No hope after death

October 31, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Proverbs 11:7 When a wicked man dieth, his expectation shall perish: And the hope of unjust men perisheth. For those missionaries working in a Catholic country I have found this verse to be of great help. When the wicked or lost –because all lost are wicked. Only salvation can make a good man out of us […]

Saying what is acceptable

October 30, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Proverbs 10:31 The mouth of the just bringeth forth wisdom: But the froward tongue shall be cut out. We need to know what is acceptable to say when we serve God as pastors, missionaries or soul winners. We must have wisdom to give. We can only get wisdom from the word of God and it […]

Tell the truth

October 29, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Proverbs 10:18 He that hideth hatred with lying lips, And he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. Don’t be a fool! Open rebuke is better than secret love. Let your mouth say what is in your heart. You are a fool if you lie and slander due to the hatred that is in your […]

men will fail you

October 28, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Proverbs 10:12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: But love covereth all sins. As a missionary you will be called on to train men. They will fail you and you will be hurt. How you deal with their failures and those of your co laborers will determine much of your success and show your character. It will […]

How are you using your mouth?

October 27, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Proverbs 10:11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: But violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. What is your mouth? Is it a well of life? There is great power in the tongue. How are you using yours? Ephesians 4:29. Your mouth can’t speak what your heart has not experienced […]

Let’s do something

October 26, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Proverbs 4:16 For they sleep not, except they have done mischief; And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall. How I wish that we could challenge God’s people to not sleep until we have done some good until we have made some to stand. We must quit only avoiding the bad […]

Not until

October 25, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 132:5 Until I find out a place for the LORD, An habitation for the mighty God of Jacob. David said that he would not go to his house, nor to his bed, nor sleep until he had found a place for the Lord. Psalm 132:2-4. Can you imagine someone so consumed with the Lord […]

Power for His name

October 24, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 111:6 He hath shewed his people the power of his works, That he may give them the heritage of the heathen. Maybe the reason we do not have His power to the extent we wish is that we do not the right motives. What he desires is that we take the heathen for our […]

Whose pleasure?

October 23, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 103:21 Bless ye the LORD, all ye his hosts; Ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure. Whose pleasure do you do with your life? Some say to each his own but God wants you to do his pleasure. You were created for his pleasure Colossians 1:16. What pleases you? What pleases him? Does […]

Don’t turn aside

October 22, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 101:3 I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me. What a holy hatred! He hated those the work of those that turn aside. This is the hatred that is needed today. Over the years we see so many […]

Getting concerned for the world!

October 21, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 98:2 The LORD hath made known his salvation: His righteousness hath he openly shewed in the sight of the heathen. He hath made known His salvation–He openly shewed his righteousness in the sight of the heathen. It would appear that God wants to make know His salvation. He is concerned about the salvation of […]

So many have had no chance

October 20, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 81:11 But my people would not hearken to my voice; And Israel would none of me. God’s people will have none of Him and yet there are people all over the world that have never had the opportunity to accept or reject our God. We have never even carried the gospel to them. What […]

How do you spend your days

October 19, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 78:33 Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in trouble. How are your days being consumed? As I get older I know that I do not want to waste the life that God has given me. I do not want to have to be disciplined of God for him to […]

That I may declare His works

October 18, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, That I may declare all thy works. As the psalmist gets close to God he declares all God’s work. I wonder why we do not declare his works. Could it be that we […]

Parent Corner

October 18, 2014 By John Pearson Leave a Comment

The Roman’s “positive” is the way to live.  – October 12, 2014 Romans chapters 1, 2 and the first part of 3 teach that the wicked man, the moral man and the man that ignores the truth of the Bible will all face the same tragic fate.  These chapters make a clear point that all […]

Get the Word to the World

October 17, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 68:11 The Lord gave the word: Great was the company of those that published it. Just how great is the company of those that publish His word. We must work to increase the size of the company that are concerned about getting the gospel to the world.

What a promise

October 16, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 66:4 All the earth shall worship thee, And shall sing unto thee; they shall sing to thy name. Selah. What a promise the psalmist makes to God through inspiration of the Holy Spirit. All the earth shall worship thee. It should be our heart’s desire to work at bringing this to pass. We should […]

He hears

October 15, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 65:2 O thou that hearest prayer, Unto thee shall all flesh come. Everybody everywhere is looking for a “god” that actually hears prayers. Our God, the one true God does indeed hear and answer prayer. I wonder if this verse is saying that more than just Jews will come to Him because He hears […]

A secret counsel

Psalm 64:2 Hide me from the secret counsel of the wicked; From the insurrection of the workers of iniquity: What would happen if the righteous were to have a secret counsel?

October 13, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 39:6 Surely every man walketh in a vain shew: Surely they are disquieted in vain: He heapeth up riches, and knoweth not who shall gather them. Like the old country preacher said: “Be a doing your giving while you’re a living so you’ll be a knowing where your stuffs a going” God gives to […]

Psalm 22:27 All the ends of the world shall remember and turn unto the LORD: And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee. All the ends of the earth shall remember and that is a great promise. My question is what is happening to get them to know the first time. His […]

Dodge Hunger Update

October 11, 2014 By trent cornwell Leave a Comment

    This morning the Students of Vision spent several hours at the North Georgia Food Bank sorting cans, making food boxes, laughing, and most importantly glorifying our God! Early this year they took up almost 600 lbs in canned food items at our annual Dodge Hunger event! Today they took the cans of food […]

What are you talking about?

October 11, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 12:2 They speak vanity every one with his neighbour: With flattering lips and with a double heart do they speak. What does our conversation consist of? Do we speak vanity with our neighbors? We have good news to tell and share yet we spend our time flattering ourselves and speaking with a double heart. […]

Old Testament Great Commission

October 10, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Psalm 9:11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in Zion: Declare among the people his doings. What people did He want them to declare His doings among? I believe that even back in the Old Testament God was dealing with His nation, His people to declare His doings to all the world. Here is […]

Psalm 8:9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! Adam Clark says the following in his commentary on this verse:

Psalm 8:1 O LORD our Lord, How excellent is thy name in all the earth! Who hast set thy glory above the heavens. Is His name Excellent in all the Earth? What have we done to make it excellent in all the Earth? His name without a doubt is excellent but I gather from this […]

Further

October 7, 2014 By Austin Gardner Leave a Comment

Ezra 8:36 And they delivered the king’s commissions unto the king’s lieutenants, and to the governors on this side the river: and they furthered the people, and the house of God. Some commissions come from the king that further the people and the house of God. The word furthered really interests me. What can I […]
