The nature of God’s love for us is astounding. In this life, we will never fully understand it. But, rest assured, we were born again so that one Day He can bring us into the fullness of His Presence to be overcome by love and know Him for all eternity. Jesus said, “I tell you… 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 »
Prayer In Spirit And Truth
On our side of the cross—the resurrection side—I have always thought that there is no method to prayer. Jesus said that a day was coming when God’s people would worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. That day is today, and prayer is a Spirit-led endeavor because He lives in us. I have found, however,… Read More »
Pray Continually
People say that the shortest verse in the Bible is John 11:35: Jesus wept. But I think there is a tie. 1 Thes 5:17 says, Pray continually. Both verses, with just two words each, are profound. We would not expect the King of kings, and Creator of the universe to cry. Paul wrote, “All things… Read More »
Children of Abraham pt.2
: Did you read last week’s bulletin? If not, or if you don’t recall what I wrote, you should read that first, then come back to this one as a continuation of the same topic. Last week we read, “It is not as though God’s word had failed. For not all who are descended from… Read More »
The Holy Spirit Speaks
Two years ago, I started keeping a journal. In my life, I have never wanted to have one, never took the time to write in one, and frankly, thought they were useless. I knew I did not care to read about what I was thinking or doing at a younger age. But now I write… Read More »
The Sabbath Rest
It has been a long time since I last spoke about the Sabbath-rest in a sermon, or wrote about it in a bulletin article. It is mentioned many times in the Bible, most of them in the Old Testament. As you know, the Israelites had to rest on the Sabbath in obedience to the law.… Read More »
Glory Through The Spirit
Recently, I preached the sermon series, “Glorify Yourself in Me.” It has meant a lot to many people, both within our church and online. I have been amazed and blessed by these sermons as well. The essence of the sermons was based upon the truth that there are degrees of glory in heaven, given to… Read More »
Maturity In Christ
“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” 2 Corinthians 5:17 I refer to this verse often when I speak of the Christian life. Without the understanding of this verse’s meaning, no one can reach maturity in Christ. It is as simple as that. Who… Read More »
The Way Of Life
Somehow, we must discover the “secret” to living the Christian life. We have seen it; a line has been drawn in the sand, marking the difference between normal human life and the Christian life. On one side of the line is Old Testament Israel—never believing, always struggling with God. On the other side are the… Read More »
