By retaining comprehensive Godly focus we’re fruitful

Skilled Workman Posted on September 8, 2019 by David BergslandSeptember 8, 2019

Because His imminent return grows closer, retaining comprehensive Godly focus becomes even more important. In our Western civilization, the pressures to lose our sense of reality have become nearly overwhelming. You need to work on that. After 45+ years of walking with Jesus, I still need to work on it often. Reality?! What’s that? Here I may lose several of you. If you have not realized yet that scripture is literally true, you need to talk with … Continue reading →

Jesus attacked religious legalists – hard and often

Skilled Workman Posted on February 3, 2012 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

Jesus attacked religious legalists vigorously. He saw them as one of his main enemies. Today I want to talk about what Jesus said when he was invited to dinner one night. He was talking about his host and his friends. “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe…herbs, and pass by justice and the love of God. …Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like graves which are not seen, and the men who walk … Continue reading →

Learning to walk in freedom: Part 4 Galatians 2:15-21

Skilled Workman Posted on January 16, 2012 by David BergslandJanuary 16, 2012

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 →

In-pew missionaries to an apostate church are needed

Skilled Workman Posted on December 15, 2011 by David BergslandJune 12, 2020

In-pew missionaries to an apostate church are needed, but it’s a rough ministry. One of the huge changes in the church over the past four decades, beyond the exodus from the mainline denominations, through the me generations, is the growing fact of an apostate church. We are certainly not surprised—as Paul told us about this in II Thessalonians 2:3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes … Continue reading →

But Lord, Lord…Sorry! I never knew you

Skilled Workman Posted on November 18, 2011 by David BergslandNovember 25, 2021

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 →

Are you getting nervous? I’m excited

Skilled Workman Posted on October 26, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

For those of us who have been around long enough, this time is unusually chaotic. I read this in Dr. David Reagan’s article this morning. Everywhere we look, in every direction, the world appears to be falling apart. We are racked by wars and rumors of wars. Immorality and violence are rampant. Our money is being devalued and debased. Our educational systems have been hijacked by Humanists and Atheists. Our political systems are gridlocked by value wars and … Continue reading →

How ugly was Jesus ?

Skilled Workman Posted on June 26, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

How ugly was Jesus ? Of course I can say that! The Bible says it. When was the last time you considered it? Jesus was ugly or worse. Let’s look at the relevant scriptures. How ugly was Jesus ? Just as there were many who were appalled at him— his appearance was so disfigured beyond that of any human being and his form marred beyond human likeness— [Isaiah 52:14 NIV] Oh, but that was just on the … Continue reading →

Mental Masturbation or anointed teaching – beware

Skilled Workman Posted on April 29, 2011 by David BergslandMarch 23, 2020

Mental Masturbation or anointed teaching – beware as it matters a lot. If your teaching gets you off and does not change the students, you’ve messed up, big time. For it is written, “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the cleverness of the clever I will thwart.” Where is the wise man? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? For … Continue reading →

The Kingdom versus the world

Skilled Workman Posted on January 19, 2011 by David BergslandOctober 20, 2021

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 →
