God Never Fails: Joshua 21:45

Joshua 21:45 is a bible verse that firmly establishes the truth that God keeps his Word. Not one of God's good promises has ever failed, not before the time of Joshua, not after, and not now.

Related to God's Word, in the New Living Translation, Isaiah 55:10–11 says, "The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it."

3 keys to access the blessing of the Lord

“At that time the Lord set apart the tribe of Levi to carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to stand before the Lord to minister and to pronounce blessings in his name, as they still do today.” Deuteronomy 10:8 NIV

I’m sure by now you’ve heard the worship anthem “The Blessing.” It’s straight out of scripture, super anointed, and set to memorable and powerful melody and chords. As I listened for the first few times through, I was overwhelmed by the fact that God is FOR us and WANTS to bless us. I once heard it put like this - blessing in Ancient Hebrew meant: anointed to win, empowered to overcome, and impossible to curse! (definition from Cheryl Salem) Especially during the tumultuous times the world is experiencing...we need to walk in the blessing of the Lord!

One scripture that kept running through my mind was Deuteronomy 10:8 where it said that God appointed the priests to pronounce blessings in His name. Their words were the avenue through which the blessing of the Lord would come upon the people.

When Will The Rapture Occur?

Reading through Mark 13 multiple times this week reignites my interest in eschatology. That’s just a big word meaning the theology and doctrines of the last days. As a follower of Jesus, I believe the Bible is clear that God has a plan for humanity that had a beginning and an end, and that this earth we live on will not last forever. Despite what humanism teaches, we are not going to evolve and improve and save the world.

If you care to read and believe, the Bible has lots to say about the end times. Not all of it is crystal clear, and there are different interpretations of how the end times will play out. One often-debated topic is the rapture of the church. Theologians don’t agree on when it will happen, but I don’t think there’s any question from a straightforward, literal read of scripture that there will be a rapture. God will rescue His bride, the body of Christ, and take us to heaven.

1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 – But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore comfort one another with these words.

What does it mean to believe in God?

Simply put, to believe in God is to possess confidence in Him. To believe in God includes an acknowledgement of His existence, of course, but true belief in God is more than that. Theism is a great place to start, but it’s not the goal of the journey.

To believe in God is necessary to having religious faith. Scripture says that believing in the true God is foundational to a relationship with Him: “Without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).

Most basically, to believe in God requires a belief that He actually exists. There are many people around the world who believe in the supernatural world, which would include God or “the gods.” Even if we exclude adherents of pagan religions, there are still many people who believe in a single, personal God. This is an important step, but simply believing that God exists is not enough. As James 2:19 explains, the demons believe in God’s existence as well. Simple acknowledgement of God’s existence does not make one godly.

Is the End Near?

Will God let humans continue to dominate one another and threaten the future of mankind? No, as we have seen, he will step in and bring an end to centuries of misery and oppression. The Creator of humans and the earth wants you to know that his time to take action is approaching. How does he reveal that vital knowledge?

Consider this illustration: When you travel by car, you might first consult online sources, maps, and written directions. Then, as you see signs and landmarks that match what the directions say, you gain confidence that you are nearing your destination. In a similar way, God has given us his Word, which describes striking global trends. As we see those landmark events unfolding, we become convinced that we are in the time period leading up to the end.

The Bible explains that world history would reach a unique, pivotal time period that would culminate in the end. That time would see a combination of worldwide events and circumstances that differs from anything in mankind’s history. Consider some of the features mentioned in God’s Word.

What Will We Do in Heaven?

Revelation 22:1-5 

INTRODUCTION: Our message series is called Real Answers about Heaven, and we have been learning from the Bible what heaven will be really like. We have looked at so many topics over the past seven weeks, but one thing we haven’t spent a lot of time talking about yet is what will we do in heaven? We know it’s going to be good, but what will we actually do there?

And the short answer is, “A lot!” If you have ever worried that heaven might be boring in any way, I trust this message will convince you otherwise. (Read Revelation 22:1-5 and pray.) ———————

Going to heaven—how can I guarantee my eternal destination?

Now as then, Acts 4:12 is not politically correct. Today it’s popular to say, “Everyone’s going to heaven” or “All paths lead to heaven.” There are many who think they can have heaven without having Jesus. They want the glory, but they don’t want to be bothered by the cross, much less the One who died there. Many don’t want to accept Jesus as the only way of going to heaven and are determined to find another path. But Jesus warns us that no other path exists and that the consequence for rejecting this truth is an eternity in hell. The message is clear: “Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life, but whoever rejects the Son will not see life, for God’s wrath remains on them” (John 3:36). Faith in Christ is the key to going to heaven.

Some will argue that it’s extremely narrow-minded of God to provide only one way to heaven. But, frankly, in light of mankind’s rebellion against God, it’s extremely broad-minded for Him to provide any way to heaven. We deserve judgment, but God gives us the way of escape by sending His one-and-only Son to die for our sins. Whether someone sees this as narrow or broad, it’s the truth. The good news is that Jesus died and rose again; those who are going to heaven have received this gospel by faith.
