Grace, Peace & Deliverance (1)

13 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

Do we understand as we should, the terrific battle, the great controversy, taking place right now? Do we see things as God sees? Sadly many men and women are walking in darkness, blindly journeying in paths of ease and sinful pleasure, ignorant, of reality. Reality: " The world or the state of things as they actually exist " Do we understand things as they " actually exist "? Do we unflinchingly face every Bible truth, and by the grace of God, meet the conditions, living by every word?...

Ye are not Your Own

13 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

The phrase Ye are not your own" (1 Corinthians 6:19) keeps resounding in my mind. Do we understand what this means? Have we applied this verse by faith, into our life? Or are we living for our own selfish desires? A little boy once built a wooden boat and set it a-sail on the nearby lake. How that boat was his pride and joy! How much he loved to watch the wind catch the sails and make the boat skip. But by and by, the wind took the boat out of the boy's reach and it drifted off across the l...

To be a missionary in some faraway land or even right in your home country perhaps? Many plans are laid to accomplish great things but somehow......

Those that Seek Me Early

14 years ago by Rebekah Robinson

B—e—e—p B—e—e—p B—e—e—p screeched the alarm clock. Oh, how loud it was, and what a rude awakening to such a sweet sleep! I quickly shut the annoying alarm clock off and then settled down a little more comfortably under the covers while I seriously thought about going back to sleep. The night seemed far too short, and the bed was awfully cozy. After all, it was still dark outside, but in the quiet stillness of the morning the last part of Prov...

Great Wisdom in Unity

14 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

Do you sometimes wonder why so much tension, and strife exist in people around you? Our enemy, Satan, is constantly at work trying to drive men and women apart. He seeks to get us so busy warring amongst ourselves or simply turning the cold shoulder to each other that our hearts become hardened to soft voice of God. In this warfare to bring disharmony and discord among God's people, Satan is waging all his efforts against one thing in particular. But before we go any farther, let'...

The Exceeding Wise Cony

14 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

There are so many wonderful lessons to be learned in the study of God's creation. All nature speaks of the love of it's Creator.

14 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

Would you like to be exceeding wise? Would you like to be able to discern what is best and most important in your life? Take a moment to consider just what we mean by wisdom... " If wisdom is to be considered as a faculty of the mind, it is the faculty of discerning or judging what is most just, proper and useful, and if it is to be considered as an acquirement, it is the knowledge and use of what is best, most just, most proper, most conducive to prosperity or happiness.

Living with Purpose

... And great earthquakes shall be in divers places ... - Luke 21:11 In a span of two days, there were more than 20 earthquake after-shocks all greater than 6.0 magnitude rocking the country of Japan. Started by a massive 8.8 magnitude quake. Is there a Christian who's heart doesn't beat with quickened pace as he sees the increasing severity and frequency of these calamities? Right now, this world is going through birth-pains... the end is nearing. We are coming to a crisis, yes th...

A Photograph of God

14 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

Impossible, I hear you say! However, think again, and read on. Imagine we take a photograph of a beautiful rose, and we print out a large-size poster of this flower. Does the picture bear all the details of the subject, in this case, the rose? Yes, of course! It bears every detail of the rose, and it's very easy to see, at just a glance what the picture is of. However, it's really just an image of the original isn't it? We can't say that the picture is the actual rose, no of course not! But t...

A Real Christian

14 years ago

We are incomplete without Christ. Our greatest need in life is Jesus Christ. But, what do we have to do to be a Christian? A pastor once put it like this: "Being a real Christian means more than changing one's clothes or even being baptized. It means more than having one's name entered in the church books or holding a high office in the church. It means more than giving bundles of money to worthy causes. It means more than writing great books about Jesus or preaching inspiring sermons about...
