In His Holy Scriptures the Almighty has spelled out in detail His definitions of holiness and sin which are paths leading to either life or death.  He has given to man the power to choose which path he will take and has described for him the results associated with each path.  We are daily confronted […]

  Say the title of this series to a room filled with church people and the laughter, derision and, yes, hatred will be immediately forthcoming.  The most often heard epithet will involve “falling from grace,” of which I have been accused.  The Biblical fact of the matter is that sin is a choice–the most idiotic […]

In the third chapter of the Book of Judges we find that the Israelites have disobeyed God’s direct command to have nothing to do with the heathen among whom they lived.  The Israelites, having free moral agency as do all other people, had done the opposite of God’s commands.  They had married heathen wives and […]

When Bill Clinton was elected to the U.S. presidency it immediately became clear what God was doing.  I will preface the following with a saying I coined long ago following much experience and years of Bible study: “If a person or a nation wants to commit spiritual suicide, God will provide the tree, the rope […]

The answer is “Yes.”  Which, thanks to Satan, creates a very serious problem.  Because the Almighty occasionally blesses a sinner or answers a sinner’s prayer, the automatic assumption is that the recipient of God’s kindness is right with Him.  As the Scriptures repeatedly tell us, this is not necessarily true.  In fact, it is rarely […]

The Almighty calls the spiritual “walk” which is founded on His light (Word/Law) His “good olive tree.”  He calls all other religious beliefs–Christianity, Hinduism, Islam, etc.–Satan’s “wild olive tree” (Rom. 11:17,24).  His describing all other religions as “wild” means that they are not controlled by Him.  Either He or Satan controls every human being and […]

Since the beginning the unchanging God (Mal. 3:6/ Heb. 13:8/ Jam. 1:17) has not altered His ultimate goal for all of mankind (Jn. 3:16,17).  Nor have His rules (Law) for reaching that goal have not changed.  Nor has His method of atoning for having failed tobey those rules.  From the time of Adam’s sin to […]

The English word “gentile” in the Hebrew language is “goiim,” meaning heathen.  A heathen is anyone who does not obey the God of the Israelites–the God of the Bible (Heb.-book).  Historically, God’s people have been known as “the people of the Book.”  The Bible was written to, for and about the Hebrews–a word that means […]

Covid-19, chaos, anarchy, destruction and death in the streets, sex scandals, child trafficing, invasion from the south,  skyrocketing unemployment, the government printing money, food deserts due to burned out businesses, a 20-year war, political infighting, children and women running the government, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, drought, famine, earthquakes ….  What do all of these things have […]

I can’t remember when I was not told from pulpit and podium that salvation cannot be earned through works.  It was not until I was in my latter years that I learned, through my own, Holy Spirit-directed Bible study, that salvation cannot be attained without works.  The misunderstanding found among church people lies in their […]
