When Will Humanity Ever Learn to Fully Trust Divinity?

Why did God Creator have to come down to fallen man’s level in the incarnation?

It was to demonstrate by “manifesting to the world, men and angels” for all eternity the truth of God’s undying and unconditional love for sinners, which likewise reveals the secret of victory of fallen man over Satan and sin, which is: the complete surrender of man man’s will to God’s will, the lost sinner’s will to the Savior’s will.

Beginning with ME

September 30, 2019

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

“Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against God, bringing into captivity in the obedience to Christ.” 2 Cor. 10: 5.

Before it was an act, whether spoken or written, it was first a thought spawned in the womb of the mind. Words and actions are windows into the mind, providing a sneak peek as it were, into the current character of the person, beginning with ME.

Pray For More Wisdom, Patiences & Grace

September 16, 2019

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:


Pray For More Wisdom, Patiences & Grace.

“The prayers you offer in loneliness, in weariness, in trial, God answers, not always according to your expectations but always for your good.” Gospel Workers 258. Paul prayed 3 times that the “thorn in his flesh” be removed.

God’s answer: “My Grace is sufficient for you.” 2 Cor. 12: 7-10. “Where sin abounds, Grace much more abounds.” Rom 5:20. Pray sincerely, trustingly “without ceasing” but also intelligently.

Possessing the Peace that Passeth Understanding

September 9, 2019

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

Possessing the Peace that Passeth Understanding.

“Great peace have they who love Thy law and nothing shall offend them.” Ps. 119:65. See Matt. 8: 23-34; Mark 4: 35-41; Luke 8: 22-39.

Like the first disciples we are all aboard the same boat that is negotiating the turbulent sea of life headed towards the destination called heaven and eternal life. “How often the first disciples’ experience of forgetfulness and lack of faith is ours today!

Burdens that Only Christ can Remove

September 2, 2019

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

“Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy-laden, and I will you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and you shall find rest unto your souls.” Matt. 28: 11-30.

Whether we know it or not or are in denial, all are weary and heavy-laden— burdens that only Christ can remove. The heaviest burden we bear we bear is the burden of sin. If we were left to bear this burden, it would crush us. God became a man without ceasing to be God in the mystery of the incarnation.

Call on Me and I will answer you and will show you great and mighty things which you knew not

August 26, 2019

QUOTE FOR THE WEEK FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

“Call on Me and I will answer you and will show you great and mighty things which you knew not.” Jer. 33: 3.

No other study will so ennoble every thought. Feeling, and aspiration as the study of the Bible. No other book can satisfy the questioning of the mind and the craving of the heart.

Christ’s Humanity Suffered the Superhuman Agony of Soul in Gethsemane

The shedding of the atoning, sin-cleansing blood of the second Adam “for the remission of sins” may also be thought of as a short yet intense process commencing in the night of His last agony in Gethsemane and culminated Calvary. It began when He “sweated blood” through the pores of His noble human brow in His death struggle at Gethsemane as the guilt of the sins of the world were rolled upon His human nature and the Father “hid His face” from His only-begotten Son, causing the dreadful sense of separation and connection between Father and Son.

The Second Adam: The World’s Sin and Guilt Bearer

The Second Adam: The World’s Sin and Guilt Bearer

Jesus Christ, the “second” or “last Adam” (1 Cor. 15: 45-47)  was subject to the first death of all mortals because He had to die, not merely “walk in the valley of the shadow of death,” which He also did, but temporarily came under it as the one-and-only, once-and-for-all atoning sacrifice (Heb. 9: 25-28; 10: 10, 12, 14) that the Father made of His only-begotten Son at the antitypical altar of sacrifice of Calvary.

The “wages of sin is death.” Rom. 6: 23. In His death the second Adam, in His human nature “made in the likeness of sinful flesh,” did not die because He fell under the power of “him who had the power of death,” that is the devil” (Heb. 2: 14), because of the following:
