DISAFFILIATION means to separate parties who were previously in agreement intellectually, physically, politically, etc. Upon their separation, each party goes in its own direction and the unified group no longer exists. In the spiritual realm the word refers to the separation of God’s true church as it was in her early stages from what she […]

In John 3:1 we find a Pharisee talking with Jesus of Nazareth. From the tone of the conversation it is obvious that the man and his fellow Pharisees had thoroughly investigated this miracle-working carpenter who was developing a dangerously large following. Everywhere Jesus went there were Pharisees in the crowd whose job it was to […]

In Exodus 15:26 we read where God promised His chosen people (the 12 tribes of Israel) that He would not place diseases on them, and that if they did become sick, they could look to Him for help because: “I AM THE LORD WHO HEALS YOU. These people were the biological and spiritual ancestors of […]

The Lord speaks to me in a variety of ways, most of which take me by surprise and takes place when I least expect it. And I love it. Last night I was trolling YouTube looking for something spiritual to read or listen to when I “just happened to see and hear” a famous theologian […]

In the previous postings we established the Biblical fact that whatever enters the eyes (and ears) enters the mind and remains there forever. Considering the truth of the saying that: “A picture is worth a thousand words,” we will focus on the eyes and their importance in the life of salvation seekers for the remainder […]

Before examining what Jesus said in His Sermon On The Mount, we must understand to whom He was speaking. To discern this important fact we turn to Matthew 4:23-25. Jesus has just concluded a ministry tour of Syria, Galilee, Decapolis, Jerusalem, Judea and Jordan. A map of the Middle East reveals that He covered quite […]

When God, Who defines reality, says: “Man CANNOT serve two masters” (Mat. 6:24), what He actually means is: “MAN CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS.” PERIOD. But today approximately 2.4 billion people in fact do serve two masters. This in spite of the fact that they claim to be the disciples of the ONE Who made the […]

Most professing Christians have been told from early on how magnificent God’s angels are. Bible stories regale us with their exploits. For example, the Prophet Ezekiel wrote concerning the angels that accompanied the Lord God Almighty: “As for the likeness of the living creatures (angels), their appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like […]

In Second Timothy 3:5,7,13-17 we find the Apostle Paul writing to a young evangelist friend named Timothy who had confessed to his mentor that he had shed tears over some of the people he ministered to because they refused to believe and obey what he had told them from the Lord’s Word (1:4). Paul had […]

Faith is taking God at His Word (Rom. 10:19). Faith is knowing that God says what He means and means what He says. Satan has much faith. He knows that God’s Word must not be altered in any way–not a jot or tittle deleted, or added to, or interpreted or edited in any way. Satan […]
