Read message"For the law having a shadow of good things to come, and not the very image of the things, can never with those sacrifices which they offered year by year continually make the comers thereunto perfect. For then would the…
Read messageI was just thinking a little while ago about Jesus and it struck me for about the millionth time: He was and is the only Son of the most high God, and he actually left heaven and his glory behind to become a human being…
Read messageJust a thought I had while sitting in a McDonald’s last night. There were some policemen in the place, and as they left we had a nice exchange of well wishing with them. I thought about how good it is to like the idea of…
Read message"While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Ghost fell on all them which heard the word. And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was pou…
Read messageI did a post on the 'resurrection of the just' a couple of days ago, and I covered everything about the scripture passage that I used as a text except for one thing. The reason I didn't cover that one point is because I…
Read messageIt’s funny, you hear the word all the time, used in so many venues, but actually it is never really true. “Original.” There simply is nothing that is truly original, not until it goes all the way back to God. The scriptu…
Read message"Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a mom…

Read message"Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have b…
Read messageOn this day of recognition of the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, I think it's fitting to note a few integral things about what his death and resurrection means to those who believe on him in reality and…
Read messageAnything that you are in need of from God, you can get. You don't have to be in any set circumstances that you might feel that you need to be in, in order to obtain what you need from him. All you need is to have faith i…
Read message"If any of you lack wisdom [or anything else], let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like…
Read message"I will utterly consume all things from off the land, saith the LORD… And them that worship the host of heaven upon the housetops; and them that worship and that swear by the LORD, and that swear by Malcham" (Zeph. 1:2,5…
Read messageWith so much Jewish elitism running rampant in so many ways on every front, I think that it’s a good idea to know how God defines being a Jew. “For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, w…
Read messageI just read a foolish comment that someone made on one of my posts, and the following passage of scripture came to mind: “Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD, or being his counsellor hath taught him? With whom took…
Read messageNobody wants absoluteness. Now I have to tell you, that is a really BIG problem to have. God is utterly absolute, and his word is as absolute as absolute gets! More so in fact. I'm not talking about what men think the sc…
Read messageToday I only have time for a short post, and actually it is a reading assignment for anyone who wants to truly understand the order of things regarding the Lord’s second coming, the first resurrection, the millennial rei…

Read message"Open rebuke is better than secret love" (Prov. 27:5). I suppose if one verse in the Bible could say the most about what this current generation of 'Christians' need to learn, it is this one. If you expect to go anywhere…
Read messageJust a short note on a very powerful truth today. While in the belly of the great fish, the prophet Jonah spoke something that was and is universally true, and unfortunately is continually fulfilled: “They that observe l…
Read messageGod hates the works of the devil. Period. The scripture plainly tells us, "For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil" (I Jn. 3:8). God abhors everything that is done for…
Read messageToday I want to look at what is probably the most powerful and overt statement of doctrine in the new testament scriptures, and just leave one and all with some really serious food for thought as to why the body of Chris…
Read message"I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity. I said of laughter, It is mad: and of mirth, What doeth it? I sought in mine heart to give mysel…
