HOLY DAYS: There are those, in fact the vast majority within the church, who believe that the statement found in Galatians 4:10 refers to God’s Holy Days which were instituted prior to the added law and therefore were not a part of it. Such people also believe that verse 10 gives them permission to avoid […]

As is the case with any written message, one of the first things the author needs to do is to identify the subject about whom or what he/she is writing. In His epistles to the churches under his jurisdiction, the Apostle Paul normally does this first thing. In his letter to the churches located in […]

Beginning in Genesis chapter one verse one we find God (the Word Who came to earth as Jesus of Nazareth–Jn. 1:1-4,14) re-creating the surface of the earth, which, at that time was covered by water due to a universe-wide war that had taken place earlier. Beginning with “the beginning” referred to in this passage, He […]

This question is answered by the words, thoughts and deeds of each and every person who claims to be a child of God. Each believer should ask him/herself that question periodically, then answer it truthfully. In order to form a true mental picture of our spiritual life we must understand that EACH PERSON ABOVE THE […]

I wonder in amazement when I behold the spiritual power that Satan–the Serpent of Eden and Revelation–has over the lives of the world’s masses, specifically the church masses. When I watch and listen to the reactions to the modern-day acts of the Biblical God, and to the teachings documented in His Holy Scriptures, I am […]

In Chapter 3 of the Apostle John’s first epistle to his disciples he warns them (and us) that the closer they get to God the lower will be the world’s opinion of them. I have personally experienced this Truth as I have grown closer to the Lord over the past few decades. I am not […]

In chapter 2 verses 15-29 the Apostle John goes to considerable lengths to warn his followers about the ways of the world and how they differ from the ways of the Lord. In verses 15 through 17 he uses the word “love” relative to one’s infatuation with the things of the world that surrounds them, […]

In order to fully appreciate what the man known as Jesus of Nazareth did for the whole of mankind we need to understand who He was prior to His coming to earth and why He did what He did. In his Gospel the Apostle John tells us Who and what Jesus was before He came […]

In the series titled “It is finished,” I point out Scripturally that Jesus taught His Gospel Truth, lived it and died in order to enable the salvation seeker to receive JUSTIFICATION (the removal of all PAST SINS), thereby making him/her RIGHTEOUS. As we are told, only the righteous will be saved, and there would not […]

In Romans 16:25-27 the Apostle Paul, having written a lengthy epistle to the Gentile church in Rome in which he discusses justification (removal of all past sins) at length, ends the letter with a cryptic message which placed everything he had written in its proper context. In his message to the church he mentions justification […]
