BLESSINGS OF OUR LORD
WHEN HE IS IN OUR MIDST
Short Description
"The Lord hath taken aeay thy judgements, he hath cast out thine enemy: the king of Israel, even the Lord, is in the midst of thee: thou shalt not see evil anymore."
The blessings of our Lord when He is in our midst :-
1.We will be made special : Exo 8:22 When our Lord is in midst of us, He will make a clevage between Godly people and worldly people. We will be made special only when we give first preference to Him. We have to consult Him before doing anything.
2. He speaks : Num 7:89 The dwelling place of our Lord is the Heaven but He comes down just to converse with us. So, when He is in our midst He will talk to us. As God speaks in the tabernacle, He should come into our dwelling places and talk to us.

out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched
my clothes?

highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God,
who giveth us richly all things to enjoy;

HOLINESS

"You must be holy because I am holy." Leviticus 11:44

Holiness! There is sweet music in the very name. It tells of sin subdued—of boisterous passions lulled—of fiery lusts becalmed—of miry paths made clean. It sets before us a pure walk, where peace and joy go hand in hand, and scatter heaven-born fragrance round.

Reader, this grace for a few moments claims your view. God's voice commends it to your love. May His might graft it in your heart.

Holiness! To cause this lovely plant to thrive—its roots to deepen—and its branches to bear fruit, is one grand purpose of the scheme of grace.

Fly back in spirit to the day, when sovereign love made its all-wise decrees, and life's fair book received the blessed names. We find election choosing souls in Christ. What is the final cause? It is, that they should be holy and without blame before God in love. Eph. 1:4. A holy stone is laid, that thence a holy fabric may arise. The will to save wills Holiness in the saved.

Predestination next draws the full chart of the believer's course. The path is Holiness. "A highway shall be there, and a way; and it shall be called the way of Holiness." Is. 35:8. The holy pilgrims may not walk in mire. They all show features of a heavenly birth. "Whom He did foreknow He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son." Rom. 8:29. The God-like travelers must tread a godly road. When the due time is come, Jesus appears with full redemption in His hands. Doubtless the first note of the Gospel-trumpet is rescue by His death from sin's tremendous woe—payment by His blood of sin's immeasurable debt—endurance on His cross of the law's curse—satisfaction through His sacrifice of all God's claims. Wondrous achievement! Noble triumph! Worthy display of everlasting love and power!

But is this all? Are there not other waters in this well? Are there not other summits on this rock? Yes. Christ is redemption's overflowing cup. Christ is the uttermost of man's vast need. Hence He frees from the rule and sway of evil, as surely as from its endless pains. Holiness is the Redeemer's essence; and the redemption's end. Hark, the word loudly cries, "He gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity." Tit. 2:14. "Who gave Himself for our sins,...

Consider The Lord Jesus Christ.

Heb 3:1 Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling,
consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ
Jesus;

12:3 For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against
himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

1.Consider His humility.

Phil 2:2:7 But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of
a servant, and was made in the likeness of men:
2:8 And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and
became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.
2:9 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name
which is above every name:

2. Consider His obedience.

Heb 5:8 Though he were a Son, yet learned he obedience by the things
which he suffered;

3. Consider His Characters.

Heb 7:26 For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless,
undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens;
7:27 Who needeth not daily, as those high priests, to offer up sacrifice,
first for his own sins, and then for the people’s: for this he did
once, when he offered up himself.

4. Consider His piety/Zeal

John 2:2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves,
and the changers of money sitting:
2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all
out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the
changers’ money, and overthrew the tables;
2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make
not my Father’s house an house of merchandise.
2:17 And his disciples remembered that it was written, The zeal of thine
house hath eaten me up.

5. Consider His faithfulness.

Heb 3:2 Who was faithful to him that appointed him, as also Moses was
faithful in all his house.

6. Consdier His Minsitries.

Mark 10:10:45 For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to
minister, and to give his life a ransom for many

7. Consider His teachings/Doctrines,.

(a)Luke 12:24 Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither
have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more

COVETOUSNESS - THE SIN NOBODY WILL ADMIT TO.

As we look at this 10th Commandment, the first characteristic I notice is that this Commandment represents a move away from actions into the realm of attitude. While breaking all the rest of the Commandments has its origin in the heart and mind of man, they all find their ultimate expression in some type of physical activity. This Commandment is different. While there is often tangible evidence of lying, stealing, adultery, murder, disobedience to parents, taking God's Name in vain, making graven images or having other gods before God, there is usually little or no evidence of covetousness. As a result, this is a sin that is rarely, if ever confessed and owned up to. In truth, we are all guilty. We just won't admit it to ourselves, others or the Lord. Of all the Commandments listed, this is probably the one most often broken and the one that will most readily cause you to break the other nine. We will see that covetousness is a serious sin and that it needs to be confessed and forsaken by every child of God.

Once, Abraham Lincoln was seen walking with his 2 sons and both the boys were crying. As passerby asked the President what was wrong with his boys. "Exactly what's wrong with the whole world," said Lincoln, "I have three walnuts and each boy wants two."

Dr. Ken Trivette shares the following story. "On the night of November 16, 1930, Mrs. Henrietta Garret, a lonely 81 year old widow died in her home in Philadelphia, and, unwillingly, started the most fantastic case of inheritance litigation in history. She had failed to leave a will, or no will was found to her $17,000,000 estate; a mystery still unsolved. She had expertly handled her financial affairs since her husbands death in 1895 and therefore many felt that she must have realised that without an will, her fortune would become involved in legal battles.

Although, Mrs. Garret, at the time of her death, had only one known relative, a second cousin, and less than a dozen friends; attempts to prove relationship to her and claim a part of her estate was made by more than 26,000 persons from 47 states and 29 foreign countries, represented by more than 3,000 lawyers. In their efforts to obtain her estate, there were those that committed perjury, faked...

Five Types of Believers


Romans 14:1-2

As we study the New Testament, Christians tend to fall in five different types depending on how they understand and respond to the liberty we have in Christ

I. The Weaker Brother: four weaknesses define the weaker brother.

A. He is weak in his faith.

(ROM 14:1-2) "HIM THAT IS WEAK IN THE FAITH RECEIVE YE, BUT NOT TO DOUBTFUL DISPUTATIONS. FOR ONE BELIEVETH THAT HE MAY EAT ALL THINGS: ANOTHER, WHO IS WEAK, EATETH HERBS."

(ROM 14:22-23) "HAST THOU FAITH? HAVE IT TO THYSELF BEFORE GOD. HAPPY IS HE THAT CONDEMNETH NOT HIMSELF IN THAT THING WHICH HE ALLOWETH. AND HE THAT DOUBTETH IS DAMNED IF HE EAT, BECAUSE HE EATETH NOT OF FAITH: FOR WHATSOEVER IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN."

1. Faith as used here means a firm, intelli-gent conviction based on Scripture that something is okay or not okay.

2. It is a person who doubts and is not sure concerning what he believes.

B. He is weak in knowledge.

(1 COR 8:7) "HOWBEIT THERE IS NOT IN EVERY MAN THAT KNOWLEDGE: FOR SOME WITH CONSCIENCE OF THE IDOL UNTO THIS HOUR EAT IT AS A THING OFFERED UNTO AN IDOL; AND THEIR CONSCIENCE BEING WEAK IS DEFILED."

(ROM 14:14) "I KNOW, AND AM PERSUADED BY THE LORD JESUS, THAT THERE IS NOTHING UNCLEAN OF ITSELF: BUT TO HIM THAT ESTEEMETH ANY THING TO BE UNCLEAN, TO HIM IT IS UNCLEAN."

1. This is the reason for his lack of conviction, a lack of biblical understanding of God's grace.

2. His faith is either misinformed or lacking in biblical content which included three issues.

a. They did not realize the idol was nothing.

b. They did not know that food offered to "a nothing" was not spiritually affected and that it could not be unclean in itself.

c. They do not understand that food cannot commend us to God, that food in itself has no spiritual bearing on our spiritual lives (1 Cor. 8:8).

C. He is weak in conscience.

1. This means his conscience is based on human standards and norms.

2. His conscience is overly sensitive, condemning him for things Scripture does not. (1 Cor. 8:7; 10, 12).

D. He is weak in his will.

1. He is weak in his will because he can be influenced to do something contrary to his con-science,...

Ministerial Confessions

by Horatius Bonar

We have been carnal and unspiritual. The tone of our life has been low and earthly. Associating too much and too intimately with the world, we have in a great measure become accustomed to its ways. Hence our spiritual tastes have been vitiated, our consciences blunted, and that sensitive tenderness of feeling has worn off and given place to an amount of callousness of which we once, in fresher days, believed ourselves incapable.

We have been selfish. We have shrunk from toil, difficulty and endurance. We have counted only our lives, and our temporal ease and comfort dear unto us. We have sought to please ourselves. We have been worldly and covetous. We have not presented ourselves unto God as "living sacrifices," laying ourselves, our lives, our substance, our time, our strength, our faculties, our all, upon His altar. We seem altogether to have lost sight of this self sacrificing principle on which even as Christians, but much more as ministers, we are called upon to act. We have had little idea of anything like sacrifice at all. Up to the point where a sacrifice was demanded, we may have been willing to go, but there we stood; counting it unnecessary, perhaps calling it imprudent and unadvised, to proceed further. Yet ought not the life of every Christian, especially of every minister, to be a life of self sacrifice and self denial throughout, even as was the life of Him who "pleased not himself"?

We have been slothful. We have been sparing of our toil. We have not endured hardship as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. We have not sought to gather up the fragments of our time, that not a moment might be thrown idly or unprofitably away. Precious hours and days have been wasted in sloth, in idle company, in pleasure, in idle or worthless reading, that might have been devoted to the closet, the study, the pulpit or the meeting! Indolence, self indulgence, fickleness, flesh pleasing, have eaten like a canker into our ministry, arresting the blessing and marring our success. We have manifested but little of the unwearied, self denying love with which, as shepherds, we ought to have watched over the flocks committed to our care. We have fed ourselves, and not the flock. We have dealt deceitfully with God, whose servants we profess to be.

We have been cold....

The Cup of Wrath By Andrew Bonar

 "For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup, and the wine is red; it is full of mixture; and he pours out of the same: but the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall wring them out, and drink them." Psalm 75:8. It will help greatly to the right apprehension of this solemn subject, to notice that Christ is the speaker of these dreadful truths. They cannot, then, have been spoken harshly; they must have been uttered in all tenderness. As the head of His Church, Christ says (Psalm 75:1), "Unto You, O God, do we give thanks;" and then (Psalm 75:2), looking on a world lying in wickedness, He anticipates a different state of things before long: "I purpose when I shall receive the congregation that I shall judge uprightly." This shall be in the day when He returns to judge the earth. It is He, meanwhile, who upholds all by the word of His power; He keeps the world from falling into ruin; He it is that sustains that blue sky, as well as earths foundations, "I bear up the pillars thereof" —and were I to withhold my hand, all would tumble into ruin. Oh that an unthinking world would consider! Oh that fools would learn wisdom, and the proud would fall down before their Lord. For the Judge shall surely come, with the cup of red wine in His hand—a cup of wrath, of which every rebellious one must drink to the dregs. The horns of the wicked shall soon be laid low, and the righteous alone exalted (Psalm 9:10). It is of this cup that we this day wish to speak to you. It gives an alarming, awakening view of our God and Savior. It is not "God in Christ reconciling the world to Himself," but God the Judge, Christ the Judge. It is not the King with the golden scepter, inviting all to draw near: it is the King risen up in wrath, in the evening of the day of grace, to "judge all the wicked of the earth." Oh there is a hell, an endless hell, awaiting the ungodly! The Judge warns us of it--in order that none of us may be cast into that tremendous woe. Say not in your hearts, "God is too loving and merciful ever to condemn a...

A FLY IN THE OINTMENT Eccl 7:1-7.

 Solomon puts a bottle of perfume on the table. It smells terrible. In the bottom of the bottle is a large dead fly. The dead fly caused the perfume to have a stinking smell. Little things can ruin big things. Somebody forgot to put the top on the bottle. A fly will get into the perfume and cause it to stink. Solomon contrasts the wise with the fool. It is the small things buzzing around in your life that can ruin bigger things. This is true in all areas of life. Little flies can cause big problems. The fool allows the fly to get into the ointment. One moment of indiscretion can ruin your life. Solomon discovered this in his life. The right hand in the Bible is a symbol of God's protection. The fool is on the left hand. A fool gives himself away by the way he lives his life. There are three types of fool mentioned here and we can see the fly in their ointment.

1. The hearty fool (vs 4-7)

The hot-tempered person will be hot-headed. Let there be only one fool in the place! Don't you get mad as well. You need to control your temper. There is a way to handle it. We are to have a calm spirit. Fools get promoted by the hearty fool. It is not what you know - it is who you know. The people who are down low should be up high and those up high should be down low. We are not to complain. We are to wait on the Lord.

 2. The hapless fool (vs 8-11)

This person is operating without any thought. This person digs a hole and falls into it. This person tries to move a stone and it falls on him. These people live their lives without any caution or preparation. The just act and don't think. They do what they feel. They are like a fly in the ointment. They do not think of the long time ramifications. They are chopping with a dull axe. Too many people today borrow and spend money without thinking about how they will pay for it. You are digging your own hole. Don't let the fly get into the ointment. There is a snake that is going to bit you. You need to think of the repercussions.
