    Blessed Are The Ermine Series

    Contributed by David Swanger on Feb 13, 2013
     | 8,334 views

    While we tend to focus on the purity of such things as food, water, and air, we would be wise to focus more intently on the purity of heart that Jesus speaks of here. A purity if not possessed will prevent us from seeing God both now and eternally.

    Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God. The ermine is a short-tailed weasel that has the unique feature of having its fur change to a snow-white color in the win¬ter. God created this animal with this feature to protect it from others. The ermine instinctively protects his white coat ...read more

    Grace refers to God lavishing us with free gifts, His undeserved and unearned favor. His gifts include salvation, forgiveness of sins, endurance, strengthening and encouragement, the virtues he develops in us, and a host of other gracious gifts.

    By Grace Alone (Romans 11:6, 4:16, Ephesians 2:8-9) 1. There is a joke on the net that makes a good point about salvation by grace. A man dies and goes to heaven. The admittance angel meets him at the pearly gates. The angel says, "Here's how it works. You need 100 points to make it into heaven. ...read more

    The virtues of goodness and kindness do not come to us naturally and just like the other virtues of Jesus we need to be taught them. Imagine if you will two small children wanting the same toy at the same time. You get the point. We have to be taught.

    Sanctification is a process through God’s grace by which the believer is separated from sin and becomes dedicated to God’s righteousness.

    (17) Sanctification of the Saints The concept of sanctification is not well understood, even in Christian circles, and I don’t hear it preached on today. However, it is in both the Old and New Testaments; Paul especially had a lot to say on the subject. I have always believed that the best way ...read more
