Elder Tim McCool contrasts the king of Sodom who makes of think of the devil and the world with Melchizedek, the king of Salem, the king of righteousness, who points us towards Jesus Christ. Which king do you want to serve? We should seek to serve Jesus Christ, the king of righteousness who loves his […] The post A Tale of Two Kings – Tim McCool appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Bapt...

Elder Buddy Abernathy considers two types of believers and two types of unbelievers, particularly the children of God who have been blinded by the devil lest they should believe the glorious gospel of Christ. Many children of God can get distracted by the temptations of Satan to not believe the true gospel as they ought […] The post The Unbelieving Wayside Child of God – Buddy Abernathy appe...

Elder Tim McCool gives us the picture of the ascent of the ark back to Jerusalem from Psalm 24. That points us towards the true picture of the ark, which was Jesus Christ who was our mercy seat to bring forgiveness for the broken law. As we seek up today unto Mount Zion, we invite […] The post The King of Glory Coming Down – Tim McCool appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church...

Elder Morgan Sims reminds us that what children of God need is the simple truths of the milk of the word of election, predestination, and God’s sovereignty in salvation. In addition, we are especially sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise when we believe in the gospel of our salvation.

In natural creation, we see God’s sovereignty manifested which also shows us of God’s sovereignty in spiritual creation. God did not request the darkness’s permission or consent to impose light upon it. God simply said, let there be light and there was light. The same is true in regeneration: God says let there be light […] The post Let There Be Light appeared first on Clea...

When we are overwhelmed by physical or circumstantial suffering, we might be tempted to become hasty with our words and question where the Lord is at in the midst of this trial. The Lord reminds us he is on his throne, he is in his holy temple, he is still in control of this world […] The post Be Still, Be Silent, and Know That I Am God appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Churc...

We acutely feel Habakkuk’s struggle of being called to wait in the midst of circumstances around him that are painful, burdensome, and ungodly, especially knowing things will be getting worse, not better. We cannot let the suffering of our current circumstances quench our faith and let Satan rob our joy. Those who wait upon the […] The post Yet For An Appointed Time (Waiting in Faith)...

Many Christians can relate to the burden and struggle of Habakkuk. We see evil around us and things seem to be getting worse, not better, and might even feel that God is not listening to our prayers. In considering the problem of evil in this world, we must interpret events around us through the lens […] The post O Lord, How Long? appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

In studying the creation account in Genesis, we see God’s sovereignty in natural creation. This also reveals God’s sovereignty in spiritual creation, as we are made a new creature in the new birth. Man is not cooperative in allowing God to create him in natural creation, and the same is true in spiritual creation. Man […] The post God the Creator appeared first on Clear Springs P...

The Israelites in Egyptian bondage served with great rigor and bondage, and in time, the Pharaoh required the same tale of bricks, but they had to twice the work, with no straw provided. This makes us think of the law, the standard of the law does not change, but our ability to meet that standard […] The post The Tale of the Bricks appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

One of the reasons why Habakkuk is so overwhelmed by the rapid downward spiral of the culture around him is just a few years before, he could remember the “glory days” of the revival led by king Josiah. We go back and consider the characteristics of Josiah’s revival and how he grew in his devotion […] The post Revive Thy Work – Remembering Josiah’s Revival appea...

As we begin a study of the book of Genesis, we begin the standard of God that predated even the creation. There is only one, true, and living God – there is none else. There is no room for none other God, and just like Dagon, all other false gods fall down and are destroyed […] The post One God, There Is None Else appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

Much of the New Testament focuses on an admonition for God’s people, the just, to live by faith. We consider an overview of the book of Habakkuk, where the original verse is quoted from, where the prophet was called to walk by faith even in a culture that was ungodly and would quickly descend into […] The post The Just Shall Live By Faith appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Bapti...

Elder Calvin Warren reminds us of the vital importance of the love of God. We should tell the Lord regularly how much we love him. We need to meditate on the great love wherewith he loved us, which passeth knowledge. We need to have our hearts knit together in love, and show love to each […] The post Behold, What Manner of Love! appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

Jacob lived under the sorrow and misery of believing a lie of Joseph’s death for 22 years. When he found out Joseph was actually alive, he didn’t believe it and his heart fainted. Then, when he saw the wagons, his heart actually revived. The difference between a fainting heart and a revived heart was belief […] The post Seeing the Wagons appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive...

Prayer is the final, seventh component of the armor of God, and our lifeline to heaven to call for reinforcements from the captain of our salvation. Principally, Paul exhorts us to pray for the ministry and to pray for the advancement and growth of God’s kingdom. The kingdom of God should be at the forefront […] The post Prayers for Utterance of the Gospel appeared first on Clear Sprin...

In our warfare against the wiles of the devil, it is vitally important that we put on the whole armor of God to protect us against Satan’s attacks. We consider together the 7 pieces of the armor of God that are mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds and protect us against the […] The post Put on the Whole Armor of God appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Chu...

In conclusion of the gospel of John, we see a statement that if everything that Jesus did just in his 3.5 year ministry would have been written down, the whole world could not contain it. We meditate together on just the glory and works of God that are truly beyond our comprehension and if they […] The post The Incomprehensible Glory of Christ appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptis...

In this world, it is so easy to let the weight and cares of life bring down our spiritual gaze to view life under the sun as vanity and vexation of spirit. We have a lively, living hope in Christ because we have a living, resurrected Savior, but sometimes our hope gets dim and weak, […] The post Saved by Our Lively Hope appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist Church .

While waiting after Jesus’ resurrection, Peter leads a band of disciples to go fishing where Jesus blesses them with an amazing catch. Jesus then allows Peter to confess his love to him three times, to begin the healing process for the three denials just a few weeks before. While Peter is hesitant to commit to […] The post Lovest Thou Me? appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Bapti...

In our pursuit to walk worthy of the Lord’s calling, we have enemies of the devil and the kingdom of darkness that are constantly wrestling against us to try to get us to stumble and fall. Our true enemies are not flesh and blood, not men, but our true enemies are the devil and his […] The post Wrestling Against the Kingdom of Darkness appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist...

In Jesus’ multiple appearances after his resurrection, some people could not see who Jesus was even though he was right in front of them, and others refused to believe by faith, they only wanted to believe by sight and touch. We are called by Jesus as well to believe in him, not by sight, but […] The post Be Not Faithless, But Believing appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist...

The lesson of submitting to each other in the fear of the Lord applied directly to servants and masters in the first century, which most closely aligns with the workplace for Christians today. In our workplace, we need to be respectful and obedient towards our supervisors, and those in leadership need to honor the Lord […] The post Service in Singleness of Heart appeared first on Clear Sprin...

As we consider how we walk worthy of our calling with our families, we consider how parents are called to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

In the gospel of John, we now arrive at the most fundamental fact that separates the truth of Christianity from all the false religions in the world, the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. Because of Christ’s resurrection, he was declared to be the Son of God with power, we were justified before God, […] The post He Is Risen! appeared first on Clear Springs Primitive Baptist C...
