"Even a child is known by his doings, whether his work be pure, and whether it be right" (Prov. 20:11). "Having therefore these promises, dearly beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all filthiness of the flesh and spir…
God alone knows the hearts. We've all heard it, and we've all said it I'm sure. But do we REALLY believe it? First let's have several key scriptural references laid out that irrefutably show that God, and God alone, know…
Some folks have this issue about believing in a God that they cannot see. My question is this: Where is it that you don't see him, and what is it that you can't see him in? I mean really, is it maybe in the food you eat,…

I feel the need to address a common ill among God's people today, that needs desperately to be remedied. There is a facade of confidence that most professing "Christians" wear, in regard to what they believe to be the tr…
It seems appropriate on this father's day to write something about the truth and reality of when God became a father. So then, just when DID God become a father? Let's look at what the Bible tells us on the matter. In Co…
"They have healed also the hurt of the daughter of my people slightly, saying , Peace, peace; when there is no peace" (Jer. 6:14). "They" in this passage were the false prophets among God's people who collectively defied…

"Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves" (Psm. 100:3). "For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk i…

I would like to take a look at what the Bible says about the word of God, and how one attains unto it. "... So that thou incline thine EAR unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding; Yea, if thou criest after kn…
The question I have for you today is this: Who has power over who in regard to you and your fleshly, or carnal nature? That is really what it is all going to come down to anyway. The apostle Paul clearly listed a number…
"Now the end of the commandment is [love] out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned: From which some having swerved have turned aside unto vain jangling; Desiring to be teachers of the law; un…
