Point 2 of Christ’s commission involves His martyrdom and the two incredible feats He accomplished by submitting to the death sentence His Father had pronounced on Him.  In part A we discussed how His death enabled mankind to receive justification–forgiveness of all PAST sins through man’s faith and the Father’s grace–unearned favor.  Through the Lord’s […]

The second point relative to Christ’s commission from the Father involved two equally important acts, one of which was to enable holiness-seeking man to receive forgiveness of his sins.  This act is called “justification” and involves only one type of sin.  The Apostle Paul speaks to this miraculous, grace-based removal of transgressions in his letter […]

The purpose of this series is to highlight the three things (points) Jesus accomplished by 1) willingly submitting to a public beating, 2) willingly being put to death in the most cruel fashion imaginable, and 3) being resurrected from the dead by the power of God’s Holy Spirit.  In the first posting of this series […]

As God’s Messiah hung on the stake with His life flowing out of His side He uttered three words that would forever change the lives of those who would follow Him into eternity: “IT IS FINISHED” (Jn. 19:30).  Then He gave up His spirit, causing His death.  Read Did Jesus Die on a Cross?  Key […]

Satan and his fallen angels, Biblically known as “devils,” inhabit the air surrounding human beings.  They are, as noted earlier, confined to the earth and the heaven above it.  We know that there are at least three layers of what is called heaven.  Jeremiah 4:25 and Ezekiel 31:6 tell us that the first heaven is […]

In my opinion, the best description of Satan’s power and method of operation is found in the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church at Ephesus, the very center of Satan’s work in the ancient world.  In the 6th chapter, 12th verse of his letter he wrote: “For we do not fight against flesh and blood, […]

What you are about to read would infuriate 99.99% of those within professing Christendom if they happen to read it.  Why?  Because it is Bible Truth, which 99.99% of professing Christendom rejects, which proves that they are not God’s saints (holy ones).  Darkness hates light.  Those who walk in the darkness of Catholicism/Protestantism hate those […]

A prime example of Old Testament prophecy referring to New Testament times is found in the Book of Daniel.  Here the archangel Michael is speaking to him through words, dreams and visions.  However, the message he reveals to the prophet is neither for him nor his people at that time.  When Daniel mentions that he […]

For most of professing Christianity, the Old Testament is useful only as a source of religious  history.  This means that approximately 80% of God’s inspired Word to modern man has little, if any relevance in the day-to-day life of the New Testament Church.  Nothing could be further from the expressed will of the Almighty.  Recall […]

“Why do you talk about the Old Testament so much, with all that blood and everything.”  “When do you sacrifice your animals?”  “You spend too much time talking about the Sabbath.”  “That’s just that Jewish stuff.”  These are a few of the responses I have received upon speaking or writing about the Old Testament.  And […]
