In the previous postings we learned about the will of God for man (Heb.–Adam). Man was His most prized creation whom He formed into His own image and His own likeness. His will was for mankind to have a good, prosperous, happy, safe, peaceful, productive life which was to last forever in the paradise known […]

In part one of this series we learned that it is God’s will for man to be happy, successful, at peace, etc. in this life. Deuteronomy 28:1-14 and Leviticus 16:1-3 tell us that this is His will for all of mankind. This has been His plan for mankind from the creation of Adam (Heb.–man) until […]

Several years ago I received a notice in the mail that I had won $400.00 to be given to me by a business in Dallas, Texas, about 100 miles from where I live. The notice stated that “Your name is already on the money” and that it was at a particular location and was “waiting […]

In the first posting on this subject we learned that, because 1) God is a spirit, 2) spirits cannot die, therefore the Word had to become a human being in order to die for the sins of human beings. In this posting we will examine the second part of the answer to the question found […]

In John 1:1-4,14 the apostle, writing under the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Pet. 1:21), states that “Holy men of old spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” Then either the prophets themselves or their scribes (recorders) wrote what they had said.

That being the case, all of us need to follow His example and humbly admit that, in and of ourselves, we can do nothing correctly using our own leadership and power. After asking God for understanding and the humility to embrace […]

“Seek first the Kingdom of God and all these things (every need) will be provided for you” (Mat. 6:33). The Gospel of the Kingdom of God was Christ’s message as He walked this earth (Mk. 1:14). He commanded that His apostles preach the kingdom message and perform miracles in order to prove that what they […]

I just talked with a woman who, having a lot of free time on her hands, stated that she was looking for a hobby. This highly religious lady obviously does not consider learning more about the God she supposedly worships and serves more important than a hobby. She could see no reason to fill her […]

The fourth word in the Apostle Paul’s letter to Timothy is “given,” with God doing the giving (making known) His will for mankind. In the Holy Scriptures He declares to salvation seekers His rewards for obedience to His will and His curses for disobedience to His will. Contrary to the opinion of many, the prophets […]

Why is it that so many people do not understand the Bible? Why is there so much disagreement when it comes to God’s inspired Word? The short answer is: MAN INSISTS ON SELF-GOVERNANCE. The long answer is: MOST BIBLE OWNERS ARE NOT WILLING TO OBEY THE COMMANDS OF GOD FOUND IN THE BIBLE AND LOOK […]
