In the first few verses of the Book of Acts the writer (probably Luke) tells about how Jesus taught His apostles by word and example until He was taken up to the Father following His resurrection.  Then Luke writes: “after that (His resurrection) He (Jesus), THROUGH THE HOLY SPIRIT, commanded (taught) His apostles whom He […]

From the time of God’s founding of the United States of America as His modern day “light to the world” there has been a remnant of true believers who have served as a spiritual “dam” that, generation after generation, has maintained her Biblical standards while striving to keep at bay the ever-increasing tide of people […]

Anyone who knows the Biblical God understands that the United States and Britain comprise God’s “light to the Gentiles” (Isa. 49:6; 60:3).  These two nations, along with the Jews of the Middle East, comprise end-time Israel.  Read Who and Where is Israel Today?  Key word–Today.  All three have failed in their commission.  Because the United […]

In today’s world there are a number of communist nations run by dictators (Cuba, Russia, China, North Korea).  There is a democratic nation currently being run by secret communists–dictator “wannabe’s” (the United States of America).  A common truth recognized by those who are in charge of both types of nations is that in order to […]

What could obeying God be wrong?  Isn’t that what He commands?  Yes it is.  But like everything else in this life, there is a right way and a wrong way to obey Him.  It’s a matter of what I call “heartset.”  The Bible translators use the word “heart” where the word “mind” was the original […]

“We follow the science” has become the motto of those who are supposed to know what to do in difficult situations such as the COVID pandemic.  Listen to what God calls the type of science the world’s intelligencia religiously follow, swear by and unerringly serve: “science falsely so-called” (1 Tim. 6:20). The word “science” covers […]

As I have said and written many times, when it comes to things of the spirit, it all comes back to the Word.  Everything begins with, is carried through and ends with THE WORD OF GOD.  Without the Word in print we would know nothing about God, Christ, holiness, salvation, eternity, etc.  Jesus–“the Word” (Jn. […]

“Are we living in the last days?” is a question that is gaining in popularity as we watch the world in general and the United States in particular decay from within.  Even the unreligious are wondering what is going on when the truth accidentally slips out into the public domain.  The answer to the question […]

The subject of Christ’s statement in Matthew 5:6 is RIGHTEOUSNESS (aka holiness, godliness, purity, maturity, perfection).  Notice that He did not say that hungering and thirsting for righteousness automatically makes one righteous.  To the contrary, He said that hungering and thirsting would result in one being “FILLED WITH righteousness.”  Two key concepts are in play […]

When we become physically hungry and thirsty there is only one way to satisfy those naturally occurring needs–by eating and drinking.  When hungry and thirsty one will eat and drink whatever is available, even if one does not particularly like what is available.  “Any port in a storm” is the mariner’s motto when he finds […]
