🛑STOP! R U TRASHING🗑️YOUR #BIBLE 📖⁉️

-

 





Last night I went to a Thrift Shop - found a record of George Beverley Shea, that’s a treasure. But it was interesting how many Bibles were there - probably 8 or so. More than any other book.


Now it's the best selling book of all time. But there's also just something in us that says we shouldn’t trash these holy pages. I feel the same way!


It's interesting to me that the Lord had me read Psalm 50 in my time with Him this morning.

Psalm 50:17 (NLT) 17For you refuse my discipline and treat my words like trash.


In that context, He is talking about those who hear and recite the Word but don’t obey it. They approve thieves and are with adulterers, they lie and slander. And as they disregard God’s sayings by not obeying them. They are despising them - they are treating them like garbage.

So - devotional though for today - don’t treat God’s Word like trash - obey it!

“But as for me, the nearness of God is my good; I have made the Lord GOD my refuge, That I may tell of all Your works” (Psalm 73:28). Speaking God’s Works is a prominent theme in the Songs of Israel.  I’d like to ask you to glorify our God for doing wonderful works in a tangible way by providing a house for our family.  Front Porch Thankful for believing, praying, women in my life. I’ll be honest, I have not been praying very believingly about a new house until recently.  But my mom has been praying for years, and my wife has been praying for years, and my daughters have been praying for at least a year that the Lord would provide a house for our family. When my mom recounted to me the different amenities she was praying for, I tried to stop her.  “Mom, we are in NYC.  We don’t need to think about purchasing a home.  And especially one like you are asking for.  That is for people who live in suburbia.  God has called us to pastor here and it is too expensive to ev

🌒3️⃣ECLIPSES OF #BIBLE AND what THEY MEAN 🌙 #DailyDevotional #Christian #Prophecy #Religion #EndTimes

The Three Eclipses of the Bible and What They Mean Our eyes come across three eclipses in the Bible. The first one is when God judged Egypt for mistreating His children. This was one of the ninth of ten plagues... the final one before total rejection. "So Moses stretched out his hand toward the sky, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt for three days" (Exodus 10:22). The second is the glorious one when Jesus is on the cross and the wrath of God for our sin is placed on Him. This darkness too lasted three hours. IN this time, God's wrath, the judgment for the sins of humanity was placed upon Jesus and He died in our place. "Now from the sixth hour darkness fell upon all the land until the ninth hour" (Matthew 27:45). The third eclipse mentioned is yet to come. In several places the Bible foretells a time when God’s wrath will be poured out on the earth and there will not be an eclipse of just a small section but the whole earth. This will mark a

Lloyd Jones and Billy Graham – Association or Separation

-
Image
I just finished Ian Murray’s biography on Dr. Martyn Lloyd Jones.  His ministry is an inspiration to me.  I love the simple consistency he exhibited and his reliance upon God ordained methods to accomplish God’s purposes. One area I find Lloyd Jones exhibited great wisdom was how he graciously resisted the overwhelming tide of the ecumenism of his day. Dr. Lloyd Jones believed that the ends should not justify the means.  In the 1950’s, ecumenism in England was championed by most Evangelical leaders.  Leaders like J I Packer believed that they were to gain greater respect by association with and dialog within theologically liberal associations.  The hope was to heal the cancerous body from within by being a healthy cell.  His end goal – a more respected evangelical voice. His means – accommodation with theological error. Most conservative evangelicals [1] today side with Lloyd Jones against Packer.  Association with those who deny fundamental truths of Scripture is wron
