14 years ago by Emmanuel Higgins

" Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ " - Galatians 1:3 Praise God for His grace! For His unlimited power to save mankind from the ruin of sin. However is there a connection between grace and peace? If so, what is it? Let's allow the Bible to interpret itself. In Mark chapter 4, we find the disciples of Jesus in a ship on the sea of Galilee. Jesus is with them as they cross over. Let's pick it up in verse 37. " And there aros...

Grace, Peace & Deliverance (1)

14 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

14 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...

Those that Seek Me Early

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'...

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...
