The Book Of Daniel.
The Book of Daniel. Daniel 1:12, 14-15 Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink. [14] So he consented to them in this matter, and proved them ten days. [15] And at the end of ten days their countenances appeared fairer and fatter in flesh than all the children which did eat the portion of the king's meat. Daniel's purpose of heart was to refuse the world's diet, he would be satisfied with God's provision. So he spok

The Book Of Daniel.
The Book of Daniel. Daniel 1:8 But Daniel purposed in his heart that he would not defile himself with the portion of the king's meat, nor with the wine which he drank: therefore he requested of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not defile himself. As a student at King's College Babylon, Daniel would not compromise his Godly standards and principles. Daniel knew full well that if he lowered his guard for a moment, then the appetite of the world would appear tasty. So

No GB Death Camps. To God be the glory, great things He hath done in defeating the assisted dying bill. As Bible believing Christians we offer thanksgiving and praise to Almighty God for casting a barrier of restraint against this potentially murderous legislation. We continue to earnestly pray for the preservation of Christian Biblical standards, principles and values to underpin our democracy and to safeguard our Nation, against the tide of apostasy.

The Book of Daniel [2] Daniel 1:2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god. As Jehoiakim gave God up in his life and reign, so there came the time that Almighty God gave him up to the destruction of his own ways. Galatians 6:7-8 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever

The Book of Daniel
The Book of Daniel [1] Daniel 1:1 In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. The background to the Book of Daniel is best described in the life and 11 year reign of Jehoiakim. His life was one of wickedness, lewd depravity, and appalling sin. When Babylon invaded the land and plundered the Temple, Jehoiakim with others were carried captive to Babylon. It was at this time that Daniel and his

The Wells Of Salvation. (6) Genesis 29:2 And he looked, and behold a well in the field, and, lo, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks: and a great stone was upon the well's mouth. We have come to the last in this short series of messages focused on the 'wells of Salvation'. This time we are going to look at the perseverance of the redeemed of God. What this 'perseverance' means, is that the born again believer can never

The Wells Of Salvation. (5) Zechariah 13:1 In that day there shall be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for sin and for uncleanness. Remember we likened the Covenant of God's mercy to an underground stream supplying the 'wells of Salvation'. Now we are looking at the fountain head of particular redemption. The old hymn asks the questions, 'what can wash away my sin'? what can make me whole again' ? The answer comes, 'nothing but the

The Wells Of Salvation (4) 2 Samuel 23:15 And David longed, and said, Oh that one would give me drink of the water of the well of Beth-lehem, which is by the gate! As we continue to find refreshing, hope, and mercy from the 'wells of Salvation' we arrive in our study to yet another. It is the well of God's irresistible grace. When quickened by the Holy Spirit of Almighty God, the unsaved sinner is irresistibly drawn to Christ for cleansing and pardon from all sin. Our lit

The Wells Of Salvation. Isaiah 12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Water is a mighty symbol in the Word of God. It invariably speaks of the regenerating, refreshing and sanctifying power of the Holy Spirit of God. John 7:37-39 In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink.

The Wells Of Salvation. (2) Isaiah 12:3 Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Life in the natural state cannot be sustained without water, and in the spiritual, life with God is not possible without Salvation through the Lord Jesus Christ. As we mentioned in our introduction, Christ is the only key, He is the only One that can open up the 'wells of Salvation'. Some may ask, what is the need for these wells? And what exactly is their purpose
