Be Ready to Give A Reason

Is There A Reason

The true God of the Bible is often spoken of as an evil, vindictive, nasty person when spoken of by atheists and unbelievers. This look through the Old Testament helps us to see there is a reason why God does what He does and that He has every right to destroy.

By The Blood Of Christ

Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus, by a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say his flesh; and having a high priest over the house of God; let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.  Hebrews 10:19-22 In Hebrews 4, we also have God tell us this,  "Let us therefore come boldly unto the ...

He Hath Quickened

"And you hath he quickened, who were dead in trespasses and sins;" ~ Ephesians 2:1 You - Paul is the scribe of this letter and he is writing it to the church in Ephesus.  This by extension would mean that God is speaking to all who are saved today as well. he hath - this wonderful word!  This speaks of God's great ability.  It means the past work, in this case of God.  There is nothing that God is incapable of doing and in this case it is a miracle what he has done! quickened - in this in...

From C.H. Spurgeon's Morning Meditation

Only ye shall not go very far away."—Exodus 8:28. THIS is a crafty word from the lip of the arch-tyrant Pharaoh. If the poor bondaged Israelites must needs go out of Egypt, then he bargains with them that it shall not be very far away; not too far for them to escape the terror of his arms, and the observation of his spies. After the same fashion, the world loves not the non-conformity of nonconformity, or the dissidence of dissent, it would have us be more charitable and not carry matters w...

BEHOLD!

Behold! May God bless us by letting us see intently His great love. His love calls us sons and daughters of His. We! We who were at enmity with Him. We whose sin reveals not love but disdain. We had no good affection for Him as our creator but worshipped the creature instead. What amazing love! Lord, help us to behold your love for us. Lord, how we have failed to be pure and holy. Help us today to purify ourselves that we may be prepared for that day when we see you!

Those That Wait Upon The Lord

Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the Lord , the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.  He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.  Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:  But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be wear...

The Lord's Creation Speaks

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:  Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.  Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?  In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind. Job 12:7‭-‬10   Job, in responding to his friend, declares that the creation of the Lord speaks to us of His work in our lives. Of cou...

Follow In Our Father's Footsteps

Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear children; And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour. Ephesians 5:1, 2 The Lord has made it possible for all who have received Him to follow in HIs footsteps.  This shows God's truly remarkable grace.  As some are overwhelmed at the prospect of following in the footsteps of a father who has accomplished much we should be overwhelmed by the prospect of fo...
