Study Tools
 If you don't have a Bible you need to get one, it is the most important
book you can own. It is the Book of the Covenant of God to mankind. It
is the source and the goal of our Study.
The Bible contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way of
salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers. Its doctrines
are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are true, and its
decisions are immutable. Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and
practice it to be holy. It contains light to direct you, food to support you,
and comfort to cheer you.
It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's compass, the
soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Here Paradise is restored, Heaven
opened, and the gates of hell disclosed.
Christ is its grand subject, our good the design, and the glory of God
its end.
It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide the feet. Read it slowly,
frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth, a paradise of glory, and a
river of pleasure. It is given you in life, will be opened at the judgement,
and be remembered forever. It involves the highest responsibility, will
reward the greatest labor, and will condemn all who trifle with its sacred
contents.

A Life of Pure and Holy Sacrifice
He who believes in Me . . . out of his heart will flow . . . ? John 7:38  Jesus did not say, “He who believes in Me will realize all the blessings of the fullness of God,” but, in essence, “He who believes in Me will have everything he receives escape out of him.” Our Lord?s teaching was always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a…

Destined To Be Holy
. . it is written, ?Be holy, for I am holy? ? 1 Peter 1:16 We must continually remind ourselves of the purpose of life. We are not destined to happiness, nor to health, but to holiness. Today we have far too many desires and interests, and our lives are being consumed and wasted by them. Many of them may be right, noble, and good,…

?My Joy . . . Your Joy?
These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full ? John 15:11 What was the joy that Jesus had? Joy should not be confused with happiness. In fact, it is an insult to Jesus Christ to use the word happiness in connection with Him. The joy of Jesus was His absolute self-surrender and self-sacrifice to His Father? the joy of doing that which…

Silence, Please!
Our world has become increasingly noisy. But according to a news report, science has found a way to achieve absolute silence: ?Scientists have shown off the blueprint for an ?acoustic cloak,? which could make objects impervious to sound waves. The technology, outlined in the New Journal of Physics, could be used to build sound-proof homes, advanced concert halls, or stealth warships.?

Calvary shows how far men will go in sin, and how far God will go for man's salvation.
H. C. Trumbull
Luke 22:33 33When
they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him,
along with the criminals—one on his right, the other on his left.
Calvary also shows proof that man is enslaved to sin and a stranger to God by birth since the disobedience of Adam and Eve.
Romans 5:12 ,19
12 When Adam sinned, sin entered the world. Adam’s sin brought death, so death spread to everyone, for everyone sinned.
19 For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so...

The word preach appears 153+ times in the Bible!
The
word “Preach” in the Webster dictionary says the word “Preach” means
this: To deliver a sermon; To give earnest advice. To proclaim; To
publish in religious discourses; To deliver in public, as a discourse…..
When
people hear the word preach we have a tendency in our minds eye to in
vision a self righteous person pointing the finger telling people get
right or go to hell!
With that in mind folks will use the phrase “Well I don’t need to preach to people I just show them with my life”
While
there is some truth to leading by example...

This week I decided to share a message from a devotional I get because I thought it was important!
Loving People, Not Just Words
By Eric Elder
www.theranch.org (http://www.theranch.org)
The day I put my faith in Jesus was the same day I put my faith in
the Bible, from which I learned about Jesus. I fell in love with
both on the same day.
When people talk about how much they love the Bible, they’re not just
talking about a book from which they’ve learned much, they’re also
talking about a Person from whom they’ve learned much.
I suppose it’s like a young...
