Grace reigns in man’s salvation (Rom 5:21) & the God of all grace Who sits upon the throne is sovereign. God told Moses: “I will make all My goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; & will be gracious to whom I will be gracious & will show mercy on whom I will show mercy” (Ex 33:19). The God of all grace dispenses grace according to His goodwill & sovereign pleasure. It isn't dispensed to all without exception, but to all God has…

Man being a sinner by nature, practice, & choice could never make God a debtor. Men are “children of disobedience” (Eph 2:2) & “condemned already” (John 3:18). They are “under sin” (Rom 3:9; Gal. 3:22), “guilty before God” (Rom 3:19), & in “unbelief” (Rom 11:32). There's no possibility of such people putting God under obligation to them.

“Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt. But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness”--Rom 4:4-5. Grace & debt are distinct & different; they are irreconcilable. When a man works for wages, the wages are due him as a debt. But God isn't a debtor to any…

The word of God which is the Holy Bible says in Luke Ch-6 ( V -37,38 ) . Judge not, and ye shell not be judged : condemn not, and ye shell not be condemned : forgive , and ye shell be forgiven. And in Matthew  Ch-7 ( V-2,3, ) .The Lord says judge not , that ye be not judged . For with what judgment ye judge , ye shell be judged : and with what measure ye mete , it shell be measured to you again . And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that…

Grace can't be withheld because of demerit in its object. It would cease to be grace, if God withheld it because of human failure & sin. Grace in salvation can only be exercised by God where worthiness is banished forever. God’s grace saves the chiefest of sinners (I Tim 1:15), the ungodly (Rom 5:6), the enemies of God (Rom 5:10); yea, even those who are “by nature…

God’s grace & man’s works are diametrically opposite & totally irreconcilable. When you add works to grace, then grace changes its meaning; it's no longer grace. The idea of being saved by merit contradicts the very idea of grace. Grace isn't grace unless it is altogether free from human merit. When you hear someone talking about what we do to earn God’s grace, you can mark it down that such…

Abraham Booth (1734-1806), the Baptist theologian, said grace “is the eternal & absolutely free favour of God, manifested in the vouchsafement of spiritual & eternal blessings to the guilty and unworthy” (The Reign of Grace, p. 47). 

Dearly Beloved,

HOW RESPONSIBLE ARE YOU?

"If anyone does not provide for his relatives, and especially for his immediate family, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever" (1 Timothy 5:8 NIV).

In many part of the world, the Fathers' Day celebration for this year will be celebrated this week. While I congratulate all fathers throughout the world, I want to ask each one of us that is a father how responsible we are as…

Blessed are ye that hunger now: for ye shell be filled . Blessed are ye that weep now : for ye shell laugh . Blessed are ye , when men shell hate you , and when they shell separate you from their company ,and shell reproach you , and cast out your name as evil ,  for the Son of man’s sake .  Rejoice ye in that day , and leap for joy : for behold , your reward is great in heaven :  But I say unto you which hear , Love your enemies , do good to them which hate you , Bless them that curse you ,…

James Packer wrote: "The meek are those who know themselves to be poor in spirit, who have learned, honestly and from their hearts, to regret all the dehumanizing and subhuman things in which they have been involved as wanderers in this lost world, and who now in humility want only the will of God."

"The meek man is not a human mouse afflicted with a sense of his own inferiority. Rather he may be in his moral life as bold as a lion & as strong as Samson; but he has stopped being fooled about himself. He has accepted God’s estimate of his own life. He knows he is as weak & helpless as God declared him to be, but paradoxically, he knows at the same time that he is in the sight of God of…

I was thinking about all the great men and women that the Lord has used in extraordinary ministries. I was wondering why many of those who have ministries of miracles, signs and wonders have been through such difficult times or have come from horrendous pasts. The Lord said, this is The Lazarus generation. These are My front line warriors that I have chosen for My end time army.

The Lord says I am calling forth the Lazarus generation. I am calling forth those who have tasted of death…

"Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth." What did Jesus mean? Christians should see sin the way God sees it and should seek to treat it the way He treats it. Those who cover sin or defend sin certainly have the wrong attitude. We should not only mourn over our sins but we should also meekly submit to God. We are often puffed up & prideful like the Pharisee in Luke 18:11:…

"Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the earth." The statement is a part of the "Beatitudes," a portion of the very well-known sermon of Jesus called The Sermon on the Mount. The New American Standard Bible (NASB) takes a little of the edge off by not using the word “gentle” instead of "meek," but not very much. It reads: "Blessed are the gentle, for they shall inherit…

Many Christians have a problem with meekness. We look down upon the Mormons, JWs, Buddhist, Muslim, etc… as if Jesus died only for those who claim to be Christians. If we aren’t others centered in our thinking, we’re not obedient to Christ. Jesus doesn’t want any to perish but many will. Will you have to answer to the judgment for not spreading the Gospel to the non-Christians?…

Sin has so affected us ( Rom . 3:10-11 ) , you and I cannot understand the truth of God unless the Holy Spirit of God reveals it . He is the Teacher . When He teaches you the Word of God , sit before Him and respond to Him . As you pray , watch to see how He uses the Word of God to confirm in your heart a word from God . Watch what He is doing around you in circumstances . The God who is speaking to you as you pray and the God who is speaking to you in the Scriptures is the God who is…

“Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth”--Mt 5:5. When we recognize our sinfulness & mourn over it, we develop meekness or humility. Meekness does not mean thinking less of yourself than of others, nor does it mean having a low opinion of your own gifts. It means freedom from thinking about yourself one way or the other at all. Can we focus on others so that…

When your life is in the middle of God’s activity , He will start rearranging a lot of your thinking . God’s ways and thoughts are so different from yours and mine they will often sound wrong or crazy . You need a readiness to believe God and trust Him completely . You need to believe that what He is doing is best for you . Don’t try to second-guess Him just let Him be God .
