Teaching The Truth

"In the Christian Church, there is a mixture of nominal and real Christians...The false are the careless or indifferent; the self-righteous or sentimental; the hollow-hearted or hypocritical. The true are penitents, believers, new creatures...The Head of the Church knows the true character of all its members...The Head of the Church will separate the precious from the vile..." (The Biblical Illust...

"No man needs a window in his breast for God to look in at; every man before God is all window." (John Trapp's Commentary) There is a message that the Lord JESUS wanted all the churches to know in the Apostle John's day. It is the same message for the churches of today. It is JESUS' name or title as being - "I am He Which searcheth the reins and hearts." He "searcheth all hearts." Therefore, you c...

"In the time of temporal trouble or of spiritual conflict; how apt we are to look elsewhere than to God! But we look in vain!" (Preacher's Homiletic Commentary) In this broadcast, we will look at five (5) points depicting God as an incomparable God. Our purpose in doing so is to build your faith so that when troubles arise, when heartache and distress comes your way, you will have no doubt Who to...

"Though the wickedness of the wicked may prosper for a while, yet God is a holy God, and does not approve of that wickedness." (Matthew Henry) How important is God's Holiness to you? When was the last time you heard a message on this subject? Can you find comfort in God's Holiness? Has the Church lost her true sense of God's Holiness?

"In every age, the Church of God has to drive out her spiritual Amorites - Unbelief, Ungodliness, Heresy, Idolatry, the setting up of man's inventions and forms in the place of the pure truth of God; and unless she is diligent and bold, these enemies will beleaguer her and infest her, and will at length drive her out of her inheritance." (The Preacher's Homiletic Commentary) Tolerance of evil from...

"Common sense teaches that rebellion against Omnipotence is both insanity and blasphemy." (The Biblical Illustrator) Submit yourself to God! When you do, it can be said that the "government" of your life is truly upon "His shoulder."

"...When God plagued the Egyptians, it was to make them know that He is the Lord; when He provided for the Israelites, it was to make them know that He was their God." (John Wesley's Notes On The Bible)

"There is only one way of proving to ourselves that we know God, and that is by loving obedience to His will." "There is no real knowledge of God, no fellowship with Him, without practical conformity to His will." (The Preacher's Homiletic Commentary) We are living in a time when True Christianity is being distorted to fit the lusts of the people. So many are claiming to be Christians, when in all...

"Knowledge of God is of little value if it does not lead to obedience." (The Preacher's Homiletic Commentary) Do you truly know the Lord? Or are you like Israel in that you have "cast off the thing that is good" - you have "cast off" His influence in your life? In the day of trouble, be sure that you are not found to be the 1) Heartless Professor, 2) Distracted Professor, 3) False Professor, or 4)...

"What is the great aim and destiny of my being? Why was I ever born? Why am I preserved to this day? Why am I redeemed? Why am I furnished with all my powers and capabilities? Is it for time, or for eternity? Whether it be for time or for eternity, what is the focus of my being? - its sources, its essence, its design, its resting-place! My Creator, my God. To know Him as my Beloved...that is man's...

"None but the Creator can give a man a new heart, the change is too radical for any other hand. It would be hard to give a new eye, or a new arm, but a new heart is still more out of the question. The Lord Himself must do it." (The Biblical Illustrator)

"A man may be ignorant of mathematics, astronomy, and geology, without suffering much; but to be ignorant of God, the chief and highest good, is to rob ourselves of happiness and expose ourselves to death." (Preacher's Homiletic Commentary)

"'The knowledge of God in the land' is essential to the well-being of a nation. Where God is unknown, where men live without God in the world, where His knowledge is suffered to lapse, and the rising generation are trained with no fear of God before their eyes - their vice and crime will be rampant and unchecked, and there will be no guarantee for social order and peace." (The Pulpit Commentary)

"The command is one sorely needed in the present state of our average Christianity. Our churches are full of monsters, specimens of arrested growth, dwarfs, who have scarcely grown since they were babes, infants all their lives. I come to you with a very plain question: Have you any more of Christ's beauty in your characters, any more of His grace in your hearts, any more of His truth in your mind...

Is this your hope and purpose in life - to abide in God and to abide in the fullness of His Spirit - so that His power and goodness might be clearly manifested in your life - so that the next generation will be inspired to seek earnestly God's kingdom and His righteousness? Do you realize that - however old or young you are - as a disciple of Christ - you owe a debt to the succeeding generations?...

"There is nothing in this world greater than the Most High. He deserves our deepest loyalty and most fervent praise." ( The Names Of God ) Are you facing a battle right now? Are you in a warfare with the enemy of your soul? Then do as David did and resolve to "cry unto God." Appeal to His character. Address Him as "God Most High" - El Elyon - and as the "God Who performeth all things for you." Thi...

"The more our troubles are multiplied, the more earnest and importunate should we be in our prayers. God loves to have us bring before His throne all our sorrows, perplexities, and dangers." (Family Bible Notes) It is important you understand that trouble is a common experience. It may be expected by all. That is not something to despair of. God has an answer for it. It is in your trouble that He...

"If there were no creature, no instruction in the world to help, yet would you not be at a loss in time of need, for He that is on the throne could do it alone. He can do all that ever you need, without any means or instruments. His bare word is sufficient, all sufficient for it, whatever it be, how great, how difficult, how impossible soever it seems." ( The Treasury Of David ) Perhaps at this po...

"Let us not trust to the broken walls of our own strength or think to lurk under the tottering hedge of our own wealth, or wind-shaken reeds of our unconstant friends; but fly to God, that He may stretch His wings over us, as the cherubim did over the mercy-seat." (The Preacher's Homiletic Commentary) Mercy is calling you to fly to God that He may stretch His wings over you! Do you hear the call?

"How small is the number of those who keep their affections fixed on God alone!...The saints look more at God than at all that is God's. They say...we desire not Thine, but Thee, or nothing of Thine like Thee." (Treasury Of David) Is this true of the present-day saints? Is this true of you? Are you looking more at God than at all that is God's? Are you truly saying, "I desire not what You have but...

"How much it is more worth than ten thousand mines of gold, to be able to say, God is mine!" (The Treasury Of David) Are you facing insurmountable odds? Is your enemy too strong for you? Have situations become totally out of control? Go before God and plead the covenant. Go to God in prayer, addressing Him as - "My God"! You will get His attention! He will hear your cry and give you the answer you...

What are you facing today? What kind of experience are you encountering? In the midst of it all, look for God! Let faith arise! Let your confidence in God arise! You have the same spirit of faith as David and Paul. You believe, therefore speak! In the midst of your pain, sorrow, heartache, tragedy, misfortune, etc., declare for all to hear - "I will say of the LORD..."

In the day of trouble, mankind needs to see the Greatness of God. In our generation, it is imperative that mankind sees God's Greatness for, in doing so, they will come to realize their need to commit their all to Him.

As a Christian, are you free? Are you walking in freedom? In John 8:36, Jesus said - "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed." Sad but true, there are many Christians who are not walking in the freedom Jesus died to give! They cannot say that they are "free indeed"! What about you?
