The Holy Bible’s so-called Old Testament was written to, for and about God’s Chosen People–Ancient Israel.  The so-called New Testament was written to, for and about God’s Chosen People–modern Israel–His church–“the Israel of God” (Gal. 6:16).  Biblically, there should be no break between the two Testaments in that, many years later, Matthew picks up where […]

Question: when is a “problem” not really a problem?  Answer: when it is a test from God to see of a believer will follow Him when things go “wrong” or possibly “right.”  According to Biblical examples, what might seem to be a “problem” to a believer, might be the Almighty’s way of “proving” him–or the […]

A close examination of Leviticus 26 and Deuteronomy 28 prove to the true believer that mankind’s problems are spiritual in both origin and continuation, meaning that, in most cases, they are caused by and perpetuated by sin.  The only exception to this Biblical Law involves God’s testing of His people which we will look into […]

In Matthew 10:5-8 we find Jesus preparing His disciples to minister in His name and in the power of the Holy Spirit.  It is illuminating to note exactly what He told them to do because 99.99% of the modern preachers fail to do even one of those things.  He told them to go to the […]

In the Old Testament we are told that the most magnificent angel God ever created was Lucifer, meaning “son of the morning.”  God placed him in charge of the most beautiful planet in the universe–earth.  He then assigned one-third of His angels to assist Lucifer in caring for the earth.  Then, at some point in […]

When asked to define “life,” one of my teaching associates of years past replied, “Life is just one d–n thing after another.”  A famous actress, when deciding on a title for the book she was writing about herself, settled on It’s Always Something, meaning that something was always going wrong in her life.  She died […]

For years prior to the beginning of World War II Communism had been slowly, quietly “adopting” parts of Asia with its eye on Europe.  During the war the Soviet Union played a vital part in defeating Germany, thereby saving the Western world from the ravages of Nazism.  During the war the Soviets, along with other […]

The Almighty created man with certain needs which must be met if he is to live happily, as the Lord meant for him to live.  Everything our first parents needed for their spiritual, physical and material life was provided in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 2:16,17).  But something happened.  They lost it all by way […]

When the Biblical God is pushed out of an individual, group or nation’s life, Satan steps in to fill the vacuum created by the Lord’s exit.  When the devil enters into one’s life and assumes control of it he is rarely recognized for who he is or what he is there to do.  He arrives […]

From early on in life we are told that “Nature hates a vacuum and demands that it be filled.”  Which is true.  When a vacuum is created in the natural world it is immediately filled when that which maintains the vacuum is removed.  For example, in a science laboratory, when a test tube has all […]
