Israel's millennial rest in the land promised to Abraham and his descendants, is one part of their promised sabbath~rest, and the 'rest' that Christians enjoy through faith in Christ's finished work on Calvary, is a down~payment for the full sabbath~rest in which we will one day participate: "So there remains a sabbath rest for the people of God," in the eternal ages to come.

The gospel message of saving grace is the most important information that we will ever hear and it is most vital message that we need to share with a lost and dying world, for Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners and then to live His life through them ~ by grace through believing that: "Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day, according to the Scriptures."

May the desire of every Christian wife be to develop the inner beauty of her heart in her marriage, knowing that this is honouring to the Lord. May each one of us who are born from above similarly seek to foster the same internal qualities of heart and mind ~ the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious in the sight of God.

What a marvellous matter to know that the gift of eternal life, which we received at the moment of our salvation, is not conditional on our own steadfastness but on the truth of the Word of the Lord and the faithfulness of God's unchangeable character: "For His name's sake."
Praise God that when the aged apostle John said, "I am writing to you, little children, because your sins have been forgiven you for His name's sake," that this truth is as pertinent today as it was when John penned this first epistle to all God's 'little children'.

Happy Thanksgiving Soothkeep family!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!

What am I thankful for?
Jesus,
the Father,
the Holy Spirit,
the word of God,
eternal life,
solid Bible teachers,
strong circle of friends,
my wife,
my family,
relatively good health,
food on the table,
roof over my head,
simple pleasures like sunrises, bird songs, coffee.

Christ's abiding in us is dependent on our abiding in Him. This mutual fellowship and intimate communion is conditional upon each one of us dying to self and living for Him alone.. And when we are enabled to abide in Him and He in us we can ask whatever we wish and it will be done ~ because our heart will reflect the heart of Christ.. our choices will reflect the will of God and our prayers will pray into the very issues that are closest to the heart of the Lord Himself.. as in His power and might we abide in Him and He in us ~ to His praise and glory.

God in His Word has forewarned us of the travesty and devastation that follows those who in their heart have exchanged the truth of God for a lie.
But God in His long~suffering, loving~kindness, and great mercy, has extended the period of His gracious forgiveness to include you, and to include me, and to include all who will turn from their sins and believe on the Lord Jesus Christ for salvation, Who alone deserves our eternal praise and worship.

Anyone need a break?

Jesus came to the lost sheep of the House of Israel as their Messiah and King. But He also came as the sin~substitute for the whole world, for you and for me. He came as the Light of the world, the life~giving Light of men, the bright Light that shines in the darkness. Jesus came as the true Light Who came into the world to enlighten every man: "So that all who believes in Me will not remain in darkness."

Truly He is a wonderful God. His wisdom is pure wisdom, holy wisdom, godly wisdom, and eternal wisdom for all Who believe in Him. His knowledge is a storehouse of blessings to all of His children. His understanding is a table that is overflowing with good things, and all these good things are all found in Christ ~ Who is the wisdom of God and the power of God ~ and by grace through faith, we are one with Christ and He is of God.

I am all for discernment and sound doctrine. This has been my life for 45 years. But this, as every aspect of our pilgrim walk, must be done in love, in decency, and in order. In the past year I have watched several discernment ministries go off the rails. Not content to disagree with men of God, they choose to rail on them for a growing list of sins: selling books, holding conferences, having big churches, leading Christian cruise vacations, making as much money as a good carpenter. They accuse them of heresy for mere doctrinal disagreements. They accuse them of severe compromise for cooperating with blood-bought evangelicals who shall be in heaven.

A word of caution is in order. Gal 5:14-15, "For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this: 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' But if you bite and devour one another, beware lest you be consumed by one another!"

The recollection of that awesome moment when, together with James and John, he witnessed a glimpse of Christ's coming majesty, must have been etched in Peter's heart and memory until the day of his death. Peter must have been implored many times to recount those precious moments to these other saints, who also worshiped the Lord in spirit and in truth.
The reverential fear of the Lord Jesus Christ is very evident in this verse, and Peter calls each one of us to be holy for the Lord our God is holy. May we honour and reverence Him in all we do, for Jesus Christ is God’s dearly beloved Son: "In Whom I am well~pleased."

All that the Lord has done for us should inspire us towards sincere worship, fervent praise, impassioned homage, and everlasting worship. The recognition of God's boundless mercy and grace towards sinners such as us ~ should incline us to present our bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable unto God. May we be energised from this day forward, to give Him the glory and worship that is due to His holy name. May we be stimulated, in the power of the indwelling Holy Spirit, to offer Him the honour, praise, adoration, and thanks ~ for He alone is worthy.

Paul, an apostle and bond~servant of Christ, was prepared to work tirelessly for the Lord Who bought Him, with His own precious blood. He was willing to suffer, even to the point of death for love of his Lord. He was ready to affirm that his intense labour and tireless work was not credited to him because of his own might, merit or worthiness.. but was granted to him by God's grace and for God's greater glory.

Peter reminds us that we are living stones, being built up into a spiritual house and a holy priesthood in order to offer up spiritual sacrifices to the Lord God almighty... and Paul wrote instructions to Timothy so that we will know how Christians ought to conduct themselves in the household of God ~ which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and the support of truth.
How blessed we are to be members of the Body of Christ ~ living stones that are being built up into a spiritual house ~ whose Builder and Maker is God.
