Throughout Scripture, God uses language that accommodates mankind. An infinite God does not think or act like His finite creation (Isaiah 55:8,9). The supreme example of God accommodating mankind is the incarnation of His only begotten (uniquely-born) Son, Jesus Christ. God became man (the incarnation) to accommodate man. Accommodation is God’s own presentation of Himself through communication that provides thought-waves…
From the Greek abussos which means bottomless. This word is used in Luke 8:31; Revelation 9:1,11; 11:7; 17:8 and 20:1. Satan and his demon followers will be incarcerated in an abyss during the millennial reign of Christ.
Circuits strike weighted clouds releasing rain and competent power; the sun and moon keep their tabernacle; the planets and stars, void but beautiful, fail not their assignment.
A heart that gives with innocence,how sweet, how dear it’s dwelling place.
Have you ever seen… A butterfly kiss an angel The sun swallowed by the Earth The moon flirt with the night The earth spew from its mouth the sun, like a rising balloon Diamonds in the sky A butterfly perched on a rainbow A white cross over a bottomless pit What happens when… A butterfly kisses an angel When we…
What kind of love is it that causes humanity to choose hell instead of God? Selfish love. What kind of love is it that caused God to send Christ to the cross in spite of humanity’s selfishness? Infinite Love. What kind of love is it that caused God to love us so much that He died for all, and most…
Time is a wise counselor… if we stop, look and listen. There is rest, peace, happiness, freedom and beauty, in Truth. The seeds of injustice should never have been planted. The Lord preserves His Word of Truth, deceit is self-destructive. Lust will burn, endlessly, in the lake of fire. What the unbeliever sows in this life will be reaped forever….
So powerful is human nature that it is successful in trivializing morality – which compromises truth. If truth can be compromised then there is no truth. Morality is a requisite of existence. Without truth there can be no justice, no injustice. Without morality there is no standard except “to each his own.” “Live and let live” is the philosophy of…
In death there is no return address, only forwarding. We must learn to be introspective prospectors. In prophecy the Bible describes the future of history with total accuracy. We now live the ever-present future of history. Childhood is the influencing factor of destiny. Ungodliness is the search for God – making the wrong choices. Worldliness is cosmic (satanic) which contradicts…
If the nature of our physical world were different, would it be empty of matter? If space were different, would it be full or empty? If our vision were untarnished and perfect would we see the unseeable? Would what we then see be the spiritual world of eternity? If we cannot think the unthinkable, is it an empty thought? If…
From the Latin absolutus meaning complete, totally free from restriction. God is absolute Truth. To deny absolute truth is to deny God. God is the all-inclusive embodiment of true reality. God is the only necessary being, which means that He depends on nothing, and everything that is anything depends on God. There can be only one absolute in existence.
Was it not I who pierced His side? Was it not I who drove the nails? Was it not I who crucified the Son? Was it not I He saved from hell? – C. S. Craig
Tidbits of humor and a little more love for the road ahead… Every day (raising four children), was laundry day. Every week day meant getting ready for school, and of course, the daily frustration for the three girls who always had nothing to wear. And of course their older brother didn’t care. Being a parent is not easy, and forgetting…
As darkness settles on wings of night The fireplace warm and burning bright The children nestled under Daddy’s big arms Listening to words of mystical charm Stories from another time Real fantasy in the children’s mind Heroes and villains of long ago Stories of imagery we all know But Daddy’s voice soon fades away His words become whispers never meant…
If you have decided to trust Christ as your personal Savior – Congratulations! You have just made the most important decision of your life.
Reference verses for our study: John 3:15-16; Romans 5:8; Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Peter 2:24; 3:18. All judgment for our personal sin was poured out upon Christ and judged (John 5:27). At the First Advent (Christ coming as a man, as Messiah), Christ was judged for our sin, at the Second Advent (Second Coming) Christ is Judge. Everyone who has rejected…
