From day one of the ministry of Jesus of Nazareth He was busy training those who would pick up the mantel of ministry, apply what He taught them in word and example, take what they had been taught to the world and train those who would come after them until His return at the end […]

For generations people who believe what is written in the Book of Acts have voiced the desire for the church to return to the type of ministry the Lord’s apostles demonstrated during the first 60 years of church history. Others, though they believe what is written in the book called The Acts of the Apostles, […]

The church is often referred to as “the house of the Lord.” Anciently, when Moses met with the Lord Who appeared in a burning bush, he was told to remove His shoes because the ground on which he was standing was “holy ground” (Exo. 3:5). At that moment in time that parcel of land was […]

If you have not read “My People Who Are Called By My Name” and Who Are God’s People? (key words–Called and People respectively), I suggest that you do so in conjunction with this series. I cannot stress enough the need for salvation seekers to know about, believe and walk THE LORD’S ONE AND ONLY WAY […]

In Second Chronicles 7:1-14 we find an interesting, and eye-opening lesson which all who profess their allegiance to the Lord must learn and learn from. In the first 12 verses the writer records the time when King Solomon, having built the most incredible structure ever on earth–the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem–prayed. Immediately fire […]

Notice in verse 5 the word “then” which separated what God commanded them to do and what He would do as a result of their obedience to His commands. Then note […]

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 […]
