of God, which centers around and through His Son, Christ Jesus the Lord (John 3:15-18,36; Acts 16:31; Romans 5:8). Apart from accepting Christ as one’s personal Savior, we can do nothing…
Wonderful Words THE WONDERFUL WORDS OF CHRIST THE UPPER ROOM DISCOURSE Please open your Bible to John chapter 13. In the Book of John, chapter 13, Jesus shared His last evening with His disciples and the experience is recorded for all generations of believers. In verses 18-30, Jesus foretells His betrayal by Judas. Then Judas goes away, out into the…
Love – What Exactly Is It? Someone once wrote: “Who can understand the motives of love? Love does not do according to reason: love has its own reason for loving that even reason does not understand.” The love of God watches from a distance His unfaithful children. The love of God chose to go to the cross of shame and…
God’s Wisdom – Grace Orientation UNDERSTANDING DIVINE DESIGN – GOD’S PLAN FOR YOU AND ME Please open the Word of Truth to Isaiah 58:11. The pastor-teacher’s primary function is to communicate God’s Word to the congregation. God’s Word is Divine Viewpoint. The Holy Spirit uses God’s Word to transform the believer’s human viewpoint to divine viewpoint. As we learn God’s…
The Mercy Seat – The Doctrine of Propitiation (God is totally satisfied with the substitutionary death of Christ for us). GOD IS SATISFIED. ARE YOU? A SUMMARY FOR STUDY — A SUPPLEMENT FOR YOUR EDIFICATION INTRODUCTION – BACKGROUND DETAILS FOR OUR STUDY The object of this ministry is to exhort you, as a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, to…
“He Must Increase” “He must increase, I must decrease” John 3:30-36. Every consideration that appeals to the ambitions of men is offered by the world, but sic transit gloria mundi (thus passes away the glory of the world). As we begin our study ask yourself: Am I decreasing? What about promotion or success—how are you handling it? If success and…
Grace Revisited INTRODUCTION God pre-designed the plan of grace before the foundation of the world; Jesus Christ executed the plan; the Holy Spirit reveals the plan through Bible doctrine to mankind. The word grace and its eternal meaning were forever exalted by the incarnation of Jesus Christ in hypostatic union (which means both God and man simultaneously). The one and…
