In our study recently on Thursday nights, a sister raised a question as we looked into the call of God. As we read chapter 10 of Studies in the Atonement by Dr. Robert Morey, the Scripture in 1 Corinthians 1:9 declares that God “called us into fellowship with His Son.” Christians understand the term “calling” as it relates to those in union with Messiah. We began to look ...
Good Evening. This evening as you surf through biblicalthought, I simply want to point your attention to the Savior. A simple remembrance of the man who lived the life we should have lived, and died the death we should have died. He is the one that we praise, worship, and adore. Are you carrying burdens that are breaking you? Roll them off and cast them upon Jesus! He ...
Last week we looked at a portion of a debate between James White and George Bryson. It is clear that there are many out there who want to know the whole truth according to Scripture alone! It is clear that George Bryson could not make sense of John 6:44, according to his own understanding. Here is the closing statement from James White. May it lead us to take ...
"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day." John 6:44 Listen carefully to George Bryson as he attempts to contend with the sharp two-edged sword of God's word! At the 1:00 minute mark, George Bryson says the following: "The point here is you cannot come, you are not able to come unless He draws ...
As we look at Christians who evangelize today, it is clear to see that many are ashamed of the gospel. Do we understand what it really means to evangelize? We would declare that to the degree a person is biblical, determines the sort of gospel they will preach. We have had great examples throughout history of great preachers like George Whitfield, who believed in the Doctrines of Grace. ...
Dr. Francis Schaeffer describes how unbelief and apathy destroy a society. As we see the unfolding of the video, compare what the Roman Empire went through leading to its downfall, and compare it to America today. Christians today are apathetic and indifferent. The mega churches don't care to defend biblical doctrine. The country is slipping further into depravity and apostasy, while the Christians sit back and ...
If I were to ask you to think back as far as it was possible for you to remember, how far back could you go? Our minds from birth to the present have absorbed ideas from millions of different avenues. Each and every day, our minds are invaded by commercials, billboards, movies, cartoons, radio ads, songs, talk shows, movie stars, co-workers, parents, family members, and so much more. ...
Ouch! These are prone to be fighting words in today's modern evangelical church. Mention one or the other, and defense mechanisms come right on up! Why should this be the case? As Christians, are we not called to be like the Bereans? Are we not to search the Scriptures? We are to be imitators, of those men who follow after Christ, men who do not compromise the truth! ...
As we take in what Paul has to say in His epistles, we find a treasure of blessings which flow out of the reality that we are in union with Christ. We, as followers of Messiah, must stop and realize that our union with Christ should not only be a knowledge that stops in the mind, but must penetrate to the inner most parts of the soul. The ...
Reflections from the Scriptures: "Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. And let endurance have perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1:2-4 "Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all men. The Lord is near. Be anxious for nothing, ...
Let us take a look at the words of David in Psalm 103. David begins by commanding himself saying, “bless the LORD, O my soul, And all that is within me, bless His holy name. Bless the LORD, O my soul.” So often today, we hear the prayers of others asking God for a blessing. “LORD, bless my life and provide for my every need.” ...
The song rings out, "come as you are, come and drink from the living water, that flowed from His hands, flowed from his side." The lights are dimmed, with everyone's heads bowed and eyes closed, the pastor calls out, "If you hear Christ, stand up like a man, come down to the altar." The pastor proceeds to let the song play out. He looks out and there are only ...
