I NEEDED THE QUIET

by Alice H. Mortenson

I needed the quiet so he drew me aside 
Into the shadows where we could confide, 
Away from the bustle where all the day long 
I hurried and worried when active and strong. 

I needed the quiet tho at first I rebelled, 
But gently, so gently my cross he upheld, 
And whispered so sweetly of spiritual things, 
Tho weakened in body, my spirit took wings 
To heights never heard of when active and gay, 
He loved me so greatly he drew me away. 

I needed the quiet, no prison my bed, 
But a beautiful valley of blessings instead – 
A place to grow richer in Jesus to hide 
I needed the quiet so he drew me aside.

START WALKING

                                                           

Galatians 5:16

Pastor Rick Jackson [inspired by the late Sumner Wemp]

"My word, WHAT A PROMISE. He did not say you won’t have any desires of the flesh but you won’t fulfill them! One of the GREATEST NEEDS in the church today is for ALL OF US to learn how, and, to walk, in the Spirit." - Sumner Wemp

I. OUR PURPOSE - WALK WITH GOD [GN. 5:21-24; 6:9]

1. It is a Walk of Fellowship [1 Jn. 1:1-7]

2. It is a Walk of Failure [1 Jn. 1:8-10]

3. It is a Walk of Faithfulness [1 Jn. 1:9; 2:1-6]

II. OUR PATTERN - WALK AFTER CHRIST [1 Jn. 2:6]

1 Peter 2:21 For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow his steps:

1. Walk in Love [Eph. 5:1-2]

2. Walk in Light [Eph. 5:8-14, 1 Jn. 1:7]

3. Walk in the Lord [Eph. 5:8, 14-20]

III. OUR POWER - WALK IN THE SPIRIT [Eph. 5:18]

Galatians 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

"Too many try to "run the race" without learning to "walk in the Spirit" first. The Christian life is a walk, not one giant step... You don't have to live a roller coaster life, up one minute and down the next. A child takes one step, but he hasn't learned to walk. He is going to stumble scores of time before he stays on his feet and even then, he will stumble from time to time. So, it is with the Christian walk. The Spirit-filled Christian will keep going and growing, up and up, with much smaller bumps along the way." - Sumner Wemp

Remember "PAY"

1. "P"- "Present your body as a living sacrifice" [Rom. 12:1, 2]

I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

2. "A"- "Ask," for "if we ask anything according to His will, we have it" [1 Jn. 5:14, 15]

And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.

3. "Y"- "Yield your members unto God." [Rom. 6:13]

Neither yield ye your members as instruments of unrighteousness unto sin: but yield yourselves unto God, as those that are alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness unto God.


Consciously, continuously and constantly do this all through the day and you will see the "fruit of the Spirit" growing in your life! [Gal. 5:22-26]

I Can't Pray Like That

Recently had someone send me a letter in which they asked me to pray for them about a certain matter, in a certain way, and quite frankly - I can't pray like that.

They already made a bad decision. They already decided what they are going to do, now they want God's blessings on it, with God's people praying that God will help them as they go further away from what they should probably be doing. I can't pray like that.

It would be like praying for Jonah to have a good journey as he sails to Tarshish instead of Nineveh. I can't pray like that.

They didn't ask for counsel from God's Word. They made a decision and then wanted prayer as they went off without counsel.  I can't pray like that.

Some time ago I suggested to them about another matter that they seek the counsel of a wise, former pastor's wife they knew and the look on their face was if I had slapped them. I think they knew what she would say but that was not what they wanted to hear. I can't pray like that.

It would be like praying for God to bless Rehoboam after he takes the advice of spiritually bereft individuals instead of the wise counsel offered by his father's counselors.  I can't pray like that.

LIARS AND THEIR LYING LIES



Rev. 21:8, 27; 22:14-17

Pastor Rick Jackson

I. THE SOURCE OF LIES

1. Satan [John 8:44, 1 Timothy 4:1-2]

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.
Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

2. Self, i.e., the Sin Nature [Psalm 58:3, Jer. 17:9]

The wicked are estranged from the womb: they go astray as soon as they be born, speaking lies.
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

3. Society, i.e., the World [1 Jn. 2:15-22]

Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever. Little children, it is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt have continued with us: but they went out, that they might be made manifest that they were not all of us. But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and ye know all things. I have not written unto you because ye know not the truth, but because ye know it, and that no lie is of the truth. Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.

II. THE SERIOUSNESS OF LYING

1.It is Against the Ten Commandments [Ex. 20:16]

Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour.

2. God Hates Lying [Prov. 6:16-19]

These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren.

3. The Penalty for Lying is Severe [Proverbs 19:5,9]

A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall perish.

III. THE SOLUTION TO LYING

1. Confess the Saviour [Rm. 10:9-13]

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

2. Confess the Sin [1 Jn. 1:8-10]

If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.

3. Call It What It Is [Proverbs 26:19, 28:13, Ephesians 4:25]

So is the man that deceiveth his neighbour, and saith, Am not I in sport?
He that covereth his sins shall not prosper: but whoso confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy.

Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.

What Will Happen on September 23, 2017?
Prophecy in the Stars?
Recently at Answers in Genesis, we have begun to get inquiries about a supposed event of great prophetic significance on September 23 of this year. Many videos on the Internet are promoting this. On this date, the sun will be in the constellation Virgo (the virgin), along with the moon near Virgo's feet. Additionally, Jupiter will be in Virgo, while the planets Venus, Mars, and Mercury will be above and to the right of Virgo in the constellation Leo.

Some people claim that this is a very rare event (allegedly only once in 7,000 years) and that it supposedly is a fulfillment of a sign in Revelation 12. Let's take a look at the evidence.

John R. Rice Quotes of the Week

Some one has foolishly said about salvation, "It is not a sin question; it is the Son question." But it is actually a matter of choice between sin and the Son. A man who never sinned will not need a Saviour. No one can trust Christ for forgiveness without thus acknowledging his sinfulness and turning his heart from sin. There can be no faith without repentance. There can be no consideration of Heaven without facing Hell. There can be no right if there is no wrong. So no one can trust Christ for salvation who does not repent. It is turn or burn. It is repent or perish for every lost person in the world. - John R. Rice

Oh, sinner friend, what is wrong with you is not only your actions and your life, but your heart, your nature, your disposition. Even when you would like to do right, you do not know how, but basically on the great moral question of serving God, your wicked heart wants its own way.
So there is no way we can make some small payment and cover our sins. There is no fine we can pay the Judge and go free. Our attitude toward God is not that of a petty lawbreaker, but of a traitor, of an enemy, an alien, estranged from God, fighting God, running form God!
All that a poor sinner can do to have peace with God is turn his heart from sin and let God fix what the sinner cannot fix. He can hate his sins, but only God can take them away. The sinner can confess and turn his heart from his sin, but only God can make him good. - John R. Rice


At Minneapolis, Minnesota, I sat at the breakfast table in a home where the mother had tried to get her eight-year-old son to eat his food and to behave nicely at the table. He screamed at his mother, "I hate you!"
I told the boy that God said, "He that curseth his father or his mother shall surely be put to death" (Exodus 21:15). That was the way God felt about a boy's rebellious attitude toward his mother.
Turning to me, this eight-year-old hotly said, "I don't want to hear about that!"
And so sinners go away from God because they do not want to hear the Gospel. They do not want their sin reproved; do not want to talk of heavenly things. They are blinded in sin. - John R. Rice


A famine came in the far country [Luke 15:14]. It always does. Sooner or later famine waits for the sinner. Dear lost friend, if you have not come to the famine yet, you will if you go on that road of Christ-rejection. - John R. Rice 

Oh, we should thank God for the famines that come in the land of sin. Maybe otherwise many a prodigal boy would never come to his senses. Oh, thank God that we can find out sooner or later that sin does not pay. Happy are those who do not wait for the bitter dregs of the cup, but repent and seek the Lord before all the poison of the serpent is in their veins and before all the sorrows and want of the famine are experienced! - John R. Rice

The Bible says, "There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked." And the preceding verse says, "But the wicked are like the troubled sea, when it cannot rest, whose waters cast up mire and dirt" (Isa. 57:20, 21). In the heart of the unconverted, in the heart of a lost man or woman is the seed of famine. There is something that muddies all the water or peace, something that brings discord into all the music. There is some clamor of conscience that takes away satisfaction from the music of this world. - John R. Rice 

The only reason everybody in the world does not turn to the Lord Jesus and love Him and trust Him and be saved immediately is that they are blinded in sin. Satan deceives. He is a liar. He makes white seem black. He makes the bad seem good. He promises joy out of things that are certain to bring sorrow. - John R. Rice

BIBLICAL SEPARATION AND FELLOWSHIP


Freely adapted from John R. Rice [https://www.facebook.com/Dr-John-R-Rice-1589630474596652/] and Robert L. Sumner (see Biblical Evangelist link)

I. Fellowship freely with Christians that live by the Word (Ps. 119:63, Eph. 6:23-23)

II. Fellowship carefully with "weak" Christians (Rm. 14:1-8)

III. Do not fellowship with Christians living in outrageous sin (Rm. 13:8-14, I Cor. 5:11-13, Mt. 18:17, Gal. 6:1) [The object being restoration]

IV. Do not "fellowship" with modernists, cultists, and the lost (II Cor. 6:14-18, II Jn. 7-11, I Cor. 5:9-10) [Obviously we can witness to the lost but that is not fellowship.]

THE TRINITY WORKS ON CHRISTIANS THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT






Romans 8:7-9



Pastor Rick Jackson



I. THE TRINITY SEALS CHRISTIANS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT



1. Sealing Designates Ownership [Eph. 1:13-14, 1 Cor. 6:19]



2. Sealing Does Not Become Broken by Sin [Eph. 4:30]



3. Sealing Demonstrates Security [Jn. 6:27, 2 Cor. 1:21-22]



II. THE TRINITY ANOINTS CHRISTIANS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT



1. Jesus Was Anointed by the Father with the Spirit [Luke 4:18, Acts 10:38]



The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,

How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.



2. Jesus Sent Us as the Father Sent Him [John 20:21-22]



Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you. And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:



3. Jesus Has Anointed Us with the Holy Spirit [1 John 2:27]



But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.



III. THE TRINITY ASSURES CHRISTIANS BY THE HOLY SPIRIT [Rm. 8, Gal. 4]



1. He is The Spirit of Adoption [v. 15a] “For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption…”



Galatians 4:4-5 But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons



2. He is The Spirit of Intimacy [v. 15b] “…whereby we cry, Abba, Father.”



Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.



3. He is The Spirit of Assurance [v. 16-25]



The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body. For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

Galatians 4:7 Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ.

The Nerve of some people!

I was in a Subway shop many years ago ordering a chicken teriyaki (low fat) sub with sweet onion sauce (I don't particularly like onions but...wowsers!)when someone walked in behind me. Not unusual right? But they didn't get in line behind me but rather walked over to a table and sat down with a friend (?) who was already seated. The girl waiting on me had a look of disbelief on her face and I turned and immediately saw why. They had a pizza from another store which they were going to eat in the Subway restaurant! They even had the nerve to come ask the other lady working for FREE plasticware (hey, it ain't silver). They didn't even have the common decency to wait and buy their drinks from Subway! Yeppers, they had bought drinks at the other place too! I knew the girl wanted to say something but probably didn't want to alienate potential or even regular customers.
I thought, "The Nerve of some people!" (How quaint!) To abuse the kindness of Subway providing tables, air-conditioning, and of course, free plasticware and napkins and bring in their inferior pizza (it wasn't even name brand). And then... it hit me. How often have I done the same to God? How often have we used God's air, the health He has given us, the resources He has allowed us to accumulate and then spent those resources (money, talents, time, whatever) on the Devil's inferior pastimes, substitutes, and what have you. How often have we squandered what God has given us on the Devil's cheap thrills. The Nerve of some people!

Then there are those who haven't even accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as Saviour, depending only on Him for salvation. They ignore Him or insult Him by thinking they can add to their salvation as if He had not done enough. The songwriter had it right:

I hear the Savior say,
“Thy strength indeed is small;
Child of weakness, watch and pray,
Find in Me thine all in all.”

Refrain

Jesus paid it all,
All to Him I owe;
Sin had left a crimson stain,
He washed it white as snow.

For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim,
I’ll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calv’ry’s Lamb.

Refrain

And now complete in Him
My robe His righteousness,
Close sheltered ’neath His side,
I am divinely blest.

Refrain

Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone,
Can change the leper’s spots
And melt the heart of stone.

Refrain

When from my dying bed
My ransomed soul shall rise,
“Jesus died my soul to save,”
Shall rend the vaulted skies.

Refrain

And when before the throne
I stand in Him complete,
I’ll lay my trophies down
All down at Jesus’ feet.

Refrain

THE DEVIL’S WILL FOR THE CHRISTIAN’S LIFE

                                   

LUKE 22:31-34                                                                   

Pastor Rick Jackson

The Devil has a will for your life! The Devil's will for you is that you never be saved! [2 Co. 4:4] In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
But he has a will for saved people too! See what Jesus told Peter in Lk. 22:31! Peter was God's man in Satan's sifter! The Devil wants to ruin our testimony, wants us to be defeated, discouraged and despondent! Peter knew what that was like and he warned us about it in 1 Pt. 5:8-9 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.

So, what are some characteristics of a backslider that we might avoid them like the plague?

I. PRIDE [Lk. 22:33]

1 Peter 5:5 ... for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
Proverbs 16:18 Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.
Proverbs 21:4 An high look, and a proud heart, and the plowing of the wicked, is sin.

II. PRAYERLESSNESS [Lk. 22:40, 45]

Luke 18:1 And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
James 4:2 ... ye have not, because ye ask not.

III. ACTING WITHOUT THINKING [Lk. 22:50-51, Jn. 18:10]

Mt. 26:52-54 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?


IV. FOLLOWING AFAR OFF [Lk. 22:54]

1 Samuel 14:36 And Saul said, Let us go down after the Philistines by night, and spoil them until the morning light, and let us not leave a man of them. And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good unto thee. Then said the priest, Let us draw near hither unto God.
Saul didn't follow that advice and the consequences weren't good.
James 4:8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.

V. KEEPING WRONG COMPANY [Lk. 22:55]

2 Cor. 6:14-18 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty
Psalm 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

VI. DENY THE LORD (BY LIFE OR LIPS) [Lk. 22:57-60]

Matthew 15:8 This people draweth nigh unto me with their mouth, and honoureth me with their lips; but their heart is far from me.
2 Peter 2:1 But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.
2 Timothy 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.


If you are backsliding in any area come back to the Saviour. Confess that sin as sin and start anew living for the loving Saviour! If you are not a Christian you aren't a backslider, you're lost! Come to the Saviour now!

Bombardier Beetle–The Arsenal Insect
Creationists have frequently pointed to the bombardier beetle as an example of divine design. While God originally proclaimed his creation "very good" (Genesis 1:31), Adam's sin brought death into the world, so God equipped the bombardier beetle with an intricate defense structure.

How could the beetle's complex "ammunition" and "cannon" have evolved, since all the specific ingredients and mechanisms would need to be present at once to work properly?
