“The Scripture cannot mean more to you than it did to the original audience and original author.” “To apply things written thousands of years ago to our own culture will only lead to error in interpretation.” (various teachers) This is one of the latest attempts to undermine the authority of the Scripture. Even on theContinueContinue reading “Is the Bible Still Relevant?”

After some kind of tragedy or natural disaster, we often hear Christians remarking that God allowed this to happen for some greater purpose. Such a concept suggests that God is in fact responsible for the tragedy. If He allowed it, He must have been in agreement with it. Can this be true? When a parentContinueContinue reading “What does God allow?”

How often have we felt under resourced, out of energy, lacking in talent and with nothing left to give? The truth is that those feelings represent our flesh and natural thinking, not our spirit man. If we could only learn to live in the Spirit and from our re-created spirits, we would see that theContinueContinue reading “It is free and there is more!”

One of the most remarkable aspects of God’s creation of man is that He made man in His own image. We are of the God kind. God’s will gave us a will. Without a will we would not be made in His image. For it is God which worketh in you both to will andContinueContinue reading “What will you will?”

There is something about water that attracts us. The beauty of large bodies of still water, the sound of rushing water in a creek or brook, or the mesmerizing sight of the ocean’s waves as they run to the shore cause most of us to stop, gaze, listen and ponder. Water is fundamental to lifeContinueContinue reading “Are you Thirsty?”

Get on the right side of the cross! Until we fully understand the “new creation,” we will miss out on the riches of righteousness by faith, and our inheritance in Christ. I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me. (Philippians 4:13) God has not given me the spirit of fear; but of power,ContinueContinue reading “Which side of the cross are you living on?”

Every human need is met in God’s love. Redemption is an act of His love. The new creation is an act of His love. Healing is an act of Love. Our authority over the enemy is an act of Love. Grace for every need is His love. The Truth that sets us free is Love.ContinueContinue reading “The Power Of Love”

It seems painfully obvious that there is an epidemic of mental distress in our society. The pressures of the world can overwhelm the senses and captivate the thought life. Can we expect mental health in the world in which we live? How can we define mental health? Perfect peace comes to mind. Peace is definedContinueContinue reading “Mental Health”

”strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power” (Col. 1:11) In Colossians 1:9-11, Paul prays for the Colossian believers and desires at one point that they be ‘strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power.’ When you look at some of these words in the Greek, it really is amazing what Paul wasContinueContinue reading “Better than Vitamins”

I like the following passage because it is so rich with descriptive language and liberating truth. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing ofContinueContinue reading “This is Solid Truth”
