“Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God concerning them is for their salvation!
I can testify about them that they have zeal for God, but not according to knowledge.
Because they disregarded the righteousness from God and attempted to establish their own righteousness, they have not submitted themselves to God’s righteousness.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.
For Moses writes about the righteousness that is from the law: The one who does these things will live by them.
But the righteousness that comes from faith speaks like this: Do not say in your heart, “Who will go up to heaven? ” that is, to bring Christ down or, “Who will go down into the abyss? ” that is, to bring Christ up from the dead.
On the contrary, what does it say?
The message is near you, in your mouth and in your heart.

This is the message of faith that we proclaim: If you confess with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.

One believes with the heart, resulting in righteousness, and one confesses with the mouth, resulting in salvation.
Now the Scripture says, Everyone who believes on Him will not be put to shame, for there is no distinction between Jew and Greek, since the same Lord of all is rich to all who call on Him.
For everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.
But how can they call on Him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about Him?
And how can they hear without a preacher?
And how can they preach unless they are sent?
As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who announce the gospel of good things!
But all did not obey the gospel.
For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our message?
So faith comes from what is heard, and what is heard comes through the message about Christ.
But I ask, “Did they not hear? ”
Yes, they did: Their voice has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the inhabited world.
But I ask, “Did Israel not understand? ”
First, Moses said: I will make you jealous of those who are not a nation; I will make you angry by a nation that lacks understanding.
And Isaiah says boldly: I was found by those who were not looking for Me; I revealed Myself to those who were not asking for Me.
But to Israel he says: All day long I have spread out My hands to a disobedient and defiant people.”
Romans 10:1-21

“Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord shines over you.

For look, darkness covers the earth, and total darkness the peoples; but the Lord will shine over you, and His glory will appear over you.
Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your radiance.
Raise your eyes and look around: they all gather and come to you; your sons will come from far away, and your daughters will be carried on the hip.
Then you will see and be radiant, and your heart will tremble and rejoice, because the riches of the sea will become yours and the wealth of the nations will come to you.
Caravans of camels will cover your land — young camels of Midian and Ephah — all of them will come from Sheba.
They will carry gold and frankincense and proclaim the praises of the Lord.
All the flocks of Kedar will be gathered to you; the rams of Nebaioth will serve you and go up on My altar as an acceptable sacrifice.
I will glorify My beautiful house.
Who are these who fly like a cloud, like doves to their shelters?
Yes, the islands will wait for Me with the ships of Tarshish in the lead, to bring your children from far away, their silver and gold with them, for the honor of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, who has glorified you.
Foreigners will build up your walls, and their kings will serve you.
Although I struck you in My wrath, yet I will show mercy to you with My favor.
Your gates will always be open; they will never be shut day or night so that the wealth of the nations may be brought into you, with their kings being led in procession.
For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve you will perish; those nations will be annihilated.
The glory of Lebanon will come to you — its pine, fir, and cypress together — to beautify the place of My sanctuary, and I will glorify My dwelling place.
The sons of your oppressors will come and bow down to you; all who reviled you will fall facedown at your feet.
They will call you the City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Instead of your being deserted and hated, with no one passing through, I will make you an object of eternal pride, a joy from age to age.
You will nurse on the milk of nations, and nurse at the breast of kings; you will know that I, Yahweh, am your Savior and Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
I will bring gold instead of bronze; I will bring silver instead of iron, bronze instead of wood, and iron instead of stones.
I will appoint peace as your guard and righteousness as your ruler.
Violence will never again be heard of in your land; devastation and destruction will be gone from your borders.
But you will name your walls salvation and your gates, praise.
The sun will no longer be your light by day, and the brightness of the moon will not shine on you; but the Lord will be your everlasting light, and your God will be your splendor.
Your sun will no longer set, and your moon will not fade; for the Lord will be your everlasting light, and the days of your sorrow will be over.
Then all your people will be righteous; they will possess the land forever; they are the branch I planted, the work of My hands, so that I may be glorified.
The least will become a thousand, the smallest a mighty nation.
I am Yahweh; I will accomplish it quickly in its time.”
Isaiah 60:1-22 HCSB

A Reading to Bless and Edify God's children October 19th...

“Brothers, I was not able to speak to you as spiritual people but as people of the flesh, as babies in Christ.

I gave you milk to drink, not solid food, because you were not yet ready for it.
In fact, you are still not ready, because you are still fleshly.
For since there is envy and strife among you, are you not fleshly and living like unbelievers?

For whenever someone says, “I’m with Paul,” and another, “I’m with Apollos,” are you not unspiritual people?
What then is Apollos?
And what is Paul?
They are servants through whom you believed, and each has the role the Lord has given.
I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth.
So then neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but only God who gives the growth.
Now the one planting and the one watering are one in purpose, and each will receive his own reward according to his own labor.
For we are God’s coworkers.
You are God’s field, God’s building.
According to God’s grace that was given to me, I have laid a foundation as a skilled master builder, and another builds on it.
But each one must be careful how he builds on it.
For no one can lay any other foundation than what has been laid down.
That foundation is Jesus Christ.
If anyone builds on that foundation with gold, silver, costly stones, wood, hay, or straw, each one’s work will become obvious, for the day will disclose it, because it will be revealed by fire; the fire will test the quality of each one’s work.
If anyone’s work that he has built survives, he will receive a reward.
If anyone’s work is burned up, it will be lost, but he will be saved; yet it will be like an escape through fire.
Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s sanctuary and that the Spirit of God lives in you?
If anyone destroys God’s sanctuary, God will destroy him; for God’s sanctuary is holy, and that is what you are.
No one should deceive himself.
If anyone among you thinks he is wise in this age, he must become foolish so that he can become wise.
For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God, since it is written: He catches the wise in their craftiness; and again, The Lord knows that the reasonings of the wise are meaningless.
So no one should boast in human leaders, for everything is yours — whether Paul or Apollos or Cephas or the world or life or death or things present or things to come — everything is yours, and you belong to Christ, and Christ belongs to God.”
1 Corinthians 3:1-23 HCSB

A Reading for Worship and our message today October 18th at the Christian Harvest Church of the Way...

““Now if you faithfully obey the Lord your God and are careful to follow all His commands I am giving you today, the Lord your God will put you far above all the nations of the earth.
All these blessings will come and overtake you, because you obey the Lord your God: You will be blessed in the city and blessed in the country.
Your descendants will be blessed, and your land’s produce, and the offspring of your livestock, including the young of your herds and the newborn of your flocks.
Your basket and kneading bowl will be blessed. You will be blessed when you come in and blessed when you go out.
“The Lord will cause the enemies who rise up against you to be defeated before you.
They will march out against you from one direction but flee from you in seven directions.
The Lord will grant you a blessing on your storehouses and on everything you do; He will bless you in the land the Lord your God is giving you.
The Lord will establish you as His holy people, as He swore to you, if you obey the commands of the Lord your God and walk in His ways.
Then all the peoples of the earth will see that you are called by Yahweh’s name, and they will stand in awe of you.
The Lord will make you prosper abundantly with children, the offspring of your livestock, and your land’s produce in the land the Lord swore to your fathers to give you.
The Lord will open for you His abundant storehouse, the sky, to give your land rain in its season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations, but you will not borrow.
The Lord will make you the head and not the tail; you will only move upward and never downward if you listen to the Lord your God’s commands I am giving you today and are careful to follow them.
Do not turn aside to the right or the left from all the things I am commanding you today, and do not go after other gods to worship them.
“But if you do not obey the Lord your God by carefully following all His commands and statutes I am giving you today, all these curses will come and overtake you: You will be cursed in the city and cursed in the country.
Your basket and kneading bowl will be cursed.
Your descendants will be cursed, and your land’s produce, the young of your herds, and the newborn of your flocks.
You will be cursed when you come in and cursed when you go out.
The Lord will send against you curses, confusion, and rebuke in everything you do until you are destroyed and quickly perish, because of the wickedness of your actions in abandoning Me.
The Lord will make pestilence cling to you until He has exterminated you from the land you are entering to possess.
The Lord will afflict you with wasting disease, fever, inflammation, burning heat, drought, blight, and mildew; these will pursue you until you perish.
The sky above you will be bronze, and the earth beneath you iron.
The Lord will turn the rain of your land into falling dust; it will descend on you from the sky until you are destroyed.
The Lord will cause you to be defeated before your enemies.
You will march out against them from one direction but flee from them in seven directions.
You will be an object of horror to all the kingdoms of the earth.
Your corpses will be food for all the birds of the sky and the wild animals of the land, with no one to scare them away.
“The Lord will afflict you with the boils of Egypt, tumors, a festering rash, and scabies, from which you cannot be cured.
The Lord will afflict you with madness, blindness, and mental confusion, so that at noon you will grope as a blind man gropes in the dark.
You will not be successful in anything you do.
You will only be oppressed and robbed continually, and no one will help you.
You will become engaged to a woman, but another man will r**e her.
You will build a house but not live in it.
You will plant a vineyard but not enjoy its fruit.
Your ox will be slaughtered before your eyes, but you will not eat any of it.
Your donkey will be taken away from you and not returned to you.
Your flock will be given to your enemies, and no one will help you.
Your sons and daughters will be given to another people, while your eyes grow weary looking for them every day.
But you will be powerless to do anything.
A people you don’t know will eat your land’s produce and everything you have labored for.
You will only be oppressed and crushed continually.
You will be driven mad by what you see.
The Lord will afflict you with painful and incurable boils on your knees and thighs — from the sole of your foot to the top of your head.
“The Lord will bring you and your king that you have appointed to a nation neither you nor your fathers have known, and there you will worship other gods, of wood and stone.
You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you.
“You will sow much seed in the field but harvest little, because locusts will devour it.
You will plant and cultivate vineyards but not drink the w**e or gather the gr**es, because worms will eat them.
You will have olive trees throughout your territory but not anoint yourself with oil, because your olives will drop off.
You will father sons and daughters, but they will not remain yours, because they will be taken prisoner.
Whirring insects will take possession of all your trees and your land’s produce.

The foreign resident among you will rise higher and higher above you, while you sink lower and lower. He will lend to you, but you won’t lend to him. He will be the head, and you will be the tail.

“All these curses will come, pursue, and overtake you until you are destroyed, since you did not obey the Lord your God and keep the commands and statutes He gave you.
These curses will be a sign and a wonder against you and your descendants forever.
Because you didn’t serve the Lord your God with joy and a cheerful heart, even though you had an abundance of everything, you will serve your enemies the Lord will send against you, in famine, thirst, nakedness, and a lack of everything.
He will place an iron yoke on your neck until He has destroyed you.
The Lord will bring a nation from far away, from the ends of the earth, to swoop down on you like an eagle, a nation whose language you don’t understand, a ruthless nation, showing no respect for the old and not sparing the young.
They will eat the offspring of your livestock and your land’s produce until you are destroyed.
They will leave you no grain, new w**e, oil, young of your herds, or newborn of your flocks until they cause you to perish.
They will besiege you within all your gates until your high and fortified walls, that you trust in, come down throughout your land.
They will besiege you within all your gates throughout the land the Lord your God has given you.
“You will eat your children, the flesh of your sons and daughters the Lord your God has given you during the siege and hardship your enemy imposes on you.
The most sensitive and refined man among you will look grudgingly at his brother, the wife he embraces, and the rest of his children, refusing to share with any of them his children’s flesh that he will eat because he has nothing left during the siege and hardship your enemy imposes on you in all your towns.
The most sensitive and refined woman among you, who would not venture to set the sole of her foot on the ground because of her refinement and sensitivity, will begrudge the husband she embraces, her son, and her daughter, the afterbirth that comes out from between her legs and the children she bears, because she will secretly eat them for lack of anything else during the siege and hardship your enemy imposes on you within your gates.
“If you are not careful to obey all the words of this law, which are written in this scroll, by fearing this glorious and awesome name — Yahweh, your God — He will bring extraordinary plagues on you and your descendants, severe and lasting plagues, and terrible and chronic sicknesses.
He will afflict you again with all the diseases of Egypt, which you dreaded, and they will cling to you.
The Lord will also afflict you with every sickness and plague not recorded in the book of this law, until you are destroyed.
Though you were as numerous as the stars of the sky, you will be left with only a few people, because you did not obey the Lord your God.
Just as the Lord was glad to cause you to prosper and to multiply you, so He will also be glad to cause you to perish and to destroy you.
You will be deported from the land you are entering to possess.
Then the Lord will scatter you among all peoples from one end of the earth to the other, and there you will worship other gods, of wood and stone, which neither you nor your fathers have known.
You will find no peace among those nations, and there will be no resting place for the sole of your foot.
There the Lord will give you a trembling heart, failing eyes, and a despondent spirit.
Your life will hang in doubt before you.
You will be in dread night and day, never certain of survival.
In the morning you will say, ‘If only it were evening! ’ and in the evening you will say, ‘If only it were morning! ’ — because of the dread you will have in your heart and because of what you will see.
The Lord will take you back in ships to Egypt by a route that I said you would never see again.
There you will sell yourselves to your enemies as male and female slaves, but no one will buy you.””
Deuteronomy 28:1-68 HCSB

“How did the Bible we hold in our hands reach us?

This morning at Here We Still Stand, Wesley Huff drew on his study of ancient biblical manuscripts to walk us through the history behind our Scriptures and why we can trust them.

From the preservation of the biblical text to William Tyndale’s work translating it into English, his talk reminded us of the extraordinary history behind a familiar gift.

Five hundred years ago, people risked their lives to read and translate what many of us now carry in our pockets. Today, we get to open it and hear Christ proclaimed for us.”

“Hallelujah! I will praise the Lord with all my heart in the assembly of the upright and in the congregation.

The Lord’s works are great, studied by all who delight in them.

All that He does is splendid and majestic; His righteousness endures forever.
He has caused His wonderful works to be remembered.
The Lord is gracious and compassionate.
He has provided food for those who fear Him; He remembers His covenant forever.
He has shown His people the power of His works by giving them the inheritance of the nations.
The works of His hands are truth and justice; all His instructions are trustworthy.
They are established forever and ever, enacted in truth and in what is right.
He has sent redemption to His people.
He has ordained His covenant forever.
His name is holy and awe-inspiring.
The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow His instructions have good insight.
His praise endures forever.”

“Lord, I call to You; my rock, do not be deaf to me.
If You remain silent to me, I will be like those going down to the Pit.
Listen to the sound of my pleading when I cry to You for help, when I lift up my hands toward Your holy sanctuary.
Do not drag me away with the wicked, with the evildoers, who speak in friendly ways with their neighbors while malice is in their hearts.
Repay them according to what they have done — according to the evil of their deeds.
Repay them according to the work of their hands; give them back what they deserve.
Because they do not consider what the Lord has done or the work of His hands, He will tear them down and not rebuild them.
May the Lord be praised, for He has heard the sound of my pleading.

The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him, and I am helped.
Therefore my heart rejoices, and I praise Him with my song.

The Lord is the strength of His people; He is a stronghold of salvation for His anointed.
Save Your people, bless Your possession, shepherd them, and carry them forever.”
Psalms 28:1-9 HCSB

A Reading to Bless and Edify God's children October 15th...

“Brothers, if someone is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual should restore such a person with a gentle spirit, watching out for yourselves so you also won’t be tempted.
Carry one another’s burdens; in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.
For if anyone considers himself to be something when he is nothing, he deceives himself.

But each person should examine his own work, and then he will have a reason for boasting in himself alone, and not in respect to someone else.
For each person will have to carry his own load.

The one who is taught the message must share all his good things with the teacher.
Don’t be deceived: God is not mocked.
For whatever a man sows he will also reap, because the one who sows to his flesh will reap corruption from the flesh, but the one who sows to the Spirit will reap eternal life from the Spirit.
So we must not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, we must work for the good of all, especially for those who belong to the household of faith.
Look at what large letters I use as I write to you in my own handwriting.
Those who want to make a good impression in the flesh are the ones who would compel you to be circumcised — but only to avoid being persecuted for the cross of Christ.
For even the circumcised don’t keep the law themselves; however, they want you to be circumcised in order to boast about your flesh.
But as for me, I will never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The world has been crucified to me through the cross, and I to the world.
For both circumcision and uncircumcision mean nothing; what matters instead is a new creation.
May peace come to all those who follow this standard, and mercy to the Israel of God!
From now on, let no one cause me trouble, because I bear on my body scars for the cause of Jesus.
Brothers, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit.
Amen.”

“What is the source of wars and fights among you?
Don’t they come from the cravings that are at war within you?
You desire and do not have.
You murder and covet and cannot obtain.
You fight and war.
You do not have because you do not ask.
You ask and don’t receive because you ask with wrong motives, so that you may spend it on your evil desires.
Adulteresses!
Don’t you know that friendship with the world is hostility toward God?
So whoever wants to be the world’s friend becomes God’s enemy.
Or do you think it’s without reason the Scripture says that the Spirit who lives in us yearns jealously?
But He gives greater grace.

Therefore He says: God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble.

Therefore, submit to God.
But resist the Devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, sinners, and purify your hearts, double-minded people!
Be miserable and mourn and weep.
Your laughter must change to mourning and your joy to sorrow.
Humble yourselves before the Lord, and He will exalt you.
Don’t criticize one another, brothers.
He who criticizes a brother or judges his brother criticizes the law and judges the law.
But if you judge the law, you are not a doer of the law but a judge.
There is one lawgiver and judge who is able to save and to destroy.
But who are you to judge your neighbor?
Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will travel to such and such a city and spend a year there and do business and make a profit.”
You don’t even know what tomorrow will bring — what your life will be!
For you are like smoke that appears for a little while, then vanishes.
Instead, you should say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.”
But as it is, you boast in your arrogance.
All such boasting is evil.
So it is a sin for the person who knows to do what is good and doesn’t do it.”
James 4:1-17 HCSB
