In the fourth chapter of the Book of Genesis we find that Adam and Eve’s first son has killed their second son and buried him in the ground.  In verse 9 God is questioning Cain as to the whereabouts of his brother Abel.  After lying to the Lord, Cain asks the question that mankind should […]

Background on Scripture production. The method God uses to speak to man through His written Word is as follows: The spirit God (Yehweh) spoke to His co-God (Adonai–the Word–Jn. 1:1-4,14) through the Holy Spirit.  Read The God of the Old Testament.  Key word–Old.  The Word spoke God’s Words to the prophets by way of the […]

In a posting titled The Church-Society Connection I proved that “As goes the church, so goes the society.”  Key word–Connection.  In that posting I gave three examples which revealed the powerful influence the Institutional Church (Catholicism/Protestantism) has on the direction in which societies evolve morally.  I will briefly explain the three examples: Affirmative Action, the […]

The revival being widely hoped for, and in some cases predicted, did not begin with COVID-19.  It began many years ago while the Almighty was administering His curses on modern man because of his rejection of Him.  The call for revival has been a chorus heard repeatedly throughout the world.  The Coronavirus merely brought the […]

Now that we know what sanctification is and that one must be sanctified in order to inherit eternal life, the final step is to learn how to enter into sainthood.  Jesus Christ tells us how in John 17:6-20.  Let us go there and pick up the Lord’s prayer to the Father after He and the […]

In the ninth chapter of John’s gospel beginning with verse 14 we find John’s disciples speaking with Jesus, whom John had identified as God’s Messiah.  They were wondering why they fasted often but His disciples did not fast at all.  The Lord’s answer has much to do with the “walk” (thoughts, words and acts–the totality […]

In Matthew 7:22,23 Jesus has warned false prophets and false parishioners of their fate.  He specifically warns them that in failing to obey His Law (iniquity) they are sinning (1 Jn. 3:4).  Sin, the Apostle Paul tells us, produces death.  But before physical life-ending death comes to the sinner, other forms of “death” will plague […]

In His Sermon on the Mount message to those who want to spend eternity with Him, Jesus warned that false prophets would rise up among them, proclaim Him as the promised Messiah, then lead many into the two-headed, multi-bodied, Scripture-hating beast known as the Catholic/Protestant Church.  As a former minister within that religious quagmire, I […]

“By their fruits you shall know them” (Mat. 7:20), said Jesus of Nazareth while speaking to His disciples during the Sermon on the Mount.  By His language usage during the sermon it is clear that His message was designed for a global audience.  He was telling His ministers, then and now, as well as those […]

In Matthew 7:13-27 Jesus is concluding what is called “the Sermon on the Mount” in which He was teaching His disciples the “fine print” of what would become the foundation of their ministry.  As He taught them (4:25-5:2) the multitudes that had followed Him from the surrounding areas listened to His message, a message we […]
