Biblical Truth for Today with Dr. Rod Butterworth

God has a definite way for His people to live each day of their lives. By believing it and seeking it, we will find it.

God desires a very close intimate fellowship with each of His children. It is available to all who will seek Him earnestly.

Jesus is the bread of life. We must learn to feed on Him.

The basic message from Psalm 78 is that obedience to God brings blessing, and disobedience deprives us from blessing. This principle also carries over the the New Testament.

God is always ready to do His part, and we, likewise, must be ready and willing to do our part. We must stay true to our birthright.

This amazing prophetic chapter reveals God's plan of redemption through the suffering of Jesus when He was crucified. Prophesied hundreds of years before the event, it confirms the absolute reliability and evidence for the supernatural inspiration of the Bible. It truly is God's Word.

Romans chapter eight reveals why the world is why it is today, and what we, especially, believers, can expect according to God's promises.

We must be extremely careful how we use God's amazing gift of free will and choice. Eternal destiny is determined by the use of this gift.

These psalms remind us that God is in control, of the earth He created, and the nations, plus His plan for each of us individually.

Nothing is more interesting than searching the Scriptures to attain the truth. This particular teaching may surprise some who are not thoroughly familiar with the Bible. All that Jesus did He did for us, no less than giving His blood for our eternal salvation, and sealing it forever in the heavenly tabernacle.

God has a unique plan for each of His children. If we follow His plan for daily spiritual food through the Word of God and prayer, the answer is certain to come.

The great privilege Christians have is to communicate with the creator of the universe. Jesus makes this possible for those who believe.

Personalizing Old Testament scriptures is a way of gleaning from the Word of God that which will bring spiritual personal enrichment.

The best plan to follow for ministry must be the one taught and demonstrated by Jesus and His disciples. It is ministry with the power and demonstration of the Holy Spirit.

I think of missionary Jim Elliot's saying: "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose." Nothing in this life can be worth more than saving our souls.

The full counsel of God's Word includes powerful preaching and powerful empirical evidence according to scriptural teaching and promises.

We can expect the supernatural today through faith in Jesus, who will work in us and through us as we believe in Him.

Obeying Jesus to pray will keep us in right  relationship with Him no matter what happens.

Listening to the Word of God is a way to increase our intimate relationship with the Lord.

The presence of the Lord in and through us, should provide the power we need to be effective witnesses for the Lord.

The amazing secret that was hidden until New Testament truth, that Christ lives within the heart of every believer.

We need to understand that we are three-part-beings made up of spirit, soul, and body. It is the spirit part of our being that receives the presence of the Lord in our hearts when we receive Jesus as our Lord and Savior.

How wonderful that as Christians we can experience peace and calm in the midst of outward calamity. Our intimate relationship with God will carry us through.

God wants the most intimate relationship with us that is possible. This will happen depending on how much we seek His face. The possibilities are incredible.

I have often said, "Nothing of lasting eternal value can ever be accomplished without the foundation of prayer." Jesus is our example.
