Pray!
EM Bounds quoting Moody! “Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed. And Simon and those who were with Him searched for Him. When they found Him, they said to Him, “Everyone is looking for You.” – Mark 1:35-37 “And this is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.” – John 17:3 Continue reading Pray!
The greatest pleasure
Nothing so delights the faithful soul as the healthy consciousness of an unstained modesty. To have vanquished pleasure is the greatest pleasure; nor is there any greater victory than that which is gained over one’s desires. He who has conquered an enemy has been stronger, but it was stronger than another; he who has subdued lust has been stronger than himself. He who has overthrown an enemy has beaten a foreign foe; he who has cast down desire has vanquished a domestic adversary. Every evil is more easily conquered than pleasure; because, whatever it is, the former is repulsive, the … Continue reading The greatest pleasure
The 12 Hittites gods of the underworld
Apparently, no other source of history mentioned the Hittites except the Bible and then they were discovered. So, only the Bible knew of the existence of the Hittites at one point. Kind of interesting… God bless Continue reading The 12 Hittites gods of the underworld
Be turned to God
Forsake the idols which human error has invented. Be turned to God, whom if you implore He will aid you. Believe in Christ, whom the Father has sent to quicken and restore us. Cease to hurt the servants of God and of Christ with your persecutions, since when they are injured the divine vengeance defends them. For this reason it is that none of us, when he is apprehended, makes resistance, nor avenges himself against your unrighteous violence, although our people are numerous and plentiful. Cyprian of Carthage. 1886. “An Adress to Demetrianus.” In Fathers of the Third Century: Hippolytus, … Continue reading Be turned to God
God rebukes
You are indignant
The sins of lying, of lust, of fraud, of cruelty, of impiety, of anger, God rebukes and finds fault with, and no one is converted to innocency….. You are indignant that God is angry, as if by an evil life you were deserving any good, as if all things of that kind which happen were not infinitely less and of smaller account than your sins. You who judge others, be for once also a judge of yourself; LOOK INTO THE HIDING-PLACES OF YOUR OWN CONSCIENCE; nay, since now there is not even any shame in your sin, and you are … Continue reading You are indignant
What fear
After all these things, in the conclusion of the prayer comes a brief clause, which shortly and comprehensively sums up all our petitions and our prayers. For we conclude by saying, “But deliver us from evil,” comprehending all adverse things which the enemy attempts against us in this world, from which there may be a faithful and sure protection if God deliver us, if He afford His help to us who pray for and implore it. And when we say, Deliver us from evil, there remains nothing further which ought to be asked. When we have once asked for God’s … Continue reading What fear
To prefer nothing whatever to Christ
Now that is the will of God which Christ both did and taught. Humility in conversation; stedfastness in faith; modesty in words; justice in deeds; mercifulness in works; discipline in morals; to be unable to do a wrong, and to be able to bear a wrong when done; to keep peace with the brethren; to love God with all one’s heart; to love Him in that He is a Father; to fear Him in that He is God; to prefer nothing whatever to Christ, because He did not prefer anything to us; to adhere inseparably to His love; to stand … Continue reading To prefer nothing whatever to Christ
Ever read Isaiah 49:6 and Acts 1:6-8
Only the Jesus of the Bibles fulfills the mission of Jesus in Isaiah 49:6 and Acts 1:6-8. There is no need for another 1800 years later. History evidences that only Christianity has spread to the utter ends of the earth as predicted by Jesus and Isaiah (and that is no small accomplishment at all). The religion of Mormonism didn’t spread anywhere even according to their own accounts as it was lost for 1800 years and now they pigging bank off of the OG. This is how I know to trust the Jesus of the Bible in opposition to that of … Continue reading Ever read Isaiah 49:6 and Acts 1:6-8
