In Ephesians 2:2 the Apostle Paul refers to Satan the devil (enemy) as “the prince of the powers of the air.”  The previous series highlighted the various works of those powers as his fallen angels tempt mankind and, when allowed to enter into them, wreak havoc in the life of their helpless, unwitting hosts.  Human […]

Iniquity–Lawlessness (sin)–separates man from God, leaving him without help in the face of Satan’s relentless temptations to rebel against God (Isa. 59:2).  Jesus of Nazareth was no exception.  Until the instant of His death, the devil and his minions were tempting Him to give in, to take the easy way out, to defy the Father’s […]

In the fifth chapter of his first letter to the church at Corinth the Apostle Paul gives believers a look into the why’s and how’s of mankind’s many and various problems which have continuously afflicted him throughout history.  In this passage he is warning the Corinthian Church about a situation within that body that has […]

Without law and proper enforcement of that law a nation, no matter how powerful and successful, will not survive.  The Scriptures tell us that “A nation divided against itself will fall” (Mat. 12:25).  This is brought out early on in Genesis 1:28 and 2:16,17  where we find God laying down His Law to Adam.  Man […]

In 1 Thessalonians 1:9 the Apostle Paul is congratulating the church at Thessalonica because, upon hearing the true Gospel of God, they had “turned TO God FROM idols to serve the living and true God.”  In this short statement Paul perfectly summarized the transition from churchianity (worship of idols) to Christianity (worship of God).  The […]

In the first and second chapters of the Book of Daniel we find that God has caused the House of Judah (the Jews) to be defeated by the nation of Babylon (Chaldea) and the survivors taken to the land of the victors as slaves.  Nebuchadnezzar, the Babylonian king, had ordered that several hand-picked Jews be […]

The Word came to earth as Jesus of Nazareth (Jn. 1:1-4,14) and brought with Him a New Covenant.  This covenant, featured the same Law as did the Old Covenant, minus the sacrificial and ritualistic “law that was added because of transgressions–sins” (Gal. 3:19).  Jesus did away with that law at the Last Supper (Lk. 22:19,20).  […]

The covenant God made with ancient Israel had a “fault.”  The fault involved the people with whom He made the covenant–they refused to obey His Law.  The first Law had His spiritual , moral Law written on two tablets of stone.  Obedience to that Law had to come from carnal flesh alone with no spiritual […]
