Hebrews 2:5-6 ( MSG ) 5.God didn't put angels in charge of this business of salvation that we're dealing with here. 6.It says in Scripture, What is man and woman that you bother with them; why take a second look their way?. Man disobeyed God and fell out of God's original plan. But God, being so mindful, kind and merciful, provided a means of reconciliation for man to reconcile back to Him ; The Salvation Project. "This is how much God loved the world: He gave his Son, his one and only Son. And this is why: so that no one need be destroyed; by believing in him, anyone can have a whole and lasting life"  John 3:16 The Salvation Project is a planned endeavor by God with the goal of delivering man from sin and eternal damnation; giving man a new life. This was accomplished by the death of Christ Jesus. "It's obvious, of course, that he didn't go to all this trouble for angels. It was for people like us, children of Abraham." Hebrews 2:16. You...

Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive be delivered? (Isaiah 49:24) It is one thing to be a prey, it is another for your predator to be mighty. Every prey always quietly prays that he be delivered, but when in the hands of a might, that hope vanishes. In like manner some captivities as abduction and kidnapping are unlawful, so you have hope of the state and federation backing you up for your release; but when your captivity is lawful, such hope vanishes. Today’s scripture brings a vivid scenario of hopeless situations. The answer to the question posed by the passage is for whoever is in this situation to write a will as soon as possible, and prepare to die. No matter how you must have answered the question of that hopeless situation, you need to sit back now and listen attentively for what God has to say: But thus saith the LORD, even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: (Isaiah 49:25a) Hallelu...

2 Timothy 4:3-5 (MSG) You’re going to find that there will be times when people will have no stomach for solid teaching, but will fill up on spiritual junk food—catchy opinions that tickle their fancy. They’ll turn their backs on truth and chase mirages. But you— keep your eye on what you’re doing; accept the hard times along with the good; keep the Message alive; do a thorough job as God’s servant. We are urged to refrain from sexual immorality, false teachings, envy, jealousy, hatred, greed and other sinful nature that is contrary to fulfilling the task set before us. We ought to set our eyes on the goal and avoid chasing mirages. We should live Godly lives , keep the message of God alive and be a thorough Christian. Philippians 3:12-14 (MSG) I’m not saying that I have this all together, that I have it made. But I am well on my way, reaching out for Christ, who has so wondrously reached out for me. Friends, don’t get me wrong: By no...

And Jesus answered them, saying, “The hour is come that the son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily I say unto you, except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone; but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit…” (John 12:23-24). Here we see our LORD illustrating the pathway to glory though the life cycle of a seed. It is one of the wonders of the world how a seed becomes a plant, especially when scientific investigations have shown that when the seed is buried, it actually dies and decays. Yet if it does not die, it will not become a tree, it will remain a seed. The characteristics of a tree are genetically embedded in its seed. Because straight is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. (Matt 7:14) This description once again is illustrating the way to life which everyone naturally wants to partake from, unfortunately, it doesn’t come on a platter of gold, and the easier way which ...
