By Edward O’Hara, THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS WITHIN YOU- LUKE17:20,21

By Edward O’Hara. Jesus said “The kingdom of God is within you” to a people who were expecting a messiah to come who would deliver to them a physical kingdom after conquering their enemies. But, these expected a natural kingdom to be theirs by the hand of a judge/deliverer just as the judges like Samson, Moses, and others had in olden times. But, the kingdom Jesus spoke of was one that delivered them from the natural men they were from the time Adam was made, to spiritual men for which Jesus came to make all men. From an inheritance through flesh and blood by a water birth from their mother’s womb. To an inheritance through spiritual birth that made them children of God and heirs to His eternal and spiritual kingdom in heaven. Both are literal kingdoms. And the Jew…

THINGS YOU WERE TAUGHT IN CHURCH THAT ARE NOT TAUGHT IN THE BIBLE- Acts17:10,11

There are a whole host of things we find out by reading the Bible ourselves that we have been deceived to believe are in it that really are not. Things like “God helps those who help themselves.” To make you want to do your part in whatever job needed done. When really God helps those who trust in Him. And really God helps all of us when you think about it. Because the Bible says God rains on the just and the unjust, right? Because even man’s very breath is guaranteed by God. And then there’s the old standard, “Cleanliness is next to godliness.” Usually used to get you to wash your hands and clean your room when you didn’t really want to.   In this message I will illustrate a few very critical things we were taught about and…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, Anxiety Weighs Down the Heart, but a Kind Word Cheers It Up. Proverbs 12:25–The Power of Kindness

People’s Lives and Hearts Today Seem to Be Filled With a Tremendous Amount of Conflict SRH: People’s lives and hearts today seem to be filled with a great deal of unrest. People are worried out everywhere. Anxious. They are quick to voice their ideas. There are financial concerns. People are complaining and being angry with organizations more than ever before. It might be overwhelming to see how many concerns and problems there are in the world when we read the daily news. There are numerous factors that can trigger anxiety.

Watchman: Daily Devotional, The Act of Confessing One’s Sins I Prayed to the Lord, Who Is My God, and I Confessed What I Had Done (Dan. 9:4). Confession Results in Forgiveness and Preserves the Integrity of God’s Character

Confessing your sins indicates that you agree with God that you have offended His holy character, are deserving of punishment, and require forgiveness. That is exactly what Daniel does in verses 5-16. “I was speaking and praying, and admitting my fault and the sin of my people Israel, and bringing my supplication before the Lord my God,” verse 20 says. Unlike some who face God’s chastisement, Daniel did not shift blame for Israel’s disaster. Instead, he recognized that his people had deliberately disregarded God’s Word and neglected His prophets, bringing wrath on themselves. They were once a God-blessed nation; now they were immigrants and captives in a foreign place. God had followed through on His vow to condemn them if they disobeyed Him (Deut. 28:15). Daniel examines the repercussions of Israel’s transgression in lines 12-15, including her imprisonment and the…

IN GOD’S IMAGE AND LIKENESS. A TERM MEANT FOR ALL MEN? OR JUST ADAM? Gen.5:1,2

By Edward O’Hara ,In this message we will look at why some who claim to be teaching the Bible say only Adam was made in God’s image and likeness. And that the rest of mankind were made in Adam’s image and likeness. And why they say there is a difference. And if they Bible agrees with them. Some think that Adam was made in God’s image. While Gen.5:1,2 saying the rest of mankind being made in Adam’s image means they are not made in God’s image. So let’s work through this from a Biblical, rather than a Augustinian, which in all reality is a gnostic, perspective. Because the gnostic perspective denies that Jesus came in the same flesh all men have. And by doing so have aligned their understanding about the incarnation of the man Jesus with the gnostics of…

Watchman: Daily Devotional, The People in Jesus’ Hometown Were Impressed by Him. Once They Realized What He Was Saying, They Tried to Find Reasons to Be Mad at Him. If Someone Doesn’t Like the Message, They Will Soon Become Critical and Start to Find Fault With the Person Who Brought It

Matthew 13:56-58 (NIV) 56 Aren’t all his sisters with us? Where then did this man get all these things?” 57 And they took offense at him. But Jesus said to them, “Only in his hometown and in his own house is a prophet without honor.” 58 And he did not do many miracles there because of their lack of faith. At first, the people in Jesus’ hometown were impressed by him. When they realized what He was saying, they tried to find reasons to be mad at Him. If someone doesn’t like the message, they will soon become critical and start to find fault with the person who brought it. The word for offense in Greek is skandalizo, which comes from the word for scandal, skandalon. The word for the thing that sets off a trap is “skandalon.” The trap…

Watchman: Happy Thanksgiving 2023, The Thanksgiving Season Provides Time to Reflect on Our Need to Express Gratitude. For Many Believers, the Time Also Grants an Opportunity to Reflect on God’s Word

Watchman: In the Bible, Thanksgiving The Bible is replete with references to offering thanks. “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name,” is what Psalm 100:4 exhorts believers to do. The act of approaching God with a grateful heart is emphasized in this verse. Furthermore, believers are exhorted to “Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus” in 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18. These verses emphasize the biblical command to always have an attitude of gratitude, no matter what our circumstances may be. Gratitude Outside of Thanksgiving Although Thanksgiving is a unique occasion to spend with family and friends and show gratitude, believers are encouraged by the biblical teaching to practice thankfulness on a daily basis. Gratitude is a comprehensive emotion,…

Certain Academics Maintain That Certain Bible Predictions Have Not and Will Not Come to Pass. That Isn’t the Way the Bible Is; Certain Predictions Haven’t Had Time to Come to Pass. HNewsWire: by Tyler Durden On Monday, Elon Musk’s X sued Media Matters, claiming that the David Brock-founded leftist ‘watchdog’ group manipulated the platform to show major ads next to Nazi imagery, causing a flood of advertisers to leave the platform. “The end result was a feed precision-designed by Media Matters for a single purpose: to produce side-by-side ad/content placements that it could screenshot in an effort to alienate advertisers,” causing “all but one of the companies featured in the Media Matters piece withdrawing all ads from X, including Apple, Comcast, NBCUniversal, and IBM—some of X’s largest advertisers.” The move by Media Matters was a successful attempt to brand Elon…
