Watchman: If Only His People Would Listen–But First We Must Come to Him by Faith, Listen to His Voice, and Obey

By SRH, Just three days following the miraculous passage of the sea, the Israelites started griping about the scarcity of water. In the first well, the water tasted bitter. The water became drinkable once Moses tossed in a specific tree, as God had instructed. Is it possible that this is a representation of how Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross made this world more bearable? God showed them another side of His character in the very following sentence. They would be delivered from the sicknesses they witnessed in Egypt, He promised, if they would just hear His voice, do what was right, listen to His commandments, and observe His regulations. “I am YHWH Rapha,” God declared. To put it another way, He is the divine healer. The Lord would heal their illnesses in the same way that He had healed the…

HOW “WORKS OF GRACE” BECOME THE ENEMY OF SAVING GRACE

  In this message I want to talk about what it takes to be saved. And what it takes to stay saved. With a special focus on works vs grace. In Gal.1 we see that salvation by works is anathema to Paul’s gospel. Yet we have still today those who would try to insert works somehow into the Bible’s salvation message. Even though Paul wrote things like “salvation is by grace through faith not of works” in Eph.2. And “to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” in Rom.4. And “if by grace, then is it no more of works: otherwise grace is no more grace” in Rom.11. Reading these it would seem impossible that anyone could incorporate works into Paul’s message about how men are saved. But, for…

A Summary of Events that Will Take Place during the End times

Many people think because Jesus has not yet returned, that He isn’t going to, and that perhaps, the Bible is not true after all. Wrong! Many have come to this conclusion without examining God’s Word or truly considering the possibility, and even the probability, of the existence of God. However, the existence of God and the return of Jesus is absolutely no laughing matter. God has, and I assure you he will continue to, faithfully keep his promises. This means one of two things are certain. You will either leave this life through death, or you will see the day that Jesus comes to take those who are his to be with him in his Father’s house. Exposing and actively resisting the spirit of the Antichrist should be of paramount interest and importance for every Christian. We are so easily led…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, “Hallowed Be Thy Name” (Matt. 6:9). Prayer Should Always Exalt God. Your Prayer Should Literally Begin and End With God

Daily Devotional: Psalm 102:15 says, “The nations will fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth Thy glory. The Disciples’ Prayer exemplifies the importance that God should place on our prayers. Jesus began by extolling the Father, saying, “Hallowed be Thy name” (v. 9), and then asked for the Father’s kingdom to come and His will to be done (v. 10). He ended with a praise song: “For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen” (v. 13). God is the beginning and finish of his prayer. “Hallowed be Thy name” extols the Lord’s name and establishes a tone of reverence and surrender that is maintained throughout the prayer. Wherever God’s name is honored, He will be loved and worshipped, His kingdom will be joyfully expected, and His will will be…

HEY, IS THAT THE MOTE IN YOUR EYE THAT JESUS WAS TALKING ABOUT?

Edward O’Hara… I mean, a mote?! Really? When in a discussion with someone about right and wrong and they are quick to say “judge not” as so many do when trying to justify wrong behavior, how should we respond? Because after all Jesus did say, “Judge not, lest ye be judged”, right? Do you think Jesus was commanding them never to judge? Many believe that He was. And many have tried to give different meaning to what Jesus and Paul taught on this subject so that what Paul writes about judging will make sense to them. If that’s you then you will be very surprised to find that there was really something completely different going on here. Here’s what Jesus said as it is given to us in the Bible, “Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what…

Being a Leader is not Always About Being in the Front

It’s all About Taking Care of Your Team… We can learn from this pack of wolves an invaluable life lesson: The 3 wolves in the front are either old or sick. They walk in front to lead the way so as to set the pace. The 5 wolves behind them are the strongest. They protect the front in case of an attack. The 5 wolves, behind the middle group, are also amongst the strongest, they protect the backside. The middle group consists of newborns, pregnant females, and young wolves. They are fully protected from the front as well as from the back. The last and the lone wolf in the back is the leader. He ensures no one is left behind. He keeps the pack tight and cohesive. Also in case of an ambush, he remains active to run in any direction to protect his pack. So what can we learn from that…

Christian Beliefs Are ‘Pro-Nazi’? Teacher Fired for Opposing Pro-Transgender Lessons Recalls Ordeal

The world is upside down, good is bad, bad is good… Jesus come quickly there’s nothing left in society that is wholesome…. Doctrine is “a set of ideas or beliefs that are taught or believed to be true.” Biblical doctrine refers to teachings that align with the revealed Word of God, the Bible. False doctrine is any idea that adds to, takes away from, contradicts, or nullifies the doctrine given in God’s Word. For example, any teaching about Jesus that denies His virgin birth is a false doctrine, because it contradicts the clear teaching of Scripture (Matthew 1:18). As early as the first century AD, the false doctrine was already infiltrating the church, and many of the letters in the New Testament were written to address those errors (Galatians 1:6–9; Colossians 2:20–23; Titus 1:10–11). Paul exhorted his protégé Timothy to guard against those who were peddling heresies…

Instagram account exposing pastors’ expensive footwear sparks controversy”heresy”

A Christian can be defined as a person who has, by faith, received and fully trusted in Jesus Christ as the only Savior from sin (John 3:16; Acts 16:31; Ephesians 2:8–9). And in the heart of the Christian resides the Spirit of Christ (Ephesians 3:17; 1 Corinthians 6:19; Romans 8:11). Now, “if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Christ” (Romans 8:9), and this person, then, is not a Christian. Thus, the term “fake Christian” is a misnomer. You are a Christian or you are not a Christian; one is either with God or against God (Matthew 12:30). That being said, this question is certainly a legitimate one in the minds of many people. And this is likely due to the behavior of some Christians; however, it is also likely because of the behavior of many who think…

BIBLE VERSES ABOUT LOVING YOUR ENEMIES

LOVING YOUR ENEMIES It is always easier to submit to Christ when he tells us to love our spouse, family, and friends. But when Jesus commands us to love even our enemies, how can we be counter-cultural and obey his teachings? The truth is all of us are sinners, while we were still enemies of God, He has chosen to redeem us, love us and forgive us. Since God made everyone in His image (including our enemies) and extended this undeserved love to us, we should also forgive our enemies and love them like how we love God. When we reconcile a relationship with our enemies, there will surely be peace in our hearts and that’s the reward from God. Below are some bible quotes about loving our enemies and we can use them to pray and seek God. But I tell you, love your enemies…

Pastor Robert Jeffress: Trump Is A ‘Perfect’ President Sent By God – Unlike Buttigieg!

A prophet is a person who speaks God’s truth to others. The English word prophet comes from the Greek word prophetes, which can mean “one who speaks forth” or “advocate.” Prophets are also called “seers,” because of their spiritual insight or their ability to “see” the future. In the Bible, prophets often had both a teaching and revelatory role, declaring God’s truth on contemporary issues while also revealing details about the future. Isaiah’s ministry, for example, touched on both the present and the future. He preached boldly against the corruption of his day (Isaiah 1:4) and delivered grand visions of the future of Israel (Isaiah 25:8). Prophets had the task of faithfully speaking God’s Word to the people. They were instrumental in guiding the nation of Israel and establishing the church. God’s household is “built on the foundation of the apostles and…
