BETTER The key word in the book of Hebrews is “better” (1:4; 6:9; 7:7, 19, 22; 8:6; 9:23; 10:34; 11:16, 35, 40; 12:24). One purpose of this book is to show use that Christ is “better” than all who came before him. He is better than the prophets, better than the angels, better than Moses, […]
SAFE IN HIS HANDS “His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me” – Song of Solomon 2:6. Our salvation in Christ is sure, safe and certain as the powerful hands of God (Dan. 4:35; John 10:27-30). Believer, you are in good hands with Christ, being made one with Him […]
UNABLE TO RESIST Acts 6:9, 10 What a comfort to believers! They were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which Stephen spake. First, that which Stephen spake was the gospel of Christ. The apostle Paul was among these men who were silenced by Stephen. Perhaps when Paul was speaking to Titus […]
And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it. (Isaiah 40.5). There can be no sweeter sight to the eye of the child of God than to see His Savior glorified in the sight of all flesh. To the […]
What Religious Folks Really Hate Acts 6: 11-14. 1. They said that he speaks blasphemy against Moses. It is unheard of in scripture to blaspheme a man, only God can be blasphemed. But that was the problem. Their devotion to a dead prophet proved they hated the Lord whom Moses loved. They would have stoned […]
AND THE WORD OF GOD INCREASED Acts 6:1: And in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplied, there arose a murmuring of the Grecians against the Hebrews, because their widows were neglected in the daily ministration. 2: Then the twelve called the multitude of the disciples unto them, and said, It is […]
Lord make us to see our need The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: the grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass (Isa. […]
Christ Comes First Todd Nibert Christ said, “All that ever came before Me are thieves and robbers (John 10:8).” Obviously, anybody coming before Him who claimed to be the Messiah was a thief and robber. But He also means that anything that comes before Him in any aspect of salvation is a thief and robber. […]
There are many tyrants! (Henry Law, “Leviticus”) “If the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed.” John 8:36. Each soul, apart from Jesus, is a poor slave. There are many tyrants, and their yoke is hard. SATAN enchains the heart, and drags His vassals to vile service. They have no will; no […]
Numerous churches would describe themselves as “Christ centered”, and many preachers would describe their preaching as “Christ centered preaching”. While on the surface this may seem like a good thing, in reality it is not. The statement implies that Christ is the focus, and everything else takes a backseat to Christ. But that is not […]
