2021-09-05 09:52:58 Cultivating Spiritual Disciplines
A. W. Tozer

Perhaps they have committed sins of the mind. . . . To think God's thoughts requires much prayer. If you do not pray much, you are not thinking God's thoughts. If you do not read your Bible much and often and reverently, you are not thinking God's thoughts. Those thoughts you are having--and your head buzzes with them all day long and into the night--are earthly thoughts--thoughts of a fallen race. They are the thoughts of a lost society. They should not be our thoughts. Paul said, "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus " (Philippians 2:5 KJV). There also has to be a lot of meditation. We ought to learn to live in our Bible. Get one with print big enough to read so it does not punish your eyes. Look around until you find a good one, and then learn to love it. Begin with the Gospel of John, then read the Psalms. Isaiah is another great book to help you and lift you. When you feel you want to do it, go on to Romans and Hebrews and some of the deeper theological books. But get into the Bible. Do not just read the little passages you like, but in the course a a year or two see that you read it through. Your thoughts will one day come up before God's judgment. We are responsible for our premeditative thoughts. They make our mind a temple where God can dwell with pleasure, or they make our mind a stable where Christ is angry, ties a rope and drives out the cattle. It is up to us. What should you then do? Examine yourself. Have you found yourself in that awful circular grave, not making any spiritual progress? Have you found that the passing of time upon which you have leaned so heavily has become a broken reed and is not helping you at all? Open / Comment

2021-09-04 05:03:45 UNDERSTANDING THE MYSTERY OF GOD REVEALED TO THE CHURCH (PART 2)


Let's re-state an important fact here: The catching away of the believers is not mentioned even once in the entire chapter of 1Corinthians 15! That is not the focus here.

These are NOT 'rapture' verses! The subject here is the resurrection and transformation of the believer. That is our hope: That Christ in us will on that Resurrection Day bring about a transformation in us that now we shall be as He is! That is the end result of God's plan; that is the fulfillment of the mystery! We will have the same immortal body He does!

The phrase 'in a twinkling of an eye' has been hijacked from its context by the pre-trib crowd, and used to promote their ‘POOF! ...now the Church is gone' idea. But that phrase has been deceptively applied to their theory. The Bible says it is the transformation of the believer that takes place in the twinkling of an eye, not the catching away. I believe our ascension will mirror that of the Lord Jesus. Here's why:

For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: (Romans 6:5)

Our experience is to be in the likeness of (look like) his; why should we think the catching away of the Body would look any different than the catching away of the Head? (see Acts 1:9-11 for a biblical description of ascension.)

The 'catching away' as I prefer to call it, is described clearly in 1Thess. 4:17

where it says after the dead rise the living believers: “shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air”.

This short trip is relatively minor when compared to the amazing transformation of the Resurrection and the eternal consequences that change will bring our way. Our journey from earth up to the sky is NOT the mystery of the ages; it is Christ in
you the hope of glory, and the fact we shall become as He is by the resurrection of the dead.
