Does the Lord evaluate everyone “… who is called by My name” the same?  Does He “know” all church people with the same level of  intimacy?  If not, does He use a particular method to distinguish between believers?  True seekers of Truth know that the answer is “Yes.”  That method is commonly called “testing.”  God […]

The Jewish Talmud came into being while the tribes of Judah, Benjamin and Levi (the “Jews”) were being held captive in Babylon following their defeat by the world’s first superpower.  Obviously, God considered the Jews to be even more vile than the Babylonians as is evidenced by the fact that the Jews were the losers.  […]

When Thomas Jefferson referred to the “separation of church and state” in a letter to a friend he was referring to the fact that the United States must not establish a state religion to which all must pledge allegiance.  The early arrivals to the New World had left Europe in order to escape such a […]

The Word “apocalypse” in reference to the final book in the Lord’s Holy Scriptures (Bible/Truth/Gospel/will/covenant) is usually misunderstood among the few who read it.  Like the Apostle Paul’s writing, it is “hard to be understood” (2 Pet. 3:16).  Without the Holy Spirit, it is impossible.  Many who claim to understand it do not.  The Word […]

In Mark 1:10-13 we are reminded of the fact that Jesus of Nazareth was a 100% human being like all other human beings.  He was totally without power within Himself to resist Satan and to do the miraculous works He did during the 3 1/2 years of His earth-bound ministry.  Verse 10 tells us that […]

“You” is a word everyone understands.  No matter the situation, “you,” whether in a singular or plural context, is understood.  Nowhere is this truth more important than in the salvation process.  Read The Process of Salvation.  Key word–Process.  Many times throughout the Holy Scriptures the Lord emphasizes the role of the individual (“you”), first in […]

As defined in part one of this series, “liberal” means that one’s concept of truth, right and reality is not restricted to what has been proven to be the truth, to what has historically determined to be right, to universally agreed-upon reality.  In the spiritual world in which God and His true saints live, “Truth” […]

According to The New Webster’s Concise Dictionary of the English Language: Encyclopedic Edition, the word LIBERAL means “not restricted to the literal meaning.”  To a true liberal, it means not having any restrictions at all–the literal meaning is whatever he/she wants it to be.  To the liberal, to wish is to create.  In other words, if […]

Why does the whole of professing churchdom proclaim that the true Gospel of Jesus Christ is about the man Himself–His birth, His life, His sacrifice and His ascendency to heaven where He now awaits churchman’s arrival, keys to his mansion in hand? Because it is so much easier and less time consuming to simply believe […]

Several hundred years ago there arose within professing Christendom a controversy over which Gospel (“good news”) was the Gospel that God commanded His messengers to preach and to instruct their congregations to obey relative to their thoughts, words and deeds–the conduct of their individual lives which is Biblically known as their “walk.” One part (we’ll […]
