  • Do you believe Jesus? – I doubt it.

    Do you believe Jesus? – I doubt it.

    Do you despise God?  Do you always believe Jesus? I doubt it? 

    Numbers 14:11 And the Lord said to Moses, “How long will this people despise me? And how long will they not believe in me, in spite of all the signs that I have done among them? (ESV)

    Spurgeon asks: Do you add weight to Jesus’ crown of thorns?

    I probably do all too often. (Forgive us, Lord.)

    What more convicting words do we hear than some from God through Moses, the Prophets, the letter writers of the New Testament and especially Jesus:

    O you of little faith…

    Oh, foolish Galatians…

    You who are so slow to believe…

    Of course you doubt your Bible. You probably need to read your Bible more and pray about what you have read. I do.

    Charles Spurgeon’s daily devotional ‘Morning and Evening’ urged faithful followers to do just that.

    My thanks to Truth For Life and the broadcast ministry of Alistair Begg for use of Spurgeon’s devotional message to help me talk of Jesus this morning.

  • Foundation of Truth

    Foundation of Truth

    “Trust requires a foundation of Truth seasoned by integrity. Build your Heavenly home with Christ Jesus.

    John 14: excerpt

    “Don’t let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God, and trust also in me. 2 There is more than enough room in my Father’s home. … 3 When everything is ready, I will come and get you, so that you will always be with me where I am. 4 And you know the way to where I am going.”

    5 “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We have no idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?”

    6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

  • True of False Teaching?

    True of False Teaching?

    But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there will be false teachers among you, who will privately bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction. – 2 Peter 2:1 – Webster Bible

    How is it that you can listen to false teachers for hours, yet will not READ your Bible even for minutes?

    Do you believe the Bible? How will you know if your teacher is false?

    Peter writes this warning to the church.  Media of this 21st c. rapidly spreads many false teachings who now publicly proclaim ‘damnable heresies.’ You can find whatever you want to believe on the Internet, on TV, on the radio, and in many churches who seek followers of anything to support their false gospel and give to their false causes.

    IF you do NOT hear the Name Jesus, IF Christ is never mentioned, IF you do NOT hear of the Cross and the Resurrection, IF only brief mention of scripture is used to make a point of what God is doing for YOU: beware.

    Most modern Bibles soften the Greek for ‘heresy,’ but the meaning remains. Have you read this warning of Peter to the church? Do you even know what a heresy is?

    Heresy – It’s an act of taking something from someone else, choosing a non-Biblical belief, dissensions arising from diversity of opinions and aims.

    The One certainty of Truth is Christ Jesus. IF you want to follow Him and NOT some false teacher, try reading the Bible just a bit more (daily is best) and listen to those trying to teach you something about God a lot less. False teachers abound.

    Do NOT follow the crowds of false teachers who steal the sheep of Jesus and rob the flocks of their salvation.

    Jesus IS Lord.  Have you heard your shepherd say that lately? Could you be following a liar and a thief? Check out every teaching in the Bible.
