Over the past several months I have been dealing with an uber-religious lady about whom I have written in a previous posting. As I was talking with her recently the subject of a mutual friend came up. This gentleman is known for being especially good to his wife who, due to an accident, is suffering […]

Andy Rooney, a popular t.v. commentator in the past, once voiced a truth that the entire world should embrace: “To ignore the facts does not change the facts.” Years ago there was a popular fairy tale that involved a not-so-pretty woman who would gaze into her mirror and ask: “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who’s […]

This morning (11/8/2017) I awoke to find a news media heading proclaiming: “California on Fire From Ventura to San Diego.” Remembering what God did to Sodom and Gomorrah and why, I humbly suggested to the Lord not to forget the American version of Sodom and Gomorrah–San Francisco. And while He is pouring out His sin-activated […]

The Almighty has graciously given Truth seekers His instructions for living in writing in order to prevent them from being ruled by their emotions which are often based on the “truths” they hear coming from Satan’s pulpits and podiums. As I have said many times, for those who seek spiritual truth, everything comes back to […]

An episode from my distant past (1957) will illustrate Satan’s power to persuade church people that man is right and God is wrong. In Isaiah 5:20 the Lord warned that men call good evil and evil good. Both church and secular history reveal that many church doctrines are of heathen origin. See Simon of Samaria: […]

In the previous series we investigated the reaction of the Apostle Peter when the chips were down, how he failed miserably two times, only to bounce back and go on to be chief of God’s apostles. He eventually gave his life for God’s ministry and message. In those postings the Apostle Paul’s reactions to similar […]

“All have sinned and come short of the glory of God” is a Biblical statement known by every church person who has ever lived. One of those sins involves the failure of one’s faith at some point. The key to overcoming a momentary lapse in faith is to follow the Apostle Peter’s example by reaching […]

The Apostle Peter has literally “stepped out on faith” based on a single Word spoken from the darkness of a Sea of Galilee storm by a man named Jesus of Nazareth. His life hanging in a one-word balance, Peter is walking into history. As he made his way toward the form in the distance he […]

Faith comes from hearing (or reading) God’s Word (Rom. 10:17) and allowing It to do Its work (take root and grow) in Its readers and hearers. As this series will show, God’s true saints believe and act–thereby proving their faith–upon hearing or reading even one Word from the Lord if the circumstance so dictates. The […]

“The just(tified) shall live by faith” (Gal. 3:11). Justification is the removal of all “sins of the PAST” (Rom. 3:24,25). Following justification and conversion (not salvation) the question then becomes “now what?” What is the convert to do once Jesus Christ has cleansed him ? Now that his PAST sins have been removed, how does […]
