The first five books of the Old Testament are in order. The Pentateuch, as they are called, consists of the writings of Moses. Genesis is the book of beginnings; it records the fall of man. Exodus is the book of deliverance from Egypt and describes the redemption of man. Leviticus focuses on holiness and reminds…
The words abounding, abundant, and abundantly are not only used to describe the communicable attributes of God, but they are used to list some human attributes or traits. These are abundant things that the faithful Christian ought to manifest and manifest abundantly. Because God is not stingy with his love, or his mercy, or his…
Talking about above & beyond, one can go to such words as abounding, abundant, and abundantly. There are many things in the Christian experience that are said to be abundant. Many of these things have to do with what God bestows upon the believer. Here is a partial list: Abundant Grace, 2Cor.4:15; 8:7; 9:8; 1Tim.1:14…
Using Ephesians 3:20 as a text, we find three superlatives describing the work of the Lord Jesus Christ. His work is exceeding; his work is abundant; and his work is above. Let’s talk about the word “exceeding.” In the Greek language, the word (huper) is a simple preposition that is translated in a variety of…
We have been talking about things that are above and beyond. One of the things that Jesus tried to get across to the scribes and Pharisees was that he was not from earth, but that he was from heaven. He often called it being “from above.” When he spoke to Nicodemus, he said, “He that…
When we think of going above and beyond, we usually mean going higher and farther than what is normally achieved. It usually refers to the work of an over achiever, one who goes above and beyond what is required. The Christian believer ought to be an over achiever. We probably cannot go above and beyond…
God has especially promised to be with us in old age. “Hearken unto me … which are carried from the womb: And even to your old age I am he; and even to hoar hairs will I carry you: I have made, and I will bear; even I will carry, and will deliver you” (Isa.…
Adulthood brings many challenges to life. God is faithful in the midst of all of those challenges to guide, direct, sustain, and provide. God’s provisions for the nation of Israel are a testimony of God’s faithfulness to every adult. Psalms 105 and 106 are historical psalms that are addressed to the seed of Abraham (105:6).…
God is faithful at our birth; he is faithful in our childhood, and he remains faithful throughout our youth. Solomon concluded his inquiry into the meaning of life by saying, “Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth” (Ecc. 12:1). He continued stating that the remembrance should be before the evil days come,…
God is not only faithful from the beginning, but he is faithful throughout the years. Take the example of Timothy (2Tim. 1:5). Timothy’s faith was an outflow of his grandmother’s faith, who “passed it along” to his mother, who, in turn, “passed it along” to Timothy. To be sure, each person needed to exercise personal…
