The world-wide information source known as “the internet” offers its viewers various types of information, some of which is valuable to those seeking insight into particular subjects. For example, YouTube offers  a steady diet of military power reports in which two important questions are asked and answered: Which nation is the most powerful? Whose military […]

The One who spoke to those who would be among His Very Elect in the New Testament Church (Mat. 10:26,27–see previous posting) had spoken the same message many generations earlier through the Prophet Ezekiel using different Words. Ezekiel recorded the Lord’s Words  in 43:10,11: “Thou son of man, show the house of Israel–the ancestor of […]

Anciently, the Almighty commissioned King Solomon to build a structure for Him in Jerusalem which He called His Temple. Among other things this structure would have two courts within its walls where the Jews could assemble and an area outside its walls, called Solomon’s Porch, where Gentiles could gather to hear the Law being read […]

Not only does the Lord command His true saints to spiritually segregate themselves from the unchurched world, He also commands that they separate themselves from those in His church who do not obey Him. The Apostle Peter wrote to true believers about this situation in the second chapter of His second epistle when he warned […]

“Familiarity breeds contempt” is an expression heard in the social arena which is often found to be true. The more one knows about another person the less one likes the other person.

In Genesis chapter four we learn that Adam and Eve’s first son has decided to follow in their rebellious footsteps. A grown man, Cain had obeyed God perfectly until he began to allow Satan to approach him.

His shed blood enables them to receive forgiveness of their past sins. His death enables them to die to Satan’s temptations. His resurrection […]

We first learn about the Lord’s command for sanctification (spiritual and, when possible, physical separation from Satan’s people) in the third chapter of the Book of Genesis. Here we find Eve, having been lured by the Serpent into his physical presence (her first mistake) listening to him and discussing the things of the Lord (her […]

SANCTIFICATION (Gr-hagiazo) (Heb-gadai)– to be called out (set apart) for righteous living; to be sacred, consecrated, dedicated. The current religious catchword in this era of religious correctness is “inclusion,” meaning that the object of all religious undertakings is to assure everyone involved that “I’m O.K; you’re O.K; we’re all O.K., it’s all good, we’re all […]

Let God-seekers remember that in this life God’s holy angels minister to those human beings who serve Him by believing His Word and obeying it, and that Jesus, being a man, was served by them after 40 fasting for 40 days. Remember also that man, including Jesus of Nazareth, was created “a little lower than […]
