Before beginning this series I want to thank all of the people, most of whom appear to be new readers, who have written me a number of positive reviews of my work for the Lord.  I deeply appreciate hearing from you.  Several readers say that they were looking forward to reading other series.  For the […]

Beginning with Adam, every human being who ever lived was given a personal and unique spirit upon receiving his/her first breath into his/her soul (body).  Upon the death of each and every human being: “the dust returns to the earth as it was and the spirit returns to God who gave it” to him/her (Eccl. […]

“You shall not surely die.”  With those words Satan told his first lie to a human being.  There would be many, many more, many of which have become foundational doctrines for his Institutional (Catholic/Protestant) Church System.  The crux of Satan’s Edenic lie was that man has an immortal soul.  In my early life I remember […]

Following World War I the heads of several national governments concluded that a centralized, globally-recognized, globally powerful authority needed to be created that would prevent such a catastrophe from ever taking place again.  With this in mind the League of Nations was formed.  It was hoped, and many believed, that this united force would be […]

In Eden God gave Adam and Eve a vision of holiness and commanded them to live their lives according to that vision.  The payoff for doing so would be eternal life in paradise.  They were to obey the vision He had given them, which included avoiding the forbidden tree.  They were free to eat of […]

Contrary to the supposed “Bible Truth” we have been taught, human beings do not have Adam’s sin gene in their spiritual dna at birth.  Adam’s sin transferal miracle is nothing more than wishful thinking on the part of sin-addicted church people who, unwilling to deny Satan control over their lives, have embraced the teaching of […]

In the final posting of the series we will focus on THE vision God has given those who truly seek it and vow to live what they see as long as they draw breath.  That vision is described in Hebrews 2:9: “But we see Jesus.”  The vision is the life that Jesus lived as a […]

King David was a visionary.  He saw THE vision, lived it, fell from it, paid dearly for doing so, repented and lived the rest of his life with it fixed in his heart.  In the previous posting I repeated part of his Psalm 8 prayer to God in which he asked why He was so […]

“Where there is no vision, the people perish ….” (Prov. 29:18).  What am I doing here?  What is the purpose of this life?  Without THE vision supplied by the Lord one will never be able to answer those very important questions.  As I stated in the series titled Preparing for Eternity: The Purpose of Life, […]

What is true Biblical, God-supplied joy?  Does such joy come and go?  Does a true saint’s joy level rise when things are going good and decline when things are going badly?  Did the prophets and apostles joy fluxuate relative to their changing situations?  Was Paul’s joy the same when he was awaiting the downward thrust […]
