"GIVE AGAPE LOVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"GIVE AGAPE LOVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Matthew 23:12 "And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted."

MATTHEW 23:10-12


In Romans 12:10 we are admonished to desire the welfare of others more than our own; to like others better than ourselves. That is an awesome command that is only obtainable through God's supernatural love. If this very simple, yet very profound truth could be understood and applied, then strife would cease (Prov. 13:10). The world would see Christianity as never before, and we would discover the true joy that comes from serving someone besides ourselves.

There is much confusion today on the subject of love because we have only one English word (love) to describe a broad aspect of meanings. For example, if I said, "I love my wife, I love apple pie, and I love my dog," obviously I am not talking about love in the same degree or definition.

"SEEK GOD'S WISDOM" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"SEEK GOD'S WISDOM" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Matthew 23:1 "Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples,"

MATTHEW 23:1-9


This rebuke by Jesus to the scribes and Pharisees for their hypocrisy was the harshest treatment that He ever gave to any group. He did this publicly before the multitude, the people the hypocrites most wanted to impress.

Jesus had faced many prior battles with the scribes and Pharisees. On this particular day, the encounter started with the chief priests and elders challenging Jesus' authority. Jesus stunned them by replying with a question that challenged their authority. He then used three parables to illustrate that the leaders of the Jews had rejected the rule of God in their lives, despite their pious religious acts. They "perceived that he spake of them."

The Pharisees countered by tempting Jesus with a question about paying taxes to the Roman government. Then the Sadducees tried...

"PEACE" BY DAVID MCMILLEN






                                  "PEACE"

 

DO YOU HAVE PEACE?  IF NOT, THEN YOU DID NOT TAKE IT.  IF SOMEONE GIVES YOU SOMETHING, YOU HAVE TO REACH OUT AND TAKE IT OR YOU WILL NOT HAVE IT.  IF I GIVE YOU A MILLION DOLLARS AND YOU DON'T ACCEPT IT, IT IS NOT GOING TO DO YOU A BIT OF GOOD.

"UNDERSTANDING TRUTH" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"UNDERSTANDING TRUTH" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Luke 20:44 "David therefore calleth him Lord, how is he then his son?"

LUKE 20:41-44


Jesus took an apparent contradiction in scripture and through combining these paradoxical statements (concerning the humanity and deity of Christ) brought forth the truth that Christ is God in human flesh. Both assertions (the fact that Jesus was David's son and yet David's Lord) were right at the same time.

It was correct that Christ was David's son and it was also correct that Christ was David's Lord. This meant that Christ also was God. However, Christ was not exclusively David's son nor was He exclusively David's Lord. These two truths had to be combined to arrive at the whole truth. No truth of God's Word stands independent of the other truths in God's Word.

A lack of balancing truth with truth is usually the cause of much contention among men when interpreting scriptures. Some argue...

                                                   FELLOWSHIP WITH JESUS TODAY


HAVE YOU TALKED TO JESUS THIS MORNING?  I DON'T MEAN PRAYING AND ASKING FOR SOMETHING, I MEAN JUST TELLING HIM GOOD MORNING AND THAT YOU LOVE HIM. DON'T YOU FEEL GOOD WHEN YOUR KIDS TELL YOU THAT? IF YOUR FRIENDS SPENT THE NIGHT WITH YOU, WOULDN'T YOU SAY "GOOD MORNING" TO THEM WHEN YOU GOT UP?  WELL, JESUS SPENDS EVERY NIGHT WITH YOU.  TWO SCRIPTURES COMES...

"JESUS THE SERVANT" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"JESUS THE SERVANT" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Mark 12:29 "And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord":

MARK 12:28-30


Jesus repeatedly made reference to His deity for which the Jews had sought to kill Him, and yet He quotes from Deuteronomy 6:4, that "The Lord our God is one Lord." There are not two or three Gods and yet Jesus claimed to be God just like God the Father. This union is a great mystery that defies human understanding but can be accepted and believed.

Jesus in His pre-existent state was in the form of God. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." Jesus is God manifested in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). However, Jesus did not demand or cling to His rights as God. He laid aside His Divine rights and privileges in order to take the form of a servant and be made in the likeness of man. He further humbled Himself by...

"THE TWO GREATEST COMMANDS" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"THE TWO GREATEST COMMANDS" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Matthew 22:36 "Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself."

MATTHEW 22:34-46


Jesus revealed that all of the Old Testament laws were designed to instruct us how to love God and love others. Therefore, the two commands that dealt directly with loving God and others (Lev. 19:18 and Dt. 6:5) were the most important.

The religious leaders had become so obsessed with keeping every minor detail of the law that they had lost sight of its ultimate purpose. They neither loved God nor their fellow man, yet they thought they were keeping the law.

The same thing is happening today. Some of the cruelest acts of men towards their fellow men have...

"ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE BORN AGAIN" BY DAVID MCMILLEN



                                             ARE YOU SURE YOU ARE BORN AGAIN?


I  WROTE ABOUT THIS ABOUT A YEAR AGO AND SINCE I HAPPENED TO MENTION A MEMBER OF MY FAMILY, I THOUGH I WOULD GIVE YOU AN UPDATE.  THINGS SEEM TO BE GETTING A LITTLE BETTER.   THERE HAS BEEN NO REAL COMMITMENT BUT AT LEAST THEY ARE LISTENING AND ASKING QUESTIONS.  I THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND ASK THAT YOU CONTINUE LIFTING THEM UP TO THE LORD.


NOW I WILL ASK THE SAME QUESTIONED AS I DID LAST YEAR.  HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUT WHY YOU DESERVE TO GO TO HEAVEN?  IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT ABOVE, I HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER THAT IS NOT SAVED AND HIS WIFE GOT VERY UPSET WITH ME WHEN I TOLD HER THAT IF HE DIDN'T ACCEPT JESUS AS HIS SAVIOR HE WAS GOING TO HELL.  SHE THINKS THAT BECAUSE HER HUSBAND HAS BEEN A GOOD PERSON ALL HIS LIFE THAT JESUS WOULD NOT LET HIM GO TO HELL. I TOLD HER THAT IT...
