When we lack revelation and don’t understand God’s purpose in any given area of life, imitation often replaces revelation. Much of what we do in life is often an imitation of others because we lack our own revelation of God’s purposes. What is God’s purpose for marriage? church? child rearing? the gifts of the Spirit?ContinueContinue reading “Revelation or Imitation?”

Why Should We Meditate On God’s Word?
(From Psalm 119) Revive me according to Your word. Strengthen me according to Your word. Your word has given me life. Be merciful to me according to Your word. Forever, O Lord, Your word is settled in heaven. Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path. The entrance ofContinueContinue reading “Why Should We Meditate On God’s Word?”
Healing Is A Harvest
The Word of God is incorruptible seed which when received into the heart of man produces according to its kind. “When you received the word of God which you heard from us, you welcomed it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which also effectively worksContinueContinue reading “Healing Is A Harvest”
Did God Allow It?
The predominant theology of Christians today when faced with life changing circumstances is that “God allowed it.” After all, “God is in control” and “in everything there is a purpose.” Sadly, none of this is accurate and has left the Body of Christ paralyzed, misrepresenting God to others, and cooperating with the work of theContinueContinue reading “Did God Allow It?”
Which Covenant are You Living In?
Looking to the Old Testament Law of blessings and curses as a guide for the New Covenant church is like trying to drive through Florida with a map of Colorado. It just won’t work. Its not that there isn’t a Colorado and its not that the map of Colorado is in error, it is justContinueContinue reading “Which Covenant are You Living In?”
God and Plagues
It is apparent that many who claim to be Christians do not have the slightest understanding of the gospel and the New Covenant. This can be seen by the rush to picture God as the source of plagues, viruses and other calamities for the sake of bringing people to repentance. The revelation of Jesus isContinueContinue reading “God and Plagues”
Sovereign?
If the phrase “God is sovereign” means that He determines and controls all things, then there is no reward for wisdom and no penalty for ignorance. There is no promise for faith and no harm in fear. There is no blessing in following the Spirit and no corruption in indulging the flesh. There is noContinueContinue reading “Sovereign?”
Are There Storms in Your Life?
God has equipped us to live victoriously in this life no matter what may come our way. We determine our level of success or failure. We see this in the parable of the two men, the two houses and the two foundations (Matt. 7:24-27). One man was a hearer but not a doer of theContinueContinue reading “Are There Storms in Your Life?”
The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.
Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months. And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth produced its fruit. (James 5:16-18) Elijah had been instructed by theContinueContinue reading “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”
Why is the earth suffering?
The earth is also defiled under its inhabitants, because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant. (Isa 24:5) Our society is crumbling because of the rampant violation of God’s spiritual laws and ordinances, and the rejection of His covenant. When godless people embrace abortion, homosexual marriage, gender confusion, and lookContinueContinue reading “Why is the earth suffering?”
