FOOD FOR THOUGHT – maurice montgomery

"Someone Is Lying!"

WHO is spreading lies across America and throughout the world? Who is it that is telling around that the Lord Jesus Christ ransomed some who are not ransomed? Redeemed some who are not actually redeemed? Atoned for the sins of some whose sins are not covered? Purged the sins of some whose sins have not been purged? Became a Substitute for some who must yet answer unto God for themselves? Died for the sins of some who must yet die for their own sins? And prays for some who shall never benefit from His prayers?

WHO dares to utter such blasphemy against the living God? Who would so impugn and malign God in His wisdom and purpose, holiness and justice, love, power and grace? Who would be so irreverent and impudent as to speak, or even believe such things?

WHO? The vast majority of preachers throughout the world – most of our religious neighbors and those who preach to them! Pity them but do not excuse them... they ought to be ashamed of themselves! To say that Christ suffered and died for those who had already been in hell 4,000 years when He died, or to say that His soul was made an offering for sin for those whom God knew – being omniscient – would never believe the Gospel when they heard it, or that God ever purposed anything that He shall not bring to pass, is a confession of one's ignorance of the God of the Bible.

Options – Pastor DonNIE Bell 

Have you ever made a phone call and a voice comes on and says push 1 or 2 or 4, then when you push that number it starts all over again. How frustrating.

In every part of life there are too many things to choose from, in going to a restaurant in choosing a car, what kind of computer should I get, on and on it goes.

But there is one thing in which there are no options SALVATION from sin and condemnation. God in His holy word has made it plain and straightforward; "This is my beloved Son hear Him".

God says there is ONE WAY to come unto Him, One who has the power to give eternal life, One who has the power to make God the Father known, One in whom a sinner can be accepted.

The Holy Scriptures tells us there is One Righteousness; One Savior of sinners, One Mediator between God and men "the man Christ Jesus". One who has the power to give life and quicken whom He will. God says there is One whom He appointed heir, One by whom He will be addressed by, One by whom He will address sinners by, One JUST ONE.

God will give no man any wiggle room here, freewill won't do, works won't do, merit has no place, and law keeping won't be accepted. The Lord God said it this way; "He that believes on the Son of God hath life he that believes not on the Son the wrath of God abideth on him."(John 3:36)

I am so thankful that God the Father brought me to the place were there was no way out from under the guilt and condemnation of my sin and revealed the ONE WAY in which He would accept and make me righteous. That Way is through and by the Lord Jesus Christ.

CALL TO WORSHIP
Edmund Jones – 1787 

Come, humble sinner, in whose breast

A thousand thoughts revolve,

Come, with your guilt and fear oppressed,

And make this last resolve?

I'll go to Jesus, though my sin

Hath like a mountain rose:

I know His courts I'll enter in,

Whatever may oppose.

I'll to the gracious King approach,

Whose scepter pardon gives.

Perhaps He may command my touch,

And then the suppliant lives.

I can but perish if I go,

I am resolved to try;

For if I stay away I know,

I must forever die.

(Tune:  "At The Cross")

(Psalms 78:2-8)  "I will open my mouth in a parable: I will utter dark sayings of old: Which we have heard and known, and our fathers have told us. We will not hide them from their children, showing to the generation to come the praises of the LORD, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done. For he established a testimony in Jacob, and appointed a law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they should make them known to their children: That the generation to come might know them, even the children which should be born; who should arise and declare them to their children: "That they might set their hope in God, and not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments: And might not be as their fathers, a stubborn and rebellious generation; a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirit was not stedfast with God."
