WE MUST KNOW GOD'S WORD TO BE EFFECTIVE



DO YOU REMEMBER THE STORY IN LUKE 5 ABOUT JESUS TELLING PETER TO GO OUT INTO THE DEEP WATER AND DROP HIS NETS?  JESUS HAD SEEN THE TWO SHIPS STANDING BY LAKE GENNESARET AND THE FISHERMEN WERE OUT OF THE SHIPS WASHING THEIR NETS. JESUS ENTERED PETER'S SHIP AND ASK HIM TO TAKE IT OUT A LITTLE FROM THE BANK SO HE COULD TEACH THE MULTITUDE.  WHEN HE HAD FINISHED TEACHING IS WHEN HE TOLD PETER TO GO INTO THE DEEP WATER AND DROP HIS NETS.  PETER COMPLAINED THAT THEY HAD BEEN OUT ALL NIGHT AND HADN'T CAUGHT ANYTHING. HOWEVER, PETER WAS OBEDIENT AND DID WHAT JESUS SAID.  HE CAUGHT SO MANY FISH THAT THEIR NETS BROKE AND THEY HAD TO CALL THE OTHER SHIP TO COME AND HELP. THEY FILLED BOTH SHIPS SO MUCH THAT THEY STARTED TO SINK.

"HEAVEN" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-09-18


Heaven




Mark 12:25 'For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.'




The word heaven comes from the Greek word meaning 'the sky; heaven as the abode of God'; by implication, 'happiness; power; an eternity.'

Paul mentioned being caught up into 'the third heaven' in 2 Corinthians 12:2. Since 'the third heaven' exists, there must also be a first and second heaven. The first is probably the atmospheric heaven, the second, the abode of supernatural angelic beings, and the third, the place where God dwells.

God now dwells in the hearts of His people, but He also sits on His throne in heaven. The Lord's commitment to dwell in us and never leave us or forsake us, must be...

"THE RESURRECTION POWER" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-09-17


The Resurrection Power




Matthew 22:23 'The same day came to him the Sadducees, which say that there is no resurrection, and asked him,'




The Greek word used here for resurrection means 'a standing or rising up.' The resurrection is a major theme of New Testament teaching. Out of the 13 sermons in the book of Acts, 11 stress or simply mention the resurrection.

Man consists of three parts - a spirit, a soul, and a body (1 Th. 5:23). The body is mortal while the spirit and soul are immortal. At death, man's body goes through the decomposition process and returns to its original elements.

At the resurrection, man's departed soul and spirit are called forth from either heaven or hell. The material elements of the body are raised up, reassembled, and...

LOST REVERENCE FOR GOD AND THE BIBLE




DO YOU FEEL STRANGE BEING CALLED GOD'S CHILD?  DO YOU KNOW YOU ARE JOINT HEIRS WITH JESUS?  THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT WE ARE BOTH OF THESE.  LET'S JUST READ WHAT IT SAYS IN ROMANS 8:14-17 "For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together."  THE WORD "ABBA" WAS A WORD USED BY THE ROMANS MEANING "FATHER" BUT WE COULD USE IT AS...

"BEING FRUITFUL" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-09-16

BEING FRUITFUL



ARE YOU BEARING FRUIT?  IF YOU ARE BORN AGAIN YOU SHOULD BE. JESUS SAYS YOU ARE A BRANCH AND HE IS THE VINE. IF YOU ARE NOT ABIDING, OR CONTINUING PERMANENTLY, WHICH IS WHAT ABIDING MEANS, IN THE VINE, THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN BE FRUITFUL.  HERE IS WHAT JESUS SAID IN JOHN 15:4-5 "Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing."  WE LOOK AT THIS AND SAY, THIS IS GREAT, BUT IS IT?  IT IS IF WE ARE BEARING FRUIT.  WE KNOW THAT JESUS IS ABIDING IN US FROM WHAT HE SAYS ABOVE BUT ARE WE ABIDING IN HIM.  I PUT THE DICTIONARY DESCRIPTION "CONTINUING PERMANENTLY" TO PUT A...

"OUR LIFE BELONGS TO GOD" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-09-16


Our Life Belongs To God




Matthew 22:20-21 'And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's.'



MATTHEW 22:20-22



The image on the denarius, the only small silver coin acceptable for imperial tax payments, was probably that of Tiberius Caesar (reigned A.D. 14-37). The inscription upon the coin read 'Tiberius Caesar Augustus, Son of the Divine Augustus' with the reverse side reading 'Chief Priest.' This inscription was a claim to divinity and as emperor, the right to be worshiped.

The Jews had tried many times to accuse Jesus on the basis of religious issues and...

WATCHING YOUR THOUGHTS AND ACTIONS



I WAS THINKING BACK OVER THE PAST WEEK OF THE THINGS I DID AND ASKED MYSELF IF THERE WAS ANYTHING I WOULD HAVE BEEN ASHAMED OF IF JESUS HAD WALKED IN AND SAW ME.  WITH ME BEING 81 YEARS OLD AND NOT LEAVING THE HOUSE FOR WEEKS AT A TIME, I ACTUALLY DON'T DO MUCH THAT I THINK JESUS WOULD NOT APPROVE OF.  HOWEVER, WHEN I THINK OF SOME OF THE THINGS I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT, THAT IS A DIFFERENT PROBLEM.  I TRY NOT TO GET ANGRY ABOUT SOME OF THE THINGS I READ ABOUT WHAT IS HAPPENING TO OUR COUNTRY, AND THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO DESTROY IT, BUT SOMETIMES I DO.  I HAVE TO ASK FORGIVENESS FOR THOSE TIMES.

"OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS IS IN CHRIST" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-09-15


Our Righteousness Is In Christ




Matthew 22:11 'And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment:'



MATTHEW 22:8-14



In this time, it was customary for the host to provide their guests with wedding garments to wear to the wedding. It was an insult of the highest degree to refuse to wear the clothing provided since the guests were brought in directly from the highways and streets. The wedding garment speaks of the righteousness of Christ that God so graciously provides for all who accept His invitation into the kingdom. It must be put on by both good and bad (Mt. 22:10).

Right standing before a holy God is not to be achieved in keeping the law but in humble trust in the person and...

"PREDESTINATION" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2020-09-14

PREDESTINATION




HAVE YOU EVER HEARD ANY TEACHINGS ON PREDESTINATION?  THERE ARE PREACHERS AND TEACHERS OUT THERE THAT ACTUALLY TEACH THAT ONLY A FEW PEOPLE ARE CHOSEN BY GOD FOR SALVATION AND THE REST ARE PREDESTINED TO GO TO HELL. THESE ARE FALSE TEACHINGS AND THAT IS WHY WE NEED TO STAY GROUNDED IN GOD'S WORD SO WE WILL KNOW THESE THINGS.



IF THOSE PEOPLE WOULD READ 2ND PETER 3:9 THEY WOULD SEE THAT GOD HAS EVEN DELAYED HIS SECOND COMING SO THAT EVERYONE WOULD HAVE A CHANCE TO BE SAVED.
