Bible Paws

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth!”
The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. Selah – Psalm 46:10-11
Pause and know that He is God.
Pause and exalt His Name.
Pause and recognize His presence.
Pause and know He is our fortress.

WATCH THE FULL EPISODE HERE: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qgm4X... 2 Corinthians 5:1 - For we know that if the tent that is our earthly home is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. For those who may not know, what is the tent? Ephesians 2:8 - For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, Sola Fide – Salvation comes through our faith alone. & Sola Gratia – Salvation is by God’s grace alone. - Romans 10:15-16 - How will they preach unless they are sent? Just as it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news of good things!” 16 However, they did not all heed the good news; for Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So faith comes from hearing, and hearing by the word of Christ. NASB Pastor it says, “they did not all heed the good news” the KJ & ESV say, “obey the gospel”. What does it mean to heed or obey the gospel?

Who is Jesus Christ? The Deity of Christ in the Gospel of Mark
1. The most important question that anyone could possibly ask.
2. His bold claims demand a decision and exclude the possibility for neutrality.
3. The C. S. Lewis trilemma. It is sometimes described as the “Lunatic, Liar, or Lord”, or “Mad, Bad, or God” argument.
4. Who the church has traditionally said Jesus is.
The Nicene Creed & the Chalcedonian Definition of Christ speak about his divinity.

Luke 23:39-43 - One of the criminals who were hanged railed at him, saying, “Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!” But the other rebuked him, saying, “Do you not fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” And he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he said to him, “Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

1.Ephesians 1:4-14
Ephesians 1:4-5 - even as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before Him. In love He predestined us for adoption to Himself as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will,
Ephesians 1:9 - making known to us the mystery of His will, according to His purpose, which He set forth in Christ
Ephesians 1:11 - In Him we have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,
“It is though Paul is unpacking for us the bundle of blessings which God has given us in His Son:
Forgiveness, Redemption, Acceptance. As he unpacks he makes it clear that he is speaking of a plan God has had before we were born.”
Pastor is God just haphazardly working our salvation out?
(Can you believe in the sovereignty of God and logically believe that we choose salvation on our own?)

“Dr Ferguson talks about the Greek word used for ‘to foreknow’”. (with things, to have information beforehand) (with people, an intimate knowledge and communion).
In light of that, what does Jesus mean when He says in Matthew 7:22-24 - On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’?

“based upon this principle:”
Matthew 11:25-28 - At that time Jesus declared, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27 All things have been handed over to Me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal Him. 28 Come to Me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
“These words are unfathomable. They take us into the deep things of God, speaking as they do of the inter-personal relationships of the Father and the Son. They point to mysteries beyond our understanding. But they also speak plainly about how men come to know God in Christ. It is by the choice of the Father and the Son.”

1. Sense of Shame.
Romans 6:21 But what fruit were you getting at that time from the things of which you are now ashamed? For the end of those things is death.
“Pride is #1 on God's hate parade.* and
Sin that used to slink down the back alley—now struts down Main Street!” - Adrian Rogers.
*Proverbs 6:16-17 These six things doth the Lord hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto Him:

Nowadays, how often do we see someone with a sense of shame?

Dr. Ferguson reminds us; “We have already noted that faith and repentance are twin doctrines and cannot be separated. All true evangelical experience necessarily involves.” and “these twin responses to the grace of God are not only joined together at their birth, they remain inseparable throughout the whole of life.
The chapter title is “True Repentance”, so there must also be false repentance, how prevalent do you think this is in Christianity today? How important is it for local churches to recognize? What steps should be taken?

Born Again - Chapter 6 - The Christian Life
So far we have discussed our need of God’s saving grace, God’s call to grace, & Conviction of sin. Today we are going to talk about the phrase, “born again” and the doctrine of Regeneration.
Dr Ferguson says, “it is perhaps the most crucial doctrine of all” and “to mistake the way here will mean that the whole focus of our understanding is seriously at fault”.
Why do you think he says that Regeneration is perhaps the most crucial doctrine for understanding the Christian Life?

Romans 6:13 - Do not present your members to sin as instruments for unrighteousness, but present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life, and your members to God as instruments for righteousness.
What does “present yourselves to God as those who have been brought from death to life” mean to our Christian Life, our Christian walk?
Take a Bible Paws and consider EVANGELISM & REGENERATION
When we look at the way the Apostles and the early church evangelized, how does it compare with modern church evangelism?
“Regeneration is only mentioned 2 times in Scripture” : Matthew 19:28 - And Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.
And Titus 3:5 - not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Regeneration is not the Gospel, regeneration is a result or product of receiving the Gospel.
Take a Bible Paws and consider abortion
Abortion, recorded April, 5, 2022
We discuss how the news media covers Ukraine civilian deaths versus abortion deaths.
Abortion is sin, repent and believe the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you—unless you believed in vain. For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am the least of the apostles, unworthy to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain. On the contrary, I worked harder than any of them, though it was not I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. - 1 Corinthians 15:1-11

ONLY TWO KINGDOMS.
In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God. - 2 Corinthians 4:4
He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. - Colossians 1:13-14
