What then? Shall we try to put another meaning into the text than that which it fairly bears? I trow not. You must, most of you, be acquainted with the general method in which our older Calvinistic friends deal with this text. “All men,” say they,—“that is, some men”: as if the Holy Ghost could not have said “some men”…
I want to challenge you to read “The Potter’s Promise: A Commentary on Romans 9” I have just finished this book and highly recommend. “Confused by the issues surrounding Calvinism? Does Romans 9 teach unconditional predestination? Want to cut through some of the red tape? Then read Leighton’s book. He is charitable but gets right to the point, making a strong,…
I Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart. As the story starts Samuel is just sad that God didn’t use…
I literally do not know what to say. Yesterday was a tremendously wonderful day. I saw so many people who worked so hard. I want to thank all of Vision. I want to thank all of our missionaries. Vision supports a lot of missionaries and currently has 23 families that are members of the church. Trent Cornwell and his…
https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/09/us/pew-church-10-reasons/index.html I used the following notes in our Teachers and Workers Meeting the other night. I believe it is interesting to say the least: top 10 reasons given by Americans who attend religious services at least once a month, according to Pew. Survey respondents were allowed to give more than one reason. The percentage refers to people who said this…
II Kings 13:11 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel sin: but he walked therein. When you follow the sins of others, you will be doing evil in the sight of the Lord. It is your choice. You…
Dr. Thurman Wade was a great blessing to me. I met Brother Wade back in the early 1980’s. He came to my church and presented Faith Promise missions. He got me to have my first mission’s conference. He helped me. I got our church much more on board with supporting missionaries. We supported Dr. Wade. I actually only gave him…
II Kings 10:16 And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot. Jehu is in love with God. He is a man on a mission. He invites a rider along to go with him in his chariot and see what he will do. His excitement isn’t merely an…
I grew up in a Christian family that loved and served the Lord. At the age of eleven, I accepted Christ as my personal Lord and Savior. Although I was saved at the age of eleven, I didn’t surrender to missions until the age of eighteen. I was attending a missions conference when God called me to serve Him full…
I Kings 4:2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil. When God wanted to work a miracle in the life of this lady, He does so with what she has in…
