"And John answered him, saying, Master, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, and he followeth not us: and we forbad him, because he followeth not us. But Jesus said, Forbid him not: for there is no man which shall…
“Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God. He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, bec…
“Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. Wherefore art thou red…
One of the greatest spiritual maladies that has befallen the body of Christ today is the universally accepted teaching that someone is born again BEFORE they are baptized with the holy Ghost with its accompanying sign of…
Have you ever heard someone say something like, “Well, nobody really knows anything factually about God, what he’s really like, or how he thinks about things, etc.?” It is a very common mentality among men, and in fact I…
"This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me" (Psm. 119:50). I believe that the greatest pain is being in dire straits and just not knowing what is going on or what to do. Job, who lived through s…
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, To an inheritance incorruptible,…
I'm not sure how many people actually realize this, but the proverbial 'fence' that so many are said to be riding, has never existed. There simply is no 'middle road' in a life being lived for Jesus Christ. That conditio…
Just a few notes here today about God and his Son Jesus Christ, and about the Spirit that indwells them both. There are two places in the scriptures where Jesus said that he and his Father are ‘one’ (Jn. 10:30; Jn. 17:21…
“All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the king…
Why will so many people end up in hell after they die? The scripture plainly tells us that God “is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance” (II Pet. 3:9). We a…
Anyone who does not acknowledge that abortion is murder is either evil or very stupid, or maybe both. Is that a harsh statement? No, it is just a no-brainer as it is said. So why is abortion so prevalant in our society a…
I would like to take a look today at the scriptural reality and truth that God has never changed anything about who he is. “And he [Elisha] went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came f…
"Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it" (Psm. 37:34). "Say not thou, I will recompense evil; but wait on the Lord, and he shall sa…
When will people get it? Everywhere I go, and every time I meet someone new in the kingdom of God, it’s the same old song and dance. Everybody is just trying to get everyone they can to “come to their church.” I hear fol…
Jesus is in such a league of his own that it just defies description. Nevertheless I'm going to explain in short order what has to be the most significant factor that makes him one of a kind. First of all the scriptures…
I would like to address today the commonly held but erroneous mindset among some who profess faith in Christ, that God the Father does not have a body. Are you kidding? Everyone else in heaven, as well as everyone and ev…
I had some 'Oneness,' or 'Jesus Only' enthusiasts on this page recently, aggressively opposing a post that I had written in regard to the truth of the Father and the Son. Now understand, I love all of my brothers and my…
How revealing. Almost no one ‘liked’ my posts from the past two days. One of the pictures was of the she bears devouring the young rebels who mocked the prophet Elisha. And the other one? Oh, just some folks falling into…
"And when he hath made an end of reconciling the holy place, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and the altar, he shall bring the live goat: And Aaron shall lay both his hands upon the head of the live goat, and con…
“Be not righteous over much; neither make thyself over wise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself? Be not over much wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?” (Eccl. 7:16,17). There’s a might…
A lot of folks will agree with a lot of truth, or at least they think they do; until it comes to speaking in tongues being THE sign of the new birth experience. But the truth is, if you don’t believe that, you really don…
“And if thou wilt make me an altar of stone, thou shalt not build it of hewn stone: for if thou lift up thy tool upon it, thou hast polluted it” (Exd. 20:25). This one scripture shows us what the true worship of God is a…
"The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem. Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of vanities; all is vanity. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun? One gene…
The apostle Paul said a mouthful when he said that there is [only] “one faith” (Eph. 4:5). It was a far more simplified mouthful than what almost anyone realizes, but a mouthful nonetheless. In fact anywhere in the new t…
One evening several years ago while eating dinner at a Subway, my youngest son asked me this question: “What do you think is the single most important scripture in the Bible?” Well, I laughed and said, “That’s a pretty b…
"And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and measure the temple of God, and the altar, and them that worship therein. But the court which is without the temple leave out, and mea…
“Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me. And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but p…
Have you ever thought about the distinct correlation between abortion and homosexuality? There's one really BIG common denominator with these two enormous evils, and it's as plain as the nose on your face. Think about it…
“Who hath directed the Spirit of the Lord, or being his counsellor hath taught him? With whom took he counsel, and who instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him t…
"And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not [love], I am nothing" (I Cor. 13:2). A lot of folks to…
