Is It Real?
The question I have today is, do you truly relate to and identify with the things and people that you read about in the Bible? Jesus told us to love our enemies, and to pray for those who deal unjustly with us. Are you d…

Weakness or Power?
Just a few words today about darkness and light, and weakness and power. This world calls having an abundance of money ‘power.’ While there is such a thing as using monetary wealth to do a great deal of genuine good, tha…
Read messageThere's an old saying among most circles in the faith of Christ that is very well known
There's an old saying among most circles in the faith of Christ that is very well known. It goes like this: 'Let go and let God.' I'm sure you've heard it, but I would like to elaborate on this saying just a bit here tod…
Read messageFairness, Equality, Inclusion, and Tolerance
First of all, every term in this title, as used by modern man is an abomination to God. Why? Well, I’m getting to that, and don’t worry, it won’t take long. Was it fair when God torched Sodom and Gomorrah, along with two…
Read messageWhy Did Jesus Come?
John the Baptist was the only man sent by God to manifest Jesus to Israel, and thus he had the message that told what Jesus was coming for: “There cometh one mightier than I after me, the latchet of whose shoes I am not…
Read messageWhere Is Jesus?
This is an easy question to answer, but it’s one that you can and must ultimately answer for yourself. Of course we know that Jesus is in heaven at the right hand of the Father. I don’t think we will have any dispute on…
Read messageWho Is Right About God?
Whoever is truly free from sin and from the mind and spirits of this world, and is exuding and demonstrating God’s love to those around them. That’s who is right, and everyone else is wrong. Period. I’m not talking about…
Read messagePurge Out Sin
I have just a few words today on something I was touched by while doing a little reading tonight. I was reading part of the account about Elijah’s showdown at Mount Carmel with the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal…
Read messageThe Gospel Of the Heart
It’s all about the heart. The only place you have ever lived, and the only place you will ever live, is in your heart. That goes for both here and hereafter. That’s where it’s all at. If you’re happy it’s because that is…
Read messageBe not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them
"Be not thou envious against evil men, neither desire to be with them. For their heart studieth destruction, and their lips talk of mischief" (Prov. 24:1,2). There are some things that need to be understood by people who…
Read messageCarrying Or Being Carried?
God made a really good point in Jeremiah, regarding the idols that his people were inclined to worship: “They are upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go”(Jer. 10:5). And…
Read messageRepairing the Temple
I have just a few words about some things that the Lord was revealing to me earlier today about healing. In old testament Israel near the end of the kingdom of Judah, one of the greatest of Israel or Judah’s kings arose,…
Read messageI don't think I've done a post on this topic, but I think it's time to do so
I don't think I've done a post on this topic, but I think it's time to do so. It's been about seventeen years since the Lord revealed this to me, and I've told a lot of people I know about it; but I haven't really made i…
Read messageDoes Doctrine Divide?
It has been said many times by many people, some of whom are renowned, that doctrine divides God’s people. Wow! Where did that come from? It surely did not come from the Bible. Jesus said that any who would do God’s will…
Read messageThe Original Sin
Well this will be a short message, first because I don’t have much time, and secondly because it doesn’t take much to say what needs to be said on this topic. The first sin is the same as modern sin, and has really been…
Read messageThe Flesh and Israel
Today I want to look at the third chapter of the book of Philipians, and examine some of the powerful points of doctrine that is in this chapter: "Finally, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To write the same things to yo…
Read messageSow Graciously
“Why boastest thou thyself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endureth continually. Thy tongue deviseth mischiefs; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully. Thou lovest evil more than good; and lying rather th…
Read messageThe Wisdom of the Shut Mouth
It’s just an overtly obvious fact: Most people talk too much. And not only so, but there’s a lot of hurt to be found in too much talking. James chapter 3 goes into detail about this unfortunate state of man. He says, “it…
Read messageSalvation and Grace
I would like to say a few things tonight about 'the thief on the cross,' and how he exemplifies the grace of God that is in Christ, and at the same time how he exemplifies every true believer and follower of Jesus Christ…
Read messageOpen Up and Be Helped
I’m going right back where I was a couple of days ago on here. I write about what I see in front of me, and what I see is that some folks are just not open to be helped. And it’s funny how the same people won’t give any…
Read messageBible Believers?
There are a whole lot of folks these days who claim to be ‘Bible Believers.’ It’s amazing how many of these don’t even really know what is in the Bible. Well, they know enough scriptures to support the particular brand o…
Read messageA word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver (Prov
"A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver" (Prov. 25:11). In order for someone to even have "a word [to be] fitly spoken," it has to be put in them by the Lord, which means there has to be open sp…
Read messageThe Golden Rule
Man has destroyed himself, his fellow man, and the world he lives in; by seeking only his own worldly gain of one kind or another, and being uncaring and unfeeling for his neighbor. Jesus gave us the only prescription fo…
Read messageWhen Is Salvation?
Christianity universally teaches that salvation is at the beginning of a believer’s faith, received upon initially believing on Jesus. Does that make it so? Why don’t we just let the scriptures themselves be the measurin…
Read messageReach Out
I just can’t help but get back to the topic of heartfelt communication between God’s people. The degree of lacking in this arena is truly something that grieves the Spirit of God, which the scripture tells us not to do (…
Read messageBe Not Exalted
“Put not forth thyself in the presence of the king, and stand not in the place of great men: For better it is that it be said unto thee, Come up hither; than that thou shouldest be put lower in the presence of the prince…
Read messageWho Is Your Brother?
“Hear the word of the LORD, ye that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name’s sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified: but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed” (I…
Read messageThe thing that's on my mind today is Judas and Pilate
The thing that's on my mind today is Judas and Pilate. We know that they were both involved in the death of Jesus, in differing capacities; but they both also had a common characteristic that led to their downfalls. That…
