Lifted By Grace: February 2009
http://liftedbygrace.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 16, 2009. Therefore I Have Hope. 8220;This I recall to my mind, therefore I have hope. The Lord’s lovingkindnesses indeed never cease, for His compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. 'The Lord is my portion,' says my soul, 'therefore I have hope in Him.'". Have you ever felt like that? Have you ever found yourself at some phase of life wondering, “Where is God’s will in all of this? 8220;I have become a laughingstock to all my people.”. So, I am no...

Lifted By Grace: July 2009
http://liftedbygrace.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 30, 2009. Ensuring a Useful, Fruitful Life. Again and again, the Holy Spirit moved these writers throughout God's Word to leave us clues that help us gauge the validity and strength of our faith. But, the one that caught my heart this last week is found in 2 Peter, chapter one. I feel like responding to Peter's comments with, "Lord, why me? What could You have possibly seen in me that would justify You doing all of this for me? What a immense truth to wrap your mind around! There is not en...

Lifted By Grace: December 2009
http://liftedbygrace.blogspot.com/2009_12_01_archive.html
Tuesday, December 29, 2009. Romans in the New Year. Throughout history, Paul's letter to the Romans has transformed individuals. John Calvin, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon - many influential teachers and preachers of the Christian faith were changed either directly or indirectly from the words to the Roman saints. And, in turn, these great men (and women) have changed the way we perceive church, life and God. For the same reason, I would like to suggest that you try to follow the same study guidelines as...

Lifted By Grace: March 2009
http://liftedbygrace.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, March 19, 2009. Doing All to the Glory of God. 8220;Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God”. Have you ever REALLY looked at what that phrase means – to “do all to the glory of God”? I mean.I sang that old hymn “To God Be the Glory” many times in my life.yet I don’t believe I have ever really wondered whether or not anything I did qualified as something done to the glory of God. Sure What Christian doesn’t want their life to glorify God, right? I think thi...

Lifted By Grace: Romans 1:8-15 ~ Paul's Reasons & His Gospel
http://liftedbygrace.blogspot.com/2010/01/romans-18-15-pauls-reasons-his-gospel.html
Wednesday, January 13, 2010. Romans 1:8-15 Paul's Reasons and His Gospel. The Apostle John openly explains why he wrote the Gospel letter:. 8220;but these (signs of Jesus) have been written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing you may have life in His name” (John 20:31). Is there some agenda behind the writer’s letter? Is the letter merely information or is it correction or is it encouragement? I realize this may seem elementary, but it really bothers me wh...

Thursday, January 29, 2009. Taking the Mystery Out of Knowing God's Will. Here is another lesson from John MacArthur: Taking the Mystery Out of Knowing God's Will. It is a good reminder that if we delight in the Lord, He will give us the desires of our hearts. But, how do we know for sure? Cut and paste the following link in your browser to hear a sermon that just might change the way you live. Friday, January 9, 2009. By The Grace Of God. By The Grace Of God. Let my resolve be to serve that purpose, how...

Lifted By Grace: Romans 1:1-7 ~ Paul's Greetings
http://liftedbygrace.blogspot.com/2010/01/romans-11-7-pauls-greetings.html
Friday, January 8, 2010. Romans 1:1-7 Paul's Greetings. Most study bibles give a decent rundown of the author, timeframe and background to this Epistle. So, there is not much we can add as way as introduction. We simply reviewed the comments in our own bibles and listened to the opening comments from John MacArthur’s series study of Romans. John goes so far as to address the Revelation of Jesus Christ “to His bond-servants” (Revelation 1:1). Jesus as “Lord” wasn’t just a nice title used...Honestly, I don...

Lifted By Grace: WARNING: BIBLE STUDY WILL LEAD TO SPIRITUAL BATTLES
http://liftedbygrace.blogspot.com/2010/01/warning-bible-study-will-lead-to.html
Tuesday, January 12, 2010. WARNING: BIBLE STUDY WILL LEAD TO SPIRITUAL BATTLES. I should have known this would happen. We prayed that God would change us, right? We sought to be more like our Lord and Savior, right? God will have to transform all of the poisonous, fallen characteristics that are rooted deeply into our hearts, right? Moreover, look at the some of the topics Paul addresses in Romans:. 1) The depravity of mankind (Rom. 1:18-32). 2) The mastery of sin over our lives (Rom. 6). La Raza, the KK...

Lifted By Grace: Romans 1:15 ~ One Last Thought
http://liftedbygrace.blogspot.com/2010/01/romans-115-one-last-thought.html
Monday, January 25, 2010. Romans 1:15 One Last Thought. Well, after struggling with the question – why did Paul desire to preach the gospel to the people at Rome if they were already Christians – Larissa and I have come to two possible conclusions. Here are some of the subjects Paul addresses in this letter:. 8220;What is the good news of God? Is Jesus really God? What proves He is God? Why did He come? What is a saint? What is God like? How can God send people to hell? Why do men reject God and Christ?
