EPHESIANS 1:4-5 JUST AS HE CHOSE US IN HIM BEFORE THE FOUNDATION OF THE WORLD, THAT WE EXIST HOLY AND WITHOUT BLAME BEFORE HIM IN LOVE, HAVING PREDESTINED US TO ADOPTION AS SONS BY JESUS CHRIST TO HIMSELF, ACCORDING TO THE GOOD PLEASURE OF HIS WILL.

What are the true values that exist in the Kingdom of God? We read in Matthew 16:24–26: Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If any one wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his life shall lose it; but whoever… Continue reading Winner or loser?

None of us can walk away from loyalties, and responsibilities, from the actual word of God that gives us a relationship and a duty toward parents, toward church, toward every situation, but we must remember we are serving the Lord first. All is lost if there is not a walk with God—a walk in which… Continue reading Walking free from from oppression

The New Testament begins with an amazing book called Matthew, written by a renegade Jew who became a publican. People in those days when referring to sinners would say, “publicans and sinners,” because a publican was an appointee of the Roman government to collect taxes. You must picture the deep, intense loyalty that existed, almost… Continue reading The law of the jungle or the law of the King

This message will involve three passages from the twenty-sixth chapter of Matthew. The first starts at verse 31.

There are always many decisions that must be made for the brethren, the churches, and the different projects that are before us. As I feel my own inadequacy for this, I realize that a growing tide is coming in the walk, that of almost despising the humility which confesses, “I don’t know, but I’ll seek… Continue reading Betrayal

The foolishness of man subverteth his way; and his heart fretteth against the Lord. Proverbs 19:3. We go through many experiences in this walk with the Lord, that closely parallel events in the lives of men in the Scriptures. Recently I wandered through four consecutive chapters in the book of Exodus, noting people’s reactions to… Continue reading Murmuring

The victory in which we walk is the victory of Christ, won at the cross. Do not think of the cross merely as an instrument of His torture and humiliation, but as the area of conflict where the victory of the Lord was wrought. But now hath Christ been raised from the dead, the firstfruits… Continue reading The enemy within

Ephraim, he mixeth himself among the peoples; Ephraim is a cake not turned. Hosea 7:8. Ephraim is a cake not turned—half-baked. The term “half-baked” is not a compliment. To say that someone is half-baked means that he is lacking something. In other words, he is deficient. That is what God said about Ephraim. He mixed… Continue reading The divided heart and the half-baked cake

Now on the first day of unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying, Where wilt thou that we make ready for thee to eat the passover?

One of the most remarkable statements in God’s Word is found in Acts 13: ACTS 13:22 And when he had removed him, he raised up unto them David to be their king; to whom also he gave testimony, and said, I have found David the son of Jesse, a man after mine own heart, which… Continue reading Keeping short accounts with God

We need to understand the law of heredity. When Abraham offered tithes to Melchizedek his unborn great grandson Levi was involved in it. It was as if Levi himself was offering tithes to Melchizedek. What Abraham was doing involved his grandson. The law of heredity worked against us in the first Adam. Because Adam decided… Continue reading The law of heredity
