The saying ‘it is finished’ appears twice in the New Testament. The first appearance is the declaration of Jesus referring to the fulfillment of the Law, the destruction of the power of sin, sickness and the power of the devil, and the opening of the door for God to live in men. When Jesus thereforeContinue reading "Which ‘it is finished’ do you prefer?"
Healing in Redemption
Our redemption was accomplished two thousand years ago and all of the benefits of that redemption became available at that time for all who believe.

Is the Bible God’s Word?
There is a growing movement in some Christian circles to establish the Bible as fallible and only an imperfect guide to knowing God and Jesus. The reasons are clear. The Bible gets in the way of the Jesus or Father they have imagined. Nevertheless, Jesus had complete confidence and faith in the Old Testament andContinue reading "Is the Bible God’s Word?"
The Man Born Blind
I am frequently asked about the story in John, chapter 9, concerning Jesus’ response to the man born blind. Now as Jesus passed by, He saw a man who was blind from birth. And His disciples asked Him, saying, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?" Jesus answered, "NeitherContinue reading "The Man Born Blind"

In Due Season
And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. (Gal. 6:9) The spiritual law of sowing and reaping fills the Scriptures.

Can We trust God’s Word?
Have you ever stopped to imagine how this world came into existence? “By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.” (Heb. 11:3) God used the substance of things that are not visible to theContinue reading "Can We trust God’s Word?"
