Is Your Love Growing Cold?
1w ago01:05:31Tap to summarizeJesus warned us that in the last days iniquity would abound and the love of many would wax cold. Do you feel it? Overall, people used to love more fervently and faithfully than they do now. The warmth is gone and there is lukewarmness, at the best. We must recognize that iniquity is basically lawlessness, which is the result of pride, rebellion, and unbridled selfishness, and that when INQUITY is prevailing it will destroy the trust, respect, and humility that real love requires. If we truly belong to God, we cannot let the iniquity of this age keep us from loving God and loving others. We must love God and others with sincere, fervent, unfeigned love. Our love for our family, our church, and the people around us should not depend on how they treat us, but should reflect the love of God shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost. After all, that is what the first and greatest commandment is about, and Jesus said everything else concerning moral law depends upon our obedience to God's command to love God and others.
Transcribe →Do You Love Jesus?
2w ago01:02:24Tap to summarizeIf we truly love Jesus, it will show in the way we keep His words, seek to please Him, and live for His honor. We know that Christ has gone to prepare a place for us, that He is coming again, and that our love for Him should make us faithful, obedient, prayerful, and rejoicing people. We must know Him as He truly is—not as the world imagines Him—and examine whether our lives prove real love for Him or only a shallow profession.
Transcribe →The Word of God Is Forever
3w ago00:49:51Tap to summarizeThis message is meant to remind us of the absolute importance and divine preservation of the Word of God. Every word of Scripture matters because God speaks truth and life through His Word, and all the Creation came into existence when God spoke. Language itself is a gift from God, and we must approach the Bible with reverence, intentional study, and faith. The King James Bible is God's preserved Word in English, and we are warned against altering or neglecting Scripture. We are also instructed to study the Bible personally rather than rely on the opinions of others. The Word of God — not the opinions of men — is the foundation for salvation, spiritual life, truth, and discernment in a confused and apostate world.
Transcribe →The Household of God
3w ago01:01:19Tap to summarizeIf we are truly saved, we are one of God's people and we belong to the household of God, and must see one another as our true spiritual family. We are called to be a peculiar people who belong to Christ, not to this world, and that should affect how we think, live, dress, speak, and represent Him before others. The Bible warns us not to conform to the world or let its voices, friendships, and ideas steal our hearts away from God, but to stand with Christ and His people even when it brings reproach. We need to be challenged to choose, like Joshua and Moses, whether we will serve the Lord faithfully, bear His reproach, and let our light shine in these last days.
Transcribe →Believing On Jesus
Apr 2600:56:09Tap to summarizeWhat does it really mean to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ? The key word that runs through this chapter is believe — used seven times — because believing is the key that connects every promise Jesus makes to us. Now, believing isn't just accepting the historical facts about Jesus; it's a change that takes place in the deepest part of you, where Christ becomes what your life is about and makes you into a new creature. That comes about through the new birth. Jesus said, "...he that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also..." — and that word is shall, not will — meaning it's not optional or something you decide to do after you're saved; it's what becomes your nature when Christ is in you. He also promised that even after going to the Father, he would still be present with us, still working, and that "...if ye shall ask anything in my name, I will do it." But that promise is conditioned on our walking in his steps, keeping his commandments out of love, and living as his representatives in this world. The only way to really know what Jesus is like and examine whether you're truly like him, is to read and study the Word of God — particularly the Gospels — and let the Spirit of God bear witness with your spirit that you are truly his - or not.
Transcribe →Believe Me for the Works Sake
Apr 1900:54:02Tap to summarizeJesus teaches us clearly in John 14:9–14 that the works of God are a proper foundation for belief, and are the proper subject of a believer's testimony. Any of those who witnessed Jesus, or anyone who has read the Gospels, cannot help but recognize the Father working through Him. As believers today, we are largely failing to do what Jesus, Paul, Daniel, the Psalmist, and the crowds at Pentecost all did naturally, which is to openly declare what God has specifically wrought in our own lives. This silence is both a sin of omission and a primary reason for the spiritual deadness, lack of true worship, and children leaving the faith — because if the people around us cannot observe a genuine, ongoing work of God in our lives, we give them little reason to believe in God. We need to start forming habits of publicly giving thanks for God's specific dealings in our lives, and God will be glorified through His people.
Transcribe →Without Hope
Apr 1200:57:07Tap to summarizeThe biggest struggle of every life is the fight to hold onto hope. Satan's greatest weapon against us is to deceive us into thinking that all hope is gone. He wears us down until discouragement and despair overwhelm us. Expectation is the object of hope, and when our expectations become unreachable, or even seem to, we quickly fall into despair. Earthly hopes in people, family, church, or circumstances often disappoint, but the believer's true hope must be anchored in God, not in this world. We have many good examples to look to from the Word of God to help us in this struggle to hold onto hope. Faith in God and love for others restores hope, while self-pity and despair come from looking too low, and forgetting about God. Then we also have the "blessed hope" of Christ's presence, His coming again, and the certainty that God will always make a way.
Transcribe →King James - The History of the Scriptures
Apr 100:57:13Tap to summarizeUnderstanding the history behind the King James Bible requires patience, humility, an honest heart, and a broad view of God's work through time. The Scripture makes it clear that God is sovereign over rulers and nations, and often accomplishes His purposes through imperfect people, so the value of the King James Bible does not depend on King James, or any of the other men involved in it's development, being flawless men. Instead, the focus of our study should be on the remarkable providence of God in raising up a learned, capable king in a very turbulent time who desired to give his people the Word of God. If we desire to get at the truth, especially in this matter of the Scriptures, we must avoid the slander, the revision of history and oversimplified criticism, and instead recognize the King James Bible as a lasting gift of God's providence that has been changing the world for centuries.
Transcribe →Oh That I Knew Where I Might Find Him
Mar 2901:06:13Tap to summarizeThe deepest need of every human heart is to truly know God the Father, and that this is only possible through Jesus Christ. Beneath all unbelief, rebellion, and false religion is an inescapable longing for God. Christ came to open the way through "the veil" so people can truly come to know the Heavenly Father, know He hears them, and live with peace and assurance in their hearts that all is well between them and the God who created them. Seek God sincerely through Christ, turn from your sin, and be born again. Then you can enter into a real relationship with Him before it is too late.
Transcribe →Tyndale to King James - History of the Scripture
Mar 2500:46:41Tap to summarizeThis a study of the history the English Bible from Tyndale through the Geneva Bible, and leading up to the King James Bible. It shows that this line of Scriptures came from the preserved "received text" rather than the corrupt Alexandrian tradition. The promise in Isaiah 55 that God's Word will prosper applies very well to the Reformation, because we can see that the spread of faithful Bible translations brought spiritual light, freedom, and revival, while the opposing line produced corruption and darkness. The true history of the Bible reveals it's divine preservation and spiritual authority. It is a great help to believers in understanding why they can trust the King James Bible they hold in their hand, and to be prepared to defend it.
