Buy truth, and do not sell it, Get wisdom and instruction and understanding. Proverbs 23:23 I read those words this morning during my time in the word and I couldn’t help but to think of my Mom who always told me to, with great eagerness examine the Scriptures Acts 17:11, to diligently present myself before God as a workman, work hard at it, as not to be ashamed before God. 2 Timothy 2:15. To grow in…
It was Alistair Begg in a recent sermon I listen to who said “Take away the belt of truth and the Armor of God falls off.” At first it was a little comical as I pictured a man with trousers to big for him and they were constantly falling to his ankles in utter shame. He was referring to Ephesians 6:14 where in the NASB it says “Stand firm therefore, HAVING GIRDED YOUR LOINS…
Yesterday was my birthday, not just any birthday but my Fiftieth one… I guess its special to turn the big 5-0, but for me it was just another day, it so happened to fall on the Lord’s Day, I know that sounds cliché, but for me to spend it with my wife of almost 30 years and some dear friends was enough for me, to get text from my family was enough to know I’m…
“The person who is not willing to disrupt and disturb in God’s name cannot be a peacemaker. To come to terms on anything less than God’s truth and righteousness is to settle for a truce – - which confirms sinners in their sin and may leave them even further from the kingdom. Those who in the name of love or kindness or compassion try to witness by appeasement and compromise of God’s Word will…
This morning as the Lord’s Day begins across American and parts of the world, I pray behind the pulpits truth is preached and heard. The Word of Truth Ephesians 1:13 In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of promise. We who believe (John 1:12) Believed not by our will (John 1:13) We believed because we…
I am doing a lesson this Sunday on truth and came across this article. Hope you enjoy. Sometimes the slogan “All truth is God’s truth” is used to justify dealing in any sphere of knowledge as an act of worship or stewardship. The impression is given that just knowing God’s truth and recognizing it as such is a good thing, even a worthy end. But the problem with this is that the devil does…
“We must worship in truth. Worship is not just an emotional exercise but a response of the heart built on truth about God. “The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth” (Psm. 145:18). Worship that is not based on God’s Word is but an emotional encounter with oneself.“ Erwin Lutzer- Pastor to Pastor Soli Deo Gloria Lenny
Have you ever heard the old proverb familiarity breeds contempt? You know the more you know about someone the more you begin to dislike them, or the more likely we are to find fault with them. I remember shortly after God saved me… Now I’m not talking about back in the early 80′s when my dear godly Mother told me to pray a prayer and then I lived the next two decades like the…
Did you ever want to be that proverbial fly on the wall? You know, hanging around listening to all the conversations that go on and the things people say and do. I have often wondered, what really goes on in the oval office… I would love to be a fly on the wall at a strategic meeting of generals just before we attack the enemy. What really intrigues me is just listening to conversations…
