In Matthew 12:46-49 Jesus made a statement that must be understood in order to identify those who comprise the Body of Christ and those who do not. The reader will note that what one feels or thinks, what religious things one has done, etc. plays no part in identifying true saints. In this instance Jesus […]

Over the years much has been written and spoken about the Kingdom of God, most of which is not Scriptural. Man has described the kingdom in a variety of ways: the love of God in the heart of man; each of the sects comprising the Institutional Church; the whole of professing Christendom; an ethereal essence […]

By far the most deadly of Satan’s deceptions is to deceive God seekers relative to the conviction>introduction>conversion> salvation process. What man refers to as the “salvation experience” is in reality the seeker’s introduction to God following conviction of sin. God’s introduction of man to Himself is mistaken for conversion. Conversion is then mistaken for salvation. […]

The prefix “anti” means against. Satan is the ultimate power operating against Christ and the Father. As is the case with both Father and Son, Satan is in only one location at a time. Therefore he must have a means by which he can influence the world’s masses. Just as Father and Son are everywhere […]

The surest sign that one is truly a child of God is persecution brought on by one’s belief in and obedience to the Word of God. In John 14:33 Jesus told those who follow Him that in this life they WILL have tribulation. He warns us that through MUCH tribulation we will enter the Kingdom […]

The “Christmas season” soon to be upon us, I will at this time expose the holiday for what it is–a heathen celebration of the sun god which people throughout history have worshiped in one form or another. Though the name of their god differed depending on the group, all heathen gods are in reality the […]

Now that we have established that the Word that became Jesus of Nazareth was the God of the Old Testament, let us deter- mine through application of God’s method of Biblical study (Isa. 28:10,13) exactly what part the Old Testament plays in the life of the New Testament saint. Perhaps the best place to start […]

Testament=a document that chronicles what one has done, is doing and will do. Covenant=a two-party agreement detailing the expectations placed on the parties involved. In that the Bible is both a testament and a covenant relative to God and His people, I use the two terms interchangeably. Church people have been taught for some 1800 […]

For many, Satan is  a figment of demented imaginations. But for Bible believers, he is very real. In this posting I will relate an example of the power he uses to persuade and deceive even the most religious within professing Christendom. The episode took place during the 1970’s. A friend (Perry) with whom I often […]

God prophesied that in the last days MANY would come IN HIS NAME professing that HE IS THE LORD and would DECEIVE MANY. Recently, some movie stars, athletes, musicians, etc. have publicly declared that they are “Christians.” These “saved” people push so-called “Christian” themes such as Christmas, Easter, etc. Though many in the church know […]
