Temptation and Truth

Jesus once made a very simplistic statement of truth that we are about to see fulfilled on a worldwide scale: "He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is un…

Think Miracle, Believe Miracle

Proverbs 23:7 tells us that what we think about is generally what we are: “As he thinketh in his heart, so is he.” Jesus was surely in agreement with this, and gave us just a bit more detail on it: “A good man out of the…

Sheep Without a Shepherd

If I’ve seen it once, I’ve seen it a hundred times. Well, actually a whole lot more than that unfortunately. God’s dear people are sheep without shepherds. I couldn’t count the times that I’ve seen precious souls in the…

The True Record of Jesus

Today I would like to start my post with a question. What is the record that God has left here with us, that shows that he indeed sent his Son to die for our sins, and that he did surely raise from the dead? If you just…

Resurrection and Discernment

"And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up: That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life" (Jn. 3:14,15). Let's understand here that Jesus h…

Israel and Repentance

The True Sabbath

I just want to say a few words about the sabbath today. There is a sabbath to be kept, but it is not the one that most religious folks think it is. “Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of a…

Show Me a Sign

It has long intrigued me how the Jews tried to demand of Jesus to show them some sign to confirm who he claimed to be: “Then certain of the scribes and of the Pharisees answered, saying, Master, we would see a sign from…

Don’t Oppose Yourself

Just 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…

What Is the New Birth?

Today 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…

Love Not the World

Just 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…

Productive Conflict

What 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…

The Last Days and Temptation

"And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple. And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not…

The Futility of Deceit

You 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,…

The Holy Spirit and Prayer

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and…

All Honor To Jesus

I’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…

Oh that one would hear me

The Kingdom of God

"And another also said, Lord, I will follow thee; but let me first go bid them farewell, which are at home at my house. And Jesus said unto him, No man, having put his hand to the plough, and looking back, is fit for the…

What Is Holiness?

Almost a year ago I had occasion to meet and speak with a certain 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 w…

The Letter or the Spirit?

The 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…

The Gospel of the Kingdom

What 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…

Temptation and Perseverance

Can You Hear?

Just 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…

Complete In Christ
