If we would know the reality of WHO GOD IS,

let us diligently and prayerfully study

the Person, words, and work of

the Lord Jesus Christ.

 

“Christ, as the Word, reveals the attributes and

perfections of God. How fully has Christ revealed God!

He displayed His power, He manifested His wisdom,

He exhibited His holiness, He made known His grace,

He unveiled His heart. In Christ, and nowhere else,

is God fully and finally told out.”

~ Arthur W. Pink ~

 

 

“And THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH, and dwelt among us,

(and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten

of the Father) full of grace and truth.”

(John 1:14)

“Evasive Blame-Shifting”

By Pastor Mark Sarver

 

In expounding Genesis 3:11-13, Pastor Sarver
provides much insight into the selfish
blame-shifting that occurred in the
Garden of Eden when God confronted
Adam and Eve with their sin. Pastor
Sarver then gives many examples of
how we as members of Adam's fallen
race are also guilty of blame-shifting.

“The Agony of Our Substitute
in Gethsemane”

By Lucien LeSage

In this excellent study of Matthew 26:36-44, Mark 14:32-41, and Luke 22:39-44, Brother LeSage takes us by faith to the holy ground of Gethsemane. Here is a brief excerpt from the article:

"Now dear reader let us put off our worldly shoes and go to that scene in the garden. Just as in a garden the first Adam plunged his posterity into ruin, so to in a garden the second and last Adam would begin the redemption of his posterity from that awful ruin. When Spurgeon wrote of this scene he wanted to be very cautious to harmonize our Savior’s deity with his humanity. If we are not careful we may minimize one or the other. I pray we do not do that in this article."

“Coming Events and Present Duties”

By Bishop J. C. Ryle

 

Bishop Ryle has the correct interpretation of Romans 11:26:
"And so all Israel shall be saved...."

 

 

At age 82, John Newton (1725-1807)—English pastor and author

of the popular hymn, “Amazing Grace”—said,

“My memory is nearly gone, but I remember two things,

that I am a great sinner, and that Christ is a great Saviour.”

 

 

Bridling the Tongue

See James 3:1-12

 

How can we gain control of our tongues? Only by submitting our minds and hearts to Christ. We speak what we think. Therefore, if the Lord Jesus is to be magnified in the way we use our tongue, He must be magnified in the way we use our mind also. Paul writes of Christians “casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ” (2 Corinthians 10:5). Paul knew that there could be no purity of speech apart from a genuine purification of our minds. The Lord Jesus also taught this truth when He said, “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matthew 12:34). If our hearts are daily surrendered to the Lordship of Christ, we will be meditating upon His Word and cleansed by that Word (Psalm 119:9, Ephesians 5:25-27)—and as a result, we will seek to be a sympathetic encouragement to other believers, rather than participating in backbiting and gossip about others. See Ephesians 4:29.

The Centrality of “Christ Crucified”

in the Gospel Message

 

The Gospel is not truly preached to sinners unless the focus

is upon Christ crucified, His substitutionary

blood-shedding on Calvary's cross

 

“For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness;

but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.”

(1 Corinthians 1:18)

 

“And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence

of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God.

For I determined not to know anything among you

except Jesus Christ and Him crucified.”

(1 Corinthians 2:1-2)
