THE MAN BORN BLIND
Jesus Christ healed many people of many infirmities and diseases. He cast out devils and yet there was one thing, one act, that would prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that he was the Son of God and that was to heal a man that was blind from his mothers womb, a man born blind. Have you ever thought through the process of healing someone that was blind? Not only do the eyes have to be repaired but the brain has to be programmed to understand what the eyes are seeing
MORE ABOUT BELIEVING
In the Bible there are a few themes that run from Genesis to Revelation, one theme is Jesus Christ and another theme is believing. It is imperative to believe God. Not to believe that there is a God but to believe God, to believe the Words that were given to holy men (II Peter 1:21). Without believing you will live in the realm of the five senses where circumstances control your life and where you are tossed about with every wind of doctrine (Ephesians 4:14). With believing you will rise up above the circumstances where you are protected by God and all things that you need are provided.
GODLY WISDOM AND UNDERSTANDING
I was reading Psalm 119 a couple of weeks ago and came across and astounding bit of scripture that I have been thinking about ever since. Psalm 119 is very unique in that each verse refers to the word or words of God. Whether it be “precepts” or”judgments” or “commandments” or “statutes” it always about God’s Word. Psalm 119 is, also, the longest Psalm in the Bible.
So, what were the verses that caught my attention so profoundly?
SOME SCRIPTURE TO MEDITATE ON THIS WEEK
John 3: 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE LORD!
There is a story in the Bible that epitomizes how we should walk and act as Christians today and what happens when we loose focus. The record is in Matthew chapter fourteen.
NO NEED FOR WATER BAPTISM
Do you know how many forms of water baptism there are? Some dunk, some sprinkle and some sit there and think about it (dry cleaning). But to really know the truth about baptism you have to go back to the Word of Truth, the Bible and let that Word speak.
RIGHTEOUSNESS IS FROM GOD!
I have talked to several people over the years that have a real issue with the concept of the righteousness of the Christian. They believe that because they did something in their past it precludes them from obtaining that righteousness they so desperately desire. However, when a person gains a clear understanding of what the Bible has to say about righteousness and the examples that it gives then people are set free from the doubt, worry and condemnation.
WWJD – JWB
For a long time the acronym WWJD meaning “What Would Jesus Do” has been floating around. But NOW you are about to find out the answer to that question. The short answer is that JESUS WOULD BELIEVE THE PROMISES OF GOD! Now the question is “will you follow in His footsteps?”
THE TRUTH OF II CORINTHIANS 2:14-16
Sometimes it is hard to understand the Bible due to a lack of understanding of biblical times and the culture of that era. II Corinthians 2:14-16 is based on the culture of Rome 2000 years ago and without that knowledge it is impossible to understand this passage. However, with an understanding of the Roman Triumphant Procession from that period this passage come to life and gives the Christian cause for rejoicing.
THE STORY OF GIDEON
The story of Gideon is a wonderful story of God working with a man to bring great deliverance to a nation. In this story we see that it is not in the number of people that you have nor the armaments and material possessions that keep a country free but the believing and trust in God.
