ROMANS 8:37-39: This famous statement from the Apostle Paul is one of the primary passages church people use to prove that they are members in good standing in God’s church. Here Paul states that “WE” are more than conquerors through Jesus Christ. Note that “WE” referred to those who were on the same spiritual level […]

If 1000 church people were asked to prove that they are saved, born again, ready for the rapture, in good standing with the Lord, a child of God, etc., their answers would most likely consist of the following: 1) the identification of their membership (of “belonging to”) a specific religious organization (church, denomination, faith, etc. […]

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.

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.

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 […]

Not only has the command to test the spirits of those who lead us (First John 4:1) been totally neglected by the religious community, it is a most deadly sin. I spend hours each day on the internet, most of them working on these postings. I do however, spend some time looking for indications of […]

In Exodus 19 the Word (God of the Old Testament–Jesus–Jn. 1:1-4,14) was speaking to Moses concerning the 12 tribes of Israel. Read verses 5-8. 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 […]

His will was for mankind to have a good, prosperous, happy, safe, peaceful, productive life which was to last forever in the paradise known […]
