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

 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth His handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world." -Psalms ch. 19 "Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God. They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright. Save, LORD: let the King hear us when we call ." -Psalm ch. 20 "It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes." -Psalm 118:8-9 [KJV] Cheers, friends...

  "And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased ." -Matthew 3:17 [KJV] The message of God’s glorious Gospel is found in these amazing words that God spoke one day from His heavenly throne. “This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.” God is well pleased with His beloved Son! This is the sinner’s only hope of redemption. God is angry with the wicked every day (Psalm 7:11) ! Yet the Holy Father is not only pleased, but He is WELL PLEASED with His beloved Son. There has never been a time that God was not well pleased with the Lord Jesus Christ. Before the beginning of time, He has always been by Him, brought up with Him and was daily His delight (Proverbs of Solomon 8:30) . This is the message from God that gives hope and life to the helpless and lost. God is well pleased with His precious Son. God can never be pleased with sinful men and women in their works of self-righteousness. But God is well pleased with Christ. This...

    There is a good picture of the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ as it is in this world to be found in the “inn” to which the Good Samaritan (a picture of Christ) took the man he found by the wayside, beaten and bruised.  He “went to him, and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave them to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever thou spendest more, when I come again, I will repay thee .” (Luke 10:34-35)  That inn became a hospital for this wounded man.  This is what the Church is, a hospital for sinners!  It is where sinners who have been saved by Christ (sojourners, pilgrims, not of this world) find more care from Christ through those He has also saved by His infinite grace and mercy.  There, with others of like precious faith, they worship and praise the One who res...

"But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?" -Job 19:28 [KJV] In almost every plant it is at the root that disease begins. If ever you see even a plant in a flower-pot unhealthy, depend upon it there is something wrong at the root. It is overwatered or underwatered, or from some other cause the root has become diseased, and what is called "root-action” is suspended or unhealthy. So it is in religion: if there is anything wrong with a man, it is almost sure to be something wrong at the root. "The root of the matter," Job said, "is found in me." Job could appeal unto God that the root of his religion was right.     If "the root" had been wrong, "the matter" would not have been right; but as long as the root was sound, like "the teil tree" of which the prophet speaks, though "it cast its leaves, the substance would still be in it," to put forth in due time boughs l...

The rich man in hell, realizing his torments would never end, immediately became concerned for the safety of his five brothers. His desire was that Lazarus be sent to preach and warn them lest they too should descend into the place of never-ending agony and pain. Note that he was only interested in his family members and says nothing about the glory of God in the salvation of his brothers. Not one word is spoken about Christ being magnified as God’s sacrifice for sin nor did he indicate any awareness of the necessity of the Spirit’s work in the hearts of his brothers. His motivation did not involve the Lord at all! Notice Abraham’s response, which speaks volumes. “ They have Moses and the prophets, let them hear them” (Luke 16:29) . There is something far better than someone coming back from the dead and preaching about the reality of hell and that is the proclamation of “ the Word of God that liveth and abideth forever…and this is the Word which by the gospel is preached unto you” (...

  I WILL   Men and women love to speak of God in generic terms and broad statements. They do this that they might have the acceptance of all and offend none. Yet, what men fear to say about God, He is not afraid to say about Himself. He does not hesitate to take the credit or the blame as some would think it, He worketh “ all things after the counsel of His own will.” He declares Himself to be the God Who “ doeth according to His will in the armies of heaven and among the inhabitants of earth and one can stay His hand or say unto Him, what doest Thou?” This being the case, the first thing that we are confronted with if He is ever our Savior it is His right as God to do what He will with His own creatures, especially us! The tree in the midst of the garden represented God’s right to be God and govern His creatures as He would. Adam rebelled against this but not successfully. He rebelled at great cost to himself and his race. To defy the Almighty is death. This is the etern...

“ The name of the LORD is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe.” -Proverbs 18:10 [KJV] "Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for Him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass." -Psalm 37:7 [KJV] We cannot pretend to proclaim and believe the gospel message which gives all glory to God in Christ and still involve ourselves in the godless methodology of false religion. These methods are Satan-inspired to exalt man rather than Christ Jesus. The recognition of men and women, the programs and practices which are not only unbiblical but anti-biblical were never ordained of God nor will they be blessed of God. The preaching and the practices are to be the same, giving glory to God for His grace in Christ. If Christ is all in the salvation of His people then He is all in their worship services. “ Not unto us, O LORD, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory, for Thy mercy, and for Thy t...
