“The Missing Lamps”
 “The Missing Lamps” Matthew 5:16 “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” In a certain mountain village in Europe several centuries ago, a certain nobleman wondered what legacy he should leave to his townspeople. At last he decided to build them a church. No one saw the complete plans for the church until it was finished. When the people gathered, they marveled at its beauty and how complete it was. Then someone asked, “But where are the Lamps? How will it be lighted? The nobleman pointed to some brackets in the walls. Then he gave each family a lamp which they were to bring with them each time they came to worship. “Each time you are here the area where you are seated will be lit,” the nobleman said. Each time you are not here, that area will be dark. This is to remind you that when- ever you fail to come to church, some part of God’s house will be dark.” Our Lord Jesus Christ said, “I AM the light of the world. He who follows Me shall not walk in darkness, but have the light of life.” He also said, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a Hill cannot be hidden.” God has called each of us as believers in Christ to be a reflection of His Son Jesus Christ who is the Light of the world. We are to re- flect Jesus as the Moon reflects the Sun. We are to let our light so shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify our Father who is in heaven. Our lights are not only to be seen in the House of God, the Sanctuary of the Lord, but out in the world where people are walking in darkness and need the “Light” the most. Are we letting our light shine in the house of God and in the world of darkness? |
THE DAY OF OUR GREAT GOD
 A WORD FROM PASTOR KINNEY "THE DAY OF OUR GREAT GOD!" Malachi 4:1For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, and all the proud, yes, all who do wickedly will be stubble. And the day which is coming shall burn them up,” Says the LORD of hosts, “that will leave them neither root nor branch. Malachi is the last prophet of the Old Testament. He gives revelation to the people of Israel as to what to expect in the days to come. Malachi reveals a “Day” is coming. This day will come like a burning oven. The oven that is burning is to be the judgment and the wrath of God upon the “proud.” The proud are those who do wickedly. Those who do wickedly are compared to straw and stubble or dry wood. The fire of God’s judgment is going to “burn them up.” Dr. R.G. Lee said, “Pay Day comes some Day!” Yes, it is written in God’s Word! It is written in God’s universe! “Pay Day is coming some Day for everyone! Not one person will escape God’s Pay Day. For the proud who have done wickedly their pay day will be a day of weeping, mourning, crying and wailing and gnashing of teeth. It will be a “Day” of condemnation like never before. Whatever a man has sown, that he will surely reap. Whatever a woman has sown that she will surely reap. These will hear God say, “Depart from Me! I never knew you! And they shall be cast into the Lake which burns with fire and brimstone forever and forever!” With the redeemed and saved by God’s grace there shall be another eternal outcome. They shall hear the Lord say, “Enter you blessed of My Father into the kingdom of God.” These shall enter the New Jerusalem with Jesus Christ and so shall they ever be with the Lord. He shall be their God and they shall be His people forever and ever, Jews and Gentiles shall dwell with Him forever and ever. Malachi says that the destruction of the wicked shall be such that it shall leave them neither root nor branch, total destruction, but not annihilation. Their burning shall be everlasting!  |
THE FAITHFULNESS OF GOD!
 2 Timothy 4:17-18 But the Lord stood with me and strengthened me, so the message might be preached fully through me, and that all the Gentiles might hear. Also I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His Heavenly kingdom. To Him be glory forever and ever. Amen! Do you believe that God is always faithful? Even though we are not faithful, we can never say that God is not faithful. He always is and never fails to be faithful. As the song writer said: “Great is thy faithfulness. Great is thy faithfulness. Morning by morning new mercies l see. All I have needed thy hands have provided. Great is thy faithfulness Lord unto me.” As the Apostle Paul was nearing the end of his life, when everyone else had forsaken him, Paul knew that the Lord was faithful. Paul said: “The Lord stood with me and strengthened me….” “I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion.” i.e. the king of Rome. “ He will deliver me from every evil work and preserve me for His Heavenly Kingdom. ”Yes, God is faithful. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. God does not change. We may change. We may not be faithful, but God is always faithful. He is faithful in the morning! He is faithful at evening! He is faithful in the night! He never fails. God is the only one of whom it may be said, “He is always…….” When you and I have finished our race, when we have fought the good fight, when our time of departure is come and we look back over our lives as Paul did, can we say, “I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith?” One thing we can say is, “God has been faithful. God has never failed me!” Amen! |

JESUS TEACHING ON MARRIAGE AND DIVORCE
 FROM THE PASTOR'S HEART “Jesus Teaching on Marriage and Divorce!” Matthew 19:3-10 The Pharisees also came to Him, testing Him, and saying to Him, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for just any reason?” And Jesus answered and said unto them, “Have you not read that He who made them at the beginning made them male and female, and said, ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh? So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let not man separate.” They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and put her away? He said to them, “Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.” In the Law of God, in Exodus 20:14, the Lord God said, “You shall not commit adultery.” This Law of God applies to both men and women. In a day when men have changed the definition of “marriage” to mean so much other that what God intended, we must come back to the true teaching of our Lord Jesus on this mat- ter. God’s first Covenant was made between man and Himself. Marriage is God’s second institution and covenant for mankind. Marriage is the “Covenant relationship between One man and One woman for One lifetime, (i.e. until death separates them.) When two persons are married they become One in their flesh. They are no longer Two. God hates divorce. (See Malachi 2:16). Jesus taught that those who divorce commit Adultery, which God commanded mankind not to do. Jesus straightened out the religious leaders of Israel when they tried to make excuses for divorce. Jesus said, “Whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.” Jesus said, “From the beginning it was not so!” (i.e. permitted by God.) “Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate! |
“On Being Light in Darkness!”
 Matthew 5:14-16 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. “Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, that it gives light to all who are in the house.” Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” All those who have been born of God from above have changed from a life of darkness unto a life of light. Speaking of those who are saved Jesus said, “You are the light of the world.” Paul writes to the believers in Ephesus contrasting the life of darkness and light. Ephesians 5:8-14 For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Walk as children of light (for the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, righteousness, and truth), finding out what is acceptable to the Lord. And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to speak of those things which are done by them in secret. But all things that are exposed are made manifest by the light, for whatever makes manifest is light. Therefore, He says: “Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.” We were once blind and dead in our trespasses and sin. Satan had blinded our eyes as he has blinded the eyes of most of the world, but now we see through the Spirit of the living God those things of the Light. Let us walk in the Spirit so that the light of the world, Jesus Christ, can shine through us. Let the unfruitful works of darkness be exposed by our light so it will be made known what is good and what is evil and so all may know that you are in the Light. After all, “You tell a tree by the fruit it bears. If the tree is good, then the fruit is good. If the tree bad, then the fruit is bad.” Men can tell the kind of trees we are by the fruit we bear!! They know if we are “darkness” or “light.” Let us find out from the Word of God what is acceptable to God and then live in the Light of God. |
