At various times over the years God has spoken to me loud and clear, giving me instructions as to what to do and how to do it. This day–8/8/17/9:30 a.m.–God spoke to me as forcefully as He ever has, telling me that I am to give the Catholic/Protestant religious system a message. I have spoken […]

Regarding exactness, the fact that Jesus of Nazareth was held to the same standard as are all men is brought out in Matthew 28:6 where we find some women arriving at His burial place to prepare Him for official burial. Upon approaching the tomb they were met by an angel who told them that Jesus […]

As obedient as Abraham was, he did not strictly obey God in every instance, and was punished for it. In Genesis 12:1 we find the Lord saying to him: (You, Abraham) “Get out of your country, and from (all) your kindred and from your father’s house (from all his relatives) and (you, Abraham) go to […]

Let us return to the distant past to the man who exemplifies the very term “exact” relative to obedience to God. This is the man against whom we all can measure ourselves when it comes to faith in and obedience to the Word of God. This spiritual giant’s name was Abraham–the “father of the faithful.” […]

In the previous two postings concerning life’s “race,” “walk” along the path leading to the Kingdom of God we find Him telling us through His prophets and apostles that, even though all church people are running and walking in the general direction of the kingdom, only the one who runs or walks according to His […]

Beginning with Adam, Eve and the Serpent in the Garden of Eden, failing to follow instructions to the letter has caused many serious problems. Following the Lord’s instructions requires the true God seeker to pay close attention to His Word, for Jesus tells us that “Man must LIVE (his life) by EVERY WORD that comes […]

“Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades” is an expression that deals with the question of how close is close enough? how close must one come to “right” in order to be declared “right.” In a spelling bee, how many letters must one get right in order to win the prize? The meaning of […]

Along with the five foolish virgins, the Scriptures tell us about another incidence of actual “falling from grace.” However, unlike the tragic outcome of the virgins’ apostasy, this story has a positive ending. The world knows the young man in this story as the “prodigal son.” We are not told how old this man was […]

Having raised the ire of a local false prophet, I soon learned that he was not alone, that by stating God’s Word publically I had offended another “minister of righteousness” (2 Cor. 11:15), a pastor of THE church who invited me to attend his church so that I could hear the REAL truth. I humbly […]

In part 1 of this series (and in over 800 other postings) I proved that the vast majority of self-professed “Christians” cannot fall from grace because they have never been in grace. Now let us look at grace falling from a different perspective. There is what I call a “reverse fall from grace.” In such […]
