If you have not read “My People Who Are Called By My Name” and Who Are God’s People? (key words–Called and People respectively), I suggest that you do so in conjunction with this series. I cannot stress enough the need for salvation seekers to know about, believe and walk THE LORD’S ONE AND ONLY WAY […]

In Second Chronicles 7:1-14 we find an interesting, and eye-opening lesson which all who profess their allegiance to the Lord must learn and learn from. In the first 12 verses the writer records the time when King Solomon, having built the most incredible structure ever on earth–the Temple of the Lord in Jerusalem–prayed. Immediately fire […]

Not only has the command to test the spirits of those who lead us (First John 4:1) been totally neglected by the religious community, it is a most deadly sin. I spend hours each day on the internet, most of them working on these postings. I do however, spend some time looking for indications of […]

In Exodus 19 the Word (God of the Old Testament–Jesus–Jn. 1:1-4,14) was speaking to Moses concerning the 12 tribes of Israel. Read verses 5-8. Notice in verse 5 the word “then” which separated what God commanded them to do and what He would do as a result of their obedience to His commands. Then note […]

In the previous postings we learned about the will of God for man (Heb.–Adam). Man was His most prized creation whom He formed into His own image and His own likeness. His will was for mankind to have a good, prosperous, happy, safe, peaceful, productive life which was to last forever in the paradise known […]

In part one of this series we learned that it is God’s will for man to be happy, successful, at peace, etc. in this life. Deuteronomy 28:1-14 and Leviticus 16:1-3 tell us that this is His will for all of mankind. This has been His plan for mankind from the creation of Adam (Heb.–man) until […]

Several years ago I received a notice in the mail that I had won $400.00 to be given to me by a business in Dallas, Texas, about 100 miles from where I live. The notice stated that “Your name is already on the money” and that it was at a particular location and was “waiting […]

In the first posting on this subject we learned that, because 1) God is a spirit, 2) spirits cannot die, therefore the Word had to become a human being in order to die for the sins of human beings. In this posting we will examine the second part of the answer to the question found […]

In John 1:1-4,14 the apostle, writing under the power of the Holy Spirit (2 Pet. 1:21), states that “Holy men of old spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.” Then either the prophets themselves or their scribes (recorders) wrote what they had said. Later, during New Testament times, the apostles wrote what Jesus […]

Jesus Christ admitted that He could do nothing on His own power (Jn. 8:28). That being the case, all of us need to follow His example and humbly admit that, in and of ourselves, we can do nothing correctly using our own leadership and power. After asking God for understanding and the humility to embrace […]
