Did Enoch & Elijah really die?

By Mark Seay

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org





... or have we been taught this because it’s easy to disregard portions of God’s Word?



Let’s face it. Whether it’s an unintentional misrepresentation or simply tradition (remember Santa?); the truth is, nevertheless, the truth!



Christ had to die on a cross!!



Some may not see the character of God in such a statement, but God, although capable of any… Continue

One of the most remarkable pieces of evidence disproving evolution is the “Cambrian Explosion” Most textbooks never mention it, and the ones that do relegate it to a short phrase or paragraph as if it is some insignificant detail. This phenomenon is so pronounced in the fossil record that Scientific American called it “life’s big bang.” It is considered one of the biggest challenges to evolutionary theory. Many reputable and highly accomplished scientists at major accredited universities… Continue

“To suppose thatwhatever God requireth of us that we have power of ourselves to do, is to make the cross and grace of Jesus Christ of none effect.” -John Owen



"...if anyone makes the assistance of grace depend on the humility or obedience of man and does not agree that it is a gift of grace itself that we are obedient and humble, he contradicts the Apostle who says, "What have you that you did not receive?" (1 Cor. 4:7), and, "But by the grace of God I am what I am" (1 Cor. 15:10).… Continue

To Give Or Not To Give

By Mark Seay

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org





The standard for giving under the Old Testament law was the tithe.



Each person was expected to give the first 10% of his income, as well as his livestock and his crops, to God (Leviticus 27:30-33; Malachi 3:8; Luke 18:11-12). People were obligated to tithe under the law of Moses. This changed after Jesus' death because His sacrifice satisfied all of the requirements of the law (Matthew… Continue

WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND!

One day a man saw an old lady stranded on the side of the road,

even in the dim light of dusk he could see she had needed help.

So he pulled up in front of her Mercedes and got out. His old car

was still sputtering when he approached her. Even with a smile

on his face she was worried, no one had stopped to help for her

in the last hour or so, was he going to hurt her? He didn't really

look… Continue

Capturing His Presence Through Truth and My Unworthy Rants

By Mark Seay

"And she named the child Ichabod, saying, 'The glory is departed from Israel: because the ark of God was taken, and because of her father in law and her husband.' And she said, 'the glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken' " (1 Samuel 4:21-22 KJV).



This was a sad day for the nation of Israel. The ark represented the presence of God in their… Continue

"For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse" (Romans 1:20 NIV). Yes, we will all be held accountable. Failing to believe or acknowledge God will leave many atheists without an excuse before a Holy God.



Atheism is defined as "not… Continue

The Stock Boy & the Checkout Girl

By Mark Seay

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org





In a supermarket, Kurtis, the stock boy, was busily working when a new voice came over the loud speaker asking for a carry out at register 4. Kurtis was almost finished, and he wanted to get some fresh air. So he decided to answer the call. As he approached the checkout stand, a distant smile caught his eye. “The new checkout girl is beautiful,” he thought to himself. She was an older… Continue

My Prayer Request for 2009 and Beyond

By Mark Seay

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~



Dear brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus,



As I recall the Genesis account of Noah and the Flood. Mankind's

wickedness and violence precipitated a cataclysmic reaction from

God. That was a lot of rain!



I was reminded at a most basic level that it matters how human beings

think, live, and act. More… Continue

Notes from "Amazing Grace" (Disc 2):

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org





Martin Luther once said, "We should never do anything that isn't needful to our neighbors. The first fruit of

the gospel is love, not only righteousness."



We should see prayer and evangelism as a privelege instead of a necessity. It has been argued by Arminian

that the Doctrines of Grace undermine the need for evangelism. However, the greatest evangelists in the

history of the world… Continue

Notes from "Amazing Grace" (Disc 1):

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org



Monergism can be defined as God simply 'doing it all'. Synergism is God and man working together which is 'works-based' (Pelagian or Semi-Pelagian). Man can not please God through works - just faith which is freely given by Grace. " ...all our righteousness is like filthy rags, ..." (Isaiah 64:6).



One should ask: "Who gets the glory for our salvation?". God.

"And what % of that glory does He get or… Continue

*[Excerpt from R.C. Sproul]

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org



One of the most dramatic moments in my life for the shaping of my theology took place in a seminary classroom. One of my professors went to the blackboard and wrote these words in bold letters: "Regeneration Precedes Faith."



These words were a shock to my system. I had entered seminary believing that the key work of man to effect rebirth was faith. I thought that we first had to believe in Christ in order to be… Continue
