Studying the Word of God

STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD

Those of us who are addicted to the Word realise perhaps more than others, how so much in the Scriptures is very deep. We find it a constant delight to plumb unfathomable depths, to mine for hid treasures buried in places unexplored by mere human wisdom; indeed inexplicable to the unbeliever. These exercises prompted by the Holy Spirit are of precious profit to our spiritual welfare and growth; furnishing us with meditations so sweet as to draw out our worship permeated with sweet smelling fragrances of Christ, and securing Divine approval.

While we must never succumb to "scratching the surface" in our studies, we must not neglect or over-look those gems that lie upon the surface; they too yield food for the soul of the believer.

Permit me to suggest a simple example to direct you as to what I mean. How valuable are the "Headings" to the Psalms! They are an integral part of the Word, but how often we fail to read them when we turn to the Psalter!

You will understand that I am NOT advocating superficial reading, or study of the "BOOK," only reminding your hearts of the necessity to consider the more obvious lines of truth, as well as penetrating to its fathomless profundity.



Love For Divine Persons: A Poem

LOVE FOR DIVINE PERSONS

A POEM

Father, we Thy Son adore,

We will love Him evermore-

When to the blessed "place" we soar,

There in all His grace secure.

Jesus we would worship Thee,

For Thy death on Calvary,

There Thy love we fully see,

Love "told out" upon the "Tree."

The Spirit of the Lord we love,

Divinest Teacher from above-

Who within our hearts hast wove

Thy Word, an o'erwhelming treasure trove. 

TW December 2015.

Brethren and sisters please forgive the simplicity and irregular cadence; it was written in a few minutes one morning as I was about to enter the "Sanctuary" of the Lords' presence.



Evolution--The Hopeless Hypothesis

EVOLUTION-THE HOPELESS HYPOTHESIS

Evolution is nothing more than a hopeless hypothesis-a gigantic guess! Perhaps the very reason that it is constantly referred to as The Theory of Evolution, an admission that it is NOT a Fact! A theory is a supposition; a generalisation explaining phenomena as the results of ASSUMED natural causes; a Speculative IDEA of something; mere hypothesis.

An hypothesis is a proposition assumed for the purpose of argument; a theory assumed to account for something not understood; a mere SUPPOSITION or ASSUMPTION!
Indeed, evolution is a theory devised, promulgated and promoted by men with satanically-blinded minds, groping about in the moral darkness of unbelief.
Furthermore, evolution is unscriptural, unscientific and unsubstantiated. It is nothing more or less than a lie of the devil.
The very first verse of the O.T. Scriptures obliterates this abominable fabrication styled "The Theory of Evolution." I quote from the Word of God referred to:
"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." Genesis 1:1.  For the believer, this in itself should be sufficient to enable us to unequivocally reject evolution in any and every form.
But although unnecessary I would add further Scriptures: "The FIRST MAN ADAM became a living soul; the LAST ADAM a quickening (life-giving) spirit."
Thus there was no order of man (mankind) BEFORE Adam; neither will there be another federal head of mankind AFTER the "LAST ADAM," that is Christ!
I continue: "The FIRST MAN out of the earth, made of dust;" proof of the genesis account of the creation of man. "The SECOND MAN, out of heaven." A second, a different "order" of man; for Christ who is spoken of here, was the only One impeccable in His humanity, that is One untainted by the "fall," i.e. sin, and One unable to sin. Now every believer in Him is of that "new order," said to be "in Christ," as opposed to "in Adam."
So, there was no "man" before Adam; and there will never be another "order" of men, for the Lord Jesus Christ is the LAST Adam to whom every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess His Lordship, including celestial, terrestrial and infernal beings!
And He is the Creator! Evolution is a damnable heresy and a denial of the Person and Deity of Christ! To follow its course logically will result in the most awful blasphemy of he Son of Gods' love.
