Peter had the distinct privilege of being one of the few people who witnessed a glimpse of Christ's heavenly majesty and eternal glory which He laid aside so that by faith in His sacrificial death and glorious Resurrection, we might receive salvation. And so, it is not surprising that the burning desire of Peter's heart was to communicate the matchless majesty of the Person of Christ to the Christians to whom he was writing ~ and to ALL who would come to faith in Him.

Inspired by the jihadist success in Syria, the "January 25 Revolutionaries Movement" was established yesterday in Egypt, with the goal of overthrowing al-Sisi’s regime and establishing an Islamist regime in Egypt similar to Syria.
The movement is secretly headed by former Al-Qaeda terrorist Ahmed Mansour (pictured), who fought in Syria, the movement has announced that it will begin fighting the existing regime. Those encouraging them are Qatar (Al Jazeera), the "Muslim Brotherhood," and Turkey (with a gun on the table).

Although Christ was the eternal Son of God, we discover Him to be the humble servant of God Who walked in spirit and truth, lived in humble submission to the leading and guidance of the Holy Spirit, and became servant of all. And all who believe on Him should not perish but be saved by grace through faith in Him. The gospel of Jesus Christ continues to this day, and we who have trusted in Him as Saviour have been made ministers of this good news. Let us tell abroad the glorious truth of the gospel of our Saviour Jesus Christ Who gave His life as a ransom for many.

All false doctrines have thee things in common. One, canonizing an extrabiblical presupposition above the Bible itself. Two, ignoring a vast amount of contrary information. Three, embracing a narrative which authorizes them to ignore the contrary information they are ignoring.
Christ's miraculous signs and great wonders were a further undeniable stamp of His God~given authority and Messianic claims, but perhaps the most authoritative witness of all is the completed Old Testament Scriptures. Beginning with Moses and all the prophets, these sacred writings, which were inspired by God's Holy Spirit, are the most compelling testimony to the deity of Christ and His redeeming role ~ for all with eyes to see.

We wait for a Saviour Whom we know personally, to come in the clouds, with the trump of God, and the voice of the archangel. He is coming to take us to the place that He has prepared for us, for which we praise His holy name. And at the same time, Israel waits for their God and Messiah to return to the earth to rescue them from their enemies and to set up His millennial rule in Jerusalem, when they will say: "Lo, this is our God, we have waited for Him and He will save us. This is Jehovah and we have waited for Him. We will be glad and rejoice in His salvation."

Reports are circulating that Hamas has accepted the ceasefire agreement. This is not exactly true. The political arm of Hamas in Qatar has apparently accepted the deal. There is no guarantee that the military branch of Hamas, which is in Gaza, will accept the deal. Time will tell. They have balked at every deal offered so far that doesn't include Israel leaving Gaza entirely. But DJT may force Israel to comply with it, regardless of whether or not the military arm of Hamas agrees. While ostensibly bad from a tactical perspective, this won't be as bad as it looks. It is mostly political optics.

It is by the blood of Jesus that we, who were once far off, have come nigh unto God. It is by His blood we have boldness to enter the throne~room of God. He made peace with God on our account by the offering of Himself on the Cross, and the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
Just as blood is required to maintain the life of mortal man so the Holy Spirit is required to maintain the life of the one who has been saved by grace through faith in Christ; for we have been given His life in us.

We can never learn how to speak as unto the Lord by a 12~step programme designed by man, train ourselves to always say the right thing, try to copy the words that other people speak, or even parrot the words of the Lord Jesus Himself. But a life that is lived seeking the Lord with all their heart ~ a life that is submitted to the leading of the Holy Spirit ~ a life lived with ears open to hear His Word and eyes open to see His truth, will be a life that speaks the truth in love, with gracious speech and seasoned with salt.

Denial of Christ equates to the denial of the Father. To honour One without honouring the Other is a biblical impossibility, and anyone who claims to know or reverence the Father without giving co~equal glory and respect to the Son, can only be branded a deceiver and a liar whose testimony is false. May we take this warning to heart, reject any teaching or teacher who does not hold to the Word of Scripture, and may we confess in our heart that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God, knowing: "Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father; but the one who confesses the Son has the Father also."

Let us make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification. Let us aim for harmony in the Church and try to build each other up in our most holy faith. Let us follow after the things which make for peace so that we may edify one another, and let us pursue what promotes a godlike tranquillity in the Body of Christ and build up one another in godly grace.
In essential doctrine, may there be unity. In non~essential doctrine, may we demonstrate tolerance. In all doctrine, may we be those that show Christ's love.

When men say things like "I don't trust modern scholars," or "I trust my Holy Spirit leading over dead scholarship," or "I want the living Spirit not the dead letter,"my red flags go up. Decades of experience have taught me that these men have embraced a narrative that they can't defend with objective facts and the historical-grammatical hermeneutic alone. They need subjective "facts" and rhetoric.

John 3:16
For God - the greatest being
So - the greatest degree
Loved - the greatest affection
The world - the greatest object of love
That He gave - the greatest act
His only - the greatest treasure
Begotten - the greatest relationship
Son - the greatest gift
That whosoever - the greatest company
Believeth- the greatest trust
In Him - the greatest object of faith
Should not perish - the greatest deliverance
But have - the greatest assurance
Everlasting - the greatest promise
Life - the greatest blessing
“Each word is the superlative use… such incredible power.”
