Psalm 151; 1 Kingdoms/2 Samuel 17; 1 Corinthians 1:22-27 Orthodox stand pretty much alone in including Psalm 151 in the OT Psalter, though it has its uses also in the Armenian and Coptic churches. In the past, though, it was used as a canticle even some “Western” lands, alongside others like the Song of theContinue reading "Light from the Readable Books 29: Psalm 151 and David the Small"| Edith M.

Andrew Murray wrote: "Do not think of your love to Him, but of His great Love to you ...Meditate on this day and night until you have the assurance: He loves me unspeakably." Be grounded in "First Love", and then without any self effort, His unfailing Love will be shed abroad in your heart to those around you, making manifest the God of Love Who alone can destroy the works of the devil.

Imputation is the act of one person adding something to another person’s account (Genesis 15:6). As believers in Jesus Christ, we have this clear assurance in Scripture: at the cross, our sins were imputed to Christ and Christ’s righteousness was imputed to us.

When Jesus had received the sour wine, he said, “It is finished,” and he bowed his head and gave up his spirit (John 19:30).

He was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed (Isaiah 53:5).

Many people misunderstand the truth of God's omnipotence -- the fact that he has all power. So one might sincerely wonder why the cross of Jesus Christ was necessary. Why didn't God just waive his omnipotent "wand" and make everything okay without his Son having to die? The key is to remember that,| JustinHuffman.org | The Online Home of Pastor Justin Huffman

Paul wrote "whatsoever is not of faith is sin" (Rom.14:23). He also penned in Romans 6:11, "consider yourselves dead to sin but alive to God". So to enjoy all that God is and all that He has, we must simply exercise faith - i.e., believe! - that we are already dead to self, the senses, and all that is of the old sin nature. We ARE alive to God! And we live and live by His faith, our minds and affections set on things Above, and thus we enjoy Him and what we cannot see or experience by our sen...| GGWO Church Baltimore

“He saved others, Himself He cannot save. …” These were mocking words directed at Jesus as He hung on the Cross at Golgotha. Yes, these were words meant to wound the Son. These were also words most true. Jesus possessed all power and all knowledge. He knew what was possible.

Irony is probably too much to ask of youth. If I can remember myself in my college years, the most I could muster was sarcasm. Irony required more insight.

I recall the first time the phrase, “On the night in which He was betrayed,” struck my heart.

In this Age of Distraction, may the Lord pour out His Grace on us to (1) stay in the most excellent and highest way (of His Love, I Cor.12:31); (2) to hear, read, receive the Word of God richly and hide it in our hearts; and (3) to be occupied with the weightier matters of life which concern Him most: Righteousness, Justice, Mercy, and Faithfulness to God and to man (Matt.23:23; Prov.16:6).

When we realize the inestimable value of our sins being imputed to the Lord in exchange for His Righteousness being imputed to us, we will not hesitate to avail ourselves of His abundant Grace in order to walk from faith to faith in His promises, thus receiving imparted Righteousness and revealing the One Who IS our Righteousness!

Luke 23 is the chapter of the Cross. It, to me, is best described as a chapter of sound, of voices mostly. It requires reading with our imagination. We have to let our minds hear all that happens. Jesus has been betrayed, arrested, denied. He stood disowned. His own people have purposed to forsake Him.

What we can't possibly know nor understand now regarding what it was like for the Lord Jesus Christ to to leave Heaven and come to earth and experience all that He did, we will know in Heaven; because we will be just as He is, and we will know even as we are known. For now, we seize the privilege of living by Faith - the only way to please God - to grasp even minimally the price He paid to redeem humanity to Himself.

We preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God.

One way to contrast modern sensibilities with Christian sensibilities is to describe the difference between “the good life” and “a good life.” “The good life” is an advertising theme, a photoshoot of the American Dream where all obstacles are overcome through the miracles of technology, market forces, and unfettered freedom. “A good life” is an […]| Glory to God For All Things

On Maundy Thursday, we see Jesus washing the feet of those who would scatter, those who would betray, those who were disillusioned and angry and bewildered. And Jesus, knowing full well the shifty, half-baked crew gathered in that room, still went out of his way to call them all friends. Every one of them.
