Miracle Mothers and the Beginning of a New Time
“But when the fullness of the time had come, God sent forth His Son, born of a woman…”  (Galatians 4:4)

There are some things that permeate the word of God. That is, once you see it in the Bible you see it all in the Bible. My favorite Bible professor, Dr. Jimmy Milliken, once told our class of young preachers that the sovereignty of God is like that. You may study the Bible for years or all your life and never see it; but once you do see it, you see it everywhere. After careful study and teaching the Bible for many years I concluded: you cannot possibly understand the Bible without believing in the sovereignty of God. Jesus is Lord and there is nothing He is not involved in. The Bible puts it like this: “We… being predestined by Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will.” (Ephesians 1:11)
While sitting in a hospital room recently because of a heart attack and congestive heart failure, God showed me this about another subject which we call doctrines or teachings. It has to do with the purpose of God in creation and redemption. “Let Us make man in Our image, and let them have dominion…” (Genesis 1:26)  then in Romans 8:29 it states that those who love God and are the called according to His purpose are “predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn over many brethren.” So, the reason man was made and saved is that we might bear the image of God.
The title God gave me for this was “Christlikness.” We were created and saved to be like Christ. I called for the hospital chaplain and asked for a Bible, note paper and a pen. While there I wrote about 20 pages of notes on this subject and given the time could have written 200 pages. What God showed me there I have since been seeing everywhere in the Bible... to read more click on the following link:

Jesus and Us Empowered by the Holy Spirit
“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power, who went about doing good and healing all way were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”   (Acts 10:38)

Download PDF

Everything Jesus Christ did on earth He did as a man in the perfect image of God anointed by the Holy Spirit, so He could enable we who are reborn in the image of Christ to do the same things He did.
Jesus never ceased to be God but He did His work as a man to example for us what we can do in His name and by His Spirit, with His authority and power.
We need to be clear about one thing: Jesus Christ is fully God and fully man, and always will be. The Word is the eternal Son who created all things; and the Word became flesh (John1:1-3,18). There was a moment in time, in the womb of a virgin, when the eternal Son of God became a human being, without ceasing to be God. Within the one person of Jesus were two natures: divine and human. Since His incarnation He has and always will be completely God and completely man. Two natures in one person.

I. Jesus did everything He did as a man empowered by the Holy Spirit.  Acts 10:38
Peter says that Jesus of Nazareth, a designation of His manhood, was anointed by God the Father with the Holy Spirit. This is what enabled Him to do good and heal all. He did all these mighty works because He was anointed. It says, “for God was with Him.” It does not say He healed all because He was God. It says, “for God was with Him.” Not the God the Father because He was the One who anointed Him. Not Himself; He did not anoint Himself. God the Holy Spirit was with Him, empowering Him to do what He did. His power came when the Holy Spirit came upon Him in Luke 3:21-23; 4:1,14-19... to read more click on the following link:

The Image of God in Man
“Then God said, ‘Let Us make man in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have dominion…”  (Genesis 1:26)

Download PDF

INTRODUCTION

Without knowing this about God and man we are lost: lost to our importance and significance as humans and lost to knowing the reason we exist and the purpose of Christ’s salvation. We lose this and we lose everything. We don’t know where we came from or why we are here. We don’t know our worth and value. We have no idea of why Christ came to die and rise again to save us. We don’t know why we exist or why Christ came. This is the first mention of man in the Bible and according to the hermeneutic law (the science of interpreting Scripture) of first mention it will say a huge amount about the doctrine of man. And it does. Everything else said in the Bible about man comes out of this text. Even the coming of Jesus and the great salvation He provides for mankind answers to this Bible verse. Jesus came as the image of the invisible God (Colossians 1:15) and by His death and resurrection to begin a new creation in which man is remade in the image of God (1Corinthians15:49). God made man in His image and after His likeness.

What in the world does that mean? After God made everything in the visible and invisible world (Everything He’d made up until man; Gen.1:1-25) He made man so that every other created thing could observe him and know what the invisible God was like. When they see man they would know everything they need to know about God. That is the purpose of every living human being. We were made to bear the image of God, to be like God. Man was made to think like God, act like God and do the works of God. We will never be God, but we were made to be like God and to have dominion over everything in God’s creation... to read more click on the following link...

Our Responsibility in Bein Christlike
“Have faith in God. For assuredly I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will  have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” (Mark 11:22-24)

Download PDF

It is clear from these words of Jesus that our responsibility is to have faith, speak, pray and believe. These are things we are clearly responsible to do. If we are not careful we can blame God for not doing anything about our dire situation: find fault when He does not answer our prayers, for letting bad things happen to us, being passive when it comes to our provision and protection. “He didn’t heal my loved one. He didn’t come through for me when my marriage was falling apart. He allowed me to get laid off or didn’t help me keep my business going, and now I can’t pay my bills.” On and on it goes.

God gets blamed for a lot of things. But the truth of the matter is, some things are our responsibility and things happen to us or we don’t get out of a lot of situations because we have not done what God told us to do. We cannot do what only God can do, but God will not do what He has told us to do. If someone remains in a destructive lifestyle, it may be because he will not repent; he’d rather live with his sin that with God. Maybe I have not done what I should have done with my job or business or health or relationship. We cannot blame God for our divorce when we have not loved our spouse the way God says. When relationships deteriorate it is because we have not done our responsibility. Someone is always at fault, but it is never God... to read more click on the following link:

What It Means to be Christlike
When it says “the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch” we always think that means they were sweet loving people like Jesus and so they said, “Let’s call them little Christs; they are good citizens and do no harm to their neighbors.” But if you look at the context of that statement it has very little to do with their character, as important as that is. Jesus certainly was a loving meek Man. But I assure you, if you look in the Bible, that is not the aspect of Jesus that made them think they were Christlike. That would have been true of the first 30 years of His life, but Jesus was much more than that.

Jesus was the powerful Son of Man who worked miracles: cleansed lepers, healed the blind and lame, and raised the dead. His love did more than make Him good; it made Him powerful. Sure He went about doing good, but He was also anointed by God to heal all who were oppressed by the devil. How could He do that? Because God was with Him (Acts 10:38), not because He was God. Jesus of Nazareth didn’t do His mighty works as the divine Son of God. He lived His miraculous life and did His mighty deeds as a man full of the Holy Spirit. He always called Himself the Son of Man, meaning He was fully man and He lived as a man... to read more click the following link... http://www.gracehouseclinton.com/2020/04/what-it-means-to-be-christlike

What it Means to be a Christian

“And the disciples were first called Christians at Antioch.”  (Acts 11:26)

Ideas of what it means to be a Christian range from the extremely limited to the exceedingly and ridiculously broad. Some people have such narrow-minded views that heaven must necessarily be a scarcely populated place. One denomination believes that you must be baptized in water in Jesus’ name only, speak in tongues, wear certain kinds of clothing, tithe and do good works the rest of your life. Oh, and use the King James Version of the Bible. Still others are so broad in their interpretation of what it means to be a Christian that it basically comes down to just do the best you can. (Nobody ever does the best he can.) Just be a good person and you are a Christian. This is patently absurd and is counter to everything in the Bible. Yet multitudes believe this. Some may even add water baptism or other rituals that allow a person to live in sin and never repent and still be a Christian and make it to heaven when they die.
But God is not that narrow-minded or open-minded. Truth is never open-minded. We must look at the Bible to see what it means to be a Christian; not at what others say, or how we feel about it. God wrote a book and in that book He tells us who they are who are right with Him and who are not. We must go by the Bible or we have no source of authority for what we believe. God would never want something so important as this to be left up to our own ideas or the opinions of others. It is He who wrote, “These things I have written to you who believe in the name of the Son of God, that you might know that you have eternal life…” (1John5:13)  God wants us to know and that knowledge is found only in the Holy Bible. So, we will use the Bible as our inspired source to determine what it means to be a Christian... to read more click on the following link...  http://www.gracehouseclinton.com/2020/04/what-it-means-to-be-a-christian

The Sufferings of Christ and the Glory that Followed
1 Peter 1:11

I want us to examine the sufferings of our dear Savior, but not as one examines a rose so as to take away the beauty of it. In close inspection of the pains and sorrows of the Lamb of God we will find beauty unequaled. 

I.  His Sufferings were PURPOSEFUL
 All His sufferings were unjust. Pilate passed the verdict when he said, “I find no fault in this man.” Yet He still suffered. He had gone about doing good, healing all who were oppressed.  What did He do to deserve such torment? He healed the sick, fed the hungry, taught the word of God, glorified God by everything He said and did. He never sinned once. But still He was brutally arrested, unjustly tried, convicted and endured the most excruciating pain of any human being ever. Why?  What was the purpose of His sufferings? He was suffering for you, and me. We were guilty. We have broken the law of God and become criminals in God’s holy courtroom, condemned to die. That whip was our whip. Those stripes upon His blessed back were stripes that should have been on our sinful backs. Those nails were our nails. He went through hell on that cross because of us and for us. That was the purpose of His sufferings. He suffered the punishment for our sins.... to read more click on the following link:
