Book excerpt: THE CHURCH HAS LONG AWAITED THE MIDNIGHT CRYWe live in a sinful world. We live in a world filled with violence, hatred, hopelessness and every evil thing that the heart can imagine, but from the beginning of time God has a people. Though a minority they love Him and choose the way of righteousness. God promised a Saviour to save this world from the penalty of sin. Jesus our Saviour came and looking into the future to the end of this wicked world, He sees the disappointment that some of His people will experience. Some are foolish and will be greatly disappointed but unable to do anything about it.Events taking place around the world are ominous. Christ's return is drawing nigh and His church is sleeping! Disappointment awaits some of His people! Now is the time to keep our lamps trimmed and burning in preparation for the midnight cry and the coming of Christ. Do you discern the times? Get ready! Get ready for our redemption is truly drawing nigh!

The most eloquent measure of his classic The Parable of the Ten Virgins is that there is a scarcely a page in The Religious Affections where Jonathan Edwards does not reference Shepard's work.

Download or read book The Wheat and Tares and the Ten Virgins written by James Elliott and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2021-10-18 with total page 143 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Wheat and Tares and the Ten Virgins are two parables that are not often talked about by theologians, bishops, and the fivefold ministry of apostles, prophets, evangelists, pastors and teachers. And this is due in part, in my opinion, because there is an obscurity as to who are the tares and the five foolish virgins in those parables that the Lord Jesus is referring to, who are not only in the world, but also who call the Lord Jesus as their Savior. So, the tares that I’m going to put a spotlight on are those preachers and false teachers of God's word be they called Pastor, Bishop, Apostle, Elder, Father, Minister, Reverend, Dr. Reverend, Reverend Dr, whatever title these tare preachers and false teachers of God’s word prefer. And of the doctrines the devils that have been sown, through them, into the body of Christ, as well as who are the five foolish virgins out of the Ten who got left behind.
Download or read book Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Matthean Parables Volume I written by Kenneth P. Minkema and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2012-05-09 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first volume of Sermons by Jonathan Edwards on the Matthean Parables contains a previously unpublished series by Edwards on Jesus' Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins, as found in Matthew 25. Edwards preached these sermons in 1737-38, in the lull between the Connecticut Valley Revival of 1734-35 and the Great Awakening, which started in Massachusetts in late 1740. Not only does this series have significance for its place in the Protestant evangelical awakening of the eighteenth century, but it is also an important index of Edwards' developing thought on the nature of sainthood and related topics of theoretical and practical Christianity, particularly in the context of widespread spiritual renewal. To assist the reader, preceding the series are two introductions that describe Edwards' preaching style and method and provide an historical context for the series itself. Prepared from the original manuscripts by the staff of the Jonathan Edwards Center at Yale University, this series represents a significant addition to the available Edwards corpus that will be of interest to scholars, religious leaders, and general readers.

This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 166 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are beginning to see, from what is happening all around the World, that we have entered into the last days. Men's hearts have started to fail them because of anxiety and fear. People are worried about the future - not sure who to listen to, believe or trust. Disillusions have started to set in, and some of the very things upon which they have built their lives and confidence, have started to shake from beneath their feet. The Bible says "men's hearts will fail them from fear." In contrast, in Isaiah 26:3, the Bible says, "You will keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on You, because he trusts in You." This is the time to return to the God, and He will return to us. Consider these Bible passages: Isaiah 55:7 - Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; Let him return to the LORD, and He will have mercy on him; And to our God, for He will abundantly pardon. It is not his desire that any perish. 2 Peter 3:9 - The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. The Bible tells us that it is a fool that says in his heart that there is no God - the very source and epitome of Life, Creation and Eternity, for in Him they all exist. The Lord owns every life, irrespective of whether that life acknowledges Him as God or not. He has His purpose for each life, and we will discover this purpose in fellowship with Him through Christ, His Spirit, and His Word! The Parable of the Ten virgins is a wake-up call!

Download or read book Lake of Fire Hope for the Wicked One Day Essays in First Christianity written by Jonathan Ramachandran and published by AnonymousChristian.Org. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 1603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christ Centered Universalism has been a Hope in First Christianity among the earliest orthodox Christians as testified even as late in St. Augustine of Hippo's infamous quote in that even he didn't call them as heretics but soft hearted Christians who did not deny Holy Scripture. A form of Christian Universalism by Origen of Alexandria may have been condemned by a later council. For protestants, please take note that both St. Augustine and that later council consists of members who Pray to Virgin Mary something which is absent from even Origen of Alexandria. Therefore, just because something is majority by later early Christianity it does not necessarily mean that it was First Christianity Doctrine. In light of this, we discuss various viewpoints, quotes by Church Fathers and Ancient Christian Writings in support of this Hope. Since the time lapse and loss of records to these First Christians being replaced by later Christianity is hard to trace or prove due to scarcity of evidences, nevertheless we endeavour to present as much as we can including some rarely known quotes within Christian Universalism Hopefuls itself. An example of a set of rare quotes which point to Christ Centered Universalism in this book which may not be popularly known is that by St. Hillary of Poitiers, the Champion of Trinity in the West and a set of interesting quotes likewise by St. Ignatius of Antioch who was a direct disciple if St. John the Apostle of Christ himself. We see traces of such an understanding in a quote by St. Justin Martyr toward the Wicked being made subject to obey God eventually as one child while St. Ireneous of Lyons has a few interesting quotes especially those that relate to the Concept of Ages/Aeons/Olam to come where in a particular instance, St. Ireneus clearly shows that the strongest phrase "ages of Ages" refers to the subset "ages" out of a larger set of "Ages" implying limitedness. Just like God of Abraham does not limit God to Abraham only, the phrase God's Glory to the Age/Aeon/Olam (singular) need not limit God's Glory to one Age only but may be highlighting it for that Age (unknown long time period). We do not need to teach it as a 100% certain doctrine but we may hope for it as the Bible Verses can also be understood consistently to present this Hope in some Way. One Day we will know and all things are possible with God Who Alone Decides. Peace to you.
