THE LAW WRITTEN IN THE HEART BEFORE IT WAS WRITTEN ON STONE

May 28, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

THE LAW WRITTEN IN THE HEART BEFORE IT WAS WRITTEN ON STONE

Christ the Creator and Lawgiver wrote the law in the hearts and minds of Adam and Eve in their creation as the crowning act of His creative power.

“Adam and Eve, at their creation, had a knowledge of the law of God; they were acquainted with its claims upon them; its precepts were written upon their hearts.”

HEART IDOLS OF CARNALLY-MINDED BELIEVERS

May 21, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

HEART IDOLS OF CARNALLY-MINDED BELIEVERS.

“The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked. Who can know it? I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind, even to give to every man according to his ways, and according to the fruit of his doings.” Jer.17:9,10, NKJV.

See Rom. 8:6-8,13. It is from the heart and mind that all forms and manner of idolatry—physical, material, philosophical, religious and spiritual—must be expelled from, not merely from the externals. “The Lord does not see as a man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but God looks upon the heart.” 1 Sam. 16:7.

CAIN-LIKE OR ABEL-LIKE WORSHIPPERS?

April 28, 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

CAIN-LIKE OR ABEL-LIKE WORSHIPPERS? 

See Genesis 4: 1-26.

Not all who say “Lord, Lord” are recognized by Him in their judgment, and not all who worship God have their worship accepted by Him. That’s the life-and-death lesson and test much greater than what we are experiencing now in the covid-19 global pandemic.

“Cain and Abel, the sons of Adam, differed widely in character.  “Abel had a spirit of loyalty to God; he saw justice and mercy in the Creator’s dealings with the fallen race, and gratefully accepted the hope of redemption.

WALKING IN THE LIGHT BRINGS COURAGE

March 25 2020
MESSAGE FOR THE DAY:


WALKING IN THE LIGHT BRINGS COURAGE.

Good morning Daniels and Daniellas, servants of the living God, has your God, whom you serve continually, been able to deliver you last night from the lions crowned as a terrible virus? (Dan.6:20). If we have been faithfully walking in the light of all the truths we have been learning, our joint answer should be just like faithful Daniel recorded in verses 21, 22.

HOW THE PATTERN MAN WALKED THE TALK

February 24 2020

FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

HOW THE PATTERN MAN WALKED THE TALK.

“He that saint he abideth in Him ought himself also so to walk, even as He walked.” 1 John 2:6, KJV.

“Christ carried out in His life His own teachings. He manifested consistency without obstinacy, benevolence without weakness, tenderness and sympathy without sentimentalism. He was highly social, yet He possessed a reserved dignity that did not encourage undue familiarity.

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

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.

“It is expressly stated that Satan [as the prince of the power of the air] works in the children of disobedience, not merely having access to their minds, but working through their influence, conscious or unconscious, to draw others to the same disobedience.

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEIT FAITH

November 13, 2019

MID-WEEK MESSAGE FROM YOUR PASTOR’S DESK:

BEWARE OF COUNTERFEIT FAITH.

“Keep back Thy servant from presumptuous sins; let them not have dominion over me. Then I shall be blameless, I shall be innocent of great transgression.” Psalms 19:13.

“Faith is in no sense allied to presumption. Only he who has true faith is secure against presumption. Faith claims God’s promises, and brings forth fruit in obedience. Presumption also claims the promises, but uses them as Satan did, to excuse transgression. Faith would have led our first parents to trust the love of God, and to obey His commands.

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.
