Rehoboam's wives and children. 12) - Preface - Rehoboam forsaking the Lord is punished by Shishak's innvasion: he and the princes repenting at the preaching of Shemaiah are delivered from destruction, but not from spoil.

Revelation 2 Daily Light - Morning Let not....your good be evil spoken of. Abstain from all appearance of evil. - Providing for honest things, not only in the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of men. - For so is the will of God, that with well doing ye may put to silence the ignorance of foolish men. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters. Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. Brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. - Take heed lest by any means this liberty of your become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. - Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. - Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

It is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. - Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be sober, and hope to the end for the grace that is to be brought unto you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. - Let your loins be girded about, and your lights burning; and ye yourselves like unto men that wait for their lord.

A - They plainly teach us that our Lord Jesus Christ will come a second time; which is the joy and hope of all believers. BAPTIST CONFESSION OF FAITH Of Christ the Mediator Chapter 8 PARAGRAPH 1 It pleased God, in His eternal purpose, to choose and ordain the Lord Jesus, His only begotten Son, according to the covenant made between them both, to be the mediator between God and man;1 the prophet,2 priest,3 and king;4 head and savior of the church,5 the heir of all things,6 and judge of the world;7 unto whom He did from all eternity give a people to be His seed and to be by Him in time redeemed, called, justified, sanctified, and glorified.8 1 Isa. 42:1; 1 Pet. 1:19–20 2 Acts 3:22 3 Heb. 5:5–6 4 Ps. 2:6; Luke 1:33 5 Eph. 1:22–23 6 Heb. 1:2 7 Acts 17:31 8 Isa. 53:10; John 17:6; Rom. 8:30 Robert Murray M'Cheyne - God Makes A Path - Daily Devotional Readings A true mark of grace That I may know him..... Philippians 3 v 10 It is a sure mark of grace to desire more. The High Priest had a beautiful breast plate over his breast, adorned with jewels - make me one of these. He had also a jewel on each shoulder - make me one of these. These were bound with chains of gold; but the believer with chains of love. This is a true mark of grace. If you be contented to remain where you are, without anymore nearness to God, or anymore holiness, this is a clear mark you have got none. Hide me deeper, bind me closer, and carry me more completely.
