Thru the Bible - Questions & Answers Dr. J. Vernon McGee
-
Can you discuss the topics of the Rapture, the Tribulation, Armageddon, and the remnant--particularly in light of Joel 2, Ezekiel 38 and 29, Isaiah 2, Malachi 4 and 2 Peter 3?
-
Can you discuss the doctrine of separation?
-
Is tongues a universal gift? 1 Corinthians 12 seems to teach it is not.
-
What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit?
-
In Exodus it says Moses saw God, but the Bible also teaches that no man has seen God. Is this a contradiction?
-
Do Exodus 4:11 and Isaiah 45:7 teach that God creates people with birth defects?
-
In Luke 13 Jesus refers to the “kingdom of God is like….” Can you explain that phrase?
Thru the Bible - Minute with McGee Dr. J. Vernon McGee
Faithful Living
Now the real test of the Christian life, you see, is not on the arena backed by applause. It’s not before the crowd in the coliseum. There were five million martyrs who bear testimony to the truth of the gospel in the first three centuries. They laid down their lives for Christ, but did you know that there were many more million than that who bear witness by the faithful lives they live each day? Nothing spectacular; nothing sensational. Nothing outstanding. They’re just living for God. They have a purpose, they have a direction, and they have a thrilling experience.
References: 3 John 1:10-14

Daily Promises
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (2 Corinthians 12:9)
God's grace is greater than our weakness. When we admit our weaknesses then more of Christ's strength can be manifested in us. We are used more when we are made less.
How beautiful and how wonderful
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. — Acts 4:12

C. H. Spurgeon's Evening Reading (August 17th)
"This sickness is not unto death." — John 11:4
From our Lord's words we learn that there is a limit to sickness. Here is an "unto" within which its ultimate end is restrained, and beyond which it cannot go. Lazarus might pass through death, but death was not to be the ultimatum of his sickness. In all sickness, the Lord saith to the waves of pain, "Hitherto shall ye go, but no further." His fixed purpose is not the destruction, but the instruction of His people. Wisdom hangs up the thermometer at the furnace mouth, and regulates the heat.
The limit is encouragingly comprehensive. The God of providence has limited the time, manner, intensity, repetition, and effects of all our sicknesses; each throb is decreed, each sleepless hour predestinated, each relapse ordained, each depression of spirit foreknown, and each sanctifying result eternally purposed. Nothing great or small escapes the ordaining hand of Him who numbers the hairs of our head.
This limit is wisely adjusted to our strength, to the end designed, and to the grace apportioned. Affliction comes not at haphazard-the weight of every stroke of the rod is accurately measured. He who made no mistakes in balancing the clouds and meting out the heavens, commits no errors in measuring out the ingredients which compose the medicine of souls. We cannot suffer too much nor be relieved too late.
The limit is tenderly appointed. The knife of the heavenly Surgeon never cuts deeper than is absolutely necessary. "He doth not afflict willingly, nor grieve the children of men." A mother's heart cries, "Spare my child"; but no mother is more compassionate than our gracious God. When we consider how hard-mouthed we are, it is a wonder that we are not driven with a sharper bit. The thought is full of consolation, that He who has fixed the bounds of our habitation, has also fixed the bounds of our tribulation.
C. H. Spurgeon's Morning Reading (August 18th)
"Strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the Lord's house." — Jeremiah 51:51
In this account the faces of the Lord's people were covered with shame, for it was a terrible thing that men should intrude into the Holy Place reserved for the priests alone. Everywhere about us we see like cause for sorrow. How many ungodly men are now educating with the view of entering into the ministry! What a crying sin is that solemn lie by which our whole population is nominally comprehended in a National Church! How fearful it is that ordinances should be pressed upon the unconverted, and that among the more enlightened churches of our land there should be such laxity of discipline. If the thousands who will read this portion shall all take this matter before the Lord Jesus this day, He will interfere and avert the evil which else will come upon His Church. To adulterate the Church is to pollute a well, to pour water upon fire, to sow a fertile field with stones. May we all have grace to maintain in our own proper way the purity of the Church, as being an assembly of believers, and not a nation, an unsaved community of unconverted men.
Our zeal must, however, begin at home. Let us examine ourselves as to our right to eat at the Lord's table. Let us see to it that we have on our wedding garment, lest we ourselves be intruders in the Lord's sanctuaries. Many are called, but few are chosen; the way is narrow, and the gate is strait. O for grace to come to Jesus aright, with the faith of God's elect. He who smote Uzzah for touching the ark is very jealous of His two ordinances; as a true believer I may approach them freely, as an alien I must not touch them lest I die. Heartsearching is the duty of all who are baptized or come to the Lord's table. "Search me, O God, and know my way, try me and know my heart."
important study on 7 The Biblical Sin of Usury… https://insighttoincite.substack.com/p/the-biblical-sin-of-usury-and-why — the problem is compounded by fractional reserve banking:
a) ideal honest credit union: dogs working hard at the airport put their earnings into honest money, gold & silver and earn an honest rate, non-usurious and buy treats at the end of each month
versus
b) bank with fractional reserve used by black rock, WEF and other black hats deposit their earnings, bank loans out 10x on what’s on deposit, inflate the prices of everything & now treats & homes cost far too much compared to 45 years or more ago when my neighbor girl around age 10 used to like to eat the dog treats herself
