Chapter one verses fifteen through twenty-five: Approximately 120 disciples of Jesus have followed His instructions to return to Jerusalem where they have been staying in the upper room of a private residence. Those who would shortly become apostles (sent ones), are identified by name. By naming those who would be sent out to officially minister […]

Chapter one verses nine through fourteen: Jesus had returned from being with God the Father where He received His inheritance (the universe), having earned it by way of His sinless life and salvation- providing death. Like the “nobleman” in the parable of the pounds, Jesus (the Nobleman) had gone away (to heaven) to receive a […]

In the previous posting I listed the “fruits of the Spirit” as found in Galatians 5:22. This fruit is produced by the power of the Holy Spirit abiding in and working through  God’s true saints. This is the fruit by which they are known (Mat. 7:16). This fruit is manifested only by obedience to God’s […]

Chapter one verses 4,5: In verse 3 Luke tells us that, following His rebirth and resurrection, Jesus returned to the Father, then later returned to earth where He met with His disciples for 40 days, teaching them “the things pertaining to the Kingdom of God,” which had been His message and the message He had […]

Chapter one verses two and three: In this passage Luke assumes that Theophilus knows about the life, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Here he addresses the fact that Jesus, having left earth and returned to the Father, then returned to earth where, for 40 days, He taught His disciples “the things pertaining to the […]

Today I am beginning a series on a subject which all Truth seekers should find interesting–The Book of Acts.

Also, the true meanings and explanations concerning a particular […]

In the final statement of the previous posting I wrote that exactness is mandatory for anyone seeking to enter the Kingdom of God. I then provided several Scriptural references which highlighted the fact that God’s Word is as sharp as a two-edged sword, opening up the God-seeker to His Truth while exposing his errors and […]

Questions that demand answers: Does the Institutional (Catholic/Protestant) Church believe that God will deny salvation to a man because he lacks only “one thing” (Mk. 10:21)? Does the church believe Jesus’ statement that only a “few” true God seekers will search for and “find” the strait gate (His church), “strive” to enter it, then diligently […]

Is exactness a New Testament command from God? He answers through the Apostle Peter who warns us that judgment begins in the church, and that only the righteous in the church will be saved, and they just barely (1 Pet. 4:18). This statement, along with every Word written in the New Testament, was written to, […]

Israel has now wandered in the Sinai Desert (the Desert of Sin) for 40 years while the Lord killed off the guilty generation. Now we find Joshua preparing to lead the Israelites into the land God had promised their father Abraham many generations earlier. In preparation for entering the Promised Land God gave Joshua a […]
