The Need For Divine Change - Multitudes are without God, without Christ, without hope in the world. That is the way Paul speaks of them. That distinction is there throughout the Bible - not just here - but here the Holy Spirit directs the apostle to focus on this distinction. Those who are in the flesh: that is who are unregenerate, who are not born of God, who not in Christ.
Let Marriage Be Held In Honour Among All - The Bible is telling us: Let marriage always be thought of as precious. Let it be treasured like gold and silver and rare jewels. Let it be revered and respected like the noblest, most virtuous person you have ever known.
Parable of the Vine and the Branches, John 15:5 - Many are called to become leaders, assisting others in their spiritual journey. Spiritual leaders - clergy or lay, seek to meet the needs of people in their own congregations or communities of faith. But spiritual leaders have unique and often overlooked needs of their own.
Confidence In Prayer - Are you tired of praying and not getting results in your prayer life? If so, you probably need to examine your confidence level in this area. A lack of confidence in prayer simply comes from not knowing God's Word. Too many Christians pray emotional, fear-based prayers, hoping that they get through to God.
The Lord's Supper.
Understanding the unique meaning of the
bread and of the cup in the Lord's Supper
The bread and cup of the Lord’s Supper are clearly the two most ingenious symbols the world has ever known. These two symbols have unique, definite meanings that literally summarise the entire Christian life.
They summarise the whole Bible, both Old and New Testament. In a general sort of way, the bread represents half of the Bible while the cup represents the other half. Every scripture pertaining to our walk with the Lord can be seen as relating to the bread, or the cup, or usually both.
These two elements are a "theological" masterpiece. Unfortunately, this masterpiece as been marred and distorted. Much of its meaning has been lost.
I am sure that the reader will be amazed to see how much the bread and cup stand for. That the Christian life and the entire counsel of scripture can be summed up and encapsulated by two symbols is something to behold.
A correct understanding of the bread and the cup will keep the believer doctrinally sound and balanced. It will keep him or her spiritually on track and in communion with the Lord. Churches, ministries and people will be measured, corrected and helped by the true meaning of the elements. The believer will begin to walk in the authority, power and glory that Jesus Christ intended for him. For your own sake, slow down and take the time to get a clear understanding of His body and His blood.
