In the Book of Genesis we find Adam and Eve’s two sons, Cain and Abel, bringing their respective offerings to the Lord. We are not told how many times they had brought offerings to Him previously, or how many times they had obeyed His commands to do other things. We can assume that before this […]
Society-Church Connection (cont. 1)
SEE NO EVIL–The U.S. Congress passed a Law (Obamacare) without knowing what was in it, a fact Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, proudly announced to the world. Over the past several years world leaders have voiced concern about the mental state of U.S. leaders. Pelosi’s admission assured them that they were […]
The Society-Church Connection
Being a student of both God’s Word and human nature, I have noticed that the American society is continually evolving to reflect the evolution of Institutional Church. Through careful observation I have found that there is a definite “monkey see; monkey do” connection between the two seemingly different entities. The society mirrors the church to […]
National Victimization
Satan’s power over the minds of a population is nowhere more evident than America’s obsession with finger-pointing–we have become a nation of victims. In modern America no one is responsible for his/her actions; the finger never points inward, but rather outward; someone or something else is always to blame for the mess in which he/she […]
John 3:16
The most oft-quoted, memorized, believed, preached about and sung about passage found in the Bible is John 3:16,17: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn […]
Hell (cont. 2)
As was explained in the posting on the three resurrections, those who take part in the Lord’s Second advent–both dead and living “in Him”–will be resurrected at that time, rise to meet Him in the air and will remain with Him forever (1 Thes. 4:16,17). Following the mid-air gathering, He and they will descend to […]
Hell (cont. 1)
In many New Testament passages the word “hell” refers to gehenna, but not in every instance. One must understand exactly what the word rendered “hell” by the translators meant in each case in order to know exactly what the writer is saying. As is always the case when dealing with God’s Truth, exactness is important. […]
Hell
The word brings bemusement from one segment of the world’s population, fear from another. Often used as a verbal weapon, people have been told to go there. Others are warned that they were going to end up there if their life-style does not drastically change. Sinners are often told that it is a place they […]
Normalcy Bias (cont. 2)
The “normalcy bias” is exactly what it says it is–a preference, sometimes a passion, to have things remain the same. Because He was a man, Jesus undoubtedly yearned for things to remain the same following His entrance into the ministry to which His Father had called Him. One day He was just Jesus the son […]
Normalcy Bias (cont. 1)
GOD IS DIFFERENT–a statement which no one in professing Christendom would deny. But He is different in a way that extremely few church members realize. If His Word can be believed, His attitude is the exact opposite of man’s when it comes to relationships among those who call themselves by His name. Place 1000 professing […]
