That the Apostle Paul was God’s premier New Covenant writer is obvious. What made Paul unique was that he received his Gospel directly from Jesus Christ by revelation through the Holy Spirit (Gal. 1:12). As Paul said, he did not receive his Gospel from men, but rather from the Lord Himself. The man Jesus, being […]

In His “Sermon on the Mount” (beginning with Matthew 5:1) Jesus is speaking to His disciples while the multitude that has followed Him into the countryside listens in. He commands them (and us) to seek first of all the Kingdom of God AND His righteousness” (6:33). The Word “and” indicates that what we are to […]

Before finishing chapter six of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church at Rome, let us be reminded of his statement in 7:1: “The Law has dominion over a man as long as he lives.” By way of confession (again) I once destroyed a Bible, ripped much of it to shreds and threw it into […]

The significance of God’s grace in the life of the true saint is superbly described in the sixth chapter of the Apostle Paul’s letter to the church at Rome. The entire chapter is dedicated to the subject of grace as it relates to sin among church people. In my series titled The Message of the […]

As Jude 4 tells us, false Christians have turned God’s grace into a license to sin. Jude tells us that the wages of sin is eternal death. However, church people proclaim that for them, the wages of their sins is eternal life. Someone is dead wrong. God says it’s the church; the church says it’s […]

Because of God’s grace mankind is given the opportunity to spend eternity on earth where God, Christ and Their Very Elect will rule the earth initially for 1000 years, then the entire universe forever from New Jerusalem which will be located in what is now called the Holy (Promised) Land. Read The Kingdom of God. […]

The word “works” is mentioned approximately 240 times in the Holy Scriptures, most of those instances are found in the New Testament. Twenty-four times Jesus Himself spoke one of the most hated words found in the Bible. “WORKS” is among the two most despised words the Lord ever placed in print. The other word at […]

God to the rescue–again. For several days I had been seeking divine guidance relative to the next subject I should write about. Two days passed. I began a posting and had to give it up for the lack of a spiritual “witness” that tells me when I am on the right track. Then last evening […]
