Everything man does or says begins in the mind, known Biblically as the heart. This includes the formation of his spiritual foundation. Man lives–thinks, acts and speaks–according to his spiritual foundation which is based either on God’s engrafted Word or Satan’s implanted feelings. Every aspect of man’s life is governed by this foundation–his core set […]

As the Lord tells us repeatedly, there is much more to true, Bible-based faith than simply believing in Him. There is more to it than believing that His Word is Truth, as Jesus declared in John 17:17. We are told in James 2:14 that those two factors are not enough to save the soul of […]

As is always the case with God, there are conditions that must be met before any of His promises can be received. In actuality, all conditions can be summarized into one–OBEDIENCE TO HIS WORD. That Word, which is summarized in the Ten Commandments, is THE (only) foundation (Rock) upon which the true saint builds his […]

Through the sense of touch, hearing, seeing, smelling and tasting man is able to maintain contact with the natural world in which he lives. However, there is another world–a spirit world–about which most people know very little even though the beings in the spirit world are as real as those in the material world. Unlike […]

In order to intelligently discuss a subject everyone involved in the discussion must agree on the definition of the terms to be used in the discussion. Without term definition we invariably find ourselves, as we say, “comparing apples to oranges.” Since “faith” and “feelings” are the subjects of this series, let us determine the true […]

In Isaiah 1:24,25,28-31 the Lord tells the House of Israel–His chosen people–that He will curse them and purge out those who refuse to obey Him (28-31). Contrarily, He will forgive the sins of those who turn from their wicked ways and obey Him. He will give them righteous judges and counselors as in the former […]

Isaiah 1:11-16 is often used by the Institutional Church as “proof” that all Old Testament commands were done away with upon the death of Jesus. This is understandable when people fail to study, learn, believe and obey “… every Word that proceeds from the mouth of God” as Jesus Himself said all must do in […]

In Isaiah 1:5-15,21,23 we find the Lord, speaking to the Jews through the prophet, describing in detail their spiritual condition and reminding them of how He despises the religious exercises they perform with zeal and regularity. The modern church believes that in verses 11-15 God does away with His former commands to observe His weekly […]

In the Book of Isaiah chapters 1:2-4 and 2:5,6 we find the Lord speaking through the prophet and addressing the 12 tribes of Israel whom He calls “My people” (a single nation) and “a (singular) sinful nation.” In 1:4 God calls Himself the “Holy One of (all) Israel.” It is important that we remember that […]

In Isaiah 3:4,5,12 we find the ancient prophet of God warning Israel that, if they did not turn from their wicked ways, repent, believe His Word and obey it, a time would come when people with childlike mentality and emotional stability would rule over them. Time has proven that the Israel of today (Britain, the […]
