Eternal Gift

May the beauty and joy of this Christmas bring praise and joy to your heart and the hearts of your loved ones and God's Peace to your homes. Just a little over 2,000 years ago God gave His greatest gift unto all the world... From His Heavenly Throne to a humble manger in the East; And then back to His Heavenly Throne. God the Son, Christ Jesus to forever and ever reign over all His creation...
Though unworthy of His Loving embrace, He has poured out His Mercy and Grace that we may be forgiven of our sins and live forever in His presence.
Hallelujah Christmas

Standing Firm On The Gospel













Through the Bible in one year in 15 minutes a day, from Bible Pathway Ministries
December 22, 2015 Read II John, III John, Jude

Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ
(Jude 1:3-4).

The Book of Jude is comprised of only one, 27 verse chapter, yet its message is vital to the well-being of every Christian in the world today. Jude addresses the thorny issue of the false teachers that are infiltrating the church, contradicting the WORD of God and working to draw Christians away from the truth before our LORD's return. It should be the desire of every child of God to faithfully follow Jude's exhortation to earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. We must always be ready to defend by whatever means necessary, the true and unaltered message of salvation through Jesus Christ our LORD.

To earnestly contend for the faith implies not only the belief that All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:(II Tim. 3:16), but also the understanding that Scripture alone is the final WORD on all doctrine of the church. We must stand firm against those that seek to dilute or add to the WORD of God. Anyone that stands before you and states that, in order to be saved, you must do either more or less than the Bible requires is a liar and must be rebuked.

Balaam (Num. 34:16) and Core (Korah) (Num. 16) are mentioned as examples of leaders who perished because they rejected God's revealed truth to promote their own interests (Jude 1:11). In today's church there is a subtle and deceptive push by certain fringe groups towards joining hands with religions that reject Jesus of Nazareth as the Only LORD God, and our LORD Jesus Christ. As true believers, we must realize that God calls us to minister to others with godly love in an attempt to share the true message of Christ; however, He warns us not to allow ourselves to be corrupted by those to who we are ministering. And of some have compassion, making a difference: And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh (Jude 1:22-23).

The most insidious of all false teachers will not deny God directly; they will pay lip service to His will, while at the same time introducing their own. Jude warns that such deceivers will be judged in the same manner as God has judged all who have stood against Him. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day (Jude 1:6). They may have familiarized themselves with God's written WORD to some degree, but they have not received the Living WORD, the Son of God into their hearts. We must recognize them for what they are and prepare ourselves to stand against them, united in our faith and our love for our LORD and SAVIOR Jesus Christ.

Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand (Eph. 6:13).

Thought for Today: To express godly love requires selflessness without motivation; as this is contrary to our sinful nature, we must rely on God in order to achieve it.

Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Matthew 28:19-20

The Great Commission, that Jesus entrusted to the New Testament church, has continually been passed down through the ages until today where it reaches us. This commission is needed to be carried more today than ever. The commission to carry the Word of God to every corner of the world. The commission to have every person on this planet to learn of Jesus Christ and His great gift to mankind. Human souls are hungry for God's Word and many do not even know what they desire. They stand in the valley of decision. How are they to find the truth?

Bible Pathway Ministries International has one true purpose. This is to feed that hunger for God's Word. The mission God has given us is get the Word of God into the hands of every human possible and so they might be able to read and understand it. This is necessary because it is in God's Word we find the answers to life's questions. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works. II Timothy 3:16-17.

"This means that God, through His Word, provides everything necessary for us to be fully prepared to be the person God wants us to be in order to accomplish the purpose for which He created us. I believe that the whole future course, character, and testimony of the Body of Christ depends - not partly - but entirely on the Spirit of God writing deeply in our hearts the importance of living all of the Scriptures. No one can live something they don't know."
- John A. Hash, Founder & Executive Director of Bible Pathway Ministries.

History Repeats Its Self

This is a film that everyone should have to see, however I certainly do not recommend it to the weak of heart.... Please understand, I do not post this to cause hatred and/or revenge for these atrocities but to educate those that will listen....

The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9 (KJV) History has proven that all government given the time will progress to become tyrannical just as Germany had in the 1930s and 40s... First they did universal healthcare, they reeducated the children, they confiscated the weapons and they relocated many of the citizens to camps.... Does most of this sound familiar?

Let us learn from this film that we may not become slaves to this government or any other government. I pray Father God, Help me to remember those words spoken by Patrick Henry in 1775 at St John's Church in Richmond, Virginia to the Virginia Convention, "Give me liberty, or give me death!" Patrick Henry words were said to be credited for having convinced the delegates to pass a resolution delivering Virginian troops for the Revolutionary War..... Thomas Jefferson and George Washington were also present in this convention.

Wisdom For Today


God said: "And they consider not in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness:

We are told in Genesis, So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them. We are also told in Revelation Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. Revelation 4:11

God knows absolutely everything there is to be known about us, even our deepest thoughts and desires. He knows when we rise in the mornings and when we lie down at night. He knows what makes us happy and what makes us sad... Thus God knows our hearts better than we know ourselves.

Not that we would be mere robots doing that which was required of us, God in His great mercy gave man the gift of freewill. Doing that which is right as led by God's Holy WORD most always brought order, blessings and structure to our lives, however doing that which is wrong most always brought about consequences into our lives resulting in heart aches or troubles to numerous to mention here.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations: That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: 1 Peter 1:3-7
God's WORD tells us, The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? Jeremiah 17:9. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient; Romans 1:28. If we should embrace this wickedness than He will allow us to fail just as He allowed the Israelites to fail to reach their full potential in life, but seeking God's will can bring blessings into every area of our lives.

Understanding the truth of God's WORD and the power behind knowing His WORD is truly the secret to all of man life and our relationship with God.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12

God is all knowing and all powerful; He spoke the very existence of the universe into being and then set it in motion; how can we as mere men ever grasp this understanding without faith? For those that wish to maintain their rebellion to the truth of God's WORD of being the only real absolute truth, I added a link for you to investigate for the truth on your own. Science vs. The Bible

Never in all of my years have there been more of a reason for me to believing in God's WORD and the coming rapture of His Church.

The following was a Bible Lesson taken from Bible Pathway Ministries which I copied that I thought should be shared. Knowing the importance of reading God's WORD in 1973 Dr John A Hash began the Bible Pathway Ministries for aiding and guiding a person to read through the Bible in one year with only 15 minutes of reading each day.

Solomon, the son of David, king of Israel was said to be the wise man to ever have lived; And he understood the importance of seeking God in his life as we are shown in the Book of Proverbs.




September 21

And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit (Joel 2:27-29 KJV).

In the time of Joel. feeling the presence of the Spirit of the LORD was a rare ad precious gift that was experienced only by a handful of God's chosen people - primarily His prophets, judges, and spiritually devout kings. The average Israelite could find the Lords; will through His WORD and His Law, which had been passed down generation after generation, but the could not "feel" the presence of the LORD themselves. They were still separated from Him by a veil of sin. Through His Prophet Joel. the LORD foretold of a future time when the Spirit of the LORD would be able to come freely to all who would receive Him. The Prophet Ezekiel also made a similar statement: Then shall they know that I am the Lord their God, which caused them to be led into captivity among the heathen: but I have gathered them unto their own land, and have left none of them any more there. Neither will I hide my face any more from them: for I have poured out my spirit upon the house of Israel, saith the Lord God (Ezekiel 39:28-29 KJV). Each of these men were making reference to a time when man would have the opportunity, through Christ's work on the Cross, to have their sins washed away. Only then, in purity and light, would they be able to receive the Spirit of God.

Centuries later, on the day of Pentecost, Joel's prophecy came to fruition. Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call (
Acts 2:38-39).
As the power of the Holy Spirit filled the room, Peter began to urge those listening to renounce their sinful nature and accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
We are all born into this world under the shadow of sin. The Adamic (Basic human) nature has brought about all the corruption that is in the world, however, through the work of Christ on the Cross, we have been given the ability to exchange that nature for the Spirit of Truth (1 John 4:6; John 14:16-17), The contrast between life in Adam (Before we were saved) and life in Christ (From the moment we accepted Him as our Savior) is the difference between being children of darkness and children of light (Eph. 5:8).
Spiritual re-birth, however, is only the beginning of our Christian life; afterwards, we must allow ourselves to be led by the Spirit of God. We should determine to let the indwelling Spirit take full control of our lives. Together with the written WORD of God, the Holy Spirit empowers the believer to be able to do the will of God.
It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6:63).

Thought for Today: Christians need not wander aimlessly through the darkness; God is lighting the way.
