Preaching the “Logos” of the Cross “For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.” I love John 1:1! – What is the significance of a word? Words without proper definitions are just so much useless babble. It is not […]
Recurring Spirits
Rev 2:19-23 Jude 11-13 I. The Bible recites several warnings to the church which are recorded in Jude and Revelation. These warnings to the church are drawn from people and events from the Old Testament—people and events of antiquity. Jude warns us of the spirits of Cain, Balaam, and Korah and the Book of […]
An Issue Of Holiness
Holiness is an issue of the heart. And the issues of life cometh out of the heart. That’s another way of saying that what is IN the heart is shown OUTWARDLY. Make no mistake about it — God requires both! Both the Old Testament and the New Testament are filled with instructions regarding outward things: […]
Walk In The Spirit
Galatians 5:16 (LITV) “But I say, Walk in the Spirit, and you will not fulfill the lust of the flesh.” What a powerful statement! For those followers of our Lord Jesus who truly desire to live victoriously; Paul has in few words declared a strong truth which if lived-out will produce overcoming Victory!! In His […]
The Elusive Why
It’s not the “how” that most of the time troubles us, no, it is the “why” that often troubles and even, at times, torments us. Some people, who are usually devoid of spiritual things, attempt to answer life’s difficulties by saying that the reason that bad things happen to good people can be explained by […]
Days of Crisis
Days of Crisis There are three kinds of crisis. 1. Moments and times of personal stress brought about by things focused on our personal lives. 2. Dynamic circumstances that impact groups of people, and even the whole world, making a different and more dangerous today, compared to the recent past. 3. The “Existential Crisis” – […]
And what I say unto you I say unto all, Watch.
Beginning with David, 3000 years ago, there has been a theme that has been as close to a universal intercession as any other. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. – Psalms 122:6 David took the city of Jerusalem from the Jebusites and it was there that the moveable, temporary […]
The Jews Saw a Trinity?
Trinitarians will tell you that the Jews had a fairly well developed concept of the trinity. This is religious insanity. On the day of Pentecost the Jews looked upon Him whom they had pierced and recalled that God, through Zechariah, had said “Me”. It’s the Greeks who had to explain it and went to great […]
It’s Time to Repaint the Barn…
One of the failures of the present day news media is that it thrives only on current and spectacular events which have a very short shelf life—today’s emphasis is tomorrow’s amnesia. The fallacy of momentary attention is that it breeds lack of residual importance. In other words, the out-of-focus issue loses it vitalness in the […]
When “This Kind” Arrives In Your Life
Howbeit this kind goeth not out but by prayer and fasting. Matt 17:21 Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked […]
