"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

"Take heed what ye hear" ­ M ARK 4:24 [KJV] "Take heed how ye hear" ­ L UKE 8:18 [KJV] Hearing is a critical part of the Gospel scheme. "How shall they believe on Him whom they have not heard?" "Faith cometh by hearing." Why the Gospel itself is called in Galatians 3:2-5, "The hearing of faith." Is it any wonder the Saviour said, "Take heed what ye hear," and "Take heed how ye hear . " What has to do with the content of that which is heard. How has to do with the manner of hearing. I will be what I hear. If I hear error, I will be in error. If I hear the Truth, I will believe the Truth, and grow in grace and the knowledge of my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. God does not speak apart from the Truth. That is why we should take heed what we hear . I will only benefit by what I hear by the manner in which I hear. That is why I am to take heed how I hear. If I hear with a dull and ...

“ Christ is the angel of the covenant, and you can find your part in that covenant by looking to Him [MALACHI 3:1 ] . Many want to know their election before they look to Christ. It cannot be! Look to Christ as a guilty sinner . Cast yourself on Him for mercy and grace, and you will know your election; for all who are chosen are chosen IN HIM. Apart from a saving interest in the Beloved, there is no hope!” - Gospel report by preacher Henry Mahan Please find enclosed link to audio Gospel sermons: https://www.sermonaudio.com/source_detail.asp?sourceid=mahan

"Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father." -I THESSALONIANS 1:3 [KJV]   It is air and exercise that keep the body healthy. So it is spiritually. The graces of the Spirit need to be often exercised and well aired to keep them healthy—aired with the pure breath of heaven, and exercised with the operations of the Holy Ghost drawing them forth into activity and energy. And just as in nature a man gains health and strength by using his limbs and working his muscles, so in spiritual things these graces of the Spirit gain strength by use and exercise. Faith by working hard, hope by enduring much, and love by labouring long in the face of difficulties, become each more strengthened, more confirmed, more active, healthy, and energetic. It is a false faith to sleep all day in the sluggard's arm-chair; it is the hypocrite's hope who endures nothing f...

"For the mountains shall depart, and the hills be removed; but My kindness shall not depart from thee, neither shall the covenant of My peace be removed, saith the LORD that hath mercy on thee."   -Isaiah 54:10 [KJV]

“ Seek ye out of the book of the L ORD , and read…” -I SAIAH 34:16 [KJV] We are people of “the book”! We don’t look to the stars, to tea leaves, to palm-readers or to astrologers. We aren’t looking for additional revelations or manifestations. We aren’t followers of new apostles or prophets. God has provided His revelation in His time and His way. He gave prophets for a particular period and apostles as the front line to bear the message of Christ. That day has passed and we have “the book”. The proper name Bible means book. It has sixty-six books but it is one book. It has numerous writers but one author, the Holy Spirit. It’s as relevant in the twenty-first century as it was in the first century. Jesus was a man of “the book” [its very subject and content]. Again and again He challenged His generation with these words “have you not read?” He spoke of Moses and David, of Isaiah and generally of the prophets. He referred to Jonah as a type of Himself. He said He came ...

  "Tell me, O T hou whom m y soul loveth, where T hou feedest, where T hou makest T hy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of T hy companions? If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents." -S ONG OF SOLOMON 1:7, 8 [KJV] If you say that you want food and rest, to know Christ for yourself and to enjoy His presence and love, the Lord gives you two directions to attain to the enjoyment of these two blessings: 1. to tread in the footsteps of the flock, to walk in the way in which the saints of old have walked, in the path of tribulation and faith; 2. if you are favoured in any way to live within reach of the shepherds' tents, and have the privilege of hearing the gospel preached in its purity and power, to bring your kids in your arms beside the tent, and to put them down to feed on the juicy herbage. And ...

"And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also" - JOHN 14:3 [KJV]   By His successful work of reconciliation and redemption, our Savior has taken occupancy of everlasting glory for all of His people. In addition, He who has prepared a place for us by His substitutionary death, has also prepared the route to the place. The pathway of every believer may appear to us to lack any definite purpose, yet we are assured, "the steps of a good man are ordered (fixed, appointed) of the LORD" [PSALM 37:23 ] . He who chose us and redeemed us is directing our way through this world and guiding us safely to our eternal home on the course He predetermined. He will soon come again and receive us unto Himself and then we will be with Him forever. - Gospel report by preacher Jim Byrd Thirteenth Street Baptist church of Ashland, Kentucky USA Please find enclosed link to...
