True Fellowship in Farsi 03 – Introduction
Friday, February 27th, 2009مقدمه از اوایل نجات و در طی چهار تا پنج سال نخستین پس ازآن ، به این نکته پی بردم که چیزی در زندگی کلیسایی معاصر در جای درست خود قرار ندارد – قدرت خداوند کجاست؟ جلال او کجاست؟ واقعیت رسالتی به کجا رفته است؟ “ملکوت تو بیاید” چه شد؟ چرا ما نمی توانیم […]
The Church’s Identification with Israel
Friday, December 26th, 2008I want to quote some Jewish sources to give a sense of the heightened awareness in the Jewish community of imponderables, of things happening now that are almost beyond their grasp, triggered by this unexpected outbreak of hostilities in Lebanon (2006). I am reading from a Jewish publication called The Forward. One of the principal […]
The Mystery of Marriage
Sunday, November 16th, 2008INTRODUCTION For this cause a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife; and the two shall become one flesh. This mystery is great; but I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each individual among you also love his own wife even as himself; and […]
God as Father
Saturday, November 15th, 2008I rarely, if ever, call on God the Father. My prayers are always directly to the Lord Jesus. Even though Jesus said we should pray to the Father in Jesus’ name, I pray directly to the Lord. I am more comfortable with the word Lord than I am with the word Father. Maybe this is […]
Abraham’s Ascent – The Necessity of Every Believer
Sunday, August 31st, 2008In Oswald Chamber’s devotional My Utmost for His Highest for April 26, entitled “The Supreme Climb,” we read: The great point of Abraham’s faith in God was that he was prepared to do anything for God. He was there to obey God, no matter to what belief he went contrary. Strange that one’s beliefs about […]
An Expression of Loving Concern
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008A message given by Art Katz to a closely-knit group of community/fellowships known as “The Move” (The Move of the Spirit) in 1988, Lubbock, Texas. It is a message given in the context of a movement that celebrates the Holy Spirit while, at the same time, essentially ignores some of the classic doctrines of the […]
A Man in Whom the Spirit of God is
Monday, August 4th, 2008You will have to choose either what you presently know, in all of its glory, or you will have to choose apostolic splendor-fresh out of the book of Acts—in all of its magnitude, grisly sweat, suffering, blood, vexation, distress, and calamity.
La Confrontation Apostolique – Paul sur l'aréopage
Saturday, July 19th, 2008Paul sur la colline de Mars, c’est l’homme sacré confrontant le séculier; l’esprit spirituel contre l’esprit laïque; la perspective céleste qui sert à réfuter celle qui est terrestre.
Le Faux Prophète
Monday, July 7th, 2008(Extraits du livre: The Prophetic Call) Au chapitre 23 du livre de Jérémie, Dieu fait une déclaration intéressante à propos des vrais et des faux prophètes. Vous parlez d’une accusation! C’est une chose de porter une accusation contre Israël, mais lorsque vous commencez à accuser les prophètes d’Israël, lorsque les meilleures choses, les plus hautes […]
L'Éternité
Monday, July 7th, 2008Israël est une clé pour l’interprétation des Écritures; c’est une des clés de la foi. Perdre le sens du destin millénaire et éternel d’Israël, c’est perdre le sens de l’éternité elle-même.
Dios Como un Factor en los Asuntos Seculares del Hombre?
Sunday, July 6th, 2008¿Dios Como un Factor en los Asuntos Seculares del Hombre? No sé si alguien lo habrá notado ultimamente, pero Dios, por tanto tiempo restringido a un mero conocimiento religioso de Viernes a Sábado, amenaza con venir a ser un factor en los asuntos mas serios del hombre de donde El es usualmente excluído. Yo hago […]
Algunos Pensamientos De Advertencia Sobre El Presente Avivamiento
Sunday, July 6th, 2008Apreciaría su interés mientras intento presentar un tema que actualmente se encuentra dividiendo en campos defensivos y opuestos a una gran mayoría del pueblo de Dios. Uno es puesto en un lugar incomodo, y hasta peligroso, cuando se formulan advertencias básicas que aparentemente están opuestas a lo que a los ojos de muchos es santo […]
Israel y el Tiempo de Angustia para Jacob
Saturday, July 5th, 2008Tengo la indeseable tarea de dar una perspectiva acerca de lo que las Escrituras llaman, “El tiempo de Angustia para Jacob”. Es un doloroso estudio de la devastación y sufrimiento, aún futuro, para Israel y el pueblo judío, pero yo creo que la Iglesia necesita que esta perspectiva sea introducida en su conciencia, para que […]
Una Vision De Los Ultimos Tiempos
Saturday, July 5th, 2008Estos son los últimos días, y tengo una perspectiva de la fe que puede ser llamada “apocalíptica”. Apocalíptico significa “revelación”, pero está acompañado de violencia, caos, desorden, colisiones entre la luz y las tinieblas, y del sacudimiento de todo aquello que puede ser sacudido. Será un tiempo convulsivo, muy semejante un nacimiento. Saliendo se ese […]
Gleanings from Psalms 18 in the Light of Current Revival Phenomena
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008I am going to take look at portions of Psalms 18 because this psalm evokes a sense of God that I think we desperately need. The sense of God is the only all-important reality. And what is the church without a sense of God or the holiness of God?
Message to a Secular University Audience
Tuesday, June 10th, 2008You may think that Christianity is derived from a Jewish foundation in religion, and that it is some narrow faith restricted to those who are Jews or Westerners, but that is not true. There is only one God, one faith, and one way for all men and for all nations. Let’s begin in the Gospel […]
The Gospel in its Cosmic Setting
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008When you hear the word gospel, you need to think in terms of a cosmic overview of God’s supreme wisdom of a redemptive kind for the whole of mankind. The gospel is more than a little truncated formula. Paul speaks of “my Gospel.” There is a sense of affectionate, personal devotion to the great message […]
The Mystery of Zion – Gleanings from Psalm 87
Monday, May 26th, 2008His foundation is in the holy mountains. The Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the other dwelling places of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God” (Ps. 87:1-3). If He loves the gates of Zion, what ought our attitude to be? If we have difficulties in identifying what […]
Apocalyptic Eschatology
Monday, May 26th, 2008I have an outline of certain last days’ events, but there is no way that I can adhere to a linear statement or discussion. You will find that I will keep coming back to certain themes in the interweaving of strands that make up the whole. These are the last days, and I have a […]
The cost of showing mercy
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008It cost God much to pour out and reveal His mercy, namely, the death of His Son in the most excruciating agony. What will it cost us to show the same? Is mercy still mercy if it comes without cost? Religious politeness we can perform. If mercy does not come at cost to the person […]
