Do you tremble at God’s Word? as those who call themselves by His name are commanded to do. Is your reverence toward God such that your spirit is stirred at the sight of a Bible? Do you look forward to studying the Scriptures each day? If so, you are walking in the direction of God’s […]

    In that God’s dealings with ancient Israel were recorded for “our instruction” (1 Cor. 10:11), and in that the writings of the prophets, along with those of the apostles, form the foundation of the New Covenant Church (Eph. 2:20), what was written in olden times applies directly to today’s end time church. God’s […]

Of those who trembled at God’s Word in the past, some believers in the Church of Corinth were undoubtedly among the most serious as the Apostle Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 7:9-11.

God identifies a saint as one who “trembles before My Word.” This is one who shows ultimate reverence toward it and affords it the same exalted status that He does.

The Lord has one last point to make in His Matthew 7 discourse concerning false prophets and those who follow them. “Many will say to Me on that (judgment) day, ‘Lord, Lord,’ have we not prophesied (preached) in Your name? and in Your name have cast out devils? and in Your name have done many […]

God has much to say about false prophets. In previous postings He has shown us how to identify them. We will now return to Matthew 7 where we find Him speaking about them and those who follow them. “Not every one that says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord’ (calls Him their Lord) will enter the kingdom […]

Speaking to His disciples in Matthew 7, Jesus describes His people as spiritual fruit “trees” who produce spiritual “fruit.” However, as He also pointed out, Satan’s people are also spiritual fruit trees who produce spiritual fruit. The difference lies in the types of “trees” involved and the types of “fruit” produced. What Jesus says about […]
