Hold Fast*


*DAILY DEW 5TH/JULY/2021*

*Hold Fast* 

_Key Bible Text:_
*But Christ as a son over his own house; whose house are we, if we hold fast the confidence and the rejoicing of the hope firm unto the end.*
(Hebrews 3:6 (KJV)) 

_Bible Insight:_

To "Hold fast" means to "remain tightly secured" as in the sentence, "the door held fast, obviously locked". To "hold fast" also means, "continue to believe in or adhere to an idea or principle." This example fits, "it is important that we hold fast to the word of God". 

In our key text for today, we find the statement, Christ is or was a son over His own house (not another's-- unlike Moses who was to watch over the house or ministry of God). Then the statement extends to this striking revelation: we are the house  over which Christ oversees. 

The statement moves further, "if we hold fast the confidence" There is an "if" to salvation, my friend. If we don't hold fast, we would cease to be houses over which Christ superintendents. Christ will remain a house master but we won't be that house unless we keep holding fast. 

It is key for us, therefore, to remain steadfast in our convictions about the word. If we allow the world, it would water down our convictions with liberalism, feminism, and relativism. If we don't hold fast, we will slip fast. If we slip fast, we will lose out. But thank God, we are not of them that look back. Amen. 

MEDITATION:
*Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness:* (Hebrews 3:7-8 (KJV))

WELCOME TO MISSIONS (VI)

*DAILY DEW 18TH/DECEMBER/2021* *WELCOME TO MISSIONS* (VI) _Key Bible Text:_ *And of making all people see how God's secret plan is to be put into effect. God, who is the Creator of all things, kept his secret hidden through all the past ages, in order that at the present time, by means of the church, the angelic rulers and powers in the heavenly world might learn of his wisdom in all its different forms.* (Ephesians 3:9-10(GNB))  _Bible Insight:_ But now for the sequel. They became so interested, so aroused, so awakened, that they came in ever-increasing numbers. Souls were saved and in a very short time every seat was taken. Before long thy had caught the vision and they began to give, to give as they had never given before, and in a few weeks, without having to say hardly anything about the local obligations, every debt was paid, every bill met, and from that day to this we have not known the meaning of the word “debt” in connection with our work. We discovered that w

PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM

*DAILY DEW 5TH/MAY/2021* *PATRIOTISM & NATIONALISM* _Key Bible Text:_ *"Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge." (Romans 10:1-2 (KJV))   _Bible Insight:_ Some have tried to distinguish between what is desirable and what is wrong by using two separate words, patriotism and nationalism. The value of the former has been shown by Lecky when he wrote in his _History of European Morals_ :  Patriotism leads men to subordinate their wishes to interests of the society in which they live. It extends the horizon of life, teaching men to dwell among the great men of the past, to derive their moral strength from the study of their heroic lives, to look forward continually, through the vistas of a distant future, to the welfare of an organization which will continue when they have passed away.  Nationalism, on the other hand, can be used to

Age Long Wisdom (III)

Image
*DAILY DEW 13TH/NOVEMBER/2020* *Age Long Wisdom (III)* _Key Bible Text:_ *"And Jesus went on to say, And so I tell you: make friends for yourselves with worldly wealth, so that when it gives out, you will be welcomed in the eternal home."* (Luke 16:9) _Bible Insight:_ In soul winning, we need money! Cool money! The world needs the power of God but it takes engaging money to bring the Gospel close enough, so that the world can hear and see the power of God.  We need money and materials things to push the Gospel. In our key text, we see the need to use worldly wealth to make friends who will be brought closer to the opportunity to hear the Gospel and be saved. Use worldly wealth. You don't need to wait until you have enough of it. You will never have enough. However, you can decide to use the worldly wealth you have for soul winning. In the story of the good Samaritan, we see a Samaritan using his time, energy and resources to revive the man who was robbed and w
