In preparation for their becoming one with Him and the Father, Jesus warned His disciples and all who would obey their (His) Words, that the path to eternal life would not be easy to walk. In Matthew 10:34-36 He warned: “Do not think that I came to being peace to the earth. I came with […]

Upon hearing or reading Christ’s warning to God-seekers in Luke 14:26 all within the worldly church, along with some within God’s church, refuse to accept the Truth in His statement. According to those unbelievers, God would never tell His people to have nothing to do with family members, certainly not one’s own spouse, children or […]

According to Scripture, those who call themselves “the church” fall into three basic categories: 1) Those who claim to be God’s people but refuse to obey Him, thereby excluding themselves from His true church, 2) those who are part of His true church but who refuse to obey Him, and 3) those who prove that […]

In the previous three postings we came to understand the Lord’s attitude toward the “one god serves all” theology that is rapidly gaining ground within professing Christendom. This “it’s all good” mind-set is an attempt by Satan to create a singular global religious entity. The Lord tells us that he will succeed. Now we will […]

Concerning the peace ambassadors who will weep bitter tears during the Great Tribulation, what does the Biblical God say about them? Who are they? Why are they weeping? The answers to these questions were found in the previous postings. Among the weepers will be the “ambassadors for peace” who had assured their congregations that they […]

In Isaiah 33:7 the ancient prophet, in describing the latter days of the age, noted that peace seekers would be very disappointed and would do whatever they could to make and maintain peace among those who claim to be God’s people. Within the increasingly popular “same god” theology mentioned in the previous posting, two catch-words–“love” […]

In Isaiah 33:7 the ancient prophet, when writing about the Great Tribulation that would strike the world at the end of the age, warned that during that future time of global terror and death, “ambassadors for peace will weep bitterly.” The Institutional Church is the mother ship of all of the world’s ambassadors for peace. […]

First John 3:1-10,13 tell us that those who are God’s true saints are, in His Words, “sons of God.” He also notes that the world, including the church world, does not recognize His sons for who they are. To the church world, God’s saints are children of Satan–deceived souls who serve the devil. This is […]

In First John we find the ultimate Truth (Jn. 17:17) relative to the subject of this series. Let us return to that portion of God’s Word and pick up where we left off. 2:1-6; 24-29– The apostles wrote “these things” (that they heard Jesus say and saw Him do) to the church (1 Cor. 10:11) […]

Many a religious soul who has repeatedly “missed the mark” has, in the eyes of many in professing Christendom, “fallen from grace.” Without realizing it, the mark-misser’s accusers have refuted one of the basic tenants of the Institutional Church–that grace is awarded unconditionally, and that faith is all that is required to receive and live […]
