O WHAT A WRETCHED THING THIS FLESH IS!
O wretched man that I am! Who shall deliver me from the body of this death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. (Romans 7:24, 25) For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. (Galatians 5:17)
Oh what a wretched thing this flesh is! It is the residence of corruption, unbelief, hate, deceit, and every other evil known to man. Who would want such neighbors living next to them? Yet, these vile tenants are not mere neighbors to the believer. No, they are much closer than mere neighbors: they occupy the same duplex. The believer is of two natures joined into one person: flesh and spirit. Spiritually, he is a new man, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. But he still possesses the same flesh he was born with, and the same “people” live there.
These occupants of the fleshly side of our “duplex” are not considerate at all, having no respect whatsoever for the occupants of the spiritual side of the duplex. No sooner does the spirit mow the grass and w**d the flower bed than the flesh dumps a bag of stinking garbage on the lawn. No sooner does the spirit sit down for an evening of quiet reflection and prayer than the flesh will throw a party, turning up the stereo of vile thoughts. Neither side of the duplex will ever find full satisfaction, nor will there be any compromise. It will be a constant state of war for as long as the believer lives in this flesh.
No wonder Paul wrote, “O, wretched man that I am.” Thanks to God through Christ, He shall someday throw out the occupants on the other side, knock down the wall that separates the two sides, and the fruit of the Spirit, the occupants of the believer’s soul, shall reside in BOTH sides, in one harmonious household! – Joe Terrell

DOUBLE MINDED MAN
James tells us, “The double minded man is unstable in all of his ways.” Who is this double minded man? The word means literally, “two sided.” It signifies divided interests. The double minded man seeks to trust Christ and himself. He believes grace and works. He seeks to be justified by Christ’s righteousness combined with his own. He looks to Christ and himself for sanctification. He attempts to serve the Lord and himself. He keeps one foot in the world and the other in heaven.
James tells us that this man will receive NOTHING from the Lord and is unstable in all of his ways. If you start in the wrong direction, you will end up in the wrong place. What should the double minded man do? Become a one-minded man! The place to begin is to look to Christ ONLY. If the double-minded man becomes singular in the object of faith, everything else will follow suit. – Todd Nibert

THE BLANKET OF GRACE!
“And he said, Who are thou? And she answered, I am Ruth thine handmaid: spread therefore thy skirt over thine handmaid; for thou are a near kinsman.” (Ruth 3:9)
The skirt of God’s grace is a blanket of goodness and mercy to a sinner in need. Job said: “Naked came I into this world and naked shall I return.” Every sinner will stand before God! All those outside of his grace will stand there naked, destitute, and rejected! But every sinner who receives the blanket of grace (and that blanket is the Blood of the Lord Jesus Christ himself) will stand there covered, secure, and accepted! – Gabe Stalnaker

“My times are in thy hand” Psalm 31:15 ‘My times’. They change and vary from day to day, but they change only in accordance with his unchanging love. They vary, but only according to the purpose of him in whom there is no variableness or shadow of turning. ‘My times’, that is to say, my ups and my downs, my health and my sickness, my prosperity and my adversity, my wealth and my poverty, my happiness and my sorrow ⎯ all of these are in the hands of my Lord and Redeemer, who arranges and appoints the length of my days and the darkness of my nights according to his wise and holy will. My times of refreshing and my times of depressing are in the hands of my God and Savior and I am glad that it is so.
‘My times’⎯ all of them, in the beginning of life, in the course of life and in the end of life, ‘are in thy hand’. The close of my life is no more at the disposal of fate, or chance, or Satan than the beginning of my life. My life will not close until the hand of my Father’s love closes it. I shall not die before my time and I shall not be forgotten and left on the stage of time too long. I want you to get the sense of this: not only are we in the hand of the Lord but everything that surrounds us is in his hand. All the people, things and events which make up the environment of our existence are in, the hand of our God. Child of God, this should bring comfort and joy to your heart. We dwell in the palm of God’s hand! We are absolutely at his disposal. And everything that concerns us is arranged by his hand. May the Lord graciously enable us to enter into the peaceful realization of his good providence! ‘Cast all your care upon him, for he careth for you.’ It is written: ‘Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength.’ Rock of Ages, cleft for me, Let me hide myself in thee! - Don Fortner
***********************************************************************

During an epidemic of cholera, I remember being called up, at dead of night, to pray with a dying person. He had spent the Sabbath in going out upon an excursion, and at three on Monday morning I was standing by his bed. There was no Bible in the house, and he had often ridiculed the preacher; but before his senses left him he begged his servant to send for me. What could I do? He was unconscious; and there I stood, musing sadly upon the wretched condition of a man who had wickedly refused Christ, and yet superstitiously fled to his minister. - C.H. Spurgeon
***********************************************************************

CHARLES VINCE (1800's)
(Romans 5:20) "Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound."

(1) Sin contracts no guilt that grace does not more than remove.
(2) Sin deforms no beauty that grace does not more than renew.
(3) Sin loses no blessedness that grace does not more than restore.

GOD IS FAITHFUL
Jeremiah wrote, “Great is THY faithfulness.” We preach and exhort our hearers to be faithful stewards of the grace of God, faithful givers to help others, faithful in worship, prayer, and holiness. And we will be faithful by His grace and because He has given us a new heart which desires to walk with Him. But even when we fail, fall, and make a mess of things, HE IS FAITHFUL; and our hope of life and glory is not in OUR faithfulness but in HIS faithfulness. God is faithful to His Son, to His covenant, to His Word. And this was David’s comfort when he lay dying –not in his works, service, nor even his faith, but in God’s faithfulness to His covenant (2 Samuel 23:5) - Henry Mahan

GOD WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE
I'm truly sorry for people who are being lied to by preachers who compromise the truth of God, speak smooth things, brag on the flesh, make God a doddering old grandfather and the Lord Jesus Christ a failing, fumbling, faltering pretender who sure does wish that everybody liked Him. Here is where we are today. A true preacher can tell the people who God is, and that the Lord Jesus Christ is not an option but a necessity, and that as God He is the sovereign of all and will either save or destroy forever. The oily preacher comes along and tells the sinner that his will is supreme and God can't unless he allows him.
Yet in spite of this, the Lord Jesus WILL SAVE HIS PEOPLE (Matt. 1:21)! How do I know this? Because the Bible tells me so. Those who believe and teach that Christ died for every man teach contrary to the very character and nature of God Almighty. If Christ died for all men, where is the justice of God? The scriptures say, 'The Lord laid on Him the iniquity of us all, He was wounded for our transgressions" (Isa. 53:4-6). If God laid on Christ all the sin of all men, and the punishment of them inflicted on Christ, yet multitudes of them are punished in hell for them, where is the justice of God? Men say it is unjust to punish for the same crime twice. Would God be just to punish Christ for a man's sins, then punish the man, too (Rom. 3:24-26)? If a man pays another's debt, the creditor would not be just to require payment of the debtor. God is just; if Christ paid for my sin or yours by His death, God cannot send me or anyone else to hell for which Christ died.
To believe that Christ died for all men is contrary to the POWER OF GOD. "The Lord's hand is not shortened that it cannot save" (Isa. 59:1). "Power belongeth unto Thee" (Psalm 62:11). If all men are not saved, it must be from a want of WILL in God or from want of POWER. They say He wills that all men be saved, so it must be from a lack of power. If that is so, He is not omnipotent! He must be lying when He says He "has all power in Heaven and earth." You will say, it is because they won't let God save them; is man mightier than his maker? "Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherds strive with the potsherds of the earth." (Isa. 45:9)
I can say without a doubt that all for whom Christ died for will be saved, because of the love, wisdom, justice and power of God. - Pastor
**************************

"I am the way, the truth, and the life" John 14:6 Some 'wise men' may seek and devise a 'Theory for Everything' and leave themselves and their followers with no hope beyond the short span of their lives on this globe... and then the grave... But Jesus said "I am the way, the TRUTH, and the life". Follow a theory if you will, but better to follow the Truth. "And as Jesus passed forth from thence, he saw a man, named Matthew, sitting at the receipt of custom: and he saith unto him, Follow me. And he arose, and followed him." - Ian Potts
**************************

Through the preaching of the Gospel God gathers and unites His people together as One Body in Christ , as a pool of light separated from, divided from, the darkness of the world around them. The Adversary, however, constantly seeks to do the opposite. He loves to keep God's people united with the world, and with the world's religion, and divided from one another, and from the truth. So may God give us grace to recognise what is the rightful separation of light from darkness, of truth from error, of the Body of Christ from the world, and what is the true unity of the saints in the Gospel of God's Son, the Lord Jesus Christ... and to stand fast therein. - Ian Potts
**************************

IT’S ALL GOOD
Let the world think they can turn bad into good by the “power of positive thinking” when they say, “it’s all good”.
It is their way of whistling through the graveyard. For the child of God, it truly is ALL good. Not because we are looking for a silver lining on every cloud. But because we know that every cloud our Lord sends brings with it the showers of His mercy and grace. In our Lord’s loving providence, there are hard days and easier days. But there are no bad days. He works all things together for good to them that love Him, to them that are the called according to His purpose. - Greg Elmquist
