Isaiah 53
2007-05-29 22:12:00
Jesus, our wonderful Lord laid down his life for us.We all like sheep wandered away. Our father in heavenlaid all our sins on Jesus so that we might be saved.How great is the love of our heavenly father.Let' s praise him. He is worthy of all our praise.Jesus died for us. Let's live for him.The Holy Spirit indwells us, let's please him. Amen!Isaiah 531 Who believes what we've heard and seen? Who would have thought God's saving power would look like this?2-6The servant grew up before God a scrawny seedling, a scrubby plant in a parched field.There was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look.He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.One look at him and people turned away. We looked down on him, thought he was scum.But the fact is, it was our pains he carried our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures.But it was our sin...

Motherhood: The Life I wasted?

Well, first, I want to be a wife and homemaker Yes, I want to be a wife and mother.What?!?! You just want to be a homemaker? Don?t you want to do anything? O, yes, I do want to do many things that?s why I want to be a homemaker and mother and that?s why I want to be married-to be a wife.You mean a smart girl like you would give up all that to stay home and do nothing? O, not nothing. I do want to stay home, but I assure you, I will not be doing nothing. I want to stay home because there is so much to do in fact, there?s so much to do, I?m sure I?m never going to be able to accomplish a fraction of all I?ll want to do.I can?t believe you?re going to waste your life.

Q & A
2007-05-17 02:31:00
Question from Aaron: God and the Future?This is similar to another question earlier, but very different.First, God put Adam with the Trees of Truth and Immortality. Then, when Adam and Eve ate the fruit. He became angered and worried--as if it wasn't supposed to happen. Why would he be worried if he knew that is what was going to happen? Does this mean that he set things up and let them work themselves out? This is really bugging me and I need more insight.Answer from Stan:Aaron, Good question. If you are new to the Bible, a good place to start is the gospel of John.God gave man a free will just because he didn't want us to be like Robots.When God created man, he was innocent. God's plan for man was that he would be Holy or whole.The tree of knowledge of good and evil & the tree of life were meant as a test for man. God had warned him earlier that if he could eat of the fruits of the thousands of trees around him but of the tree of knowledge of evil, he was not to eat of it. ...

A poem & a testimony

Love is patient, Love is kind,In Jesus Christ, find Love divine,A greater Love you will not find. With all your heart, let True love shine.By trusting in God?s only Son!In Jesus Christ, find Love divine. God?s promise cannot be undone,Lord Jesus Christ, God?s glory now.Trust in the one and only Son!Continued hereFor most of my life, I didn?t know anything about a relationship with a personal and merciful God. One of the greatest things I struggled with was pride - in the form of self-sufficiency, self-reliance, and trusting only in me, myself and I! I also carried around shame and guilt from my childhood which I kept completely to myself. I focused all of my energy on my education and career. In all honesty, my priorities had always been 1) career, 2) self, 3) children, 4) my marriage. Due to emotional stress, I began to drink frequently. Each evening after a 10 hour day at work, I would have glass after glass of wine. It did not interfere with my work, however; my inner tho...

Call Her Blessed: A Proverbs 31 Tribute
2007-05-15 01:02:00
Call Her Blessed : A Proverbs 31 Tribute to My Mother By Mrs. Crystal Paine ?Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.? Virtuous women are few and far between, but Dad is so blessed to have found one! Matthew Henry writes about this verse in his commentary, ?A virtuous woman is a woman?who has the command of her own spirit and knows how to manage other people?s, one that is pious and industrious, and a help meet for a man. A virtuous woman is a woman of resolution, who, having espoused good principles, is firm and steady to them, and will not be frightened with winds and clouds from any part of her duty.? You exemplify that to me every day of my life. ?The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil. She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life....

Got peace?
2007-05-11 21:56:00
Do you have peace in your life?You may be a believer and still have no peace.See, God is the author of peace. Money cannot buy you peace; material things cannot buy peace,a relationship cannot bring you peace either.Surrender your life to Christ. Lay it all at his feet. Give God the controlling interest of your life.Ask him to fill your life with peace.Scripture References:Psalm 34:14, Proverbs 3:17, Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 66:12, John 14:27, Romans 5:1, Ephesians 2:14

~~~***~~~*****~Preaching the good news of Jesus~~~*****~~~***
2007-05-11 04:00:00
It was strictly forbidden to preach to other prisoners, as it is in captive nations today. It was understood that whoever was caught doing this received a severe beating. A number of us decided to pay the price for the privilege of preaching, so we accepted the terms. It was a deal: we preached and they beat us. We were happy preaching; they were happy beating us,so everyone was happy.The following scene happened more times than I can remember. A brother was preaching to the other prisoners when the guards suddenly burst in, surprising him halfway through a phrase. They hauled him down the corridor to their "beating room". After what seemed an endless beating, they brought him back and threw him- bloody and bruised - on the prison floor. Slowly, he picked up his battered body, painfully straightened his clothing and said, "Now, brethren, where did I leave off when I was interrupted?" He continued his gospel message.From the book "Tortured for Christ By Richard Wurmbrand"For more in...

If you have made Jesu s your Lord & Savior and if you are walking in his footsteps as a disciple, you need not fear any evil or any man. God is your shield. He is with you to help you. Genesis 15:1 You can rest in his love for you. 1 John 4:18Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10 But now, thus says the Lord, your Creator.. and he who formed you, O Israel, "Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine! When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; And through the rivers, they will not overflow you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be scorched, Nor will the flame burn you. Isaiah 43:1,2 for he himself has said " I will never desert you,nor will I ever forsake you," Hebrews 13:5,6

"Great multitudes followed Him, and He healed them all." --Matthew 12:15What a mass of hideous sickness must have thrust itself underthe eye of Jesu s ! Yet we read not that He was disgusted, butpatiently waited on every case. What a singular variety of evilsmust have met at His feet! What sickening ulcers and putrefyingsores! Yet He was ready for every new shape of the monster evil,and was victor over it in every form. Let the arrow fly fromwhat quarter it might, He quenched its fiery power. The heat offever, or the cold of dropsy; the lethargy of palsy, or the rageof madness; the filth of leprosy, or the darkness ofophthalmia--all knew the power of His word, and fled at Hiscommand. In every corner of the field He was triumphant overevil, and received the homage of delivered captives. He came, Hesaw, He conquered everywhere. It is even so this morning.Whatever my own case may be, the beloved Physician can heal me;and whatever may be the state of others whom I may remember atthis mome...

Precious faith

"I pray not that you should take them outof the world."--John 17:15 It is a sweet and blessed event which willoccur to all believers in God's own time--the going home to bewith Jesus.In a few more years the Lord's soldiers, who are nowfighting "the good fight of faith" will have done withconflict, and have entered into the joy of their Lord. Butalthough Christ prays that His people may eventuallybe with Him where He is, He doesnot ask that they may be taken at once away fromthis world to heaven. He wishes them to stay here. Yet how frequentlydoes the wearied pilgrim put up the prayer, "O that I had wings like adove! for then would I fly away and be at rest;" but Christ doesnot pray like that, He leaves us in His Father's hands, until,like shocks of corn fully ripe, we shall each be gathered intoour Master's garner. Jesus does not plead for our instantremoval by death, for to abide in the flesh is needful forothers if not profitable for ourselves. He asks that we may bekept from...

Obedience: Its place In Holy Scripture.
2007-04-30 23:01:00
In undertaking the study of a Bible word, or of a truth of the Christian life, it is a greathelp to take a survey of the place it takes in Scripture . As we see where, and how often,and in what connections it is found, its relative importance may be apprehended as wellas its bearing on the whole of revelation. Let me try in this first chapter to prepare theway for the study of what obedience is, by showing you where to go in God's Word tofind the mind of God concerning it.1. TAKE SCRIPTURE AS A WHOLE.We begin with Paradise. In Gen. 2:16, we read: 'And the Lord God commanded the man,saying.' And later (3:11), 'Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee thatthou shouldest not eat?'Note how obedience to the command is the one virtue of Paradise, the one condition ofman's abiding there, the one thing his Creator asks of him. Nothing is said of faith, orhumility, or love: obedience includes all. As supreme as is the claim and authority of Godis the demand for obedience as...
