It continues to grieve the holy Ghost that is in me that God's people are so "church" minded. Everywhere I go someone is trying to get me to "come to their church." Or they are trying to get some poor wayward soul "back…
Read messageJust a short post today, but to the point nonetheless: "Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lus…
Read messageToday I feel to address what may be the biggest issue facing God's people in this time. What really does constitute the new birth experience, and who really is in the body of Christ and the kingdom of God? To answer this…
Read messageThere's a lot of faulty terminology about things in the Bible and in the faith of Christ that really need to be corrected. One of them is about "the nine gifts of the Spirit." What? Yeah, I've heard about the nine gifts…
Read messageEverybody has "the truth." I'm guessing that you already know that. And every Pentecostal affiliation is "the elect." I've seen it for over thirty one years now. Nothing has changed. Everyone is conditioned to believe th…
Read messageYou can run but you can't hide. Nowhere and in nothing is this more true than with God. The froward and frivolous of today are the broken and lowly of tomorrow. You can hide behind deceit, be it playfully or maliciously,…
Read messageAlmost a year ago I had occasion to meet and speak with a denominational Christian minister. As soon as he realized I was a minister he asked me, "So what does it take to get to heaven?" I liked that because he was forth…
Read messageThe question today is, Are you of the letter, or of the spirit? You cannot be of both. It is quite an important question to be able to answer accurately and honestly, seeing that the scripture plainly states, "But now we…
Read messageWhat is the kingdom of God, or the kingdom of heaven, whichever way you may prefer to say it? This is an all important question, because the gospel of Christ, according to John the Baptist, Jesus, his twelve apostles, an…
Read messageI have just a few minutes here today for a short post, and I would like to say something about the confidence of the Lord being with you in what you are doing in regard to the ministry of his gospel. When you know that y…
Read messageJust a few words today on something that the Lord let me understand many years ago, which becomes more significant to me every day. It has to do with the first type of soil in the parable that Jesus told about the sower…
Read messageJust a couple of notes on the past two posts about the non-inclusion of natural ordinances under the new covenant. The apostle Paul stated very clearly to the Galatians, who had been duped by errant Jewish believers to o…
Read messageI'm still thinking about the things that I posted yesterday in this venue. I mentioned that it hurts God's people to observe natural ordinances, and diminishes them spiritually, as the apostle Paul also stated in Galatia…
Read message"Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware of the concision. For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh" (Philip. 3:2,3). What the…
Read messageDeceit, deceit, and more deceit. Then there's more deceit after that. On every hand the deceit of man shows it's proud, ugly face. Or at least on almost every hand. To actually hear someone speak straight, with no facade…
Read messageJust a few words here today on how people are in opposition to themselves so oftentimes. "And when Silas and Timotheus were come from Macedonia, Paul was pressed in the spirit, and testified to the Jews that Jesus was Ch…
Read messagePride. It's ugly and detestable any way you cut it. And somehow pride has become a "good" thing to people, even God's people. According to the Bible, if we have pride, we do NOT have the love of God dwelling in us (I Jn.…
Read messageGod tried in every way in old testament times to bring his people back from the paths of disobedience to keeping his law so that he could bless them the way he wanted to. Sometimes he would bring a foreign nation against…
Read messageMy friends, let me say this as clearly as possible: There is no right way to hold on to any wrong thing. That is very simple, and very, very true. The apostle Paul said something for the ages, and it should be taken into…
Read messageThe book of Proverbs, along with the book of Ecclesiastes is the greatest compilation of divine wisdom that the world has ever known, and I would like to make a point about the first proverb that is listed in the book. N…
Read messageIt's true, I write about this quite often, but I write about what is on my mind in the Spirit, and what I experience in the Spirit, and what I see in front of me from day to day. So here goes again: If you really want to…
Read messagePeople just don't get it. God does not bless sin and disobedience. Everyone wants to have things their own way, and expect God to bless them gloriously at the same time. I can assure you of one thing my friend; God desir…
Read messageAt the memorable showdown at Mt. Carmel, God's gracious servant Elijah asked an even more memorable question, which question bears more weight today than it did then: "And Elijah came unto all the people, and said , How…
Read messageIt just continues to amaze me. So many people are still persecuting Job. How? By saying the exact same thing about him that his three (or four) persecutors said. I mean it really amazes me that people say that God was tr…
Read message"And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose" (Rom. 8:28). It really is that simple. There is a faith that absolutely anchors the soul to…
Read messageWhat a shame it is that so many of God's people are so afraid of conflict. The body of Christ is obviously divided into a thousand fragments, and mortally crippled as a result. Yet everyone is afraid of engaging or being…
Read messageToday I would like to post a few scriptures to express what it is that God is looking for, and who it is that he will bless. All of these passages will be saying the same exact thing, but each one in a little different w…
