Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest. (Matthew 11:28)Those of us who are saved find rest in
Jesus. Those who are not saved will receive rest if they come to Him, for He
promises to give it. Let us gladly accept what He gladly gives. You’re not to
buy it, nor borrow it, but to receive it as a gift. You labor under the weight
of ambition, covetousness, lust, or anxiety – Jesus will set you free from this
iron bondage and give you rest....Read More
The apostle Paul described true
worship perfectly in Romans 12:1-2 “I
urge you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God to present your bodies a
living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God which is your spiritual service of
worship. And do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is
good and acceptable, or well pleasing and perfect...Read More
What saddens me even more is when unbelieving
people choose to reject the Christian faith solely because of the hypocrisy of
its followers. They see our sin and not our sinless Savior and His blood
that covers us, and they throw the baby out with the bathwater. Thankfully,
in the Lord’s grace, the Christian faith does not stand or fall on the unstable
legs of a five-year-old wearing shoes with wheels. Its credibility is not
dependent on the balancing capabilities of a wobbly sinner. Ultimately,
the truth of the gospel does not stand..Read More
Welcome to WWW.BIBLESTUDYEMAIL.COM !! It is a home
for people who believe the Christian bible is the Word of God and would like to
learn more about it. This is not a cult project and there is no particular
denomination of Christianity being pushed through these notes. This web site is
the archive of thousands of pages of bible study notes. Further, this is an
ongoing ministry of bible study emails sent to you at no charge with no strings
attached. These e-mail bible studies summarize the key points of the bible,
discuss how they apply to our lives, and help people grow in their relationship
with Jesus Christ. Each e-mail covers one or two chapters in outline format.
They are “expository style,” which simply means a verse by verse commentary.
"Pray without ceasing." That precept at
one stroke overthrows the idea of particular times wherein prayer is
more acceptable or more proper than at others. If I am to pray without ceasing,
then every second must be suitable for prayer, and there is not one unholy
moment in the hour, nor one unaccepted hour in the day, nor one unhallowed day
in the year. The Lord has not appointed a certain week for prayer, but all
weeks should be weeks of prayer: neither has he said that one hour of the day
is more acceptable than another. All time is equally legitimate for supplication,
equally holy, equally accepted with God, or else we should not have been told
to pray without ceasing. It is good to have your times of prayer; it is good to
set apart seasons for special supplication—we have no doubt of that; but we
must never allow this to gender the superstition that there is a certain holy
hour for prayer in the morning, a specially acceptable hour for prayer in the
evening, and a sacred time for prayer at certain seasons of the year. Wherever
we seek the Lord with true hearts he is found of us; whenever we cry unto him
he heareth us. Every place is hallowed ground to a hallowed heart, and every
day is a holy day to a holy man. From January to December the calendar has not
one date in which prayer is forbidden. All the days are red-letter days,
whether Sabbaths or week days they are all accepted times for prayer. Clear,
then, is it from the text, that the voice, the posture, the place, the
time—none of them enter into the essence of prayer, or else, in this case, we
should be commanded to perform an impossibility, which we are quite certain is
not after the manner of the Lord our God...Read More
