"LIMITLESS FORGIVENESS" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-06-07


Limitless Forgiveness




Matthew 18:33 'Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?'



MATTHEW 18: 21-35



Peter thought he was being very generous by offering to forgive his brother seven times in one day, but Jesus said he should forgive him 490 times in one day. It would be impossible to have someone sin against you 490 times in one day. Jesus is actually saying that there should be no limit to our forgiveness.

When we are offended or hurt, we often feel justified in holding a grudge. The Old Testament law expressed this when it stated, 'Eye for eye, tooth for tooth' (Ex. 21:23-25). Until the offense was paid, we did not feel free to forgive. However, God dealt with all men's...

"DISCIPLINE BRINGS LIFE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-06-06


Discipline Brings Life




Matthew 18:18-19 'Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.'



MATTHEW 18:15-19



Verses 18 and 19 have many applications, but taken in context, they are specifically referring to church discipline. Some might think that church discipline is only symbolic and carries no real weight; however, Jesus is making it clear that in the spiritual realm, discipline that is directed by the Holy Spirit has much power.

The scriptural commands concerning...

"TALK ABOUT TALKING" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-06-05












TALK ABOUT TALKING

 

 


THE OTHER DAY I WROTE ABOUT TALKING TO YOUR "MOUNTAINS", MEANING THE "MOUNTAIN" BEING WHATEVER PROBLEM YOU MIGHT BE HAVING AT THE TIME.  TODAY I WANT TO JUST TALK ABOUT "TALKING".  A LOT IS SAID IN THE BIBLE ABOUT THE TONGUE.  (JAMES 3:2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.)   WE TEND TO SAY THINGS WITHOUT THINKING AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.  WHEN YOU ARE TELLING THAT ILLNESS...

"GOD LOVES US" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-06-05


God Likes Us




Matthew 18:14 'Even so it is not the will of your Father which is in heaven, that one of these little ones should perish.'



MATTHEW 18:12-14



One of the greatest truths of the Bible and also one of the hardest to comprehend, is that we are the objects of God's love. God didn't just pity us or feel some sense of moral obligation to save us. He saved us because of His infinite love for us (Jn. 3:16).

God loves people. He even loves those who have gone astray. As Jesus said in a similar parable (Lk. 15:7), 'I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.'

Once we experience the life-changing power of...

"ANGELIC PROTECTION" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-06-04


Angelic Protection




Matthew 18:10 'Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.'



MATTHEW 18:10-11



We have angels assigned to us. Hebrews 1:14 further reveals that their purpose is to minister to us (i.e. on our behalf). In the Old Testament, Psalm 91 teaches on the ministry of angels to God's people.

Some have realized this truth and have taken it even further to say that we are supposed to speak to our angels and they will obey our commands. There is no instruction in scripture to do this nor is there any example of it being done. Many of the angels' protective duties described in Psalm 91 are preventative,...

"RIGHTEOUS ANGER" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-06-03


RIGHTEOUS ANGER

 

IS IT BAD TO GET ANGRY?  JESUS DID.  THE JEWS' PASSOVER WAS AT HAND AND THERE WERE JEWS IN THE TEMPLE WHO SOLD THE OXEN, SHEEP AND DOVES TO THE PEOPLE WHO HAD COME TO MAKE AN OFFERING TO GOD.  A LOT OF WORSHIPERS HAD COME FROM MILES AWAY AND INSTEAD OF BRINGING THEIR OFFERINGS, THEY BOUGHT THEM IN THE TEMPLE.  THERE WERE ALSO MONEY CHANGERS TO EXCHANGE THE DIFFERENT CURRENCIES OF THE PEOPLE TO THE...

"HUMILITY BEFORE HONOR" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-06-03


Humility Before Honor




Matthew 18:4 'Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.'



MATTHEW 18:1-5; MARK 9:30-37; LUKE 9:46-48



It is interesting that Jesus used a little child to illustrate humility. Although it is true that little children have a purity and humility that is many times missing in adults, they certainly are not selfless. A child comes into the world totally self-centered, wanting what he wants when he wants it. Parents are to train children out of this self-centeredness.

One of humility's dominant characteristics is a God-dependency and not a self-sufficiency. The truth of humility being the key to greatness or success was not new. Jesus gave this...
