The Riches in Christ – 03 Immanuels Land

reynaldo reynoso (admin)

The Bride eyes not her garment, but her dear Bridegroom?s face;
I will not gaze at glory but on my King of grace.
Not at the crown He giveth but on His pierced hand;
The Lamb is all the glory of Immanuel?s land.

There are so many things that can occupy my time. I?ve noticed that work can take up such a huge portion, as does the work in the local gathering. I spend time studying various books and reading the Word and trying to understand God?s will for my life and for my home. I spend time with my two year old son watching the wonder shimmering in his wide eyes as we come up with a ?new? game?shadow puppets or pretending that we see the sun on a cloud day. I spend time talking with my wife in the wee hours of the evening / morning and spend time in silence with my own thoughts reflecting on something or other.

The Gospel of God – Christ Crucified

randy amos

Technically, there is a difference in meaning between the death of Christ and the cross of Christ. This chronicle, with others to follow in the will of the Lord, will attempt to develop these differences to better understand the place of the cross in the wonders of God’s wisdom in man’s salvation.

The Riches in Christ – 02

This is hard. My heart isn’t fully in it but I had to post this for it encourages myself and perhaps it will encourage others.

Then the LORD spoke to Moses, saying, “Speak to Aaron and to his sons, saying, ‘Thus you shall bless the sons of Israel . You shall say to them: The LORD bless you, and keep you; The LORD make His face shine on you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance on you, And give you peace.’ “So they shall invoke My name on the sons of Israel , and I then will bless them.” – (Num 6:22-27)

These verses from Numbers are located at the very heart of practical education of the Israelite’s lives. God had spoken to Israel and told them how He wants the troops ordered and who was responsible for carrying what of the tabernacle and what trumpets signified what and how the camp is to be kept clean. All of these extremely practical things and dead smack in the center we find the Aaronic blessing.

Why Did Jesus Have To Die

reynaldo reynoso (admin)

The Problem

Personally I’ve never heard the question asked out loud but I have asked it of myself. I would find myself looking at scriptures and from an early age the question that was at the forefront of my mind was ?Why??

Not the ?why?? of life or the ?why?? of pain (although these questions did come up). But Why the death of Jesus? Why did He have to suffer and get crucified?

The Gospel of Christ: The Performance

Randy Amos

Chronicle number one of God?s gospel dealt with the great
problem man has before God. It showed the doctrine of condemnation
because of sin. Chronicle number two dealt with God?s Savior.
The Savior is not a philosophy or a religious program but a unique
Person: the son of God and the son of man, Jesus the Lord.

This third chronicle looks at the performance required for
one?s sin that is satisfactory to God the Father. The ethics,
teachings, miracles, moral values, example and popularity of
the Lord Jesus are powerless apart from His performance for sin.
His Person apart from His right performance for sin saves no
one.
