Our Sins
from Days of Praise from ICR
3 days ago (9/4/2010).
"All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all." (Isaiah 53:6)
As Christ hung on the cross, the Jewish leaders felt that He was guilty of blasphemy--a mere man, claiming to be God. In short, they felt that He was dying for His own sins. Their tragic misconceptions, however, were predicted... More...
Pie in the Sky

"And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God." (Revelation 19:9)

Scripture is full of promises, more than 2,800 in the Old Testament and more than 1,000 in the New. The first of these exceeding great and precious promises was the Prote... More...

6 days ago (9/1/2010).
"And there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots: And the spirit of the LORD shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD." (Isaiah 11:1-2)

The Omniscience of God
from Days of Praise from ICR
7 days ago (8/31/2010).
"O LORD, thou hast searched me, and known me." (Psalm 139:1)
The marvelous 139th Psalm consists of a prayer by King David to his King, the omniscient, omnipresent, holy, Creator God, the King of kings. In this psalm David reflects on and praises God for His majestic attributes, and by doing so, is driven to introspection.
David claims that God knows when we sit d... More...
Milk or Meat
from Days of Praise from ICR
8 days ago (8/30/2010).
"For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil." (Hebrews 5:13-14)
The Scriptures are compared in these verses to our daily food--milk and meat. Milk is the necessary food for babies (More...
His Master's Crib
from Days of Praise from ICR
9 days ago (8/29/2010).
"The ox knoweth his owner, and the ass his master's crib: but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider." (Isaiah 1:3)
What an indictment this is--not only against the people of Israel, but against men and women everywhere. All were created and made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26-27) for fellowship with Him, bu... More...
How the Earth Is Filled
from Days of Praise from ICR
10 days ago (8/28/2010).
"For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea." (Habakkuk 2:14)
The very first command given to Adam and Eve was: "Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth" (Genesis 1:28). This might seem to imply there had been a previous population (so-called... More...
Faith
from Days of Praise from ICR
11 days ago (8/27/2010).
"And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness." (Genesis 15:6)
It may come as a surprise to some that both Old and New Testament believers are justified only by faith. In fact, four New Testament epistles base their arguments on justification by faith on two Old Testament passages, each quoted three times, but with each one emphasizing a diffe... More...
King at the Flood
from Days of Praise from ICR
12 days ago (8/26/2010).
"The LORD sitteth upon the flood; yea, the LORD sitteth King for ever. The LORD will give strength unto his people; the LORD will bless his people with peace." (Psalm 29:10-11)
There are quite a few different Hebrew words which are translated "flood" in the Old Testament. The word in this passage (Hebrew, mabbul), however, is unique in that it is on... More...
The Wolf and the Lamb Together
from Days of Praise from ICR
13 days ago (8/25/2010).
"The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them." (Isaiah 11:6)
This scene seems impossible; could it be merely an allegory? But that isn’t all. "The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bul... More...
The Great Divider
from Days of Praise from ICR
14 days ago (8/24/2010).
"Suppose ye that I am come to give peace on earth? I tell you, Nay; but rather division." (Luke 12:51)
From the very beginning, God has been a great divider. On the first day of creation, "God divided the light from the darkness"; on the second day He "divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament" (
Like the Most High
from Days of Praise from ICR
15 days ago (8/23/2010).
"I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." (Isaiah 14:14)
These are two of the "I will's" of Satan--or Lucifer--as he aspired to usurp the throne of God as ruler of the universe (see Isaiah 14:12-15; Ezekiel 28:11-17). Not ... More...
To The Looking Glass
from Days of Praise from ICR
16 days ago (8/22/2010).
"For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." (James 1:23-2... More...
Marriage Is Honorable
from Days of Praise from ICR
17 days ago (8/21/2010).
"Marriage is honourable in all, and the bed undefiled: but whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." (Hebrews 13:4)
Ever since the divine union of Adam and Eve, the institution of marriage has been between a man and woman. However, the "bed" has often been defiled, with all kinds of sexual perversions. Homosexual behavior is often mentioned in the Bible, an... More...
Stewardship Among the Churches
from Days of Praise from ICR
18 days ago (8/20/2010).
"He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches." (Revelation 2:29)
In Revelation, the Lord Jesus dictated seven poignant letters to seven different churchs. Two letters contain praise and commendation. Two give grave warnings. Three are mixed.
Smyrna (Revelation 2:8-11) was faith... More...
Stewardship Investment
from Days of Praise from ICR
19 days ago (8/19/2010).
"Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's." (Matthew 22:21)
Taxes have been a part of civilizations for thousands of years. Even our Lord Jesus found the subject important enough to comment on. We all have responsibilities to pay "tribute" or taxes to those in authority over us.
But tribute mon... More...
Stewardship Strength
from Days of Praise from ICR
20 days ago (8/18/2010).
"Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a shield: but I come to thee in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied." (1 Samuel 17:45)
Our Lord Jesus taught us to expect ongoing instability until He returned (Matthew 24:6). So... More...
The Passion of Stewardship
from Days of Praise from ICR
21 days ago (8/17/2010).
"And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices." (Mark 12:33)
The regular diet of TV and Hollywood productions--which have grown far worse in many ways than in the radical 1960s--is rarely scrutinized or critic... More...
Stewardship Warfare
from Days of Praise from ICR
22 days ago (8/16/2010).
"A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump." (Galatians 5:9)
Most of us have seen ripples created from a pebble dropped in a pond. They also make good illustrations of what atheistic and naturalistic science does to truth.
The Bible uses a number of illustrations about the importance of getting rid of the source of the problems. The psalmist cried out f... More...
The Scattering Hammer
from Days of Praise from ICR
23 days ago (8/15/2010).
"Is not my word like as a fire? saith the LORD; and like a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?" (Jeremiah 23:29)
One of the most picturesque of the figures used to describe the Holy Scriptures is that of the hammer striking and shattering a rock. In this text, however, the "rock" is literally a mighty rock mountain.
Furthermore, the effect of th... More...
Logical Milk
from Days of Praise from ICR
24 days ago (8/14/2010).
"As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby." (1 Peter 2:2)
This exhortation is directed to young Christians who have only recently trusted God's enduring Word, preached to them in the saving gospel of Christ.
Because of this miracle of regeneration just experienced, a new Christian must now "|lay| aside |the verb form her... More...
