Jesus Christ is the Almighty God. Rev. 1:8 He is declared to be the IMAGE of the Invisible God. Col. 1:15 In Him alone is the fullness of the Godhead dwelling bodily. Col. 2:9 He is Jehovah of the OT. Isa. 40:3 John declared Him to be God. Jn. 1:1 Thomas declared Him to be […]
A Wondrous Display of the Love of God
The question, “What think ye of Christ?” presents a dilemma to any thinking person. If Jesus Christ was not all that He claimed to be, He was the greatest deceiver of all time. Either we must accept Him as God made manifest in the flesh or reject him as the one who claimed to be […]
Be still and know that I am God
“Be still and know that I am God. I will be exalted in the nations. I will be exalted in the earth.” (Psa 46:10) Perhaps the most common sin of omission is the failure to worship the Lord for who He really is. Mistaken notions of God inevitably lead to misguided assumptions and decisions. Peter […]
Define Grace.
This demand reminds me of Abraham Lincoln’s “The Elephant and The Blind Men” illustration where several blind men use their sense of touch to describe an elephant. One of the blind men, standing next to the elephant’s leg, describes the elephant much like a tree trunk while another, standing near the trunk, describes the elephant […]
Faith Explained
Scripture explains thoroughly the meaning of the word it used in the first verse of Hebrews 11:1 (faith) in the rest of the chapter when it repeatedly demands faith be accompanied by action and since that faith from a human standpoint is always defined as faith toward God, what action can be made toward God […]
Why the Old Men Wept
And when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance of David king of Israel. And they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks unto […]
Seared Instead of Sacred!
1Ti 4:1-2 “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;” Far too many people have an unconscious conscience. Most people seem to think that their conscience […]
Laodicea Had A Warning
Tucked away, and almost overlooked in the book of Colossians, are four verses that reference the church of Laodicea. When most folks hear that church mentioned they immediately think of the admonition given to them in the book of Revelation. In fact, the church of Laodicea is mentioned more in Colossians than in Revelation. It […]
Beware, Ye Tinkers!
Like us, it could seem that Paul in his humanity, too, had to defeat the occasional demons of doubt. Thankfully, his efforts to encourage himself in the Lord inspired him to write words that have given encouragement to the saints of all ages since. In his ruminations, Paul was made aware of the uselessness, folly, […]
The "He" in Tithe
“Then Melchizedek king of Salem brought out bread and wine; he was the priest of God Most High. And he blessed him and said: “Blessed be Abram of God Most High, Possessor of heaven and earth; And blessed be God Most High, Who has delivered your enemies into your hand. And he gave him a […]
