God Never Changes

Yesterday I read a line in one of my favorite songs, “The Solid Rock”. It says, “I rest on His UNCHANGING grace.”
How is God’s grace unchanging? He Himself does NOT CHANGE, and never will! That’s why the faithful remnant can rely on Him fully at all times in any situation. A sure word of comfort to us who believe in Jesus! May this video make us realize how much different He is than the most dependable human being in the world.

The Hope to Which We Are Called

The hope we have in Christ is FIRM and GROUNDED! His work of salvation is PERFECT and FINISHED! Need we add any “work” on our part to the Rock for keeping the hope secured? Certainly not! Praise God for giving us into Jesus’ hand and giving the eternal life to all who believes! “The Father loves the Son and has given all things into his hand. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever does not obey the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God remains on him. (John 3:36)” Our obedience is the result of faith alone in Christ alone. Do you obey the Son? If so, praise the LORD for the solid ROCK for all other ground is sinking sand!

Deliverance through Prayer

This devotional, “Deliverance Through Prayer”, is a combination of three Tabletalk devotionals concerning the same person.  God gave him a very special gift!  Watch and see what this gift was.  

The World, the Flesh, and the Devil

The struggle with sin that we have in our Christian life is NORMAL. Behind sin is the world that  we are in, the flesh that we have in our “bodies”, and the devil that is the “prince of the power of the air” (Ephesians 2:2). It is beneficial for us that we understand what exactly we are battling with and what we are to do about our problem of sin.

Thank God for the power of the Holy Spirit that we have and the victory that we have in Christ!

The Glory of the Restoration

What is a Christian life supposed to be like? Will God ever leave us without hope? Praise God that once He began His work in every child of His, He will discipline us and teach us until we are fully restored at the time of the new heavens and new earth! Sure… we will fail Him again and again, but, at last, His work in us will accomplish to the fullness of His glory!

You Really Know The Truth?

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you had known me, you would have known my Father also. From now on you do know him and have seen him.”(John 14:6-7) Knowing (and practicing) the truth in the Bible has SO MUCH to do with knowing Christ! Some people, even theologians, twist the scripture to support their beliefs that Scripture does not warrant. Today there is a notion that biblical truth cannot be known and it is like God does not successfully communicate it to us!
This is based on the fact (that is really a falsehood) some people believe “there are too many interpretations!” Praise God that He makes those born again able to understand the truth!

“The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned.” (1 Corinthians 2:14)

Bearing Our Sins In His Body

If you will read Deuteronomy 21:18-23 about a young man who was stubborn and rebellious, you will see that he was justly stoned to death and his body was hanged on a tree. His mom and dad were the ones who brought him to be cursed. Certainly, Jesus’ body was not on a pretty cross. It was horrible! God brought Him there and cursed Him! The good news is that God’s Son voluntarily went to the “tree” and died with our sins imputed to Him.

The Spirit Of Life

Old-covenant believers were born-again! This may sound kind of odd, but, as we will study Isaiah 32:9-20, it will become clear that they experienced what we experience today - that is the spiritual rebirth or we may call it ‘regeneration’. (You will learn what ‘regeneration’ means from this video.) Let’s praise God for His amazing grace! We should be happiest people in the world!

Bible verses: Isaiah 32:9-20; Genesis 1:1-2; John 3:5; Colossians 1:13-14; Ephesians 2:1-3; Romans 5:6-8

The Mystery of God’s Purpose

I just decided to choose this old video for today for two reasons. Number one - It explains what we are to do to continue to have gratitude toward God. (The new video I will post tomorrow will be about the gift of new life that we should immensely enjoy and be so grateful to God for it!) Number two-  In “Brad’s Thought” of this old video, I explained how God the Father draws us to Himself. Very interesting!

Free Will OR Freed Will?

We know that God commands people everywhere to repent and depend on Him for salvation instead of depending on earthly “saviors”. Although we are commanded to repent and believe, can we do that if it was not for God’s saving grace? Is there such a thing as “FREE WILL” on our part to make a right choice for Jesus? OR does our WILL have to be freed from slavery of sin first? Find out from this video!

Bible verses: Psalm 27:14; Habakkuk 2:3; Isaiah 30:18,1; Micah 7:7a; 2 Peter 3:9; Ezekiel 36:26; Acts 11:18; 2 Timothy 2:24-25; John 8:34; Ephesians 2:1-5; Romans 8:7; Colossians 2:13; John 6:44; 1 Peter 1:3a
