Read messageI have just a few things today regarding the spirit of prophecy, and the language that God speaks. When Mary visited Elisabeth she prophesied while Jesus was yet in her womb, and Jesus grew up to speak the exact same thi…

Read messageToday I would like to take another short but potent look at the truth that there is no such thing as ‘eternal security’ with God. Almost everyone in the body of Christ is influenced to some extent, and most are influence…
Read messageToday I have just a few things to say about the most damaging excess of all. We know by the scriptures, as well as by life experience that all excess is harmful in some way, and against the will of God for our lives. One…
Read messageThe only way that anyone can know what they are talking about in regard to the things of God, is if they are defining what they are saying according to how it is defined in God’s dictionary. What does that mean, you may…
Read messageI have just a few words today about a very relevant proverb: "The soul of the wicked desireth evil: his neighbour findeth no favour in his eyes" (Prov. 21:10). There are a whole lot of folks who establish their own right…
Read messageHere is another of our series of taking sermons from the old testament, and showing their new testament equivalent, to demonstrate that God has never changed; and that the covenant of grace is by no means some kind of al…
Read message"The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled an…

Read messageThere is a particular thing that Jesus commanded us to do, and to not do, that needs to be heeded today in more than one direction: "Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment" (Jn. 7:24). Everyo…
Read message"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their…

Read messageWith all of its zeal for miracles and spiritual gifts, there is one miracle that the body of Christ has chosen to disbelieve, and it just so happens that it is the only miracle that is necessary for salvation. That is to…
Read messageI really don't get it. Some folks just can't add one and one and get two out of it. I'm talking about the simplicity of this Gospel. Jesus put it as simply as it can be put, but I suppose it's just too easy for those who…
