THE BATTLEFIELD WHERE CHRIST’S KINGDOM OF GRACE IS BEING SET UP AGAINST THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD

September 11, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE BATTLEFIELD WHERE CHRIST’S KINGDOM OF GRACE IS BEING SET UP AGAINST THE KINGDOMS OF THIS WORLD

“For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against SPIRITUAL wickedness in high places.”

Eph. 6:12, KJV.

“The FALLEN WORLD is the battlefield for the greatest conflict the heavenly universe and the earthly powers have ever witnessed. It was appointed as THEATER on which would be fought out the grand struggle [AKA ‘the great controversy’] between good and evil, between heaven and hell.

“Every human being acts a part in this conflict. No one can stand on neutral ground. Men must either accept or reject the world’s Redeemer. All are witnesses, EITHER for or against Christ. Christ calls upon those who stand under His banner to ENGAGE in the conflict with Him as FAITHFUL soldiers, that they may inherit the crown [that is called] eternal life.

THE ARMY OF CHRIST’S KINGDOM OF GRACE ON EARTH

September 10, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE ARMY OF CHRIST’S KINGDOM OF GRACE ON EARTH

“Take unto you the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

Eph. 6:13, KJV.

“The strength of an army is measured largely by the efficiency of the men in the ranks. A wise general instructs his officers to train every soldier for active service. He seeks to develop the highest efficiency on the part of all. If he were to depend on his officers alone he could never expect to conduct a successful campaign. He counts on loyal and untiring service from every men in his army. The responsibility rests largely upon the men in the ranks.

And so it is in the army of Prince Emmanuel. Our General, who has never lost a battle, expects willing, faithful service from everyone who has enlisted under His banner.

All Earthly Kingdoms Headed for History’s Dustbin

Friday Morning Manna June 26, 2020

All Earthly Kingdoms Headed for History’s Dustbin

“Blessed by the name of the Lord forever and ever, for wisdom and might are His. And He changes the times and the seasons; He removes kings [and kingdoms] and raises up kings [and kingdoms].” See Daniel 2: 20-22, NKJV.

Lest we forget or lose sight of the far greater and grander things and issues of eternal consequences with all these distractions and schemes of Satan and fall victims to the worst yet to come, we fretful, fitful, “busybody” finite mortals need to calm down and “come down to earth from our imaginary high places” and be reminded that:—

THE BURDEN OF THE LAST MESSAGE STILL MINGLED WITH MERCY TO THE WORLD

June 24, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE BURDEN OF THE LAST MESSAGE STILL MINGLED WITH MERCY TO THE WORLD

“All His commandments are sure. They stand fast forever and ever and are done in truth and uprightness.” Psalms 111:7,8 KJV.

When the laws of man, themselves blatant breakers of God’s law or even lawless or “a law to themselves,” enact laws and enforce them, the “fruit” or the result is only as good, reliable, truthful, lasting and righteous as the “trees” that bore them or from where they were plucked or fell from.

ACHAN’S SECRET SIN EXPOSED PUBLICLY BY GOD

June 17, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK;

ACHAN’S SECRET SIN EXPOSED PUBLICLY BY GOD. “For God will bring every secret thing into judgment, whether they be good or evil.” Eccl. 12:14.

Continuing from yesterday: “God’s command has been disregarded by of those appointed to execute His judgments. And the NATION was held accountable for the guilt of the transgressor. THEY have even taken of the accursed thing
and have also STOLEN, and DISSEMBLED also’ instruction was given to Joshua for the discovery and punishment [judicial procedures] of the criminal. The [casting of] lots was to be employed for the DETECTION of the guilty. The sinner was NOT directly pointed out, the matter being left to DOUBT for a time, that the people might FEEL their RESPONSIBILITY for the sins existing among them, and thus be led to SEARCHING of HEART and HUMILIATION before God.

TASTE TEST TO TRUST

May 8, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

TASTE TEST TO TRUST

“O taste and see that the Lord is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in Him.” Ps.34:8.

As they say, “the proof of the pie is in eating.” So with the Bible truth. “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul… SWEETER than the honey and the honeycomb,”wrote the psalmist.

“How shall we know for ourselves God’s goodness and His love? The psalmist tells us—not, hear and know, read and know; but—‘TASTE and see that the Lord is good.’ Instead of relying upon the word of another, taste for yourself.”

HIGHER EDUCATION? STUDY CHRIST’S PARABLES

February 10 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

HIGHER EDUCATION? STUDY CHRIST’S PARABLES.

“All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet [Isaiah].”

Matt. 13: 34, 35 (read the rest). “In the Savior’s parable teaching is an indication of what constitutes “higher learning.’ Christ might have opened to men the deepest truths of science. He might have unlocked mysteries which have required many centuries of toil and study to penetrate. He might have made suggestions in scientific lines that would have afforded food for thought and stimulus for invention to the close of time.

But He did not do this. He said nothing to gratify curiosity, or to satisfy man’s ambition by opening doors to worldly greatness. In all His teaching, Christ brought the mind of man in contact with the Infinite Mind. He did not direct the people to study men’s theories about God, His Word, or His works.

He taught them to behold Him as manifested in His works, in His Word, and by His providences. Christ did not deal with abstract theories, but in that which is essential to the development of character, that which will enlarge men’s capacity for knowing God, and increase his efficiency to do good.

He spoke to men of those truths that relate to the conduct of life, and that take hold upon eternity.” COL 22, 23. There are 40 parables of Christ recorded in the NT. Don’t you think they’re priceless compared to all the politics, entertainment and unnecessary “cares of this life”?! If you do let’s find whatever time is left to study these “higher education” subjects! NMF

January 29 2020

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

GOOD ANGELS MORE POWERFUL THAN EVIL ONES: WE NEED NOT BE OVERCOME NOR OVERWHELMED WITH ANYTHING. See Eph. 2:2.
