Does the time element called the “week” occupy a significant status in God’s plan for man’s existence?  Does the 7th (final) day of the week (Saturday) occupy a significant status in God’s week?  Why is the week comprised of seven days?  Who determined that the year should be divided into seven day segments?  Considering the […]

The Apostle Paul speaks about the Glory Road indirectly in 2 Corinthians 6:14-7:1.  I ended part 1 of this series by quoting the last verse of that passage in which he states in no uncertain terms how one must walk (live) in order to receive God’s promises, including eternal life.  Paul tells us that we […]

June 18, 2021.  2:58 a.m.  An hour or so ago as I prayed and emptied my heart to the Almighty I was reminded of a situation that took place many years ago in the world of college basketball.  Having been a part of that world I can assure you that it is a world in […]

In the first posting of this series I emphasized the words “yea” (“yes”) and “amen” (“so be it”).  “Yea and amen” is the “headline” relative to the promises God made to those who believe His Word.  However, the most important part of those promises–the “fine print”–must be addressed before “yea and amen” can apply.  The […]

“Amen.”  How many times has that word been uttered following a prayer–billions?  Perhaps trillions?  But do the speakers know what that word means?  It means: “So be it,” and “it is done.”  “Amen” is intricately tied to the word “yea” and to the expression “in Him.”  A spiritual statement containing the words “in Him, yea […]

The word “predestinate” appears twice in the King James version of the Bible–Romans 8:29,30.  The word “predestinated” appears in Ephesians 1:5,11.  We must understand that these words do not apply to everyone who claims to be a Christian.  They apply only to a small group–God’s remnant, His little flock, His Very Elect whose claim to Christian status is based […]

The word “predestination” comes from the Greek word; proorizo, which means that a specific outcome has been predetermined.  In the human arena, predestination means that a person has no choice but to conform to a predetermined model or template, to perform a predetermined act(s), or to become a predetermined type of person.  Predetermination is applied to people […]

The Holy Spirit is the power of the Godhead which is comprised of the Father and the Son.  It is through the limitless, omnipotent, omnipresent power of the Spirit that God (Heb.–“Elohim”– “Gods”) renewed the surface of the earth (Gen. 1:2-25/ Ps. 104:30) and created man (Gen. 1:26-31/ Job 33:4). It is through the power […]

In John 7:38-39 we find Jesus speaking to some of the Jews who had gathered in Jerusalem to celebrate the Feast of Tabernacles.  On the final day of the feast He said: “If any man thirst (for righteousness–Mat. 5:6), let him come unto Me and drink.  He that believes in Me, as the Scripture says, […]

The Lord’s Testament (testimony) is known as the Holy Bible, was written to, for and about Israel.  In it, the only time Gentiles are mentioned  is when they came into contact with Israelites.  The Hebrew word for Gentiles is “goiim,” which means “heathen.”  Jesus called a Gentile woman a “dog.”  She was no different from […]
