The Bible and War
by Jerry Vines
I want to talk with you a little while this evening about the Bible and war. I want you to listen very carefully to what I have to say because I do not want to be misunderstood. I don't want anybody to go out of here saying that I am a warmonger or that I am encouraging war. I'm constantly amazed at what people say I say. You should read some letters I get some times that say I said so and so. Everything I have preached here in the last 20 plus years is on tape. Just a whole lot of things folks think they hear me say, I have never said. It's an amazing thing how that process works. If anyone walks out of here tonight and says that preacher...
The Bible's Beauty
by Robert Dawson
It was 1995 and I was tired of being single with no prospect for love and marriage, so I decided it was time to find me a woman. I hopped into my silver Dodge Dakota pick-up truck and went wife shopping in town. But I wanted more than just a pretty face, so I determined it was important for me to learn more about her. I got some basic information, make, model, VIN number and sent it in for a certified wife check. I also called the F.B.I, C.I.A as well as the state and local authorities to find out if she had a criminal record. I didn't want to marry an axe murderer, drug dealer, thief or spy. Since we were going to be spending the rest of our...
Believer And The Bible
by Claude Thomas
Introduction: There is a great discussion in our time about the Word of God. Many books have been written on the subject. There are conferences on the Word of God dealing with inerrancy. There are conflicts over the Word of God, whether the inspiration is dynamic, verbal, or plenary verbal. In James 1:16-27, we as believers have a guide for our attitude toward the Bible.I. Eagerly hear the Word of God (1:16-20) Explanation of the Text James first set the groundwork for the importance of the Word of God as the instrument of salvation (1:16-18). As the instrument of salvation then, the James exhorted his readers to...
The Astronomy Of The Bible
by T. De Witt Talmage
Exodus, 30: 34: '' And the Lord said unto Moses, Take unto thee sweet spices, stacte, and onycha.'' You may not have noticed the shells of the Bible, although in this early part of the sacred Book God calls you to consider and employ them, as he called Moses to consider and employ them. Behold and wonder and worship. The onycha of my text is a shell found on the banks of the Red Sea, and Moses and his army must have crushed many of them under foot as they crossed the bisected waters, onycha on the beach and onycha in the unfolded bed of the deep. I shall speak of this shell as a beautiful and practical revelation of God...
Tackling the Bible
by Bob Wickizer
''For Christ also suffered for sins once for all'' Mention one religious term and you are likely to run into a storm of controversy and misunderstanding. Consider the term ''sin'' we just heard in these towering words from Peter. Catholic theology - mortal and venial Protestant theology - notorious (in the prayer book disciplinary rubric) Grievous (in the confessional) American - The only kind of sin that matters involve sex (started by a 19th century politician) OR the only sin that matters is if I get caught. Over the centuries we have added layers of meaning to an important term and taken it far away from the original concept...
Is the Bible Infallible?
by Jesse Hendley
If you have your Bibles, friends, turn with me, please to the Gospel of John, chapter 10, verse 35. Our subject today is, ''Is the Bible Infallible?'' Is the Bible trustworthy? Is it without error? Is it dependable? We are living in a time when there are attacks from every side on the integrity of the Bible. Attacks by Sinners Sinners are attacking the Bible by their very lives. In the Book of Romans, chapter 1, verse 18, God says that people who live in sin and unrighteousness, ''hold the truth in unrighteousness.'' Literally, they ''hold back, hold down,'' the Truth by their unrighteous living. People who live in sin hold down the Truth......
The Sweetness of the Bible
by Jesse Hendley
There's absolutely nothing on earth like the Bible. If you take the Bible away, the light goes out. We are left without hope. There would be no real, accurate knowledge of God, assurance of a future life, heaven, the forgiveness of sins and a perfect life. The Psalmist in chapter 119 gives us one of the greatest utterances in literature in the realm of man's thoughts in the entire Bible. It is the greatest outpouring of love and respect for the wonder, authority and preciousness of the Bible in print. There are 176 verses in this great utterance, each one of them full of praise to God for the Bible! There are 22 stanzas, eight verses each, all with the...
Bible Benefits
by Robert Dawson
In Amazing Grace: A Vocabulary of Faith, Kathleen Norris recounts the story of a South Dakota rancher and his bride who received an expensive Bible as a wedding gift from his grandfather. They wrote a thank-you note and stored the Bible away on a closet shelf. As time passed, the grandfather repeatedly asked the couple how they liked the Bible. The rancher was confused as to how to respond. Hadn’t he already expressed his appreciation? But the grandfather persisted. Eventually, the young man dug out the gift. As he leafed through it, $20 bills fluttered out, 66 in all—one at the beginning of Genesis and in each succeeding...
The Most Neglected Truth in the Bible
by Jerry Vines
I'm sure all of you have seen a picture, which is an optical illusion. On the image they have put up an illusion that is familiar to many of you. If you are familiar with it you immediately recognize it and know what it is. Others of you may not be familiar with it and you don't know what it means. When you look at it it really doesn't have a great deal of meaning. If you will keep looking at it and keep looking at it you will find that there is a wonderful, wonderful message there, which just overrides everything else in the picture. An optical illusion gives you a picture so big that if you are not careful you will miss the meaning of it altogether. The...
The Bible And The Believers Baptism
by Ernest Easley
Now join me for a few minutes this morning in the gospel according to Mark. From Mark chapter 1 . . . I want to talk to you this morning and next Sunday morning as well about The Bible and Believer's Baptism. Today .. there's so much confusion and controversy about baptism. For instance . . . perhaps you've prayed and invited Jesus into your life and asked Him to forgive you of all your sin and yet you've never experienced believer's baptism .. does that mean you're not a Christian? Or perhaps you were christened as a baby. Are you going to Heaven based upon that event? Does that mean you've never been baptized? What about...
Teaching Our Children The Bible
by Jesse Hendley
In Second Timothy 3:14 to 17 we find a very precious teaching from the Word of God. "But continue thou," Paul writes to Timothy, his young convert a young preacher of the Gospel," in the things which thou hast learned, and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them. And that from a child thou hast learned the holy Scriptures which are able to make thee wise unto salvation, through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All Scripture is given by inspiration from God and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all...
The B.I.B.L.E (5 of 15)
by Jerry Vines
Do you remember that little song we used to sing in Sunday School and vacation Bible School? I expect our children are already learning that little song - ''The B. I.B.L.E.'' The B I B L E, yes, that's the book for me. I stand alone on the Word of God - the B I B L E. We used to sing another one about the Bible - Holy Bible, book divine. Precious treasure, thou art mine. How wonderful it is to study the Bible. I want you to look at one verse of Scripture - I Thessalonians 2:13. It is so loaded with meaning and it is so important to us as Christians, I want us to just take a little time tonight and study this one verse of Scripture. Here's what...
Is The Bible Just Another Book?
by Ernest Easley
This past June during the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention there was a lengthy discussion regarding the new Baptist Faith and Message. Now if you’re not familiar with the Baptist Faith and Message, it is a summary of what Baptists believe. The first one was written in 1925. The second one was written in 1963. And now we have the 2000 version. You ask, “Why is it necessary to keep updating the Baptist Faith and Message if it is a summary of what Baptists Believe?” Well, it’s not so much what we believe has changed, it is what we face that has changed. This generation of Christians...
The Bible: God's Holy Word
by Nelson Price
JESUS CHRIST said, ''You search the Scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life; and these are they which testify of Me'' (John 5: 39). A student at Baylor University said, ''I want to understand myself better, therefore, I am studying the Scripture about God. The Scripture says I am created in the image of God, so the better I know Him the better I can understand myself.'' To know God the Father, to know God the Son, to know the work of God the Holy Spirit, and to better understand yourself study the Scripture. It is a book about you. There is an old couplet that has survived the ages because it is true: ''This book will keep...
Five Ways to Understand the Bible
by Adrian Rogers
Would you take God's holy word and turn to Psalm One hundred and nineteen. And in just a moment we're going to read verse one hundred and twenty-five. A dear precious lady, a member of this church came to me recently. She said, Pastor, I'm having difficulty living in victory. Well, as a good physician of the soul, I tried to make a diagnosis. And I said, Are you having a quiet time with the Lord? She said, well I I try. I said, are you into God's word daily? She said, well Pastor, to be very honest, I don't get much out of the Bible. I read the Bible and I try to understand it, but it's not very real to me. What should I do Pastor? Well, I want to tell her...
The Lowdown on a Bible Showdown
by Ken Trivette
One of the most famous showdowns in history was the showdown at the OK Corral on October 26, 1831 in Tombstone, Arizona. On one side was Wyatt Earp, his brothers Virgil and Morgan Earp, along with Doc Holiday. On the other side were Ike and Billy Clanton, Tom and Frank McLaury, Billy Claiborn, and Wes Fuller. The fight only lasted about 30 seconds, but it left its mark on history and lifted Wyatt Earp western legend. In 1 Kings 18 we have probably the most famous showdown in the Bible. It is the showdown between Elijah and the worshippers of Baal. F. B. Meyer writes of this scene and Elijah: "This very day, by faith--not by any inherent...
The Hottest Issue in the Bible
by Robert Walker
Dr. J. Harold Smith tells the story of a fourteen-year-old girl, who refused to give her heart to Christ at a revival meeting he once preached. During the invitation time, he felt impressed of the Spirit to extend the altar call. He noticed this young lady, who was obviously under conviction, as she gripped the pew in front of her, turning her knuckles white. Even her parents knew she was under conviction, and pled with her to give her heart to the Lord, to no avail. After the service was concluded, this girl and her family started home in the family car. But not long after leaving the church, their car was struck by another vehicle, overturning it and...
The Sweetest Word In The Bible
by James Merritt
1. What I call the sweetest word in the Bible is a word that is used over 150 times in the New Testament. Yet, it is a word that Jesus never used. Now you may think that is strange, but the reason Jesus never used the word was because He didn't have to. He was a walking definition of this word. 2. This word was not spoken by his lips, but it was seen in his life. This subject may never have been mentioned in his lectures, but it was manifested in his living. 3. The word that, to me, is the sweetest word in the Bible is the word grace. If God had a dictionary I believe beside the word grace you would find a one-word definition - Jesus. I think if...
The Importance Of The Bible In Our Lives
by Jesse Hendley
Friends, we are thinking today of "The Importance of the Bible in our Lives," in your life and mine. In Luke 24, verse 44, Jesus said, These are the words I spake unto you while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses, and in the Prophets, and in the Psalms, CONCERNING ME." Jesus was saying that the Scriptures of the Old Testament were the Word of God and that they had to be fulfilled. If you are reasonable and rational and spiritual, you will have to believe that our Bible is the very Word of God. The Old Testament that Jesus had is the same Old Testament that we...
