In Matthew 24:4,5 and Second Thessalonians 2:11 we have what appears to be a contradiction relative to God’s Word. In the Matthew passage we find Jesus warning salvation seekers about MEN who would deceive them concerning the Christian walk and God’s will. Then in the Thessalonian passage we find the Apostle Paul, speaking by the […]

Let it be known that many of the things God does, Satan does also, and make people believe that God is doing it. Remember Christ’s warning in John’s Gospel chapter 10 about false shepherds in the church who do not come in through the gate, but “climb up over the sheepfold (church) wall” and capture […]

In Isaiah 58 the Almighty is speaking to backslidden Judah (the Jews), telling them that, though they are extremely religious and are doing WHAT He has told them to do, they are in deep trouble with Him because they are not doing it HOW He has told them to do it. As a result, He […]

In First Peter 1:3,4 the apostle makes a statement that is deliberately overlooked when the subject of eternal life comes up among church people. Why? Because he uses the word “hope” relative to salvation. This is tantamount to blasphemy within the religious community where the Bible supposedly proclaims that once the prescribed ritual has been […]

“You have the Words of eternal life?” Those seven words reveal the spiritual depth of the disciple known as Peter the fisherman. With those immortal Words he summarized the eternal role of the man called Jesus the carpenter (Jn. 6:68). Though Peter (Petra–small pebble) would occasionally allow his emotions to override his knowledge, once he […]

Individuals have for thousands of years fought for, risked their lives for and millions have died for freedom. The same is true for races and nations. In two cases, much of the world’s population fought the rest of her population for freedom. At the same time many, while yearning for more freedom, have rejected and […]

Very few people are spiritual, meaning that the things of the spirit are first and foremost in their lives.  More people are religious, meaning that religion (the church) plays an important role in their lives.  Almost everyone is political, meaning that the majority of people who are eligible to vote do so.  The average citizen […]

In the first two postings we learned what God said through the Apostle John concerning “walking as Jesus walked,” in other words, making Him the Lord of our entire lives. John knew that in order to please the Father one has to live (“walk”) as Jesus lived in total obedience to His Father in order […]

“Will you take Jesus as your Savior?” is a common question asked by those attempting to get someone saved. That is the wrong question. Jesus is either our LORD (MASTER) or He is our nothing. As the series titled Hope and Salvation proves (key word–Hope), if He is not our Lord in this life’s walk, […]
