Musick-al note # 152                            What good are warnings if they are continually ignored? Jesus warned of coming disaster under certain conditions, does man have the right to say He is wrong?  To ignore His words and teach otherwise is to call Him a liar!  Dare we to do so and think that we canContinue reading “WARNING – WARNING – WARNING”

Musick-al note # 152                     Paul said in Ephesians 1:3 blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with all spiritual blessing in Christ in heavenly places.”  This means that if one is to have remission of sins (Acts 22:16), the gift of the Holy Spirit (ActsContinue reading “SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS ARE IN CHRIST”

Musick-al note # 151                   In the heart of every man lies a desire to live eternally and great wealth has been spent to assure that man keeps living in this world. Observation and experience teaches us that we cannot live in this world eternally. It is destined that man shall die and then comesContinue reading “THE INHERITANCE OF ETERNAL LIFE”

  Musick-al note # 150                   When one reads carefully James 2:14-26, they will see that faith without works of obedience is dead!  Most of Hebrews 11 clearly shows the same thing. Each of these men who were saved or blessed by faith were blessed WHEN, AND ONLY WHEN, they did exactly what GodContinue reading “FAITH LEADS TO SALVATION”

Musick-al Note # 149                       The church which was established by our Lord Jesus is the greatest institution in the world.  It was built by the greatest architect of all time, founded upon the chief corner-stone, has the Son of God as its head, bought by the precious blood of the Lamb and the BibleContinue reading “A FORCE OR A FARCE”

 Musick-al note #  148                    What is a parable and why did Jesus use them in speaking to the Pharisees, Scribes and other Jews? A Parable is an earthly story told to illustrate a spiritual truth.  The meaning of the word is “to lay alongside for comparison”. Jesus used many stories from the dailyContinue reading “WE ARE TO KNOW THE TRUTH”

Musick-al note # 147                      Jesus taught in his parable that the kingdom of heaven is like a marriage feast given for the king’s son. A good study of it reveals many lessons to be gained, many invited guests ignored the invitation, and others turned to other pursuits giving no care or concernContinue reading “DRESSED FOR THE BANQUET”

 Musick-al Note #   146                             Do you expect to do no work in the church, make no commitments, attend only when you desire, live as you want to live, have little to do with the brethren, encourage no one, take no responsibility in the vineyard of the Lord and still get to heaven?  Our LordContinue reading “NO WORK – NO REWARD”

Musick-al Note # 145                                                We are prone to excuse ourselves when we fail to attend meetings of the church, to teach a class, to visit the sick, to help another member, to send an encouraging card, or just to see a need and do it.  What kind of work in the church canContinue reading “EXCUSES”
