By Oswald Chambers @utmost.org They said to Moses, “You speak with us, and we will hear; but let not God speak with us, lest we die.” —Exodus 20:19 We don’t consciously and deliberately disobey God— we simply don’t listen to Him. God has given His commands to us, but we pay no attention to them— not because of willful disobedience, but because we do not truly love and respect Him. “If you l…

By Dr. Henry M. Morris @ICR.org “And I will establish my covenant with you, neither shall all flesh be cut off any more by the waters of a flood; neither shall there any more be a flood to destroy the earth.” (Genesis 9:11) Those Christians who accept the concept of geological ages commonly have to explain away the great deluge by assuming it was not really a global flood. They realize that any f…

Bible Study by Jack Kelley @ gracethrufaith.com Those who ignore the study of end times prophecy are fond of quoting this famous line which appears in various forms in Matt. 24:36; Matt. 24:42,44; Matt. 24:50 and Matt 25:13 as their justification.  But earlier in the same passage, the Lord had admonished all who would read His words of prophecy to understand them (Matt 24:15) and elsewhere the Ap…

Miracles were a sure way to show people a sign that Jesus had unique, other-worldly power. They led many to believe in faith in Him; those who had not hardened their hearts against Him and many thousands who were awaiting the true Messiah and recognized Him. Jesus healed when asked to do so, and many times without being asked. He did so because He had compassion on the people. Someone once said…

  By Henry M. Morris @ Institute for Creation Research (icr.org) “And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.” (Ecclesiastes 12:12) It seems amazing, at first, that we should be reading a complaint from almost 3,000 years ago that too many books were already being published. The greatest book, of course, is t…

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:26-28 Man was made in the image of God and God is a Trinity. Therefore, it follows that a Triune God would create a triune man. The difference is that the Trinity is one God in three Persons, whereas a triune man is one person in three parts: body, soul, and spirit (1 Thess. 5:23)…

By Ray Comfort @livingwaters.com 1. We have been commanded to do so. We have been commanded to preach the gospel to all creation. Jesus said, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15). We need no other reason. 2. Hell exists. Jesus said, “But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you…

By Oswald Chambers @utmost.org Security From Yesterday “…God requires an account of what is past” (Ecclesiastes 3:15). At the end of the year we turn with eagerness to all that God has for the future, and yet anxiety is apt to arise when we remember our yesterdays. Our present enjoyment of God’s grace tends to be lessened by the memory of yesterday’s sins and blunders. But God is the God of our y…

There are eight gates – seven are open and one is sealed East Gate or Golden Gate 1.  GOLDEN GATE (EAST GATE) – The first and most important gate is the Golden Gate (named from Christian literature), also called the Eastern Gate (its location), or Mercy Gate (as it’s known in Hebrew).  Jesus made His triumphal entry into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday through this gate. He had been staying in Bethan…

A Bible Study by Jack Kelley @gracethrufaith.com Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign. The virgin shall be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel (Isaiah 7:14). There is perhaps no prophecy in the Old Testament more controversial than this one. Many liberal theologians reject the notion of the virgin birth of Jesus as being simply legend, Jews flatly deny i…

Hanukkah (also spelled Chanukah) is the Festival of Rededication, which celebrates the rededication of the Temple in Jerusalem after its defilement by the Syrian Greeks in 164 BC. It is also known as The Festival of Lights. The “lights” are the oil lamps or candles which Jews throughout the world light in remembrance of the miracle of the oil that occurred more than two thousand years ago. Althou…

By Mike Stallard, Int’l Ministries and Bible teacher for foi.org Although we’ll never grasp God in His entirety, we can still learn about Him through three things in particular. When I was a PhD candidate, I had to endure a comprehensive oral examination before four professors. The most surprising thing I was asked to do was “Define God.” I had not prepared for such a general, broad inquiry and h…
