Children's Bread and Confession of Faith

CHILDREN'S BREAD

But Jesus said unto her, Let the children first be filled: for it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it unto the dogs. And she answered and said unto him, Yes, Lord: yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs.

Mark 7:27-28

Give us this day OUR DAILY BREAD.

Embrace the Faithfulness of God's Promises and Abide in the Joy Supplied by Love (Part 1)

By Moses Hightower

Cursed is the man that hangeth on a tree. I became a curse that you might be blessed. The shackles of bondage were all about you, for you were chained unto sin and could not escape by any physical or mental power. You were doomed to die for your sins and destined to burn forever in hell's fire. My love for you caused me to take your place on the gallows of judgment. Unless you have considered the march to your own judgment where you would have been judged as a damned person, then you will not appreciate my act of love for you on the cruel tree of judgment. Have you ever thought how it would be to walk slowly to the chambers of death and judgment?

A man destined to hang for his crimes has no peace outside of me. He may quote many scriptures, but unless the spirit of the word abides in him, then there is no peace. There is no peace unto the wicked. Peace eludes even those who give their lives in the name of peace. I am Shiloh, the Peace-bringer. I bought your peace as I took your place at the judgment hall of righteousness. Your peace has been paid for by holy and precious blood. The price for your freedom was a precious price. You must acknowledge the preciousness of the sacrifice for you, lest you lose gratitude in the parlors of self-righteousness.

Talk is cheap, and confessions of peacekeepers are numerous. Though words flow from the mouths of men concerning peace, there is no peace without my blood to supply the currency to tear down the wall of sin and iniquity. My blood, which is the currency, has satisfied the demands of justice. No longer do you need to stare at the hangman's noose, the chair of electrical death, the rifleman's barrel, or the walls of the gas chamber's invisible silent death venom. I have given you blessings and a place with me on the right hand of the majesty on high. You were conceived in sin and shapened in iniquity. You had no choice as to who you are by natural birth, but you do have a choice as to who you will become by spiritual birth. You were not responsible for being born a sinner, but the full responsibility rest upon you as to whether you will remain one. You can be born a saint today, or you may keep the shackles of sin that were yours when you came into this world. Why march to your judgment without the payment price for sins in your life's account?

Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets. The lion hath roared, who will not fear? The Lord GOD hath spoken, who can but prophesy?

Amos 3: 7 - 8

SCRIPTURAL VERIFICATION

The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

(Romans 10:8-10)

Words of Light upon the Face of Confusion, Death, Ignorance, Judgment, and Unbelief (Part 1)

Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)

Hebrews 10:22 - 23

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.
