PROVERBS 16:33

The lot is cast into the lap; but the whole

 disposing thereof is of the LORD.

 

WELCOME TO RESCUE BAPTIST CHURCH

“Sinners are welcome at this church. We are a local body of the Lord Jesus Christ. As you spend time with us, you’ll soon discover we’re an imperfect church, with an imperfect pastor, yet by God’s undeserved grace, we preach, believe, and know the perfect gospel of our never-failing Lord Jesus Christ. We call His name Jesus for He shall, (not might, not maybe) but shall save His people from their sins, and every sinner that trusts in Christ is complete in Him, saved to the uttermost” HEBREWS 7:25                                           (copied)

HEATHENISH LUCK

“My times are in thy hand” (Psa. 31:15

Not only are we ourselves in the hand of the Lord, but all that surrounds us. Our times make up a kind of atmosphere of existence; and all this is under divine arrangement. We dwell within the palm of God’s hand. We are absolutely at His disposal, and all our circumstances are arranged by Him in all their details. We are comforted to have it so.

    How came the Psalmist’s times to be thus in God’s hand? I should answer, that they were there in the order of nature, according to the eternal purpose and decree of God. All things are ordained of God, and are settled by Him, according to His wise and holy predestination. Whatsoever happeneth here happeneth but by chance, but according to the counsel of the Most High. The acts and deeds of men below, though left wholly to their own wills, are the counterpart of that which is written in the purpose of heaven. The open acts of Providence below tally exactly with that which is written in the secret book, which no eye of man or angel as yet has scanned. This eternal purpose superintended our birth. “In thy book all my members were written which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them” (Psa. 139:16) In thy book, every footstep of every creature is recorded before the creature is made. God has mapped out the pathway of every man who traverses the plains of life. Some may doubt this; but all agree that God foresees all things; and how can they be certainly foreseen unless they are certain to be?  It is no means comfort to a man of God that he feels that, by divine arrangement and sacred predestination, his times are in the hand of God…

    It would be a hideous thought to us if any one point of our life-story were let to chance, or to the frivolities of our own fancy…. Our Puritanic fathers walked with God the more readily because they believed in God as arranging everything in their daily business and domestic life; and the saw Him in the history of the nation, and in all the events which transpired. The tendency of this age is to get further and further from God….

    “My times are in thy hand.” Then there is nothing left to chance. Events happen not to men by a fortune which has no order of purpose in it. Chance is a heathenish idea which the teaching of the Word has cast down, even as the ark threw down Dragon, and brake him in pieces. Blessed is that man who has done with chance, who never speaks of luck; but believes that, from the least even to the greatest, all things are ordained of the Lord. We dare not leave out the least event. The creeping of an aphis upon a rosebud, is as surely arranged by the decree of Providence, as the march of a pestilence through a nation. Believe ye this; for if the least be omitted from the supreme government, so may the next be, and the next till nothing is left in the divine hand. There is no place for chance, since God filleth all things.

“Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth” (Rev. 19:6)  C. H. SPUREGEON


SUNDAY JULY 18, 2021

Psalms 119:4-7

Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently. O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes! Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments. I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!" (Psalm 139:17).

  “Have you thought what a comfort it is to have a God we can trust, a God who condescends to think on us, to consider our needs, and then supply them?  What if all we had to believe in was ‘the laws of nature’, ‘mother nature’, ‘the big Guy’, ‘a Supreme Being’, or, ‘the man upstairs’?  What if all we had to look forward to was some set of ‘laws’ and ‘powers’ acting apart from God?  There are many who try to get away from the thought of a personal God; One who redeems, preserves, and provides for His people.  The Bible declares a personal God who takes a special interest in His people, and thinks on them with a tender, gracious consideration.  This is what David said, ‘How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!’ What a blessing it is to be able to pray, ‘Our Father, who art in Heaven.’ The greatest blessing is to know God thinks on us.”

                                                                    Pastor Milton Howard



 WHO GETS THE GLORY?

   “If you wish to know if the gospel you are hearing preached is the gospel of God, ask yourself this question, ‘Who gets the glory?’  If you wish to know whether your religious experience is of the flesh or of the Lord, ask yourself the same thing, ‘Who gets the glory?’  Also, examine all your gifts, works, and missionary efforts by the same rule, ‘Who gets the glory?’  God will not share His glory!  That which is of God, from God, and for God’s glory will be blessed with His presence and power ‘that no flesh should glory in His presence. ... that, according as it is written, he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.’ (1 Corinthians 1:29, 31).”

                                                                        Pastor Henry Mahan
