What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

Each of the three great Hebrew feasts required in Scripture reveals some tremendous insights for a Christian. On the tenth day of Abib a lamb without spot or blemish was selected from the flock and kept out until the 14th day. In the afternoon it was slain and roasted whole such that not a bone was broken. It was eaten with bitter herbs till there was none left over on the 15th day of the month, which was a high sabbath, a holy convocation, and the first day of the feast of unleavened bread. This was not a feast of plenty nor festivity, it was a feast of unleavened bread which lasted seven days. Each day there was a burnt offering of 2 bullocks, one ram, and seven lambs, three tenth deals of flour mingled with oil for each bullock, two tenth deals for a ram, and several tenth deal for each lamb. There was daily ?one goat for a sin offering, to make an atonement for you,? and again ?on the seventh day ye shall have an holy convocation; ye shall do no servile work.? A Church is an Ecclesia, a ?called out and gathered together body of believers.? The Hebrew mirrored term is the 'holy convocation' called for in these feasts. It includes the concept of 'gathering together.' When you get saved your added to the family of God, not the Church of God. There is no catholic, universal, invisible church that you are a part of until you show up at a 'gathering' of believers and unite with that local Church. Christ our passover lamb ushered us into a period of 'unleavened bread', where a burnt offering is a reasonable service, where sin is atoned, and where a holy convocation happens every Lord's day.

Msg# 1237 Dwelling with God & The Hebrew Tabernacle

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

And let them make me a sanctuary; that I may dwell among them. Exd 25:8

The Hebrew Tabernacle was the place wherein Jehovah God dwelt with the Hebrews after their redemption from Egypt. It did not just symbolize his presence, it was the housing of his presence. Certain conditions needed to be met before our holy, all powerful Creator could make his tabernacle with mere man. The study of these certain conditions makes for a powerful manifestation of the God – man relationship. Chapter upon chapter of the Pentateuch are consumed with the detailed description of this tabernacling of God with man. The Hebrew will comprehend no other portion of the Torah without ready access to these 'certain conditions'.

And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud,

and stood in the door of the tabernacle.

The Christian will not completely comprehend the completed work of their Christ and Saviour without studious entry into this Sanctuary where God dwelt with mankind. Indeed the second book of the Holy Bible, yeah, the second book of the Hebrew Pentateuch, provides overwhelming detail about the layout and then construction of this tabernacle. The 3^rd book, Leviticus, describes the necessary procedures for man's approach to God's dwelling, and the 4^th God's careful description of its mobility. These wordy and detailed descriptions are a significant portion of God's revelation to man. They have carefully been copied and preserved word for word, yeah letter for letter, yeah more, dot for dot and tittle for tittle, for 3,500 years! The Hebrew Tabernacle carries such weight in the revelation of God that we are delinquent if we do not study and explore every revealed detail. And this we will do in the pages of my upcoming book.

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

The Roman Catholic Religion used its power over the Roman Emperor to cause
to perish any person who would own or read any portion of the Holy Bible in
the English language. When Wycliffe had translated the New Testament to
English 150 years earlier they found open preaching of the Gospel of Jesus
Christ completely overthrew their exclusive power over the government and
the masses. When Erasmus published the unaltered Greek New Testament there
was found no penance, no priest, no veneration of Mary, no canonizing nor
prayer to saints, and ONLY ONE offering that would forgive sin. That one
offering, which would not benefit Roman Catholic coffers one little bit, was
derogatorily called by Roman Pope Leo X “the fable of Christ!” William
Tyndale, fluent in 8 languages, who saw the power of the preaching of Jesus
Christ and Him crucified, sent to the printing press hundreds of copies of
the New Testament in English, even as the vile and wicked Roman Catholic
entity sent thousands of men, women, and children to their death for owning
or reading one. The Catholics, Anglicans and Reformers, lost the battle
against the printed Word when King James authorized and funded its wholesale
translation into the English language. Hold your King James Bible close to
your chest. These entities still want to destroy it and revise it away. Out
from the pits of these Romanized 'churches' and the tainted manuscripts of
Clement-Origin's Alexandria Egypt, regurgitate the RSV, NIV, ASV, NASV, ESV
et. al. Happy Anniversary Good Samaritan; 21 years of holding dear ONLY ONE
precious book, the one and only complete English translation of the
inspired, infallible, inerrant Holy Word of God , the King James Bible. Hold
it close and preach it on the streets while we still have that freedom.

Msg# 1235 Intimacy in The Lord's Prayer

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

The chapter that best encapsulates the intimacy that a believer has with his Christ is the one properly called “The Lord's Prayer” and found in John 17. The four previous chapters detail his teachings on the new intimacy in this relationship, but this chapter is a powerful summary of what we now have in this relationship. Prayer is the most bonding and unifying practice for two or three people. Not the dinner prayer, or the public prayer, but the sharing of ones heart and desire with their Father and Creator in the presence of a friend. It can heal marriages if you dare to practice it. Here Jesus shares his most intimate conversation with the Father. Your study of John 17 can teach you three important things about the trinity and God becoming flesh; three important things bout the disciples and their longevity with the Lord; and three important things about the believer and theirs as well. Lay thine hand upon a pen, outline the nine points, remember the battle, but then do more. Prayerfully examine the intimacy with your Chirst that is portrayed herein. It likely was prayed by him after his work was finished. It was likely heard in first person by the apostle John. It was most certainly recorded verbatim by the inspiration of God almighty. It is given here, in the midst of Jesus' powerful lessons on the new intimacy we have with our Christ with careful organization within John's recorded gospel of Jesus Christ. Don't waste it on just a nine point outline.

Msg# 1234 Our Comforter is Their Reprover.

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

The 16^th chapter of John continues the discourse Jesus undertook to prepare his disciples for his departure. “These things have I spoken unto you that ye should not be offended.” Believers will be killed in the name of the Lord, yeah they will suffer all kinds of wrong for his names sake. They have. It's surprising today how both Islam and sodomy are accepted in our society and government schools where both the Holy Bible and the name of Jesus Christ are cursed, mocked, and banned; but we were warned that it would be so. This world hates Christ and his believers. Present in the believer is the comforter, and although he is that to us, to the world he is the reprover. He leads us into all truth, but he reproves the world of sin because they believe not on Jesus the Christ. He seals us forever in the righteousness of Christ, but he reproves the world of theirs because all their righteousnesses are as filthy rags. The Comforter compels us to know the judge of the quick and the dead but he reproves the world that “as it is appointed unto man once to die, and after this the judgment,” they fear, curse and reject the righteous judge and his righteousness judgments. This society, about to replace a sodomy approving, baby killing, liberal leader with a pagan Mormon -Roman Catholic economy team, is no friend of my Lord and God, Jesus Christ. They might put a band aid on our hemorrhaging, socialist economy but it will take your witness filled with the Holy Spirit of God to fix the soul of this nation. Your presence will reprove the world of sin, righteousness, and judgment today, give them the Gospel of Christ while you are at it.

Msg# 1233 Revive Us Again?

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

Lord wilt thou not revive us again? When the Lord returns will He find faith on the earth? Without faith it is impossible to please Him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. America does not. If the 1,500 race-fans personally surveyed in Watkins-Glen with Evangelist Garraway are representative, not one in 500 have your faith, even less a diligent seeking. We are blessed in grace. We want others to be that blessed, but America is incensed with scoff and ridicule for God's Word. What overwhelms in in this plight is that someone risked scoffing and ridicule to get you the Gospel truth. In the midst of all the convincing deceit and lies that swallow up the majority, God drew you with his truth and caused you to believe; securing in you the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not seen. God is good. When you share that glorious salvation with a neighbor think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you. Jesus assured you “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” There are Christians suffering real persecutions in this world. In America there are laws protecting your speech about the love of Christ. Chick-Fillet found them barely tenable but the laws are still in place. You are revealing the glory of God like a light in a dark place, when darkness comprehends it not, remember we are still joint heirs with Christ. When we suffer with him, we shall also be glorified together. Wilt thou not revive us again. Really? Every man that hath this hope in him purifieth himself, even as Christ is pure.

Msg# 1230 Intimacy With Christ

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

“Now before the feast of the passover, when Jesus knew that his hour was come that he should depart out of this world unto the Father, having loved his own which were in the world, he loved them unto the end.” This first verse of John 13 marks another turning point in the teaching ministry of the Christ. The next five chapters develop an intense intimacy between Christ and the believer. It is, unfortunately, more intimate than most believers ever experience in their relationship with their Lord. Joun 13 begins describing this intimacy with two powerful points. The disciple indeed is a servant indeed, and the disciple indeed is a possessor not just a professor. Every, all to frequent, Baptist Church fight, I've seen far far to many, mimics the disciples quarrel “Who is going to be the greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven,… I want the position on Christ's right hand.” There is no greater reproof or grander lesson than the Master girding himself in a servant's towel and washing the disciple's feet. He crowns this lesson with: “If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them.” It is scary; so many unhappy Baptists. Jesus then tactlessly asks each disciple to examine their reality. One would betray him and one would deny him. “Is it I?” is the question he means for each to ask. It is easy to 'be' Christian. It is difficult to 'act' Christian. Further, wearing Peter's overzealous mouth does not capture the humble heart of a servant. “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.” How is your love? Intimacy with Christ starts here. Are you a servant indeed? Are you a disciple indeed? Happy are ye.

Msg# 1232 Intimacy Abides

What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

Jesus taught his disciples “I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. … Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine.” This is a continuation of the perfect intimacy that is available to those who are disciples indeed. John chapter 15 is not teaching how to become a disciple, if you are not a born again, Bible believer coming into chapter 15 go back to chapter 3 and start over. If you are a disciple indeed (chapter13) and you desire his intimacy indeed (chapter14) you are ready for this lesson on abiding indeed. Abiding in Christ involves obedience and love and it produces the fruit of the vine. The fruit of the vine is not more vines, it is the sweet, plump, juice filled, healing package of blessed nectar called the grape. The grape also carries forth the seed, and the seed can produce more vines when they get into good soil, but that's another lesson. There is a cultic-ego-driven, ugly sect of fundamentalism that insist that the branches must produce more branches. True fruit from the true vine is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance and these are indeed the sweet, people blessing, God glorifying nectar that flow's out of a true believers life. Chapter15 goes on to teach what friendship with God is, to worn that being God's friend make's us the world's enemy, and to assure us that the Comforter that indwells us is indeed the Spirit of Truth which proceeds from the Father and testifies of Christ. When you are abiding and that Spirit of Truth is indwelling, you will indeed bear fruit, and you will indeed testify of Christ. How's the fruit? How's the testimony?

Conservative vs Liberal

While a conservative Christian believes that all men are CREATED equal, a progressive liberal believes that just like the greyhound evolved into the jackass or the lizard evolved into a bald eagle, or the chimpanzee turned into a human-being with a PHD, so too must human government evolve from what the founders formed and become a new improved entity. While a conservative Christian believes that men are CREATED with certain inalienable rights, a progressive liberal believes that equality and rights of beings are developed and provided by their government and that both equality and rights must change along with human evolution. While Barack Hussein Obama and every pronounced Democratic leader is a progressive liberal, this Baptist Preacher of the Gospel of Jesus Christ need say no more about politics, nor about who one should vote out of office at all cost.

Someone who knows them should send this perfectly enlightening post to Limbaugh, Hannady and Galliger who are each struggling with its essence.

Msg# 1204 Two Edged Swords
What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

To the angel, or messenger, to the Church in Pergamos the Lord Jesus Christ addresses himself as “he which hath the sharp sword with two edges.” This is without doubt a reference to his previous letter to the Hebrews wherein he states “For the word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thought and intents of the heart.” With the saints at Ephesus He instructs us to put on the whole armour of God “and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” By their own admission Protestants, reformed, evangelicals and modernists have dropped their sword. They mistakenly teach that only the autographs that dripped from the prophets pen is accurate so they serve up a host of Bible Critics who pretend older and better manuscripts from the philosophers of Alexandria Egypt can solve all those Bible defects and tell us what God meant to say in the autographs. Those philosophers do not even know you have a soul and spirit! Their ecumenical Bible societies will never print a sharp sword with two edges. Baptist, who are not reformers or reformed need to keep their hands on their swords in these days. Jesus says to the angel of the Church in Pergamus, that he already has a sword with two edges, don't get yours from some society of Bible critics. When you are dwelling where Satan's seat is, striving to hold fast His name, and not denying His faith, it is most important to have a solid hold on the two edged sword, which is the Word of God.
