    Subj: PANDEMIC PREPARATIONS Hello friends, You might find of interest the enclosed report regarding the ongoing Chinese pandemic and current instability. Please consider the following FYI from our brother Steven of "AlertsUSA." Links below.   Stock up right away on food, water (-filtration / storage containers), First Aid Kits, vitamins, medicine, warm clothing, batteries, radios, face masks, bleach, matches, oil lamps w/extra fuel, wicks, firearms, ammo, outdoor survival gear, etc., for you and loved ones. All indicators are showing the massive shut-down of Chinese manufacturing, transportation and its diving economy is going to negatively affect us for THE LACK OF GOODS coming to our shores. Reported earlier - half the entire country is on a massive "lock-down" affecting 738,000,000 people . I've heard that most stuff in our local big box stores comes from China? Please prayerfully consider the above. Now is a ...

“ The great controversy between God and man has been whether He or they shall be God; whether His reason or theirs, His will or theirs, shall be the guiding principle. If anything could frustrate God’s will - then it would be superior to Him, God would not be omnipotent, and so would lose the perfection of the Deity, and consequently the Deity itself; for that which did wholly defeat God’s will, would be more powerful than He. To be God and yet inferior to another, is a contradiction!” -Gospel report by preacher Stephen Charnock (1628–1680 A.D.)

"I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ." -G ALATIANS 1:12 [KJV] When I speak of a revelation of Christ, I am not contending for anything visionary. Dreams, voices, appearances in the air, sights and sounds, crosses in the sky, and apparitions at the bedside, I must leave to others. I believe that for the most part they are the portion of visionaries and enthusiasts, for we have all these in the visible Church of God, as well as Pharisees and hypocrites, Arminians and Antinomians. I will not indeed deny that the Lord may have wrought by them in some peculiar instances, as in the cases of Augustine and Colonel Gardiner. But taking the generality of God's people and the ordinary mode of divine operation, the revelation of Christ to the soul is a gracious internal discovery by the power of the Spirit, revealing H im to the eyes of faith. Nothing is seen or heard by the bodily senses; and yet H is glorio...

“ But our God is in the heavens: He hath done whatsoever He hath pleased.” -P SALM 115:3 “Whatsoever the LORD pleased, that did He in heaven, and in earth, in the seas, and all deep places.” -P SALM 135:6 “And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and He doeth according to His will in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth: and none can stay His hand, or say unto Him, What doest Thou? ” -D ANIEL 4:35 [KJV] On the other hand, there is no doctrine more hated by worldlings, as the great, stupendous, but yet most certain doctrine of the Sovereignty of the infinite Jehovah! Men will allow God to be everywhere except on His throne! They will allow Him to be in His workshop to fashion worlds and make stars. They will allow Him to be in His almonry to dispense His alms and bestow His bounties. They will allow Him to sustain the earth and bear up the pillars thereof, or light the lamps of Heaven, or rule the waves of the ever-moving...

"Then opened H e their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures." -L UKE 24:45 [KJV] Blessed opening, when He that hath the key of David puts in H is hand by the hole of the door, and opens our heart to receive H is own word. Then when we go to the Word of Truth, after it has come to us, our fingers drop with sweetsmelling myrrh upon the handles of the lock. It is said that "the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God, and they that hear shall live." O, to hear the voice of the Son of God in our hearts! Surely it shall make our dead hearts, cold frames, withering hopes, drooping love, dying faith, languishing prayers, and fainting minds live; yea, revive as the corn and grow as the vine. What is all religion without a divine beginning, middle, and end, commencing, carried on, and accomplished with a heavenly power, supernatural life, and spiritual unction? Well may we be ashamed and sick of, and sorry for all our thoughts...

Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (14-16FEB20) Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in SO GREAT SALVATION by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace - God's unmerited favor - from their sins and from Hell: "Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, wherein He hath made us accepted in the beloved ." -Ephesians 1:5-6 [KJV] The resurrection of Christ indicated our acceptance with God. When God raised Him from the dead, He thereby gave testimony that He had accepted Christ’s work, but the acceptance of our Representative is the acceptance of ourselves. When the French ambassador was sent away from the Court of Prussia, it meant that war was declared, and when the ambassador was again received, peace was re-established. Wh...

"Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and steadfast, and which entereth into that within the veil." -H EBREWS 6:19 [KJV]   Anchors, you know, are made of different sizes. You may walk in the Queen's Dockyard, and there you may see anchors for a boat, and anchors for a three-decker. Yet all anchors are made in the same way, and are designed for the same purpose; and the little anchor that holds the boat is as useful and as much an anchor as that which holds the three-decker. So spiritually. There is hope in the heart of the babe. But the hope in the heart of a babe is but as the anchor of a boat; yet it holds that babe as firmly as the anchor holds the boat to which it is moored. But as the Lord increases hope, He increases the size of the anchor; and as the vessel and its anchor always bear a proportion to each other, so when He enlarges the size of the anchor He increases the size of the ship. Nay more, as He increases the size of the s...
