1Samuel 15 : 22 23, "Samuel said, "Has theLordas much delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices As in obeying the voice of theLord? Behold,to obey is better than sacrifice, Andto heed than the fat of rams. 23"For rebellion is as the sin ofdivination, And insubordination is asiniquity and idolatry. Because you have rejected the word of theLord, He has also rejected you fr...

Gen.1:1 says, "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." "In the beginning" points to the beginning of time and creation. The point to note here is that if God was already there in the beginning, then God precedes the beginning. If God precedes the beginning, then God is eternal. Moses is the author of Genesis and Psalm 90. Psa.90:1-2 says, Lord, You have b...

In this article I want to take up the subject of the Biblical account of God's creation of mankind. That account is recorded for us in Gen.1:26-31 2:7-9, 15-25. Both accounts deal with God's creation of mankind on the sixth day. Take careful note of how I have set out the reading of both chapters. 1:24 Then God said, "Let the earth bring forth living creatures after thei...

Let us consider the following : 1). God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, and according to Our likeness." This is an astonishing truth. Man is made to reflect in a finite manner what the infinite God is like and to have fellowship with God. It must be emphasized that all men and women, without exception, are equally made in the image of God. The image of God is every p...

I want to begin this article by setting before you the following sampling of verses. Exod.20:11, "For in six days theLordmade the heavens and the earth, the sea and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day." (cf. 31:17). Psa.33:6, "By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, And by the breath of His mouth all their host." Psa.96:5b, "the LORD made the heave...

Throughout the history of the church,'the Beatitudes' have held a special place in most Christians' hearts. In fact, the popularity of Jesus' "Blessed are those who" statements are even recited by those who do not claim to be followers of Christ.InMatt 5:3, Jesus said,"Blessed are the poor in spirit for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."We need to remember here that Jesus i...

"In the same region there weresomeshepherds staying out in the fields and keeping watch over their flock by night.9Andan angel of the Lord suddenlystood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them; and they were terribly frightened.10But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid; for behold, I bring you good news of great joy which will be for all the people;1...

A few things caught my attention when I first visited the Reformed Evangelical Church in Auzonville Road, Tunapuna, almost ten years ago. One of them was the use of the "Amen" at the end of the hymns that were sung in the worship service. I had not seen this practiced in any of the churches I had visited before. It seemed to me that the congregation was adding a solemn agr...

"Not everyone who says to Me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father who is in heaven will enter. 22 Many will say to Me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name cast out demons, and in Your name perform many miracles?' 23 And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; depart from me, y...

On the pages of Holy scripture, we have been given the truth. Through the scriptures God has chosen to reveal His glorious person to us. This is ultimately and intimately seen in His Son, Jesus Christ. While we may hold such a statement to be true, its meaning is often lost in our daily lives. We often pass too quickly over the great truths of who Jesus is and what He did....
