Musick-al note # 134         God speaks to us today through His Son (Hebrews 1:1-2).  The New Testament is the Word that He has given for us to study and know His will. Jesus told His disciples that the Holy Spirit would guide them into all truth (John 14:26, 16:7-16).  Those men wrote His wordsContinue reading “STUDY THE BIBLE – GOD’S WORD”

Musick-al Note # 133           No person can be truly happy in the Christian life until he gives his all to the cause of Christ.  This is not saying one must become a pauper and a beggar for one might do so and be very unhappy because he has not given himself to the Lord. Continue reading “GIVING OURSELVES TO GOD”

Musick-al note # 132       What is the differentiation of the importance of the animal sacrifices of the Old Testament and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the Cross?  God had commanded His people in the Old Testament times to offer sacrifices of bulls, goats, calves and birds.  These were to make atonement for theirContinue reading “ANIMAL SACRIFICE VS JESUS SACRIFICE”

 Musick-al Note # 131              In Matthew 11:16-19 Jesus gives a stirring illustration of the way so many people act in regard to Christianity and their response to Him.  He said, “It is like children playing in the market, one group calls to another group saying, “We have played wedding music and you did notContinue reading “RESPONDING TO GOD’S INVITATION”

 Musick-al note # 129           The origin of sin lies with Satan himself who set himself against God from the creation of the world.  He was able to gather with the angels before God (Job 1:6 and other verses) but the context shows that Satan was against God by tempting Job to do evil. Continue reading “WHAT CAUSES MAN TO SIN?”

Musick-al Note # 128                         God inhabits eternity which surrounds (before, during and after) time and creation. Isaiah stated this when he wrote God’s revelation of Himself, “I am God, and there is no other and there is no other like me. I make known the end from the beginning and from ancient times, whatContinue reading “WE MUST KNOW GOD”

Musick-al note # 127 Christ is the Light (John 1:4-9) – without Him, we walk in darkness separated from God and the path that leads to glory. Christ is the way, the truth and the life (John 13:6). – Without the way, we are wanderers       and vagabonds without direction and knowledge of the eternity toContinue reading “WITHOUT CHRIST”
