There are things which even the forgiven man cannot undo anymore than you cast a stone into a pool, and then with your hand stay the ever-multiplying circles...
Generally Christ is nigh unto believers, and of a ready access; and the principal actings of the life of faith consist in the frequency of our thoughts concerning him; for hereby ‘Christ liveth’ in us, as he is said to do. Galatians 2:20...
Too many believers are sowing wild oats through the week and then going to church on Sunday and praying for a crop failure...
Recently, I have heard a new doctrine proposed. It is that unfaithful Christians of this age will not be in the kingdom. That is, they will not participate in the millennial reign of Christ on earth, but will...
While doing a study on the life of the apostle Paul, I began to wonder if he was actually named Saul after the 1st king of Israel. I began to make comparisons between the two and found several things that they had in common. The name Saul means "desired" while the name Paul means "little". It's interesting to think that Paul started off as Saul, or the one to be desired, but when God got a hold of him, he became Paul the little one. Sounds like the words of John the Baptist when he said of Christ, "He must increase, but I must decrease." John 3:30
His original name ends in El, the Hebrew name for God. He is the only son of his father. He is sent to earth because men "lack the light to show the way." He is superhuman, but he can also suffer. At one point, he receives a stab wound in the side. He returns from a deathlike absence in order to save the world. Who is this man? It is the Superman of the new movie "Superman Returns." In short, the movie and the storyline of Superman is blasphemous. He is "another Jesus" (2Corinthians 11:4) declaring an "other gospel." Galatians 1:8-9 clearly proclaims, "But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed."
According to a study completed by a team of sociologists (as reported in the July 3, 2006, edition of "Time"), people in America are losing friends. From 1985 to 2004, the number of people with whom we can discuss "important matters" has dropped by one-third. That is, if people had three close friends twenty years ago, they only have two today. When considered that this is based on averages, this is a serious drop and it points to a continuing disintegration of the bonds of society. In order to "enjoy" our newfound freedoms, we are splitting up our families and communities. In order to "enjoy" our entertainment, we are immersing ourselves in private video viewing and computer surfing. We are leaving the churches and becoming strangers to our neighbors.
