His ways are not our ways...

An old saying goes that God moves in mysterious ways and that we all know for sure. Today, when opening my e-mail and to my surprise an e-mail from www.blessedhats.com stated that 10% of its sales from its version of the Aretha's Inauguration hat would be benefiting the ministry God led me start, Delivered Out Ministries, which reaches out to survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault.

His ways are truly not our ways and His thoughts are not our thoughts. He works in ways we… Continue

Learn To Share With Nonbelievers

By Mark Seay

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org

"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 having a… Continue

The Study on the Pre-Sinaitic Existence of the Law

The Moral Law of God - Before Sinai

The study on the pre-Sinaitic existence of the law

Its universal acknowledgement and practice from Eden to Sinai

In the beginning the Lord God created Adam, the federal head of mankind, in His own image, Gen. 1:27. Adam in His pristine condition was wholly inclined toward God, and His law was the way of his life. The Scripture goes on to teach that the moral law of God was to continue from the Garden of Eden to the giving of… Continue

Plurality of Elders not the Single Pastor is the Biblical Model For Church Government

Most, not all, Protestant churches have patterned their church government after the Roman Catholic Church, which was presided over by a priest. The Biblical model for church government was through a plurality of elders. This was the ancient model for the Jewish synagogue after which the NT church was originally patterned.

The Biblical evidence:

HEB. 8:8b ".... I will establish a new covenant with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah'

Hebrews 8:8b

The days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will establish a New Covenant with the *House of Israel and with the House of Judah*.

According to the OT in Jer. 31 and the NT in Hebrews 8, the New Covenant was to be made with the House of Israel and with the House of Judah*.

The proponents of "replacement theology" have in their minds, deleted "Israel and Judah", from the "New Covenant" and inserted "The Church" as… Continue

My Prayer Request for 2009 and Beyond

By Mark Seay

www.LighthousePrayerLine.org

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

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

A Kingdom Divided

Kindom Divided

In the book of Matthew 12:25 Jesus States "every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation;and every city or house divided against itself shall not stand.

Once again I'm taking the time to talk to the church that I love. Jesus gave Peter the keys to the Kingdom not the church. When did we move from kingdom to church. When you are church its easy to be divided. Isolated and Insulated. Are you Kingdom minded or Church minded?

Kingdom… Continue

Can You Grow Anywhere?

There are “wildflowers” that grow in their natural state rather than being cultivated in the parks or gardens, yet, they tell of the splendor and brilliance of God’s glorious design. While not all “wildflowers” are bad, God has placed them in unique places, i.e. highways and by-ways, meadows, pastures, and fields. Remarkably, they can also be found in remote and secluded territory.

The Lily of the Valley is a type of believer that grows in the deep and difficult places of… Continue

What is sin?

WHAT IS SIN?

Sin is terrible--it separates us from God. Give sober attention to this study, applying it to your own life.

The Meaning of Sin. "Every one who sins breaks the law, in fact, sin is lawlessness" (1 John 3:4). You can see from this scripture that sin is anything which is opposed to God's law. In other words, anything which goes against the teachings of the gospel (the New Testament) is sin. Here's the way John said it: "All wrongdoing is sin..." (1 John 5:17).… Continue
