..that I am nothing on my own

Image
Ever since I realized that I am nothing on my own and know nothing before God , and after I came before the Savior with this nothingness, namely, that He should be my life and my everything, I had every reason to be joyful. I could bring all my own and others' troubles before Him, Who did everything to help us. God's word and His wonderful promises brought me more and more joy every day, and I discovered more and more truths and promises that gave me reason to praise and thank Him. Emil Nigg

..hogy magamtól semmi vagyok,

Image
Amióta felismertem, hogy magamtól semmi vagyok, és Isten előtt semmit sem tudok, és miután én ezzel a semmivel az Üdvözítő elé kerültem, tudniillik, hogy Ő legyen az életem és mindenem, már megvolt minden alapom ahhoz, hogy vidám legyek. Minden saját és idegen gondot Az elé vihettem, Aki mindent elvégzett, hogy rajtunk segítsen. Isten szava, csodálatos ígéretei, napról-napra egyre jobban megörvendeztettek, és egyre újabb igazságokat és ígéreteket fedeztem fel ahhoz, hogy okot találjak a dicsőítésre és a köszönetre.

Verses about the Trinity - in the Old Testament

Couple of days ago I met a young Muslim man on the cyber marketplace of the internet. He was zealous and fervent. His anger - partially - was right. Being hurted by the western imperialism and separated from the good news He has no peaceful message from Christians who fulfill the Great Commission: sharing the Good News for all nations... Beyond (and apart from) the political reasons, here's the answer for his question: Q: ... and what about the Trinity in the old testament? A: Well. Okay. You have asked. Let we see : — — — Old Testament passages that refer to God's Son and the Spirit of God. 1.Passages about God's Son: Psalm 2:7 - "I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, You art my Son; this day have I begotten you " {This is part of a royal psalm where God Mighty addresses the king.} Proverbs 30:4 - "Who had ascended up into heaven, or descended? who had gathered the wind in his fists? who had bound the w...

Do not drift back to the Law

study Our modern Bible editions spoil us, giving cosy overview of the biblical scriptures and helpful case studies when we meandering through the labyrinth of doctrines. However, our helpers sometimes mislead us by slicing up the original composition of thoughts. In the letter for the Galatians ap. Paul discusses spiritual slavery versus spiritual freedom. He is concerned about the status of the early Galatian churches. Due to the constant influence of Jewish traditionalism and its followers, the local believers cannot withstand the pressure to restore the Law by partially keeping the circumcision. {or any other parts of the old covenant} As Paul often points out, it is impossible to maintain the old and develop the new. Tell me, you who desire to be under the law, do you not listen to the Law? For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by a slave woman and one by a free woman. 2 But the son of the slave was born according to the flesh, 3 while the son...

Devoted to Prayer

Online Church Service – Devoted to Prayer - Part 2 by Adam Bream We’re now on our 9th and FINAL instalment of our ‘Devoted’ series. It’s been quite a journey! A series exploring the impact that the Holy Spirit HAS on followers of Jesus and how He affects our devotion towards several very specific aspects of life. At the end of Acts 2, we have a handful of verses that give us quite a short but powerful example of what God wants His Church to look like and to be prioritising. Devoted to, in fact. Not just for the 1st generation Church, but for EVERY generation following = including ours today. Where it’s easy to get distracted by our own personal likes and dislikes , it’s MORE important that we see what God wants / WHAT HE has planned for HIS Church to enjoy. When builders are building a home, they refer to the drawings that the architect has created. The blueprints. Acts 2:42-47 are like the blueprints for the Church. As these ordinary men and women began encount...
