A Deeper Relationship with Jesus

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on May 22, 2013 at 3:30am

by Susan Ferguson

He will rejoice over you with gladness, He will quiet you with His love, He will rejoice over you with singing. (Zephaniah 3:17)

More than anything else, Jesus delights in having a deep and abiding relationship with you. Every area of your life is of interest to Him, including daily routines that may seem mundane and insignificant. Some of you doubt that He is concerned with such trivial matters. Because of His invisibility and apparent silence, it is difficult for some peo

Now we see that sin is when we know to do the right thing and not doing it, or we do the wrong thing. We know that we sin when we do not obey God but how did sin get started in the world? When God created the world He made everything perfect! All the animals were perfect, all of the plants were perfect and Adam and Eve were perfect. God allowed Adam and Eve to eat of every tree in the Garden of Eden, but the tree in the middle. It was the tree of the knowledge of good and e

Walking In The Light
by Dr. Henderson Ward

There are times when it is necessary to run, for by so doing you may prolong your life; there are times when jumping is to be expected, as in jumping for joy; there are times for walking, like walking by faith, walking with caution and walking with godly fear. However there is always the need for believers to walk in the light; not here the natural light of the sun or moon, or the light of human reasoning, all good and proper in their places, but

Morning Bible Study: The Ten Commandments

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on May 18, 2013 at 3:52am

by Dave Ingram

The ten commandments given to Israel by God in the book of Exodus stand out among many ancient codes of law as a set of governing principles that have stood the test of time. The ten commandments have done more to influence the tenants of government around and societal norms across the globe than any other body of law. A study of the ten commandments can reveal much to modern readers about the way humanity is meant to function in a perfect world.

I have traveled all over the world and have spent many years of my life studying the history of the world and can't recall any instance of a surviving civilization without an intact family structure--mother, father, and children.

I fully understand that the march towards modernity waits for no one. In communications, we went from teletype to telephones; from newspapers to radio; from radio to TV; from TV to mobile devices.

In transportation, we went from walking to horses; from stagecoach to

Set your heart on God; then follow your heart
by Janelle Goodwin

Set your heart on God, and then follow your heart. This is something that my Mom wrote on a frame she made to hold a picture of me & my husband. This was to remind me of my journey and the reward that I received for following God with all of my heart. These words couldn't be truer. November 17, 1999 my grandfather passed away. At the funeral my brother spoke on the topic "what's on your tombstone?" He went through the Bible statin

Bible Story

When Daniel was a young boy the king made a special request for Daniel and his friend to train in the palace with the king. Training in the palace was a very special treat for Daniel. Only the smart kids were allowed to learn in the king's palace. Daniel knew in his heart God had a special purpose for this training. Daniel wanted to follow the plan God had for his life. It was very important for Daniel to listen to God. Daniel made the decision right then to hav

How to React to Obnoxious Christians by Dr. Henderson Ward

by Dr. Henderson Ward

Christianity is a religion like no other and it is incontestably the case that all genuine Christians are like Jesus, for it is his moral and spiritual qualities, so much an indispensable part of his nature that the possession of them define believers as Christians. To be Christian sets one apart as possessing all the qualities of grace endowed by Almighty God that enables the Christian, through the agency of the Holy Spirit, to exhibit qualities indicating spiritual tran

The Daily Affirmation of Faith

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on May 13, 2013 at 3:00am

by Victor M. Matthews

Today I deliberately choose to submit myself fully to God as He has made Himself known to me through the Holy Scriptures which I honestly accept as the only inspired, infallible, authoritative standard for all of life and practice. In this day I will not judge God, His work, myself or others on the basis of feelings or circumstances.

In particular--I recognize by faith:

That the triune God is worthy of all honor, praise, and worship as the Creator, Sustainer, and End

1. Authorship:

By common consent without any debate authorship is attributed to Paul the apostle. Paul himself has claimed the epistle to the Romans in 1:1 "Paul a servant of Jesus Christ called to be an apostle ---". We can confirm his authenticity from another standpoint. This epistle bears the similar characteristics as seen in Galatians. There are certain agreements with the book of Acts, viz.

In His Second commandment, God speaks of idols which He greatly detests. Interestingly, idolatry is the one commandment that has severe warning and punishment that extends to children and grandchildren; He says in Exodus 1:5, "You shall not bow down to them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me."

Jealousy is a strong human emotion and we observe that the first murder

"The people remained at a distance, while Moses approached the thick darkness where God was."Exodus 20:21 (NIV)

We know the truth of God's word that tells us the He will never leave us nor will He forsake us but when there are seasons that are hard and painful we wonder in all our desperate humanness, "Where is God?". But maybe there are times when God asks us to approach this thick darkness because He IS there waiting for us. Maybe, just maybe, there hovers an encounter lik

On the top of my business logo, has the scripture verse proverbs 3:5-6 ' Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.' (AMP)

This scripture is held close to my heart, why? Because I know without God's guidance, without leaning to my own understanding both my business and personal c

In today's modern world and especially in the USA, there is a health epidemic sweeping the Nation, with approximately 50 % of all Americans on some form of regular medication for health conditions which didn't, or rarely existed 100 years ago. I personally believe the 50% figure is much higher, as there are at least two and sometimes three different pharmacies at major intersections and a few miles down the road there is two or three more, each staffed with dozen or more emplo

Beware of Wolves in Sheep's Clothing

by Robert Driskell

Jesus warned his followers to "Beware of the false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly are ravenous wolves" (Matthew 7:15). There are many who claim to be Christians today who are in the business of leading people into false belief in order to take advantage of them. Televangelists constantly promise financial peacefor a sacrificial donation to their ministries. Faith healers claim that they have been gifted by God to heal others, but if you don't get

"He is despised and rejected by men, A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted."Isaiah 53:3-4

Many people of Jesus' time despised Jesus. He represented all they were not; all they couldn't be, holy, righteous, kind, and full of love and forgiveness. He was (and is) God. Jesus i

Bible Study: A Biblical Understanding of Knowledge and Wisdom

Posted by Prince Malachi The First on March 15, 2013 at 8:41am

Etymologically the two words, 'Knowledge and Wisdom' are interchangeable in meaning. According to Longman's Dictionary, 'Knowledge' means understanding, learning and information about something, while 'Wisdom' means quality of being wise. 'Wise' means one having large experiences and much knowledge. From the biblical point of view, however, the two words are totally different from one another in meaning and concept. In Colossians 2:3 Jesus is said to be the source of all knowledge and wisdom.

I recently met someone who has links with churches in Nepal. I told him that I had heard that the church was growing very well in Nepal, and I asked him if what I had heard was right. He replied quite simply: 'It's like the book of Acts.'

What he meant, as he went on to explain, was that the church is indeed growing very well in Nepal, and that, in similar fashion to what we find in the book of Acts, God is using miracles to help cause this growth. (In this article, when I use the
