This is January 2, 2021.  It is 6:00 a.m.  I am sitting in my office wondering what fresh lunacy will dominate my world today.  Tomorrow is Sunday, my nation’s  first sabbath of her new year.  These two “truths” represent the first two national sins the United States of America (and other “Christian nations”) will commit […]

In Romans 7:18-25 the Apostle Paul is relating his initial experience after meeting Jesus Christ on the road to Damascus.  He laments the fact that, as hard as he tried, he could not stop sinning.  The church contends that this passage characterized his spiritual state throughout the remainder of his life, therefore they, like him, […]

The “War of the Wills” begins at a point in time commonly referred to as “the age of accountability.”  This is the point at which one comes to know right from wrong, good from bad, and knows which one he/she should choose.  The descendants of Adam and Eve enter this age totally self-absorbed and self-serving, […]

In order to be one with the Almighty and walk with Him in agreement until the end man must have the proper attitude toward His will and man’s own will and understand that there is a continuous war being waged between the two that is life-long.  As was the case of Jesus of Nazareth just […]

This series is the follow-up to the previous series which dealt with God’s COMMAND to resist and overcome Satan’s temptations to sin, which is necessary for entrance into the Kingdom of God where paradise awaits. Resisting and overcoming Satan is dependent on the salvation seeker’s will and its interaction with God’s will.  If the interaction […]

In His letter to the church at Laodicea Jesus was speaking to the seventh and final church located along the Roman mail route in what is today the nation of Turkey.  He was also speaking to those who, in the distant future, would call themselves by His name but who would not obey Him.  These […]

We are told that God is the Alpha and the Omega–the beginning and the ending (Rev. 21:6 ).  He therefore knows the ending from the beginning.  Through His Old Testament prophets He foretold many of the things that later took place in the life of His chosen people–Israel.  Knowing this it comes as no surprise […]

In Matthew 24 we find the Lord’s disciples asking Him when the present world would end and the kingdom would be restored to Israel.  Jesus, being a man, did not know when the restoration would take place.  He shared with them what information He did have.  Because His Father had told Him, He knew that […]

In 1 Corinthians 10:11 we are told that what was spoken and recorded in ancient times was preserved for the benefit of those living at the close of this world’s present age.  The Old Testament was designed to serve as a warning and a teaching tool for those who would see the signs that would […]
