The Faithfulness Of Jesus To God The Father By: Denny Smith | - Hebrews 3:1-2 reads as follows: "Therefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the apostle and high priest of our confession, Christ Jesus, who was faithful to him who appointed him, as Moses also was faithful in all his house." (NKJV)
Reading this passage and its surrounding context awhile back got me to thinking about the faithfulness of Jesus. We seldom think about Jesus being "faithful," that is in the sense of being faithful to God, even though we know ... Tags:faithfulness of Jesus, faithfulness, faithful, godhead, God

Must The Christian Keep The Sabbath? By: Denny Smith | - There are many people who believe the Christian must keep the Sabbath. It is one of the Ten Commandments and many believe we are under command to keep all the Ten Commandments. Are they correct? What does the Bible say about the Sabbath? Who was to keep it was it for all men and for all time? How was it to be kept? Let us see what the Bible has to say about the matter.
Lights Of The Mazzaroth By: benj4yafgr | - Genesis 1:14
And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs ...
The primary reason the lights in the firmament exists is to provide signs. Even the oldest book in the Bible, Job (believed to have been written during the time of Abraham), mentions the Zodiac (Genesis is believed to have been written during the time of Moses):
The Bible's Tainted History (part Ii) By: benj4yafgr | - THE COVERDALE BIBLE OF 1535
The Coverdale was the first completed English translation of the entire Old and New Testaments. During the imprisonment of William Tyndale, Miles Coverdale (1488-1569) picked up where he left off. Coverdale produced a complete English version based on Tyndales New and Old Testament works. He also used the Latin Vulgate for the remainder of the Old Testament Tyndale never had the opportunity to translate.
You Must Be Born Again! By: benj4yafgr | - THE SECRET DISCIPLE BY NIGHT
In the 3rd chapter of John, Nicodemus (a high ranking Pharisee ruler; and secret disciple of Jesus [19:38-42]) first visited Jesus in the cloak of night. The first thing Jesus said in verse 3, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. At the time, the Kingdom of God (in all the Gospels) was a futuristic event right up there with the Day of Judgment. But many Christians erroneously believe it is interchangeable with the Kingdom of Heave ...

Ashamed Of Jesus And His Words By: Denny Smith | - In Luke 9:26 Jesus made the following statement, "For whoever is ashamed of Me and My words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when He comes in His glory, and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels." (NAS) There are two things here that men are told they must avoid if they are to have any hope of Jesus not being ashamed of them in the day he returns to judge the world in righteousness (Acts 17:31) (1) being ashamed of Jesus (2) being ashamed of the words of Jesus.
Inspiring Bible Verses And Love Poetry By: Ben Mester | - There's a really interesting and inspirational Bible passage that comes from the book titled The Song of Solomon in the Old Testament of the Bible. The reason why I find it so fascinating is because it's basically just an ancient love poem from a king to a common woman who he wants to wed. There's a specific section in the book that I find especially interesting and want to share. I hope you like it as well. Here it is in the old King James version:
Bible Verses About Poverty By: Ben Mester | - In this current difficult economy, the poor and those who need a helping hand are popping up more than ever. And for the rest of us that are still able to keep our heads above water, being able to lend a helping hand is often difficult. That's why I like reading inspirational Bible verses about helping the poor, because it gives me the motivation to make sacrifices in order to do the right thing. Below I've listed my 4 favorite inspirational verses on the subject and the first one comes from ... Tags:inspirational, bible, verses, poor
7 Benefits Of A Life Of Obedience By: Ozeme J Bonnette | - Genesis 13:2 shows us one of the results of obedience. To give you a little background, God told Abram to leave his home and to go to the land God gave him. Abram did arrive in Canaan, but he got a little uncomfortable during a famine. He went to Egypt for awhile, he told some lies that caused problems for Pharaoh. Pharaoh sent him away.
So, Abram went back to Canaan with everything he had collected. He and Lot went their separate ways, and God shared His promise with Abram. I ... Tags:obedience, trusting God
The Conscience As A Witness By: Denny Smith | - A man can run from many things but one thing he cannot run from is his own conscience. Wherever a man goes his conscience follows him just as much as his shadow and is a constant companion. It is a man's witness to himself and to God of his character as it relates to his willingness or unwillingness to abide in what he considers to be that which is right and good.
A Good Conscience And A Pure Conscience By: Denny Smith | - A good conscience and a pure conscience is essential to a person's happiness and sense of well-being. One can never depend on his/her conscience as an infallible guide for that it is not the function of the conscience, not its role, but nevertheless violate your conscience and the end result is a sense of guilt, sorrow, and unhappiness.
The conscience is that which is within us all that pricks us, perhaps troubles us would be a better way of putting it, when we do that which we con ... Tags:good conscience, conscience, pure conscience, pure heart
The Parable Of The Talents "€" The Sin Of Fear By: Denny Smith | - The parable of the talents is found in Matthew 25:14-30 with an account that is similar in many respects in Luke 19:12-28 although there are differences. Only the account given in Matthew is referred to, by men, as the parable of the talents but it is profitable to read Luke along with Matthew. Differences aside both accounts seem to be teaching about the same lesson and one I have needed throughout my life.
Keep Your Heart With All Diligence By: Denny Smith | - If you are like me you were always a little fearful that you were perhaps not normal. That is to say you have struggled being the person you ought to be and like Eve have desired the forbidden fruit and the thought has come to your mind that that is not normal, not normal for those who want to do what is right. We get to the point where we question our heart. Maybe we just have a bad heart so to speak. Maybe we are just a little more depraved than others. Since it is not possible to look in ...

I Can Do All Things Through Christ By: Denny Smith | - The passage written by the apostle Paul and found in Philippians 4:13, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, (NKJV) is a verse I became very familiar with when our young son entered kindergarten many years ago. Tears and fear is what we had on a regular basis that first year. It tears a Dad and Moms heart out to send them off into what is for them the dark terrifying unknown when as they leave the house it is all they can do to keep from crying. Night after night at ...

3 Benefits Of Being A Christian In This Life "€" Hope, Love, Peace By: Denny Smith | - One thing that is often overlooked is the value of being a Christian and living the Christian life in the here and now, not just for the benefit of the afterlife to come. There is nothing as important as where you are going to live in eternity but there are enormous benefits to living the Christian life aside from those benefits to come when this life has ended. I list but three of those benefits here.
Though He Slay Me By: Denny Smith | - The title for this article comes from the Old Testament book of Job, chapter 13 verse 15, where Job makes the statement, Though he slay me, yet will I trust him. (NKJV)
The story of Job as told in the Old Testament is one of pain, suffering, and sorrow, of the loss of loved ones (sons and daughters), of possessions, of health, and very nearly of hope. His state got to be such that his wifes advice was, Curse God and die! (Job 2:9 NKJV) Death was seen as preferabl ... Tags:Job, God, slay, sorrow, pain, suffering, life, death, Paul
The Wicked Shall Be Turned Into Hell By: Denny Smith | - David, in Psalms 9:17, made this statement: "The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God." (NKJV) That is strong, strong language and language people do not want to hear. Some would probably call it hate speech. People do not want to hear about hell and many reject God because of the concept of hell as taught in the Bible. I suspect it is highly likely many who look at what I write from time to time will pass by this article just because of the title. God is n ...

Christ Through The Bible: Genesis 3. The Fall Of Man And The Covenant Of Redemption, By: Dale Haven Cox | - Up until this chapter, man lived in a perfect world in peace and harmony with his environment, his fellow man, and His Creator. The last verse of Chapter 2, verse 25, is a statement that summarizes that bliss - "The man and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame." But that was about to change.

The Bible begins with the Creation of the world in Genesis 1. Although Scripture says that God created the world, John 1:1-3 and Colossians 1: 15,16 say that Christ was fully participant as God in the creation that was made for His own glory. The creation is a demonstration of the omnipotent power of God to create everything from nothing (Hebrews 11:3). , The Bible never tries to prove the existence or the power of God here or anywhere else. That fact is ASSUMED because ... Tags:Creation, Paganism, Psalm 8, God the Creator, the Goddess
Twitter: - A Platform To Proclaim Christian Gospel By: Noah C. Rinkle | - Billions of people enjoy this temporal life sinfully unknowingly about the life after death. As the wages of sin is death, men who do not repent and get saved have to spend their lifetime in the lake of fire. So the word of God is spread across the world to save people from the clutches of sin.
The Struggle To Be A Spiritually Minded Man Or Woman By: Denny Smith | - Every person that has ever contemplated the subject of life and death, the meaning of life, and eternal destiny and has chosen faith in Christ as the route he/she desires to walk has found him/herself in a constant struggle. On the one hand there is the deep desire to do what is right according to the will of God as we read it in the Bible and on the other hand there is that desire within us that wants to do what we want to do which often means violating God's will. We have two states of mind ... Tags:spiritually minded, spiritual mindedness, Rom. 8:6, spirit
Paul's Conversion "€" Justified By Faith By: Denny Smith | - The conversion of Saul of Tarsus, who was soon to be known as Paul the apostle, is one of the most interesting accounts of conversion to Christianity found in the Bible. One can read about Paul's conversion in 3 different accounts given in the book of Acts Acts 9:1-19, 22:1-16, 26:9-20. Saul of Tarsus was one of the really bad men we read about in the New Testament which makes his conversion even more dramatic. How bad a man was Saul?
Without Natural Affection And Covenant Breakers "€" Rom. 1:31 By: Denny Smith | - Most of us prefer a version of the Bible today that is a little more up to date in its language than is the old original American Standard Version of 1901 or the King James Version thus making the Bible a little easier to read and understand. However, in a few passages scattered about the Bible even the new literal translations like the ESV, NASB, and the NKJV, all excellent translations when taken as a whole, have led us slightly astray with inferior translations in an attempt to make reading ...

What Is It A Man Must Believe In Order To Be Saved? By: Denny Smith | - What is it a man must believe in order to be saved according to the Bible? If salvation is dependent on faith which the Bible clearly teaches then it is essential to know what it is that the Bible teaches we must believe. This is not a subject that is studied a whole lot for the answer seems so evident we must believe in Jesus. Yes, that is true, but what does that mean? I will talk about that later in the article but there are other things we also must believe according to the scripture ... Tags:believe, Jesus, God, the resurrection, Christ, son of God
How Dead Are You? By: Adam Tigges | - How dead is dead? Either a person is or isn'd. Death doesn't have shades or tones, it's either yes or no. On or off, black or white. Alive or dead, it's as simple as that.
I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. - Gal. 2:20
The Memorial Headstone Sayings And Inscriptions By: Tom Tree | - No one likes to think about when they die, but it's something that you eventually do have to think about. One of the things that many need to consider is if they have a headstone. There are many different memorial headstone sayings and inscriptions. Here are a few examples as to what some people choose for their headstone.
Behold, The Judge Is Standing At The Door (james 5:9) By: Denny Smith | - It is sometimes hard for Christians to grasp emotionally that they will be judged by Christ on the Day of Judgment. So much has been made of the grace of God and God's love that it is hard to come to grips with the idea of judgment but James in writing to Christians says, "Do not grumble against one another, brethren, lest you be condemned. Behold, the Judge is standing at the door!" (James 5:9 NKJV) That ought to be a sobering thought to all who seriously contemplate it.
Bible Authority, Foot Washing, The Holy Kiss, And Head Coverings? By: Denny Smith | - Does Bible authority matter or is man free to do as he sees fit in the Christian religion? Most have come to the conclusion today that it does not matter. The result is that there are more unheard of things going on in Christian worship today than ever before. You name it and it is being done somewhere. Every type of special service the mind can imagine (and many that you cannot) is being held. The idea is that anything we do in worship with the intent of being pleasing to God, to glorify G ... Tags:Bible authority, foot washing, holy kiss, head coverings
The Mysterious Eloquent Evangelist By: Denny Smith | - There are a lot of mysterious characters mentioned in the Bible we would like to know a lot more about than we do. Apollos, the eloquent evangelist, ranks right up there near the top among such New Testament characters. However, the fact that we know but little about him could be said equally of most of the apostles. The thing that makes Apollos mysterious is what we do know about him.
Never Give Up By: Denny Smith | - When we learn the truth of the gospel message, come to believe it, and then sincerely obey it we sometimes expect more of ourselves than is humanly possible for us to deliver. When we first come out of the water of our baptism we are determined that we will not sin, we are going to live sin free. This attitude is to be highly commended but is also unrealistic.
Many who obey the gospel do so when young and thus their own expectations about life are not in accord with reality. Th ... Tags:Christian life, give up, sinned, Moses, David, sin, forgive
How Is A Memorial Card Made? By: Tony Goold | - Memorial cards are good for the sole; they make you come to terms with what has happened. It puts a full stop after a terrible thing. People try to run away from difficult things but a memorial card really does help. Finding that right picture, the perfect poem and putting it together will help you over the hump.
One of the most amazing end-time predictions is that one man will eventually rule the world. He is primarily referred to as the Beast; although, 1 Jn. 2:18 refers to him as the Antichrist, by which most of the church has come to label him. Understanding the governmental structure of today, its inconceivable to think that the time is coming when countries like the United States ...

The Most Famous Bible Verse By: Michael A. Verdicchio | - For years, people have seen a sign with a reference to this verse while watching a football game on TV. Florida Gators 2007 Heisman Trophy winning quarterback, Tim Tebow, had this printed on his eye black during the 2009 BCS championship. While it is one of the most widely quoted verses from the Christian Bible, and has been called the most famous Bible verse, one part of the verse confuses some people.
Daily Devotion: The Meaning Of True Obedience By: Edwin Joseph | - Nowadays, it was greatly distressing to know that people have failed to obey what God has instructed them. First reason is because of lack of knowledge and ignorance since God's command is not being taught aside from church services. Second thing is because people lack interest in reading God's word. People don't give much attention to the verse "Don't let the Book of the Law Depart from your mouth, meditate on it day and night".

Death And Life And The Bible By: Robin Calamaio | - Death first. Is death just a part of life? Is it simply an impersonal, random event with no hostile intent? All longevity models (evolution) think so. On the other hand, if death is imposed - that changes everything. What a massive understatement. Evolution and Biblical Creationism, are the two primary competitors in Western thought on origins. They are at great odds on this subject. Indeed, the two systems could not be more diametrically opposed. Here is a comparative review of these t ...

The Central Message Of The Bible By: Robin Calamaio | - Introduction
Every book has a main point. Even poems and articles have a main theme. There is always, "the moral to the story," right? Well, the Bible has a main point too. The Bible addresses many subjects that are of great importance. But there is one subject that overshadows all others - our relationship and standing before God. There are four parts to this message. Each will be explored in order. The first part is the bad news or man's condition before God. The seco ...

Life Is Not Fair By: Duke Clarke | - The United States Constitution declares that all men (referring to men and women) are created equal and that they are entitled to such rights as life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. It's a wonderful concept and we have seen those who have benefited tremendously in their pursuit of happiness and we have seen those who, with little or no pursuit, have not benefited.
Somewhere along the line, we natural-born American citizens have adopted the idea that our constitution puts a ... Tags:God, bible, happiness, prosperity, life
Rescuing Eve - Setting The Record Straight By: Gary Kurz | - There is nothing more egregious to the human spirit than injustice. We can usually tolerate hardships or suffering when we feel that we are not alone; that others are enduring similar experiences in their lives. It may just be the old axiom "misery loves company" at play, but more likely it is the feeling that even if life is difficult, it is at least equally difficult for all. Somehow we derive a bizarre sense of fairness from this.
Hidden Agendas, Aliens, And The N.w.o By: Dana Smith | - In another interview on The Edgeam with Daniel Ott, the agenda of Aliens, The N.W.O. and wicked men came to light. The light was shown by a man named James Casbolt, who, until I resourced him and listened to his interview, did not know. The interview in the typical none attack format of Daniel Ott was definately convincing. I suppose you now are asking what we are doing writing about Aliens on a Christian website. I write because the research leads me to follow paths the Lord Opens up.

Death Before The Fall Of Man By: Greg Neyman | - Young-earth creationists have long argued against the occurrence of death before the fall of man. This mistaken doctrine stems from two verses in the Bible. The first is Genesis 1:29-30, which states, "And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth ... Tags:creation science, death, fall, man, adam, eden
