All You Need Is Love

Conception Before Birth

Pride and the Religious Mind

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…

On Scripture

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…

Two Persons, One Spirit

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…

God Is Good, Always

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…

A Warning Against Abortion and Sexual Sin

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…

Holiness and Godly Fear

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…

Temptation and Faith

"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…

Jesus Is My ‘Church’

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…

No Body For God?

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…

The Son of the Father

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…

Fear Not to Fear God

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…

God’s Witness, or Yours?

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…

The Pure Altar

“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…

Only One Faith

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…
