CHAPTER ONE — SAINTS ALIVE!
Ephesians 1:1-3
She had gone down in history as "America's Greatest Miser," yet when she died in 1916, "Hetty" Green left an estate valued at over $100 million. She ate cold oatmeal because it cost to heat it. Her son had to suffer a leg amputation, because she delayed so long in looking for a free clinic that his case became incurable. She was wealthy, yet she chose to live like a pauper. Eccentric? Certainly! Crazy? Perhaps�but nobody could prove it. She was so fool…

OUR MINISTRY
“We all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord” (2 Corinthians 3:18). What does it mean to behold the Lord’s glory? Paul is speaking here of devoted, focused worship. It’s time that’s given to God simply to behold him. And the apostle quickly adds, “Therefore seeing we have this ministry” (4:1). Paul makes it clear that beholding the face of Christ is a ministry we all must devote ourselves to.
The Greek word for beholding in this verse is a very strong e…

"Murmur at nothing," marked Charles Caleb Colton, an Eighteenth Century clergyman on one occasion, "if our ills are irreparable, it is ungrateful; if remediless, it is vain."
Do you ever find yourself complaining simply out of habit? Sometimes our lives may became so filled with church, work and family activities that we have little time left for physical relaxation. We find ourselves complaining over our hectic schedule - even though we love all the things we do and wouldn't want to dispense wi…

“Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few” (Ecclesiastes 5:2).
There is often a pretense in long prayers. A desire to build up “credit power” with God; an ambition to duplicate the prayer lives of men used of God; a subtle attempt to overwhelm the Lord with enough words to weary him into action. I wonder—does God ever get bored? Does he long for more prayers and petitions…

LUKE 16:19-31 "
This is before Jesus Birth,
This is not a parable v. 19, because it mention name such as Abraham, Lazarus, and Hades. It is a story used by the Saviour as an illustrative answer to the money-loving and justifying Pharisees (vv.14-15); it is a warning to them, unveiling that their future will be miserable, like that of the rich man, as a result of their rejecting of the Savior’s gospel because of their love of many
The gulf:

Defend the Front Line!
By Heidi Swander
I was stunned recently by the story of a pastor from Brazil. One day in the not-too-distant past he was airborne and seated next to a lady who, at 6 p.m., began praying fervently. When an opportune moment presented itself, he asked her if she was a Christian. Much to his chagrin she said, no, that she was praying to her father, Satan, for the demise of pastor so-and-so.
As the conversation progressed, this Brazilian pastor found out that the Church of S…

What about the Rapture? ITS TIMING
We are here for the purpose of informing the Church about the urgency to reach the Jewish people with the Gospel in the United States and other parts of the World. It is our sincere desire to see all the Christians in America respond to the challenge that God has placed in our hands and see our nation come to God through Jesus Christ our Lord.
We have placed this page here because some Christians believe that they will be taken in the Rapture before the la…

Psalms 46:10 Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth.
Before refrigerators, people used ice-houses to preserve their food. Ice-houses had thick walls, no windows, and a tightly fitted door. In winter, when streams and lakes were frozen, large blocks of ice were cut from the frozen waters, hauled to the ice-houses, and covered with sawdust. Often these ice-blocks would last well into the summer.

The Cleansing, Healing Power of His Blood

Study the seven feasts which God instructed Israel to commemorate in Leviticus 23.
Joel 2:23 Be glad then, you children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he has given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
The Messiah will come like the Spring rain and the Fall rain. God kept the four Spring Feasts as follows:
1. Jesus Christ (the Lamb of God) was crucified on the Feast of Pessac…

The Eyes Are The Windows
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinful men so that you will not grow weary and lose heart. (Heb.12:2-3).
It is said that if one stays in a rut long enough, the rut will become a grave. Not everything that is endured is what is necessary. For there is much that is go…

It is important to believe in a physical resurrection because it is part of the gospel. It is just as important as believing Christ died for our sins. It is the proof that the Father accepted Christ’s death. Paul writes in Romans 1:3-4 “concerning His Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who was born of the seed of David according to the flesh, and declared to be the Son of God with power according to the Spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead.” So we see the resurrection proved who Jesus w…

Holiness might be considered a strange topic by many to be addressed at the beginning of the third millennium after Christ. In our culture today, it’s almost a forgotten topic. It is given brief consideration but not taken seriously by many. The reason lies in the fact that many aren’t living holy lives and have very little to say to others about holiness. I want to say at the outset to those who may get uncomfortable about the topic of holiness, that the doctrine of grace and freedom in Christ…

I remember as a young man reading the classic by E.M. Bounds, The Power of Prayer. The author told story after story of great men and women of prayer who would often spend hours and hours in prayer each day. I was excited about the prayer lives of these amazing prayer warriors, yet something that so intrigued me, also disturbed me. These great prayers, after spending hours praying, would often cry over their prayerlessness and lack of devotion to prayer. I remember thinking, "If t…

As a society, we have gotten used to illicit sexual relationships, adolescent promiscuity, abortion, cheating, lying, stealing, prostitution, rape, divorce, and even murder. We have gotten used to financial mismanagement on both civil and personal levels. We have accepted political corruption. We have rejected personal and social responsibility and learned to blame anyone or anything else for our problems and failures. We have traded in our infinitely valued divine image for a nickel-plated paga…

The Church is mentioned sixteen times in fifteen times in the first three chapters of the Book of Revelation but is not found in chapter 6 through 18 – the Tribulation period.
1. Tribulation is Israel’s time of suffering – “Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it: it is even the time of Jacob’s trouble; but he shall be saved out of it” (Jeremiah 30:7).
“And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people (Israel): and there shall…

The psalmist writes the following about one of God’s greatest promises: “If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments; if they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments; then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. Nevertheless my loving-kindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail” (Psalm 89:30-33).
God promises to never remove his loving-kindness from us, no matter how badly we may fall. Yet many…

HELL
*The English word hell is defined in our dictionaries as:
the abode of evil spirits: infernal regions; place of eternal punishment or extreme torment; in ancient times, the place of departed spirits. “The word infernal means “ belonging to hell.” The word inferno is another word for the infernal regions; hell.” Gehenna is defined as “the place of future torment; hell; hell-fire.” Tarsus is defined as “the place of punishment in the lower world.”
Note: this is the definition I keep *…

The Rapture- The Catching Up
1 Th 4:13-18 (NKJV)
13 But I do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning those who have fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who sleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descen…
