John R. Rice Quotes of the Week

It is not enough to know the Bible; the Pharisees knew it but didn't follow it. - John R. Rice

 It is not enough to know the Bible; the Pharisees knew it but didn't follow it. - John R. Rice

Self-will is the greatest single obstacle to understanding of the Word of God (John 3:19-21; 7:17). The whole heather world lost the knowledge of God that all the race once had because they were not willing to follow the light that they had (Rom. 1:18-32). We ought to have an eagerness to go anywhere, do anything, leave anything that the Bible commands us to. - John R. Rice

A Christian can be a good Christian only in proportion as he comes to know and love and follow, from his heart and not only from his head, the blessed Word of God. - John R. Rice

There is a blessed promise of certain and complete prosperity to everyone who meditates day and night and delights in the Word of God. - John R. Rice

I am shocked to find that most Christians have never even one time read the Bible through! How can they hope to have the power of God? In the name of Jesus Christ, who so loved the Scriptures and commands us to live by every word of them, I charge you to begin this very day to live in the Word of God, to meditate in the Scriptures day and night, to follow them any way they lead you, at any cost in the world, to make them your joy and delight forever! - John R. Rice

God is able! He is abundantly able! He is exceeding abundantly able! He is exceeding abundantly able above all that we ask or think! So declares the infallible Word of God! - John R. Rice

Christ's suffering went beyond what we can even think. So forgiveness and salvation are easier to receive than any of us are willing to believe. - John R. Rice

                                                                                                        Pastor Rick Jackson

JEREMIAH 29:11 For I know the thoughts (well devised plans) that I think (weave) toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.

I. THOUGHTS OF PEACE

1. Peace From God [Acts 10:36, Rm. 1:7]

2. Peace With God [Rm. 5:1]

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ:

3. Peace of God [Phil. 4:7, Col. 3:15]

- And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

- And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

II. NOT THOUGHTS OF EVIL

Not evil in the sense of sinful, but evil in the sense of something unpleasant happening to you. But just because God doesn’t want to do this does not mean He will not do this.

-Ezekiel 18:32 For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord GOD: wherefore turn yourselves, and live ye.

-Ezekiel 33:11 Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord GOD, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?

1. Disobedience brings “Evil” [Jer. 4:4-6]

Circumcise yourselves to the LORD, and take away the foreskins of your heart, ye men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem: lest my fury come forth like fire, and burn that none can quench it, because of the evil of your doings. Declare ye in Judah, and publish in Jerusalem; and say, Blow ye the trumpet in the land: cry, gather together, and say, Assemble yourselves, and let us go into the defenced cities. Set up the standard toward Zion: retire, stay not: for I will bring evil from the north, and a great destruction.

2. Not Listening/Responding brings “Evil” [Jer. 35:17]

Therefore thus saith the LORD God of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring upon Judah and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evil that I have pronounced against them: because I have spoken unto them, but they have not heard; and I have called unto them, but they have not answered.

3. Ignoring God brings Punishment [Jer. 36:31]

And I will punish him and his seed and his servants for their iniquity; and I will bring upon them, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and upon the men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced against them; but they hearkened not.

III. AN EXPECTED (hoped for) END

1. A Foretold End [Is. 46:10]

Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

2. An Established End [Micah 4:1]

But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.

3. An Eternally Blessed End [Ps. 17:15, 62:5, 1 Cor. 15:24-28]

-As for me, I will behold thy face in righteousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, with thy likeness.

- My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him.

The pro-life position is the only one consistent with the testimony of Scripture. God's Word makes it abundantly clear that unborn children are people, made in the image of God and therefore have unique dignity and value. Their personhood and status as image bearers of their Creator begin at the very moment of fertilization.   And that's one of the reasons why many Christians are now involved in what's called embryo adoption, but why do many in the medical community have issues with it?

I replied, "You do nearly kill yourself reading the Bible, don't you?"
