'If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. When Christ, Who is our life, shall appear, then shall...

'If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.' (1 Cor. 15:19-20) Dear Nancy, I praise God that you know and echo the thoughts of my own heart, for we, as those who have...

'For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through Him might be saved. He that believeth on Him is not...

1 There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, like the wideness of the sea. There’s a kindness in God’s justice, which is more than liberty. 2 There is welcome for the sinner, and more graces for the good. There is mercy with the Savior, there is healing in his blood. 3 But we make God’s love too...

Faith, Hope and Experience were walking along a wall. Hope was fine as long as he kept his eyes on Faith, but when he turned around to look at Experience he fell off the wall, along with Experience, but Faith went walking on. :)

Hi @Nancy, Time and time again the Lord has had to hoist me up from the depths of despair I have felt at the depravity of my old nature, and set my eyes back on the surety of His promises. We see and experience the Old nature for it is familiar to us, it consists of flesh and blood, and has...

@Truman @amadeus Hello there, Yes, these are hard times, but like Peter who walked upon the water to His Lord, we must keep our eyes upon Him, and not look at the waters swirling around our feet, otherwise we will sink. We will begin to see our own frailty and loose sight of His strength, of...

@Nancy 'Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby. Wherefore lift up the hands which hang down, and the feeble knees; And make straight paths for your...

@Nancy Dear God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, We thank you for Nancy, and lift her up before you now, knowing that you love her and that she is ever before your eyes. Please bring to her memory all that she has been blessed with in Christ Jesus Her Lord, and remind her of the Rock upon...

Hi @Nancy, I have only now seen your OP. Let me work through it slowly and give it some thought. :) * Looking at this verse (Luke 11:13) first. The marginal notes in my Bible inform me that the reference to 'Holy Spirit' (Gr. pnuema hagion) in this verse, refers to spiritual gifts, because...

'For in Christ Jesus .. neither circumcision availeth any thing, .... nor uncircumcision, ...... but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule, .. peace be on them, .... and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.' (Gal 6:15-16) Hello @Jay Ross, Thank you for your input...

'Yet now hear, O Jacob my servant; and Israel, whom I have chosen: Thus says the Lord Who made you And formed you from the womb, Who will help you: ‘ Fear not, O Jacob My servant; And you, Jeshurun, whom I have chosen. (Isaiah 44:1-2) Hello @michaelvpardo, Thank you for quoting Isaiah...

Thank you, @Ben Abraham, You observations are a blessing. In Christ Jesus our risen and glorified Saviour, Lord and Head. Chris

'And what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, Which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, Far above all principality, and power, and might, and...

'But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. .. For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, .... nor uncircumcision, but a new creature. And as many as walk according to this rule...

Hello there, I have changed the wording of the OP, because I realised that I had made a mistake, and didn't want what I had written to become a stumbling block to someone else. We must be so careful what we say concerning God's Word, and be absolutely sure that we are accurate. Thank you In...

Hello @GEN2REV, Thank you for your input. It is appreciated: for it promotes further thought. I realise that the word, 'seed,' can be used in either a singular or plural sense. In relation to Genesis 3:15, the notes in my Bible margin declare 'the seed of the woman' to be singular, so I...
