The Least Of These - His Love Ministries

Send us Fan Mail  Hi, I’m Marty McKenzie with His Love Ministries in John 8:32 and Romans 6 and As we read through the rest of the Bible we find that it tells us that if we are not saved, we are a slave to sin, a slave to the devil, and in bondage to fear.  Now if we talk to most people they seem to think they are alright with God, they aren’t really that bad a person, they try to keep the ten com...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 10:9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 9 that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will...

Send us Fan Mail I don’t know why most people think you can be saved by being good enough, doing more good than bad, and by keeping the 10 commandments or just believing that Jesus existed, but the law was only given to show us that we can never be good enough on her own that’s why we need Jesus Christ. I don’t know how that lie got started and I even believed that at one time.  Even when I go to...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 10:5 For Moses writes about the righteousness which is of the law, "The man who does those things shall live by them."  6 But the righteousness of faith speaks in this way, "Do not say in your heart, 'Who will ascend into heaven?'" (that is, to bring Christ down from above) 7 or," 'Who will descend into the abyss?'" (that is...

Send us Fan Mail I believe we could apply Daniel 9:18-19 like this. "O my God, incline Your ear and hear; open Your eyes and see our desolations, and the church which is called by Your name; for we do not present our supplications before You because of our righteous deeds, but because of Your great mercies.19 "O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, listen and act! Do not delay for Your o...

Send us Fan Mail ROMANS 10:1-4  ISRAEL'S REFUSAL OF GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS Romans 10:1 Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved. 2 For I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge. 3 For they being ignorant of God's righteousness, and seeking to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted to t...

Send us Fan Mail In Mt 6:33 Jesus said, But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. Many of us are trying to be satisfied and get what we want and think we need through the world’s methods.  Yet we are in constant need and are never satisfied because we are going about life the wrong way. The principle Jesus gave us is that if we will...

Send us Fan Mail III. THE BASIS OF GOD'S CHOICE:  FAITH vs. NO FAITH (30-33) GOD’S ACTIONS ARE CONSISTENT WITH HIS REDEMPTIVE PLAN VERSES 30-33       1. Though they had not actively been looking for it ( 30a )       2. Yet many have attained righteousness through faith ( 30b ) A.   FOR THE GENTILES (30)   Once again Paul asked his familiar rhetorical question, What then shall we say? (cf. 4:1...

Send us Fan Mail In Romans 10:6-7 Paul says some are asking who will bring Christ down from above or descend into the grave, to bring Him up so they can be saved. They did not believe Christ came to earth and was resurrected. The way of salvation is not difficult or complicated. We do not have to go to heaven to find Christ, or into the world of the dead. He is near to us. He says the Gospel is av...

Here is my testimony about...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 9:24 even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?  25 ¶ As He says also in Hosea: "I will call them My people, who were not My people, And her beloved, who was not beloved." 26 "And it shall come to pass in the place where it was said to them, 'You are not My people,' There they shall be called sons of the living God.&quot...

Send us Fan Mail If we are not happy about our leaders, instead of complaining why don't we pray for them as the Bible says do so that God can do something about it, because we for sure cannot change things on our own. 1Ti 2:1-4 Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, 2 for kings and all who are in authority, that w...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 9:19 You will say to me then, "Why does He still find fault? For who has resisted His will?" 20 But indeed, O man, who are you to reply against God? Will the thing formed say to him who formed it, "Why have you made me like this?" 21 Does not the potter have power over the clay, from the same lump to make one vessel for honor and another for dishonor? 22...

Send us Fan Mail The long painful history of the Church is God’s people ever and again being tempted to choose power over love, control over the cross, being a leader over being led. Instead we should heed Ps 37:3-6 Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 9:14 What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God? Certainly not!  15 For He says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whomever I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whomever I will have compassion." 16 So then it is not of him who wills, nor of him who runs, but of God who shows mercy. 17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very p...

Send us Fan Mail As Christians, so many times we see so much injustice and wonder when it all will end.  Romans 12:18-21 says If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men. 19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, "Vengeance is Mine, I will repay," says the Lord. 20 Therefore "If your enemy is hungry, feed h...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 9:7 nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, "In Isaac your seed shall be called." 8 That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed. 9 For this is the word of promise: "At this time I will come and Sarah shall have a son." 10 And not...

Send us Fan Mail This is Marty McKenzie with His Love Ministries. A mind is a terrible thing to put waste in, I’m talking about trash, garbage.  You wouldn’t go to the garbage dump, and bring it home to put in your refrigerator would you?  Well, that’s what we do every time we let the world’s trash enter our mind.  If you put Garbage in, you get Garbage out. We don’t let them teach us what to beli...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 9:6 But it is not that the word of God has taken no effect. For they are not all Israel who are of Israel. THE TRUE CHILDREN OF GOD (6-29) A.   ARE CHILDREN OF PROMISE, NOT CHILDREN OF FLESH (6-13) Paul's train of thought unfolds as follows in these verses. Because God's election of Israel did not depend on natural descent (vv. 6-10) or human merit (vv. 11-14), Is...

Send us Fan Mail In Philippians 4:1 Paul tells us to stand firm in the Lord. Are you spiritually stable?  Or are you like the double minded man in James 1 and Eph 4:14 who doesn’t know what he believes and is tossed to and fro by every wind of doctrine? The Bible tells us in 2Pe 3:18 to grow in the grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus Christ. So how can you stand firm in shaky times.  You need to...

Send us Fan Mail 1.    the receiving of the Law (Deut. 5:1–22),  This would refer to (1) Moses’ receiving the Law on Mt. Sinai (cf. Exod. 19–20) One of the chief criticisms of Paul by his Jewish countrymen seems to have been his alleged disregard for the law, since he taught that salvation was by grace through the atoning work of Christ and not by law-keeping.  However, Paul does not discount the...

Send us Fan Mail In 1Tim. 5:18, it says 'The laborer is worthy of his wages'".  During economic downturns I believe that God is testing His people to see what they are going to do with His Money.  I know many churches and ministries have suffered a lack of funding and had to cut staff and mission opportunities.  In the U. S. our poorest have more than 90% of the world, so why are we...

Amen.     So immediately after having expressed his great love for his people, he writes two sentences that expla...

Send us Fan Mail In life it is not how much money we have, how big our house is, not how many friends we have, how great our kids are, the number of degrees we possess, and it’s not the job that we have that matters.
