The Bible Standard - Re-Discover the Truth.

A @Christadelphians Video: “This is not a true story.  But the issues it discusses are very real.  Marc and Mary Moore are two Roman Catholics who take their convictions seriously.  

So seriously that when their beliefs are challenged by two friends they accept the opportunity to examine the basis for their own beliefs.  This begins a careful search for truth…  It is our sincere desire that all readers of this book will identify with the spirit in which Marc and Mary accepted this challenge.”  – How Sure Are the Foundations written by Colin Badger  

This audiobook is read by Chris Sales.  

The book can be purchased here: Christadelphian Books (USA) or CSSS Books (Australia).

This was the great promise the people made to Moses when they “encamped before the mountain (of the LORD)” [Exodus 19 v.2].  It was 2 months since they had left Egypt. God instructs Moses to tell the people:  “You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians … Now therefore,if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; and you shall beto me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation” [v.4-6]. What an awesome promise!

What God, through his power, had done to the Egyptians, which they had witnessed, beginning with the plagues, should have filled them with an overwhelming awe as to the nature and power of the one and only God – their God. They readily said, “All that the LORD has spoken we will do” [v.8].

The presence of the Lord is in this mountain,  “there were thunders and lightnings and a thick cloud on the mountain and a very loud trumpet blast so that all the people in the camp trembled” [v.16] The mountain “was wrapped in smoke because the LORD descended on it in fire” [v.18] What an utterly awesome experience!  “The people were afraid and trembled … Moses said … do not fear, for God has come to test you, that the fear (awe) of him may be before you, that you may not sin.” [20 v.20]

In a sense the people had been baptised before they came to the mountain.  Paul makes this point. “I want you to know, brothers that our fathers … were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea” [1 Corinth.10 v.1,2]

The writer to the Hebrews takes up this example of this awesome encounter with God and invites baptised believers in Christ to contemplate the contrast.  “for you have not come to what may be touched, a blazing fire and darkness and gloom and a tempest and the sound of a trumpet and a voice whose words made the hearers beg that no further messages be spoken to them …  But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels … to Jesus the mediator of a new covenant.” [12 v.18,22,24]

How clear is our spiritual vision? Is it clearer than it was to those with Moses? We all have God’s word, the Bible in our hands, they didn’t.  Are we in awe of the God we serve, or plan to serve, appreciating his wondrous grace and mercy?  We can read of “all that the LORD has spoken.”  Our lives must show how much we realize this and whether we have said, or intend to say, “… we will do.” If we have said it – let us make sure we keep our word?

The Psalms are divided into 5 books, and today we complete the second, today’s Psalm (72) ending with the words, “the prayers of David, the son of Jesse are ended.”   There are more Psalms attributed to David later on.  The Psalms (the Hymn Book of Israel) are not compiled in the order they were written and at the head of today’s Psalm it says “of (or for) Solomon”

We believe David wrote this near the end of his life, probably his last Psalm, as Solomon was ascending the throne.  But David, under inspiration, is really writing of his greater son’s reign, that of Jesus.  This Psalm is an incredible picture of the Kingdom of God on earth when Jesus reigns.  As we read it we cannot help but contrast it with the kingdoms of men as they are now!

Whenever we listen to the news, it is largely an account of trouble and strife: inn contrast, David’s prayer for his son is – “May he judge your people with righteousness, and your poor with justice … may he defend the cause of the poor of the people, give deliverance to the children of the needy…  in his days may the righteous flourish, and peace abound … may he have dominion from sea to sea … to the ends of the earth … may all kings fall down before him, all nations serve him.  May his name endure forever … all nations call him blessed … may the whole earth be filled with his glory! Amen and Amen” [v.2,4,7,8,17,19]

May David’s prayer be our prayer today – and when we say “AMEN” let us say it with fervent conviction and desire

A @Christadelphians Video: Description:   Just before his ascension, Christ said: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth”. This is described by referring to many Bible quotes describing Christ’s present position and his current work, as he awaits his return to the earth. Christ now control the angels; is head of the ecclesia; and the Righteous Judge over all the earth. We need to consider how we honour the Son.

We all have probably had the experience of suddenly seeing another side of friend’s character that we did not know existed.   We then wonder who they really are!  Hopefully these are good things we see, but sadly, that is not always the case.

Now consider the experience of the disciples of Jesus, our heading is the question they asked themselves at a time when they had been “filled with great fear” and as a result had said, “, that even wind and see obey him?” [Mark 4 v.41]

We have already read in Mark of Jesus doing many marvelous healings; a paralysed man, a leper, a man with a withered hand, &c, so that “his fame spread everywhere” [1 v.28]: yet when he stills the storm and “the wind ceased and there was a great calm” [4 v.39] they then asked each other “Who then is this?”

Most of them were fishermen, this miracle occurred in an environment with which they were very familiar.  Surely they had learnt when there was a risk of this nature and would not venture out.  Matthew, Mark and Luke all record this dramatic event, it was etched in their memory.

It is described as “a great windstorm” and the “waves were breaking into the boat.”  As Jesus dramatically stills the storm, he asks, “Have you still no faith?” [v.40]

Compare this with what we read today in Exodus 16, there is a challenging parallel!  The nation of Israel had witnessed miracles, the plagues, walking through the sea on dry land and the destruction of the Egyptians armies at the hands of their all-powerful God – the one whose name/reputation was being established by these events.

As they “grumbled against Moses” because of the lack of food [v.2] Moses could have said, “Have you still no faith?”

We have commented several times that in this 21st Century we are travelling in a sinful Godless wilderness.  Storms of God’s judgements are starting to break out more and more in this world, they are going to get worse.

We all need to really get to know our Lord and Master and develop such a measure of faith that makes us certain Jesus is in control whatever may come on this earth: and when he returns – .and how soon now? – it will not enter our minds to say, “Who then is this?”as our faith becomes utterly wondrous sight.

A @Christadelphians Video: Description:  Each year millions of people celebrate the birth of Jesus, yet very few realise that He is one day to be King over all the earth. The Bible clearly teaches that this is truly Jesus Christ’s destiny
