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.

 Dear Editors and friends,

 Dear Editors and friends,

   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.

Msg# 1203 Overcomers
What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

In the seven messages Christ left for the messengers of the seven local Churches there are seven promises to those who overcometh as follows: “To him that overcometh: (of Ephesus) will I give to eat of the tree of life (2:7), (of Smyrna) shall not be hurt of the second death (2:11), (of Pergamos) will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written (2:17), (and keepeth my works unto the end) (of Thyatira) to him will I give power over the nations (2:26), (of Sardis) the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the book of life (3:5), (of Philadelphia) will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, … and I will write upon him my new name (3:12), (of Laodicea) will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne (3:21) .” One may ask who are these who overcome? Are they the ones who 'Endure to the end?' who 'Keep the faith?' who 'Don't loose their Salvation?' No, the Apostle John who penned these words of Christ for the overcomers clarifies who they are in 1John 5:4-5 “For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?” Overcomers are born-again ones! You born-again?

Msg# 1202 Jesus, The First and The Last
What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

“And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the
first and the last, which was dead, and is alive.” Jesus' seven salutations
contain an emphasis needed for each particular local Church. Smyrna means
'myrrh' and resonates with the gathering gloom of death. In persecutions
unto death we are addressed by the First and the Last. Isaiah says “Who hath
wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD,
the first, and with the last; I am he.” again, “Thus saith the LORD the King
of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first, and I am the
last; and beside me there is no God.” Jehovah and his Redeemer are one and
are the first and the last. Again “Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my
called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last” The God of Israel is
this same first and last. When a Christian names the “Diety of his choice”
as a liberal president put it, he names the Lord Jesus Christ. We worship
the Lord Jesus Christ as our Jehovah God and Supreme Creator. Mormons don't;
JWs don't; Christians do. Politicians and other infidels refuse us to even
publicly pray in his name. “And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's
sake.” … “If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated
you.” … “I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them,
because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.” You will
be persecuted for it, but keep the name of the Lord Jesus Christ in your
conversation this week.

Msg #1152 Second Advent Joy to the World
What The Bible Says

Good Samaritan's Penny Pulpit by Pastor Ed Rice

Christmas is past. All the verses to “Joy to the World” have been sung. But the Earth did not receive her king; every heart did not prepare him room. For most Americans the afterglow of Christmas is a mounting credit card indebtedness. “And in despair I bowed my head; 'There is no peace on earth,' I said, 'For hate is strong, and mocks the song of peace on Earth, good will to men.” For the Christian the afterglow of Christmas is the pending fulfillment of many of the carols we sing. The first advent of Christ is marvelously miraculous. The Infinite, Almighty God, taking on finite flesh, and being born among us as Redeeming Saviour, Prophet, Priest and King, the Only Begotten Son of God. Miraculous! But most of the Carols of Christmas were crafted by somewhat Reformed Catholics who considered no upcoming millennial reign of Christ. All we get is what we got, they thought. To the Bible believer there is yet a whole chapter to be fulfilled in Second Advent of Christ. “Till, ringing singing on its way, the world revolved from night to day, A voice, a chime, a chant sublime, Of Peace of Earth, good will to men.” The Second Advent of Christ, got all mucked up in Catholic Doctrine, it failure didn't get Reformed by the reformers, and is grossly misrepresented by the Adventists and the other cults. But when He comes back as King of kings, and Lord of lords, THEN “the Saviour reigns”; and THEN “He rules the world with truth and grace, And makes the nations prove. The glories of His righteousness, and wonders of his love.” THEN we shall repeat this sounding Joy and sing Joy to the World with its full meaning. Merry Christmas, believer.
