The Doctrine of the Blood God’s directions in both Old and New Testaments show His emphasis and direction that the blood is life and not to be treated lightly. The shed blood of Jesus Christ is the most precious blood of all for those who are willing to accept it in faith and its sin cleansing power. 2. But Watch Thou In All Things An instructive message to preachers but it also contains much for all believers as all of us are called to spread the Gospel. 3. Exercise Thyself Rather Unto Godliness We can build up our bodies for various reasons, and they may not all be wrong, but to neglect our spiritual body, our life in Christ, will have spiritually fatal and everlasting consequences. 4. Giving All Diligence All human achievements require diligence and an even greater diligence is required for us to achieve that crown awaiting the true believer when he finishes his course here on earth and enters his eternal home. No diligence - No crown of life. 1 Corinthians 9:25 13 May 1. Stronger Weaker Vessels A Mothers Day message of encouragement and biblical direction. 2. God Revealed By His Names God’s names reveal to us who He is, what He has done, what He can do and what He will yet do for His children. 3. Traditions If our “religious” traditions are in conflict with God’s Word or Bible teachings they will be harmful to our spiritual life in Christ. 4. Whose Is the Child? Children are an heritage of the Lord - Not the State or an Institution! We as parents are held responsible by God for their upbringing in the nurture and admonition of the Lord 6 May 1. And of Some Have Compassion Our human nature has a tendency to give up too quickly on people instead may our hearts be touched with Christ-like compassion 2. Appreciating the Anabaptist Vision Fire and sword could not destroy them but the subtlety of satan is at work today. A brief historical overview of the Anabaptist understanding of the new testament church 3. Baptism - God’s Covenant and Man’s Covenant The covenant made at baptism is with God for life and will work only if we work at living according to that covenant. God will always be faithful but will we? 4. Understanding Substitution Did Jesus take our place on the cross? Was Jesus’ death substitutionary or sacrificial or both? BookNook Principles of Nonresistance Held By the Mennonite Church By John Horsch - Republished by Eastern Mennonite Publications. A study of the historic position of the Mennonite Church on this biblical doctrine. First published in 1927 and reprinted a number of times. We are currently seeing in Anabaptist Mennonite circles an ever increasing confusion regarding this doctrine of nonresistnace on one hand and political; pacifism on the other hand This booklet reminds us that nonresistance is not merely a position we take regarding war but a principle expressed in daily life. It applies just as much today as it did when our Lord Jesus Christ walked among men! The Child's Book of the Sabbath by Horace Hooker - Published 1835 Note by the Author: “It has been the design of the author in the following pages to employ such language and modes of illustration as shall render the subject not only intelligible but interesting to the young. At the same time he has kept in view the persons of more advanced age, and he indulges the hope that what he has written may not be unprofitable to readers of this class.” Silent Times - A Help to Reading the Bible Into Life By J.R.Miller - Published 1886 From the Preface: "The point at which many Christians fail in the using of divine truths is the point at which doctrine should be transmuted into life. They know and honour the Bible as the Word of God, and sincerely wish to conform their lives to its inspired teachings, but have difficulty in applying them to the actual experiences of daily life. This book is offered as a humble help in this direction." * The Historical and Biblical Position of the Mennonite Church on Attire. J. C.
