We must be who we are

Skilled Workman Posted on October 13, 2024 by David BergslandOctober 13, 2024

We must be who we are in the midst of the assault. The barrage of lies tempts us, with its confusion, to give up and let someone else do the deed. Our focus must be on Truth. Truth is a person, the one who we accept as the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. Yeshua Messiah is Truth. He defined it when He created everything in this 3D universe. Jesus defined truth, beauty, love, holiness, … Continue reading →

Reckon yourself dead

Skilled Workman Posted on September 18, 2024 by David BergslandSeptember 18, 2024

Reckon yourself dead was one of the first things I learned when I met Jesus in 1974. It was the core of my Dad’s teaching, at the time. He was my full-time mentor for the first year and a half as the Lord began my transformation from drug-crazed hippy. It was a major part of my foundation: Jesus did it all, I was dead, the Lord had a plan, I could trust Him.  The death was the … Continue reading →

Evangelism or discipleship we need both

Skilled Workman Posted on August 4, 2024 by David BergslandAugust 28, 2024

Evangelism or discipleship we need both and it’s a real problem. The Lord has been working on me for the past five years. He has me attached to an aggressive special forces evangelistic church. I’ve had a hard time with it. Because they have a clear call and they are anointed in that direction. But I come from the discipleship camp. My current church does not do any discipleship, as I understand it. It’s been interesting to … Continue reading →

Laying the foundation for a new life

Skilled Workman Posted on August 3, 2024 by David BergslandAugust 28, 2024

Laying the foundation for helping the religious into Life is necessary. At this point in the Church Age we’ve come to the place where the normal believer’s life has nearly disappeared. It’s hard to ignore the huge numbers of religious people who have not fulfilled the basic necessities of salvation. I call them churchians, as opposed to Christians, let alone believers. Before we can talk about what a normal believer is, we must lay a solid and … Continue reading →

No nation will survive

Skilled Workman Posted on July 24, 2024 by David BergslandJuly 24, 2024

No nation will survive the times which are upon us. Even Israel must be radically changed. I know: you had no idea. I’m not surprised. If you take the challenge, you need to come to grips with the progression upward from catholic to protestant to evangelical to pentecostal to believers. Believers is where we are now. I do not care about denominations at all. What you need to face is that each step added some powerful doctrines … Continue reading →

The Age of Reason started it

Skilled Workman Posted on April 8, 2024 by David BergslandApril 8, 2024

The Age of Reason started it. Started what? The Great Falling Away, of course. The beginning was well hidden by civilization. The plan is the complete rejection of God and Truth. It’s so outrageous that a small beginning was required. But once you think about it at all, nothing less will do for the Lawless One. In the seventeen hundreds, these concepts had already been stirring around throughout the Western world for quite a while—beginning in the … Continue reading →

The doctrinal warfare ends for good

Skilled Workman Posted on July 18, 2023 by David BergslandJuly 27, 2023

The doctrinal warfare ends for good. Good riddance, that is. It was necessary for a while. But now it increasingly inhibits the believer’s life. How can I possibly say that? Because it has changed from a necessity to a blockage. The doctrinal warfare ends for good, no longer needed Churchians cannot even imagine the freedom of following the Lord more directly. Doctrines brought the church into feudalism. Armed fortresses with doctrines forming the outer defensive walls. The … Continue reading →

Doing what Jesus said today

Skilled Workman Posted on February 12, 2023 by David BergslandFebruary 12, 2023

Doing what Jesus said today is the call for every day. But there should be a comma after said. Because you need to be basing your daily living on what Jesus has said — to you personally. The Bible can help you discern this. But what terrifies the institutional church, only you [by the power of the Holy Spirit] can know what Yeshua has told you. Your task is to cough up the faith to act on … Continue reading →

Yes, study last days prophecy

Skilled Workman Posted on January 5, 2022 by David BergslandJanuary 5, 2022

Yes, study last days prophecy as if your life depended on it—because it does. Because, all prophecy teaching is speculating. I know my teachings on the subject are impeccably researched, prayed over intensely, and convince me of their accuracy. But that is true for all who teach these things. The Lord told me in the late 1990s that no one has it figured out. There’s a reason why no two prophecy teachers agree completely. Because God’s ways … Continue reading →

Araldo is a headline font with spunk

Skilled Workman Posted on December 7, 2021 by David BergslandDecember 11, 2021

Araldo is a headline font with spunk for today. I needed something with a little life for my new book production group: Biblia Serif, Dreatha, and now Araldo. This new font family is doing well for me. Biblia Serif and Draetha are both excellent book production font families. In other words, they are not memorable. In fact, if they do their job well, you don’t even notice them. But as I mention in the flyer to the … Continue reading →
