The Training Place of Mankind shows you wonders you won’t expect if you’ve never read a readable book on creationism. This is not a scholarly book. It’s designed to be a fun, exciting read. This one was great fun to write. In it I was able to share my excitement upon learning how directly involved the Lord is with us and the rest of His creation. Indeed, we’re coming up on a time where the earth will … Continue reading →
For me, the most important thing I’ve ever learned is that personal intimacy with Yeshua changes everything. Currently, most of the church ignores this simple fact. To my horror, even churches preaching the gospel about the blood and the cross, focusing on new converts and leading them to the Lord, often don’t mention this from the pulpit. All of their services are evangelistic. As far as I can tell, the pastors and teachers who know this don’t … Continue reading →
Finding sin freedom is rarely taught, and teaching about this is getting more scarce. Actually, the bondage of sin is rarely mentioned. So, no one knows that freedom from sin is even possible. Few know before they meet Jesus that this issue even exists. “Do you not know that we who were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? Therefore we were buried with Him by baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised … Continue reading →
Verse 5:13 My dear family, you were called to freedom; however, do not turn your freedom into an opportunity for the flesh, but through love serve one another. Here we start getting into the area that has caused so much confusion in the church for the past decades, centuries, and millennia. If we are free from the law, why do we bother to obey its precepts at all? Paul acknowledges that we are free, but we must … Continue reading →
As we continue our study of Galatians we come to the place where Paul is really upset with the people he taught. He calls them stupid which was much stronger than lack of intelligence. But let’s allow Paul to talk to us again. _____________________________________________ Chapter Three: Verse 3:1 You stupid Galatians! I told you exactly how Jesus was nailed to a cross as our Messiah. Who put an evil spell on you? [MVP] Foolish or stupid? The word … Continue reading →
Today we get into one of the core verses of scripture: Galatians 2:20 “I have been crucified with the Messiah. I no longer live, but He lives in me.” Until we understand this transaction, it is hard to move forward in our walk in the Kingdom. ______________________________ (Galatians 2 continues) Verses 2:15–16 We are Jews by birth and not sinners come out of the Gentiles. However, knowing that a person is not justified by the works of the … Continue reading →
I never knew you — this is an edited excerpt from a potential new book eventually called “The Narrow Gate”. What could be worse than hearing I never knew you from the Lord? It seems as if many will hear just that. Let’s look at a quote from Luke: Then one said to Him, “Lord, are there few who are saved?” And He said to them, “Strive to enter through the narrow gate, for many, I say … Continue reading →
I received this in an email from a friend today I strongly agree with his statement. As an American you are free to have your own religion. However, I am very tired of the humanist/atheist minority dictating our national religion. The separation of religion means that we should not have an official state religion and I’m afraid we have one. It’s humanism—the foolish belief that we can figure it out and fix our own problems. That’s absurd. … Continue reading →
The Kingdom versus the world is a radical difference. Jesus is Lord of the Kingdom. Scripture is clear that Satan rules the kosmos, the world system. Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be cast out [John 12:30] …you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience… [Ephesians 2:2] … Continue reading →
Eternal life is to know God and this definition was prayed by Jesus in his last priestly prayer of John 17. For those who have heard me teach Scripture, you understand how important I believe John 17:3 is: And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. John 17:3 New International Version (NIV) Eternal life is to know God The focus of this verse is the verb: … Continue reading →
