How Dare We Say That We Know God? Tabletalk Magazine – Rev. Matthew S. Miller

31 Mar 2023 Michael A

The Scriptures do not tout our ability to know God but rather God’s ability to reveal Himself to the creatures He has made. Jesus declares, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will” (Matt. 11:25–26). …the agnostic’s claim that we cannot know God even if He exists rests on a claim that is not humble at all, for he proudly asserts what God cannot do (reveal Himself to His creatures)….

Morning and Evening by C H Spurgeon for February 28 [BY FAITH, Part 1 of 2]

28 Feb 2023 Michael A

I was about to type the points for Pastor Ramsey’s sermon, “BY FAITH,” and as I opened my E-sword Bible program, this devotional appeared as usual. Today, it happened to be about faith, so I thought I would post it too, before I post his sermon, as I have yet to type the points. Spurgeon’s two separate messages emphasized biblical faith, Pastor Ramsey’s sermon, the next post, describes, clarifies, emphasizes… the role of faith in the Christian life.

A Study Of Selected Verses From Proverbs 5 and 7

24 Feb 2023 Michael A

In Proverbs 5:5 and 6, Solomon talked about how the harlot leads one from the path of life – she has no concern for it, and will lead you from it by her wiles; and in Proverbs 7, he made a statement that she will lead a man down the path to death like an ox is led to the slaughter – he doesn’t know he is going to his death…. Some excerpts from commentaries are used to give significance and clarification to these verses and a couple from Hosea

CRT and Woke Doctrine of Demons – Pastor Patrick Hines Sermon #shorts

10 Feb 2023 Michael A

The following one-minute video is an excellent biblical critique of the CRT-WOKE-Church movement; those who embrace it are rejecting the true, biblical gospel. Consider Jesus’ words about such teachers: Matthew 15:8 “‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; 9 in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’”

The 10 points she enumerated may help you in your endeavors to read and understand the book of Revelation. Her points are an overview of sorts, providing a context for the contents of Revelation. A major point I appreciated is her points dealing with how to live this life based on Revelation: certainly not like the majority of Christianity is living today

PSALM 63:3 Because your steadfast love is better than life, my lips will praise you.

8 Jan 2023 Michael A

The following commentary on Psalm 63:3, by The Expositor’s Bible Commentary, speaks of the rewards of seeking God fervently. The commentary on the entire Psalm is pasted in for those who might want to read it. As encouragement to do so, check out the one sentence with which MacArthur’s commentary described 63:3: better than life. God’s covenant love is more valuable to David than life itself (cf. Php_1:21; Act_20:24). Those verses: Philippians 1:21 For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Acts 20:24 But I do not account my life of any value nor as precious to myself, if only I may finish my course and the ministry that I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God. The words from Expositor’s commentary are a wonderful read that fill out the understanding regarding those two verses.
