"My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye sin not. And if any man sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous... He that saith, I know him, and keepeth not his commandments, is…
Today I have a few very important notes on the most misused scripture in the Bible today. But first I want to take a detailed look at a passage that says the exact same thing as the verse I'm talking about: "Moreover, br…
God 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…
I want to say a couple of things today about our calling and objective in this life as children of God. Think about it just a little: What is it that you would like to attain to and excel in more than anything while you'…
"Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble? The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined. For the wicked boasteth of his…
Pride. 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.…
It’s true, I write about this kind of thing 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…
People 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…
"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…
It's probably the most famous scripture in the Bible, and for good reason. It pretty much tells the Gospel story in one verse. You see it in stadiums at football games on TV, and just about anywhere that there's a lot of…
"By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous" (I Jn. 5:2,3). So here we…
There's a whole lot of folks today who aspire to be 'prophets of judgment.' Their really are. Some people feel that if they know how to speak in tongues, and at least think they can see something wrong with somebody, the…
"A good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil: for of the abundance of the heart his mouth sp…
What are you looking for, really? Some people are looking for a religious security blanket, and will accept something short of real truth that purifies from sin (Isa. 28:20; Isa. 30:1; Eph. 5:25,26; II Tim. 4:3; I Pet. 1…
"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…
My post today is a copy of a response I sent to someone regarding the air strike of the United States against the murdering, insane Islamic militant extremists in Syria, who have been conducting an enormous and senseless…
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 of finding it difficult to believe 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 i…
"Forsake the foolish, and live; and go in the way of understanding" (Prov. 9:6). "Folly is joy to him that is destitute of wisdom: but a man of understanding walketh uprightly" (Prov. 15:21). "Woe unto them that call evi…
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…
There simply cannot be enough said about the value of honesty. I mean true, deep honesty that most people do not even know exists. I’m talking first and foremost about someone being totally honest with themselves about t…
How is it that the word of God is established? First of all one must understand that the scriptures and the word of God are two separate things. They aren't two different things, but they are two separate things. The wor…
The question I have for you today is, Can someone have their name written in the “book of life” and still lose out with God; meaning not be saved in the end? The answer is very short, but first let’s consider how a perso…
"According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. For to me…
"And because iniquity shall abound, the love of many shall wax cold. But he that shall endure unto the end, the same SHALL BE saved" (Mat. 24:12,13). "But we believe that through the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ we SHA…
