Children of Promise

Greg Hill2020-11-16T03:31:59+00:00

"Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are the children of promise." Galatians 4:28. In his letter to the Galatians, Paul had to remind the Galatians that we are under grace, not the Law. Christ fulfilled the Law on our behalf, but there were people who were trying to get the Galatians to, in essence, bind themselves to the Law. Paul then talks about Sarah and Hagar. He said that, figuratively, Hagar represented Mt. Sinai, and that her children are slaves, but that Sarah represented Jerusalem, and her children are free. Mt. Sinai is where the Ten Commandments were given, and Paul [...]

Rest 11/2020

Greg Hill2020-11-15T02:50:59+00:00

We need to get our rest physically. Our bodies need rest after working, our bodies need rest in order to heal, and children need rest for growing. We also need rest spiritually. We need to make sure that we are spending time in God's Word learning and being refreshed by it. These are the last days, and Satan will throw all he can at Christians. In order for us to stay strong and stand firm for Christ, we need to be refreshed by God's Word, and we need to rest in Him. So, what do I mean by rest in Him? [...]

Alarm Clocks

Greg Hill2020-11-14T02:20:42+00:00

We have to use alarm clocks to get up on time. We have to use timers in the kitchen to avoid having the smoke alarms tell us that dinner is ready. People need wall clocks, clocks on microwaves, clocks on their phones, and wrist watches to keep up with the time and make sure that we are always on time. We even have clocks in our cars that seem to make us think we will be late if the light doesn't hurry up and change so we can go. Our lives seem to revolve around time, making time for this and [...]

Re-read

Greg Hill2020-11-13T03:24:10+00:00

One of the books I am reading for school right now is "Unlocking the Scriptures" by Hans Finzel, in the book he talked about that we will reread the things that affect us most. For example, we will reread the news or love letters. We will reread new laws and bills that may be passed. I'm going to go down a little bit different path than Finzel did, but, I would like to ask you a question. How often do you reread the Bible? For instance, when you read a chapter, do you ever go back to reread that chapter or [...]

Laughter

Greg Hill2020-11-12T04:27:24+00:00

One thing that God uses to encourage His children is laughter. Humor doesn't have to be dirty to be funny. There doesn't have to be cursing or anything of sexual nature for there to be humor. Carl Hurley is a Christian Comedian, and he talked about looking for the humor in church bulletins. Believe it or not, there can be humor because of the way things are written in a church bulletin. I remember he read something from a church bulletin that said, "Let us pray for those who are sick of our church and community" which should have been written [...]

Take a Breath

Greg Hill2020-11-10T04:11:18+00:00

"Wait for the LORD; be strong and take heart and wait for the LORD." Psalm 27:14. In the today's American society we often times want everything on our timing. When we are expecting an email, we want it to come through instantly. We want our phone to ring when we expect it to, not after. There is a local fast food chain whose slogan is, "Great Food in a Flash". We want everything to go our way, and we often try to rush things. I am guilty of this myself. Sometimes I go past the planning stage/preparing stage and go into [...]

Freedom in Christ Gal 5:13

Greg Hill2020-11-09T03:26:12+00:00

"You, my brothers and sisters, were called to be free. But do not use your freedom to indulge the flesh; rather serve one another humbly in love." Galatians 5:13. When Christ saves us, we receive forgiveness of our sins. We are freed from the bondage of sin. With this freedom, we are to serve Christ and love our neighbor. We are not to use our freedom to run back and do the things we used to do before Christ saved us. The old sinful person is dead and gone, we do not need to try to dig him up and resuscitate [...]

Christmas celebrations

Greg Hill2020-11-08T03:26:05+00:00

Dad and I were coming back from hunting this evening, and there was a house about five minutes from ours that already had a Christmas tree up. Some may say that it is too early to celebrate Christmas, but for the Christian, Christmas is more than a once a year celebration. We can wake up everyday and praise God that Christ came. God gave us the greatest gift that mankind could receive when He gave His Son for us. This wasn't just a one time gift either, this gift keeps giving. In Christ we have forgiveness, eternal life, and we are [...]

Boasting the right way

Greg Hill2020-11-07T03:10:12+00:00

"May I never boast except in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, through which the world has been crucified to me, and I to the world." Galatians 6:14. I could boast about archery, I compete anywhere from locally to nationally, I've got a state championship and several very wonderful sponsors, but will that get me to heaven? I could boast in my academics, I will graduate high school with two years of college experience, but will that save my soul? I could boast that I am a decent human being, I don't murder, I don't gamble, I don't blackmail people, [...]

His Rod and Staff

Greg Hill2020-11-06T02:40:47+00:00

"Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me." Psalm 23:4. For school I have to read a book that deals with Psalm 119 and in chapter one the author talks about praising God for His laws, for His statutes. Here in Psalm 23 we see David praising God for His Rod and Staff. The Rod and Staff are used for protecting sheep, for guiding them, and for discipline. It seems strange at first to praise God for disciplining us, because that is something [...]
