Reflections
Greetings and blessings to all of you. It has been said that only the Gospel can bridge the great divide…between Evolutionist and Creationist. Our culture is increasingly skeptical of the transcendent, objective truth claim that the Jesus is the only Way and The Word of God is true. They do not believe in the account of the Creation. In Gen. 2:4,7,21-22 the Word says, “this is the account of the heavens and the earth when they were created…the Lord God formed the man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living b...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In 1 Tim. 6:3-4 the Word of God says, “If anyone teaches different things and does not consent to healthy words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the teaching which is according to godliness, he is blinded with pride, understanding nothing, but is diseased with questionings and contentions of words, out of which come envy, strife, slanders and evil suspicions.” What are “healthy words?” The words of our Lord Jesus Christ are words of life. The healthy words of the Lord are the source of the teaching that is according...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. Paul states in I Cor. 15:29-32 “Now if there is no resurrection what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why are people baptized for them? And as for us why do we endanger ourselves every hour? I die every day- I meant that brothers- just as surely as I glory over you in Christ Jesus our Lord. If I fought wild beast in Ephesus for merely human reasons, what have I gained? If the dead are not raised ‘Let us eat and drink for tomorrow, we die.’ Do not be misled: Bad company corrupts good ch...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the central pillar of Christianity and the evidence for its historicity is conclusive. We know this. How? Well, Jesus appeared so many times that there wasn’t a shadow of a doubt among His followers that Jesus was a resurrected breathing, very alive Messiah. They had seen Him, spoken to Him, touched Him and even eaten with Him. The resurrection was no secret it was very public. We also have the empty tomb (despite the Roman guards and strict precautions), and the transformation of the apostles. Why do ...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. The Scriptures says, “But now Christ has been raised from the dead the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep. (I Cor. 15:20) In this chapter Paul the apostle had to deal with a heretical saying ‘there is no resurrection of the dead.’ This heresy is the most damaging and destructive to God’s kingdom. The Resurrection is the life pulse and lifeline of the Body of Christ. If there were no resurrection, God would be the God of the dead not of the living. If there were no resurrection Christ would not have been raised from the de...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In Luke 24:5-8 it says, “In their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground but the men said to them, “Why do you look for the living among the dead?” He is not here; He Has Risen! Remember how he told you while he was still with you in Galilee. The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, be crucified and on the third day be raised again.” Then they remembered his words.”Today we are celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection is the foundational belief of our Chris...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. In Psalm 18:32 it says, “it is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure.” I get my confidence from knowing Christ is in me ..the hope of Glory. It is Christ that lives in me that gives me the courage and boldness that is needed as the church age comes to an end. The Biblical Instructions Before Leaving Earth is crucial to read, study then apply. It will answer all your deepest questions. Why am I here? Where am I going when I die? Death is so scary for me..can I find comfort in the Bible? Why do I and others have to su...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. The BIBLE is the Word of God. It is the production of God. It has its origin and source in God Himself and it is nothing less than the authoritative out breathing of the Holy Spirit. The Bible is “breathed out” by God to give us the “organic inspiration” of the Holy Scripture meaning that God used the personalities, education, uneducated, and the cultural background and experiences of ordinary men to write Scripture; nevertheless, what they wrote is EXACTLY what the Holy Spirit intended they write, and although their final words ar...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. The BIBLE took approx. 1500 years to complete through more than 40 writers. The first writer was Moses and the last writer was John. We may say the Bible is the autobiography of God and a love letter of redemption to us. It is a book written through a number of writers who were moved by the Holy Spirit to show us the Christian life from the beginning to the final days of the Church. The Word says, “For everything that was written in the past was written to teach us so that through endurance and the encouragement of the Scripture we might have ...
(Read More)Greetings and blessings to all of you. This month we are presenting the Word of God…known as THE BIBLE. If you found yourself on a deserted island and you could have a handful of books…which book would you want? Think about it? What book would give you the most comfort and encouragement? I will be bored so what book could occupy my time the most? What would help me more than anything else to love and glorify God and watch His Sovereign will work out on my behalf on this deserted island?Did you choose the Bible? Yes/No? We live in a time when a low view of the Bible ha...
