In Jeremiah 36:4 we find the prophet, following the Lord’s command, telling his scribe, Baruch, to record “all the words of the Lord which He has spoken to him” (Jeremiah).  He was to write them on a scroll.  We are not told at this point what Baruch was to write, but we know that the […]

It has been burned, buried, ripped apart, cursed, twisted, interpreted and vilified like no other book, but in spite of Satan’s efforts, God’s Holy Scriptures live on.  Satan has done everything he is capable of doing to destroy it, even nailing it to a cross in the form of the Word Himself (Jn. 1:1-4,14).  The […]

God seekers must understand the lesson presented in Revelation 7:13,14: “And one of the elders said to me, ‘Who are these who are arrayed in white robes? and from where do they come?’  I said to him, ‘Sir, you know.’  And he said to me, ‘These are they who have come out of the Great […]

The “great multitude” of Revelation 7:9 will be wearing white robes and holding palm branches.  Their being dressed in white robes indicates that their sins will have been forgiven, meaning that they will have heard the Gospel of God and will have repented of their Bible-defined sins.  Church-defined sins are totally different from Bible-defined sins […]

In Revelation 7:9 we are told about a “great multitude” that will be so large that a person will not be able to number them.  Four questions relative to this gathering will be answered in this series: 1) who are these people?  2) why are they gathered together in one location?  3) where is that […]

SIN IS IDOLATRY.  The original sin took place when Lucifer (“light bringer”) looked upon the incredible universe God had created and wanted to possess it.  To do so he would have to replace its Creator.  God had created the earth and had turned it over to Lucifer to care for it.  But Lucifer was not […]

In Matthew 16:23 Jesus tells the world exactly how Satan gets inside the heart of man and stays there.  In the majority of cases, Satan’s fulfills his (Satan’s) will from within man’s Mission Control Center–his mind.  Satan accomplishes this task simply by giving man what he wants.  Man wants total control of everything about his […]

Trace any personal sin, regardless of its design, back to its origin and one will always find the same source–IDOLATRY.  The word “idolatry” comes from the root word: “idol.”  An idol is a physical or mental image of an actual entity.  Within the unchurched world that image (idol) is man himself–man deciding what man wants […]

In the physical arena a “gate” (gateway) is an entity through which one moves from one geographical location into another geographical location.  The same concept applies in the social arena.  A good example is when a college degree serves as a gate(way) that opens to the graduate the opportunity for a better life.  In this […]

In Romans 7:14 the Apostle Paul tells us that “the Law is spiritual.”  Spiritual things and spirit beings cannot be destroyed, nor can they die.  For this reason Satan and his devils (demons), which are spirits, will be cast into the Lake of fire where they will burn forever (Mat. 25:41).  Sinners will also be […]
