John R. Rice Quotes of the Week

Prayer is the normal way for a Christian to have things. I am shocked to find that most Christians - I wonder about you - could not in a year's time remember some definite answer to prayer, a prayer so definitely answered that he and others would know God had miraculously intervened. Oh, Christians ought to daily have prayers answered. "Ye have not, because ye ask not." Prayer is the way for a Christian to get things. - John R. Rice 

To deny the resurrection of Christ is to deny His deity. To deny the resurrection of Christ is to deny historic Christianity. To deny the resurrection of Christ is to deny the Bible. To deny the resurrection of Christ is to place one's self beside the infidels and scoffers. If Bob Ingersoll and Tom Paine were to join a church and put on clerical robes, yet believe and preach their infidelity, that would not make them Christians. So, infidels in the church today are not Christians. Those who deny the resurrection of Jesus Christ deny Christ and Christianity. - John R. Rice

James 5:14-15 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
That Scripture does not say it is always God's will to heal. That Scripture does not say that God will always give the faith to heal. Sometimes God does want a Christian to die and go on to Heaven. Sometimes he is to lie flat on his back and know God is with him and can comfort him in time of sorrow. Sometimes a Christian needs to get things right. Still we are plainly commanded, "Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed" (vs. 16). Christians usually ought to be healed when they are sick. And they ought to pray day by day about health. - John R. Rice

There are some people who cannot pay their bills. They ought to check up and quit spending money they do not have. Perhaps they ought to live a little cheaper. Nobody has a right to spend money he doesn't have. But if a Christian has bills he ought to pay, then he ought to pray about it and get God's help. - John R. Rice

Philippians 4:6-7 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
What does that say? Be anxious for nothing, or be careful for nothing. To be full of care is wrong. It is sin. These Christians who have to have tranquilizing pills, have to have Sominex pills to sleep; these Christians who worry and fret and get high blood pressure and ulcerated stomach - that is wrong. A Christian ought to learn to rest in the Lord and have peace. - John R. Rice


Worry is a "respectable" sin. Nearly everybody worries some. But you ought to admit it is a sin. What is it? It is unbelief. You don't really believe all these promises of God. You don't really think that God is going to take care of you as He said He would, and so you worry and fret. How are you going to cure it?
Take it to God in prayer! Take all your burden and stay there until you can thank Him and come away happy. You don't ever have to worry. You don't ever need to have tension that draws, drains, and kills. A Christian can have peace of mind all the time. Prayer is God's cure for worry. - John R. Rice

You say, "But Brother Rice, I read in a theology book where it said that prayer might mean praise and adoration, thanksgiving, confession, petition, etc." You may have read that in a book, but that is not what the Bible calls prayer. Prayer is the petition part. You say, "Is thanksgiving wrong?" No. We read in Colossians 4:2, "Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving." So prayer goes with thanksgiving. That means thanksgiving is not prayer. It accompanies prayer sometimes. Daniel said in Daniel, chapter 9, "I prayed. . .and made my confession" (vs. 4). What did you do Daniel? "I did two things. I prayed (I asked Him to deliver Israel from bondage), and I made my confession." Confession is good, but it is not prayer. Prayer in the Bible is asking. - John R. Rice

DOES GOD CARE ABOUT YOUR CLOTHES?

GENESIS 3:21, MATT. 6:25-33



Pastor Rick Jackson



Someone said, “Clothes makes the man.” Brother Lester Roloff said, “No, man makes the clothes.”

Benjamin Franklin said, “Eat to please thyself, but dress to please others.“

It was John Wesley who said, “As to the matter of dress, I would recommend one never to be first in the fashion, nor the last out of it.”



I. SOME USES OF EARTHLY GARMENTS



1. Cover [Gn. 3:21, 1 Timothy 2:9-10, Matthew 5:28]



Proponents of nudism often say they want to get back to the way God intended man to be in the Garden of Eden but they have forgotten that was man in a state of innocence, before the fall, without a sin nature. They forget that it was God who introduced viable clothing to the first man and the first woman to be used as a covering.



2. Comfort [II Tm. 4:13]



3. Categorize [II Chr. 18:28-32]



“An emperor in his night-cap would not meet with half the respect of an emperor with a crown.” - Goldsmith



4. Camouflage [Mt. 7:15]



II. SOME LIMITATIONS OF EARTHLY GARMENTS



1. Cannot Cover Sin [Gn. 3:7-10]



2. Cannot Camouflage Us from God [II Chr. 18:15-16, 33-34]



3. Cannot Change Our Nature [Mt. 7:15]



Wearing scrubs doesn’t make you a surgeon, wearing a Superman cape…



III. SPECIAL HEAVENLY GARMENTS WE ALL NEED



1. The Garment of Salvation [Is. 61:10, II Cor. 5:21]



2. The New Nature [Eph. 4:21-32]



3. The Armor of God [Eph. 6:10-18]

Quotes of the Week

There is enough of a revelation of God in creation that it should have kept ancient man from idolatry and modern man from atheism. - J. Vernon McGee

Man's history does not indicate any degree of evolution, but it does declare a sordid record of revolution. - J. Vernon McGee

Men are not saved by the light they have. Men are judged by the light they have. - J. Vernon McGee

A saved sinner has a much in heaven as Christ has, for he has all the merit and righteousness of Christ. - J. Vernon McGee

Justification by faith is not just the subtraction of guilt from the sinner but rather the addition of the righteousness of Christ. It means that God pronounces or declares the sinner righteous because he is in Christ. - J. Vernon McGee

The sinner is declared to be righteous because he is in Christ. The sinner is as much saved the moment he trusts God as he will be a million years from today. This is justification by faith. - J. Vernon McGee

Justification by faith is more than the subtraction of our sin (forgiveness); it is the addition of the righteousness of Christ. We are not merely restored to Adam's former position, but now we are placed in Christ where we shall ever be throughout the endless ages of eternity. - J. Vernon McGee

God saved men on credit in the Old Testament. The penalty was never paid in the Old Testament and the guilt was not removed. There was merely atonement - a covering for sin. It looked as if the justice of God was sleeping. The death of Christ paid the penalty for all the sins of the Old Testament economy. The cross reveals God's righteousness whether men believe or not. It honors God and can save men. - J. Vernon McGee

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. Rm. 5:9
The Believer is delivered from all judgment both present and future, which includes the Great Tribulation. To contend that the Church, which He purchased with His blood, must go through the Great Tribulation is to impugn the doctrine of justification by faith. Justification by faith looks to the future and offers security in Christ, which was made possible by His blood. - J. Vernon McGee

Predestination has application only to those who love God - God's children - and it simply guarantees that God's high and holy purpose will be consummated in them. - J. Vernon McGee

Talking Trees—Secrets of Plant Communication
Are the Trees Keeping Secrets?
Forests are nurseries of health and well-being. New discoveries are showing that this doesn't happen by accident. Stresses constantly threaten to destroy the forest's surface harmony, yet modern scientific research is revealing how marvelously the Creator has equipped His woodlands to respond to these stresses. When the Bible proclaims that "the trees of the woods" give glory to God, this metaphor may be a reality in unexpected ways.

John R. Rice Quotes of the Week

The Holy Spirit is our Prayer-Helper. Romans, chapter 8, says we are to pray, "We know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." He knows what God wants and the blessed Holy Spirit comes and prays for us with groanings that cannot be uttered. Oh, when the Spirit prays for you, then that is real help, isn't it! The Scripture says, "He that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God." Isn't that good! I have the Holy Spirit within me when I come to pray, taking my part in prayer if I let the Spirit guide me. And up in Heaven I have Jesus on the right hand of the Father interceding for me as my High Priest. Blessed Spirit of God within, and blessed Christ in Heaven, both taking the part of Christians here. - John R. Rice

Now, the first thing to remember is the connection of the Holy Spirit with the Great Commission. Jesus said - and He put it here together and no one has a right to separate it - you are to preach the Gospel to the whole world but wait for power. And in Acts 1:8 He said, "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me. . . ." So God put together a command and then He told us about power for that command. Any interpretation of Pentecost that doesn't mean this connection that Jesus put there, is not a good interpretation. It is a false kind of teaching. - John R. Rice

What is the real meaning of Pentecost? The meaning is here. Three thousand people heard the Gospel and wonderfully repented of their sins and were saved. Three thousand people saved in a day - that is a marvelous thing! I someway don't have much patience with people who talk about Pentecost, but don't care about those thousands of people who turned to Jesus and were kept out of Hell forever. You don't know what God is talking about. You are not thinking about what the Bible is talking about. unless you think of Pentecost this way: they had power to go and witness and win souls. They wanted what God said He would give and did give. - John R. Rice

Soul winning is the main thing for Christians. We are to go preach the Gospel to every creature, as commanded in Mark 16:15. "Ye shall be witnesses unto me," Jesus said in Acts 1:8. Revelation 22:17, " . . . Let him that heareth say, Come." People are to be converted and then get baptized, and then we are to teach them 'to observe all things I commanded you apostles to do.' So the one main business for Christians is to get people saved. And the coming of the Holy Spirit with the enduement of power is the equipment we need to win souls. - John R. Rice

I ought to say this also. It is not just one time, for in Acts 2:4 they were filled with the Spirit and won souls. In Acts 4:31 they prayed again and were filled again and won souls. Ephesians 5:18 commands us, "And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit." And in the Greek form, it is in the present tense. What it is really saying is, "Keep on being filled - filled and filled and filled with the Spirit."
I am not talking about one event that happened way back yonder. I am talking about the enduement of power from on High for us today, and tomorrow, and the next day. If I am going to preach, I am going to need power. If I am going to witness again, I need power. If I go to a new place and a new situation, I need power. - John R. Rice


I believe that Jesus was not crucified on Friday, but on Wednesday. Preachers have usually accepted the Roman Catholic teaching that He was crucified on Friday and have never investigated what the Bible teaches on that subject. All Bible evidence proves that Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, buried that night, and arose from the dead some time Saturday night, before sunrise Sunday morning. Remember that the Jewish day began at sundown and the night was counted a part of the following day.
Matthew 12:40 plainly says that Jesus would be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth, or the grave, like Jonah was three days and three nights in the whale's belly. If Jesus were crucified Friday and raised Saturday night, or before sunrise Sunday morning, He would have been in the grave one day and part of two nights. Certainly that would not fulfill His plain promise.
Many people have supposed that John 19:31 was evidence that Jesus was crucified on Friday since the Jews wished to take His body down before the Sabbath. Notice, however, that "that Sabbath day was an high day." It was not an ordinary weekly Sabbath, but an annual Sabbath, the one mentioned in Exodus 12:16. It was a day of rest, the first of seven days of eating of unleavened bread, the day on which the Passover lamb was eaten.
So Jesus was crucified on Wednesday, was taken down from the cross before sunset Wednesday (John 19:31)... Jesus stayed in the grave fully seventy-two hours, three days and three nights, and arose then some time Saturday night, that is, part of Sunday, the first day of the week which began at sundown. - John R. Rice


Now there is some false teaching about Pentecost. One of those teachings is about the origin of the church. Dr. Scofield and the great Scofield Reference Bible, the best reference Bible in the world in many, many ways, has the Plymouth Brethren teaching. That is a mistake based on a misinterpretation of one verse of Scripture. They say the church began at Pentecost. They base that on I Corinthians 12:13, ". . . we are all baptized into one body" by one Spirit. Now Paul is writing to the heathen people at Corinth. They had never even heard of the Gospel at the time of Pentecost. They were not there. They were not even then saved. They didn't hear it before. No, no! That was now what happened.
What happened at Pentecost was, the Christians who waited were filled with the Spirit, covered with the Spirit, immersed in the Spirit, baptized in the Spirit, an enduement of power. There was nothing said in the Scriptures about the origin of the church. Somebody says, "But so many people believe that; and I believe that, too." But the Bible never mentions that the church began at Pentecost. The trouble is, people don't even know what the church is. They are thinking about a combination of all the denominations or something like that. No. - John R. Rice


Sometimes people say, "Well, Pentecost meant sanctification. Oh, you need to get sanctified." Or sometimes they say "the second blessing" and so on. Sometimes they say "a second work of grace," by which they mean that when you are converted, born again, there is a miraculous change. You become regenerated. But in so-called sanctification they say there is another miraculous action by which the carnal nature is burned out and destroyed. That is wrong, or course. In the first place, that does not happen to anybody this side of the rapture or this side of the resurrection, but there is certainly nothing said about that at Pentecost. No. They were endued with power from on High at Pentecost, and they witnessed for Jesus and saw three thousand people saved. Nobody has a right to make that mean something else. - John R. Rice

QUOTES OF THE WEEK

Faith which believeth in Jesus, the first, and last, and only part and act of man in salvation.
God provides salvation as He gives water and man has only to drink; as He provides bread and man has only to eat; as He provided the brazen serpent, and man had only to look; as He provided the sacrificial Lamb upon Calvary and man has only to receive. - J. Frank Norris

The church should be a place where "No man is respected for his wealth or rejected for his poverty." - J. Frank Norris

A dying sinner was once asked if he would not like to be saved. "I certainly would, " he replied; "but," he added earnestly, "I don't want God to do anything wrong in saving me." It was through the letter to the Romans he learned how "God can be just and the Justified of him which believeth in Jesus." You will remember how Socrates expressed himself five hundred years before Christ. "It may be," he said, addressing himself to Plato, "that Deity can forgive sins, but I do not see how." It is this that the Holy Spirit takes up so fully in this Epistle. He shows us that God does not save sinners at the expense of His righteousness. In other words, if saved at all, it will not be because righteousness has been set aside in order that mercy might triumph; but mercy has found a way whereby divine righteousness can be fully satisfied and yet guilty sinners justified before the throne of high heaven. - H.A. Ironside

"As many as have sinned without law shall also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law shall be judged by the law." No principle could be sounder. Men are held responsible for what they know, or might know if they would. They are not condemned for ignorance unless that ignorance be the result of willful rejection of light. "men loved darkness rather than light because their deeds are evil."  - H.A. Ironside

The law promised blessing upon obedience and denounced judgment on disobedience. None have kept it. Therefor, "The law worketh wrath." It cursed. It could not bless. It intensified sin by giving it the specific character of transgression, making it willful violation of known law. It could not be the means of earing what was freely given. [salvation by faith in Christ]  - H.A. Ironside


The paramount difference between Christianity and pagan religions is that Christianity has a God who SHED His blood in love for a lost world, while the pagan gods are continually calling for blood... the blood of the people who worship a stone god that cannot see, hear, nor speak. Our God, gave His own blood -once for all, forever, never to be repeated; but the poor heathen returns again and again and again with blood, blood, and more blood! - Oliver B. Greene

THE ANSWER BOOK

1 Peter 1:22-25, 2:1-3, 3:15, 4:11, 5:1                      

Pastor Rick Jackson [adapted from sources long ago- in other words I don't remember for sure but I think mainly from the Handbook of Personal Evangelism by A. R. Stanford]

For centuries man has asked questions. The great philosophical questions are, "Who am I?" "What am I?" "Why am I here?" "Where am I going?" Man has tried to answer the questions only to come up short time and time again. The answers are of course found in The Answer Book, the Word of God, The Holy Bible. Many laugh and say they have the answers only to realize to late that all they had was more questions. Let's look at the Bible once again and see some answers.

I. THE BIBLE IS NOT A HISTORY TEXTBOOK BUT IT'S THE ONLY BOOK WHOSE HISTORY IS 100% ACCURATE

1. The Bible has been used as a guide by archaeologists and historians (the book of Mormon fails this test)

2. Much of what is now history was prophecy when given in the Bible. When it comes to God's Word, prophecy is history written in advance!

Deut. 18:21, 22, And if thou say in thine heart, How shall we know the word which the Lord hath NOT spoken? When a prophet speaketh in the Name of the Lord, if the thing FOLLOW NOT, NOR COME TO PASS, that is the thing which the Lord hath NOT spoken, but the prophet hath spoken it presumptuously: thou shalt not be afraid of him.

Ezek. 12:25, For I am the Lord: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak SHALL COME TO PASS

Isaiah 46:9, 10 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like Me, 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.

John 14:29, And now I have told you BEFORE it come to pass, that WHEN IT IS COME TO PASS, ye might believe.

Isaiah 48: 3-5, I have declared the former things from the beginning; and they went forth out of my mouth, and I SHEWED THEM: I DID THEM suddenly, and THEY CAME TO PASS. Because I knew that thou art obstinate, and thy neck is an iron sinew, and thy brow brass, I have even FROM THE BEGINNING declared it to thee; BEFORE IT CAME TO PASS, I shewed it thee; lest thou shouldest say, Mine idol hath done them, and my graven image, and my molten image, hath commanded them.

"EVERYTHING that the Bible said would happen up to this point HAS HAPPENED! History itself has already proven the Bible to be the Word of God." Handbook of Personal Evangelism

3. These prophecies are specific, reliable, and verifiable. The prewritten history of the world given in Daniel, the history of the Jewish people, the "address" of the Messiah, just to name three general topics that prove to the sincere seeker the Bible has the answer!

"Suppose," says Dr. Olinthus Gregory, "that there were only 50 prophecies in the Old Testament (instead of 333) concerning the first advent of Christ, giving details of the coming Messiah and all meet in the person of Jesus . . . the probability of chance fulfillment as calculated by mathematicians according to the theory of probabilities is less than one in [one quadrillion, 125 trillion) 1,125,000,000,000,000. Now add only two more elements to these 50 prophecies, and fix the TIME and the PLACE at which they must happen and the immense improbability that they will take place by chance exceeds all the power of numbers to express . . ." (Messiah in Both Testaments, by Meldau, page eight).

II. THE BIBLE IS NOT A SCIENCE TEXTBOOK, BUT IT'S THE ONLY BOOK WHOSE SCIENCE IS 100 % ACCURATE!

A few examples should suffice:

Lev. 17:11 -blood is necessary for life

Job 25:5 -the moon doesn't have its own light

Job 26:7 -empty place in the north

Job 26:7 -earth is hung on nothing

Job 28:5 -the earth has lava inside

Job 28:25 -air has weight

Ps. 8:8 -ocean currents

Ecc. 1:6 -the wind travels in circuits

Is. 40:22 -earth is spherical

Is. 50:3 -Heavens are black

Jer. 6:22 -The earth has sides (not flat like a plate)

Jer. 33 :22 -The stars cannot be numbered

Lk 17:34-36 -rotation of the earth

I Cor. 15:39 -all "flesh" is different

Heb. 1:2 -multiple planets

III. THE BIBLE IS GOD'S WORD AND TELLS US THE ANSWERS TO THE GREAT QUESTIONS

1. Man was created by God [Gn. 1]

2. Man sinned [Rm. 5:12, 3:23]

3. Man is either going to Hell or Heaven [Rm. 6:23]

4. Man must accept Christ and His Work to go to Heaven [Rm. 5:8, 10:9-13]
