Your first duty is not doing the will of the Lord but knowing it. You can't do the will of God unless you know it. You can't know it apart from spending time in his word, not as a mere devotional or religious exercise, but as the passion of a heart that burns to know the Lord, his word, and his will.

True peace can only be found in a relationship with Jesus. He is our source of strength and courage. Let us cling to Him, seek His counsel, and trust Him to lead us in the paths of righteousness. Through Him, we can have true and lasting peace, no matter what storms may come our way.

God is eternal. He is the first and the last, and He is without beginning or ending. He is the genesis of all that is and He is the revelation of all that ever will be. He is sufficient in Himself and needs neither man nor angels to find completeness. He existed in sublime glory and exists in great majesty. In Himself, He is self~sufficient, self~sustaining, and entirely complete. And yet, for the love of you and the love of me, Jesus stepped out of eternity in order to be born as a baby and to die on the Cross as the Saviour of mankind. Hallelujah! What a Saviour!

Believing the Bible is trusting the statements of Scripture at face value, using the normal rules of interpretation that we use for all literature. Yes, the Bible has amazing types and shadows, amazing number patterns, sometimes a layer or two of deeper implications or broader applications, BUT such things don't change the way we interpret the Bible. They are merely enhancement and authentication. The Bible was written with common diction, common grammar, common use of figures, and it must be interpreted with common diction, common grammar, and common figures. Any approach that comes with unique allegorical methods for interpretation must be rejected. It doesn't deserve two seconds of consideration. The allegorical method is a categorical rejection of God's future plans for mankind.

Let us glory in that wonderful name of JESUS and resist the deceit of the world, the lusts of the flesh, and the wiles of the enemy, by keeping the eyes of our heart fixed upon Him and the ears of our understanding ever open to His still small voice. We are saved... spirit, soul, and body, when we believe on Christ. We are saved once and forever when we trust in Him, "for there is no other name under heaven that has been given among men by which we must be saved."

"Made to be taken" is pure Bible. "Made to be grilled" is my paraphrase.

As the time for His departure drew ever closer, Jesus said to His disciples: "Peace be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you." In the same way that Jesus was sent by His Father to preach the gospel of God to a lost and dying world, so we also are sent by Jesus to preach the gospel of Christ to a lost and dying world: "That whosoever believes in Him would not perish but have everlasting life."

Requesting prayer. We have a serious leak problem in our roof. We have water dripping through in a couple dozen places upstairs (so my studio is unusable at present), and it is dripping through the outside walls downstairs on windowsills.

Update on the roof. Further investigation reveals that it probably isn't a roof leak but actually frost and condensation in the tiny crawlspace attic. Apparently the ventilation system isn't working very well.

The judgement of the unbelieving world was set in motion when they cried, "we will not have this Man to rule over us, crucify Him." The judgement of the unbeliever who has rejected God's gracious offer of salvation is horrifying, for they will one day have to stand before the 'Great White Judgement Throne of God' where their works will be found wanting. Let us keep this thought in our minds as we go about our days, and be ready to share the gospel with everyone.

If you don't yet have a copy of Recent Pre-Trib Findings in the Early Church Fathers, consider adding one to your library. It contains a wealth of material on the pretribulationism of Ephraim and Eusebius not found elsewhere, and it takes the pretrib argument in Irenaeus much broader and deeper than it is usually presented.

He breaks the power of canceled sin,
He sets the prisoner free;
His blood can make the foulest clean;
His blood availed for me.

Like the Corinthians, we are also called to be brave and strong in our Christian walk. We are not to compromise our faith but to cling fast to that which is good and noble, right and pure, honourable, admirable, and lovely. And we do this as we trust in the Lord with all our heart, for He is the Rock our Salvation and the Foundation upon which we stand. We are to be devoted to our brothers and sisters in Christ, for we are one Body united together in Him, not only in this life but in the ages to come.

Today is the day of salvation. Today is the day that we can minister to lost souls and point people to Christ. May we be diligent to tell others of the good news of the gospel of grace and rejoice with them in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, as we cast our crowns before HIS feet.
