Celebrate the Resurrection
We wish you a blessed time this week celebrating the resurrection.I love what the angels said to the women at the tomb: Why do you seek the living with the dead? He is not here. HE HAS RISEN! (Luke 24:5, 6). Let us ever remember that the grave could not hold our Lord and Savior Yeshua, Jesus the Messiah and he is now seated next to the right hand of the throne of God and "ever liveth to make intercession for us" (Hebrews 7:25).

Four Steps to Loving Relationships
By Jan Magiera A number of years ago, I listened to a tape series by a minister from Palm Springs, California about relationships and marriage. This series of steps was presented in one of the teachings and I was intrigued and inspired to document from God’s Word what he was teaching. I discovered that when these steps are applied, marriage becomes an example or illustration of the intimacy with Jesus Christ our Lord in relationship with him that every believer can have, whether they are married or not. So I prayerfully...

Read moreJeremiah: The Calling of a Prophet
by Jan Magiera The book of Jeremiah is a record of the ministry of a prophet, including the calling and the development of a prophet. It shows how God calls a person and waits for the man or woman to rise up in their calling. When the man or woman is ready, God then teaches them what they need to know to fulfill their calling. Jeremiah was called to be a prophet and continued in that calling for fifty years. Jeremiah’s name means "Jehovah throws." The name Jeremiah was quite common,...

Read moreThe Unsearchable Riches of Christ
By E.W. Bullinger An excerpt from Things to Come Vol. VIII, No. 6 – December 1901 These words are usually taken, like so many others, apart from their context; and thus, are diverted from their true interpretation, which is determined by the context in which we find them (Ephesians 3:8). They are usually taken as applying to the inexhaustible riches which are treasured up in Christ the “Head,” for all the members of His body; and not dispensationally. That there are these riches thus treasured up is most blessedly true. But the...

Read moreThe Royal Road to Holiness
By E.W. Bullinger An excerpt from Things to Come Vol. VI, No. 4 – October 1899 Man is by his fallen nature selfish; and therefore is necessarily prone to be occupied with himself. And even Christians, who possess a New nature, are not free from this ever present temptation. This is bad enough in itself and in its results; but, when it is substituted for occupation with Christ, then a double evil result follows: the true way is forsaken, and peace is lost; the false way is taken, and...

by E. W. Bullinger An excerpt from Things to Come Vol. VII, No. 2 – August 1900 “Behold, what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God” (I John 3:1). Notice in these wondrous words: THE DIVINE COMMAND “Behold!” It is not mere interjection, but a verb; an imperative command. Look! See! Observe! Notice! This word “Behold” seems to be specially associated with the Holy Spirit; for it is He who thus calls our attention to what He is about to write and...

Food For the Inner Man Excerpt for Autobiography of George Mueller (1805-1898) While I was staying at Nailsworth, it pleased the Lord to teach me a truth, irrespective of human instrumentality, as far as I know, the benefit of which I have not lost, though now…more than forty years have since passed away. The point is this: I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day, to have MY SOUL HAPPY IN THE LORD. The first thing to...

Read moreMoo Moo Lips & Thanksgiving
By Bob Lindfelt While preparing for a teaching on Thanksgiving, I discovered a most unusual, yet fascinating Scripture. To appreciate this verse and subsequently apply it in your life, it requires a little background on Old Testament ways of expressing thankfulness to God. As a result of the fall of man with Adam, man required a perfect,…
The "Treasure" the "Vessel" and the "Power"
The "Treasure," the "Vessel," and the "Power" by E. W. Bullinger “We have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us” (2 Corinthians 4:7). The one object of the Epistles to the Corinthians is to turn away the mind and the thoughts from the agents whom God condescends to use, and to direct the…
Praises in the Psalms
PRAISES IN THE PSALMS by Jan Magiera The Psalms is called the book of praises, sepher tehillim. Tehillim is defined as “all that is worthy of praise and celebration.” What is worthy of praise? The answer is the pervading theme of the Psalms - the works and ways of the Lord (Jehovah). Psalm 1 sets the pattern of emphasis throughout the whole…
Prayer
excerpt from THINGS TO COME No. 115 JANUARY 1904. Vol. X. No. 7. by E. W. Bullinger PRAYER Prayer is the breath of the New Nature; as the Word of God is its food. In the natural world of physiology, we do not concern ourselves with the phenomena of digestion, but with the obtaining and partaking of our food. It is a sign of…
All in All
by E. W. Bullinger An excerpt from Things to Come Vol. V, No. 8 - February 1899 The expression “all in all” is elliptical. The figure of speech here used is fully explained and exemplified, as used throughout Scripture, in “Figures of Speech,” a new work by Dr. Bullinger, now in course of publication. In supplying the words omitted in the “ellipsis” the…
Shepherd and Sheepfold
EVERYDAY LIFE IN THE HOLY LAND by James Neil Chapter 4 There are no pastures in Palestine as we understand them. Throughout the East grass is never sown or cultivated, and is never made into hay. Where we use hay, they feed with teben, “crushed straw,” and give barley to horses instead of oats. It was just the same in Bible times, for…
Practical Power of Our Hope
by E. W. Bullinger An excerpt from Things to Come Vol. II. No. 2 – November 1894 The return of our Lord from heaven and the hope we have in Him is the most practical subject in the Word of God. We know that those who hold this hope are looked upon, by those who are strangers to it, as being fanatics…
The Fig the Olive and the Vine
by E. W. Bullinger An excerpt from Things to Come Vol. II, No. 2 - August 1895 The symbolic, typical, and figurative teaching of God’s Word is an inexhaustible source of delight to those who meditate on it day and night, and who ponder over the infinite beauties and varieties of the written thoughts and wisdom of Him whose words are full of…
Languages of the Bible
by Jan Magiera The Bible is an eastern book and was written by eastern people. “The prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost” (II Peter 1:21). These “holy men” spoke three main languages, which are Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek. If we want to…
