As Christians, we enjoy knowing that our sins are forgiven. It is a peace we have with God that could only come through the cross of His Son, Jesus. Speaking about all who are saved by grace, through faith, the Lord said, “…they will all know Me, from the least of them to the greatest.… Read More »
Sing O Barren Woman
“Sing, O barren woman, you who never bore a child; burst into song, shout for joy, you who were never in labor; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,” says the Lord. Isaiah 54:1 Do you know what this means? This verse is foundational to understanding… Read More »
From One Law To Another
Through Christ Jesus, the law of the Spirit has set me free from the law of sin and death. Rom 8:2 Reading this verse plainly tells us that we went from one law to another. We left the law of sin and death to be under the Spirit’s law. Hebrews tells us: The Holy Spirit… Read More »
Every Knee Shall Bow
: “Therefore, God exalted Him to the highest place and gave Him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of the Father.” Phil 2:9-11… Read More »
The Difference
There is no room for works-righteousness in the Kingdom of God. Works-righteousness is the false idea that by our good works, we can establish righteousness before God. Those who try to do so will experience the wrath of God on Judgment Day. They acknowledged that God exists and that they must somehow be righteous before… Read More »

Our ONLY identity is in who we are as new creations in Christ. Within that identity is truth, and therefore, all the… Read More »
Children of Abraham pt. 3
This is my third bulletin article regarding the topic of “God’s chosen people” and where the nation of Israel really fits into that topic. I believe this to be very important, mostly because it is misleading to many Christians. Perhaps the biggest question you have is this: If the Jews really aren’t God’s chosen people—as… Read More »
Power Over Sin
During Bible study this week, I was given to say something that I never said before, and it bears repeating. It is possible, as you live by faith and abide in the Holy Spirit, to live a relatively sinless life. This has nothing to do with your human ability. It is the result of dependence… Read More »
A Yoke For Christians To Carry
When I think of the Law, I am overwhelmed. It is so many things. The law covered just about every imaginable aspect of daily living: What you could eat, what you could wear, when you could work, tattoos, skin rashes, sexual intimacy, sexual immorality, every aspect of farming, harvesting, sacrificing, celebrating, mourning, speech, intentional and… Read More »
Jesus’ Closing Remarks
There is a passage in the last chapter of the Bible that has always struck me as powerful truth. You know that Revelation is a long, mysterious vision given to the Apostle John. By the time we get to Revelation 22, John has just finished sharing the vision he saw. Then he receives what I… Read More »
