The Heidelberg Catechism - The Foundations Of Our Faith

1. Q. What is your only comfort in life and death? A. That I am not my own,1 but belong with body and soul, both in life and in death,2 to my faithful Saviour Jesus Christ.3 He has fully paid for all my sins with his precious blood,4 and has set me free from all the power of the devil.5 He also preserves me in such a way6 that without the will of my heavenly Father not a hair can fall from my head;7 indeed, all things must work together for my salvation.8 Therefore, by his Holy Spirit he also assures me of eternal life9 and makes me heartily willing and ready from now on to live for him.10 1 1 Cor 6:19, 20.    2 Rom 14:7-9. 3 1 Cor 3:23; Tit 2:14. 4 1 Pet 1:18, 19; 1 Jn 1:7; 2:2. 5 Jn 8:34-36; Heb 2:14, 15; 1 Jn 3:8. 6 Jn 6:39, 40; 10:27-30; 2 Thess 3:3; 1 Pet 1:5. 7 Mt 10:29-31; Lk 21:16-18. 8 Rom 8:28. 9 Rom 8:15, 16; 2 Cor 1:21, 22; 5:5; Eph 1:13, 14. 10Rom 8:14.         Sermon https://youtu.be/-pixMjQUoqg   Bible Study Questions: Concerning this comfort of Assurance of Salvation we

Daniel 12   God's Sovereignty gives stability  in terrible times. 1 "At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge." 5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank. 6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long will i

Charles Hodge on the conduct of the members in the Northhampton church written in his Constitutional History...," In 1749, when it became known that ,(Jonathan) Edwards had adopted the opinion that none ought to be admitted to the Lord's Supper but such as gave satisfactory evidence of conversion, "the town was put into a great ferment; and before he was heard in his own defence, or it was known by many what his principles were, the general cry was to have him dismissed." That diversity of opinion between a pastor and his people on such a practical point, should lead to a desire for a separation, might not be very discreditable to either party. But when it is known, that on this occasion the church treated such a man as Edwards, who not only was an object of veneration to the Christian public, but who behaved in the most Christian manner through the whole controversy, with the greatest injustice and malignity, it must be regarded as proof positive of the low state of

  Greetings Steve, The outlines that are presented today are part of a series called, "The Bible Says." This is a series filled with vitality and variety. " Vitality " and " Variety " are two important words for any series of messages. Every message preached must be vital to the audience and presented in that fashion. God's Word is vital and God's Word presents vital  truth on all the matters that it addresses. At the same time, the Scriptures are glorious in the variety of human authors who write, the literary genres presented, specific doctrines taught, and gospel truths proclaimed - all aspects of the Revelation of the One True God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Variety in Unity. The title " The Bible Says " is a reminder to us that we need to seek what the Bible says on any given subject. This seeking or study needs to be done prayerfully, carefully, and with the illumination of the Holy Spirit. It is helpful to think in terms of t

I sprawled out on the beach on the edge of the surf exhausted after surf board riding a couple of years ago. Two groups of beach walking people asked if they could call an ambulance for me. This is a great example of common grace causing folks to act kindly and lovingly to beached whales like me.

Daniel 10 The Peek Behind The  Curtain Abraham Kuyper If once the curtain were pulled back, and the spiritual world behind it came to view, it would expose to our spiritual vision a struggle so intense, so convulsive, sweeping everything within its range, that the fiercest battle ever fought on earth would seem, by comparison, a mere game. Not here, but up there—that is where the real conflict is waged. Loading… Background • 536 BC.  • Its message was true and it concerned a great war.
