"Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that their corn and their wine increased. I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, Lord, only makest me dwell in safety" Psm. 4:7,8). When it's all…
After the prophet Amos prophesied against Israel and it’s king, the high priest Amaziah sent word to the king of these things: “Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspir…
I can still hear my original pastor preaching this glorious Gospel of truth saying, “There is no God in this world other than the holy Ghost!” How right he was! Jesus said that after he would leave this world, that the h…
"Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help. His breath goeth forth, he returneth to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish. Happy is he that hath the God of Jacob for his hel…
There is nothing like the satisfaction and joy of seeing a wounded soul being rehabbed by the love, and wisdom, and power of God. Isaiah spoke of the reward and benefit for those who make it their business to care for th…
It amazes me what I have learned in recent years, regarding how so many professing believers in Jesus, mostly people who have been baptized with the holy Ghost; give heed to things like horoscopes, Zodiac signs, and such…
People love familiarity. They really do, even when they are miserable with what they’re familiar with. They re-elect incumbent politicians who have proven harmful, because they are afraid of change. They stay in marriage…
I’ve seen a lot of people who have received the Spirit of God into their lives and are very devoted. And to some extent many of them are at least partly devoted to the Lord. But almost all are at least partly, if not lar…
One of the things that has amazed me beyond description for the entire time I've been in Christ is the utter blindness of the carnal mind. It is absolutely mind staggering. The scripture plainly tells us of the matter: "…
I’m not going to take this parable apart and get into every detail, but I do want to show what is the main and evident point that Jesus was making with this sobering and powerful parable. Like the two parables that we’ve…
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have b…
I’ve been hearing people trying to use Romans ch. 7 as an excuse for sin for over thirty years now. So I would just like to set the record straight, as to exactly what the apostle Paul was getting across in this vastly m…
So let's talk about baptism a little here today. I had an interesting discussion with some very fine folks a few days ago on this topic, and I've been fueled by the holy Ghost about it since then. First of all let me jus…
First of all we should note that the words ‘fellowship’ and ‘communion’ come from the same Greek word, (koy-nohn-ee’-ah). So it is important to understand that these two words have the exact same meaning, and the word th…
I was told recently by a Christian minister that the infallible witness of the resurrection of Christ is the fact that the apostles touched him after he had risen from the dead. “That which was from the beginning, which…
Righteous judgment is probably the most neglected and omitted element of the Gospel in this modern time. Everybody wants to love, or at least they think they do; but nobody wants to call a spade a spade. Until we can cal…
The parable of the ten virgins is a very revealing truth regarding the reality that some of God’s people will do what is required to be saved, and some will not. To first understand the parable, we need to note that it i…
Friends, this is not going to be a long post. It doesn’t need to be. Seeing there are many who profess faith in Christ, who look to the ‘Bible Code’ for truth to be revealed, I feel it necessary to make it plainly known…
If God were to put me on a platform today where I would literally be preaching to the entire world at once, do you know what I would tell them all? I would simply tell them to take advantage of every opportunity they hav…
“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a net, that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind: Which, when it was full, they drew to shore, and sat down, and gathered the good into vessels, but cast the bad aw…
The question for today is, what is the new covenant? This is not a difficult question to answer, as we will see in short order through the scriptures: “Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covena…
"Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit" (Eccl. 7:8). It's better to be 'patient in spirit than... proud in spirit,' because without patience…
I was informed recently of a natural disaster that is supposedly scheduled to happen soon in the area where I live. The emphasis that was given to me was that I needed to be prepared. That got me to thinking about being…
“Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee" (Isa. 26:3). What a glorious promise this is, to be kept in "perfect peace.” And the condition of the promise is not anythi…
Some people are just about impossible to edify. You can show them the love of God, seek common grounds with them, and demonstrate an obvious spirit of peace and graciousness toward them and those around them for an exten…
"Josiah was eight years old when he began to reign, and he reigned thirty and one years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jedidah, the daughter of Adaiah of Boscath. And he did that which was right in the sight of…
“But Job answered and said, Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up. For the arro…
