“ His Coming for the Saints ”
Pastor Denis Lyle explains the mystery of the blessed hope, the greatest comfort after salvation, the rapture of the church, and the second coming of Jesus Christ, what Satan does not want doubting souls to believe: Maranatha, the Lord is coming, for His saints, and His return is imminent, "In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump" (1 Cor. 15:52).
"(16) For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: (17) Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. (18) Wherefore comfort one another with these words" (1 Thess. 4:16-18).
Truly, the mystery of the blessed hope, the greatest comfort after salvation, the rapture of the church, and the second coming of Jesus Christ are for the saved and born again believers in the Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, His saints.
As sheep of the good shepherd, we rest assured in these precious truths and promises.
May the gravity of these precious truths and promises precipitate a renewed fervency in the church and greater exploits for the cause of Christ, for the days are evil and the time is short. |

“ Biblical principles ”
Reverend Wesley Graham presents a series of Biblical principles in this touching message about God's intervention in the life of the prophet Elijah after he ran for his life and then hid in a cave. First, God is sovereign and knows where Man is at every single moment. Second, Man has the capacity to think and the responsibility to make decisions about what to do and where to go. Third, Man can become fearful, take his eyes off God, get distracted, and land himself and other people out of the will of God if he is not careful (i.e. prayerful). Nevertheless, when Man runs for his life and lands himself in a tight spot, God mercifully pursues him, kindly gives him something to eat, tenderly speaks to him, privately gives him some specific directions and instructions, and then marvelously restores him in truth and righteousness, if he is willing to be still, listen, trust and obey. Clearly, God is good and irresistible in his love and grace. Clearly, if you should ever find yourself in a cave situation one day, be sure to pray and wait upon the LORD GOD JEHOVAH for further instructions, especially before venturing out into the wilderness. |

“ Good words of comfort and assurance ”
Much thanks and appreciation for this thoughtful sermon on "why we do not go under." Ultimately, God spared us from hell, "Where their worm dieth not, and the fire is not quenched" (Mark 9:44, 46, 48).
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life" (John 3:16).
"For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day" (2 Cor. 4:16).
"(12) Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you. (13) Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.
(14) Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. (15) Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house.
(16) Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven" (Matthew 5:12-16). |

“ Good Question! ”
In the providence of God, I listened to the entire exposition on the question of "May We Use Instruments In Worship?" Good question! Yes, we may use instruments in worship.
Jeremiah 17:9
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
James 3:6
And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire of hell.
Psalms 51:15
O Lord, open thou my lips; and my mouth shall shew forth thy praise.
Hebrews 13:15-16
(15) By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
(16) But to do good and to communicate forget not: for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Yes, God created human hearts, mouths and lips for his praise, worship and adoration. Christian worship, hymns and spiritual songs distinguish believers from non-believers and not all saved and born again believers agree on how to worship God in Spirit and in truth, but one thing is for certain: God causes a song to spring from the heart of one of his sheep in order to hold, keep, comfort, and cheer him. Praise and thanks be to God for holy songs that spring from t |
