Be Ye Holy

I Peter 1:15 – 16 says, “But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy.” Are you holy? What does that even mean? If we have been commanded by God to be holy, should we [...]

Preparing in the Summer

In Ohio, we have now entered the snowy season. This is a time when some of us HOPE for snow while others DISLIKE the snow. Personally, I hope for snow in abundance! Someone who knows the seasons would understand the importance of preparation. Some purchase salt. Some get their snow blowers ready. Others have little [...]

Don’t trust your heart!

What a great Proverb for today and for this day and age.  Proverbs 28:26 says, “He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.”  Wow!  That is pretty clear.  To trust in the guidance of our own heart is to be a fool.  Remember, the “fool” [...]

Holy in Christ

Over the last few days, I began reading a new book entitled “Holy in Christ” by Andrew Murray.  Thus far, it has been a great blessing.  This seems to be a truth that is lost in the popularization seen within mainstream Christianity.  Here are a few quotes from the book: “Learn to cease from your [...]

The Gospel radically changed the position of women in the Roman world. It gave them a new freedom and [...]

J.I. Packer on the Will of God

“Earnest Christians seeking guidance often go wrong.  Why is this?  Often the reason is that their notion of the nature and method of divine guidance is distorted.  They look for a will-o’-the-wisp; they overlook the guidance that is ready at hand and lay themselves open to all sorts of delusions.  Their basic mistake is to [...]

Who is close-minded? (hypocrisy)

The cry of our postmodern society is that there are no absolutes.  Unfortunately, that very statement is self-defeating.  How can you absolutely say there are not absolutes?  God’s Word is truth (John 17:17).  God’s Word is ABSOLUTE Truth! I start by saying this because, there is a statement that is commonly made.  It is the [...]

Quote by Andrew Murray

In his book Abide in Christ, Andrew Murray wisely says: “Who would, after seeing the King’s palace, be content to stand in the door, when he is invited to dwell in the King’s presence, and share with Him in all the glory of His royal life?“ Believer, abide in Christ today!

Repost: Thoughts on Prayer

In Acts chapter ten the Word of God teaches us about Cornelius, a centurion of the Italian band, and God’s answer to his prayer. This man feared God, and his actions proved that he truly did fear God. Peter is the apostle used of the Lord to preach Jesus Christ to this man; but the [...]
