Except the book of John, chapter 1 specifically, and the book of Hebrews chapters 1-3, nowhere in all of Scripture is the uniqueness of the Glory and Divinity of the person of Christ so compactly presented. Open your Study Bible to the first chapter of Hebrews. Notice the first word in Hebrews chapter one is “God.” The writer chose to…
“I Am that I Am” Jehovah Elohim (Lord God) emphatically declared His Deity and authority when he proclaimed “I am that I am” (Exodus 3:14). Then Messiah (Jesus the Christ, the Son of God), in the Gospel of John and in Revelation, declared the same essence of Deity. “I AM the Bread of Life” (John 6:35). “I AM the Light…
Arrogance of the Species We humans sin because we can. We sin because we have the knowledge of good and evil. We sin because we have volition (freedom to choose). We sin because we have the Adamic (Adam’s) Nature – the sin nature; the “old man” of Ephesians 4:22; the “flesh” of Romans 8:3,4; the principle of “sin” of Romans…
Satan is the enemy of nationalism. Satan offers internationalism in its place in an effort to establish his own utopian kingdom on earth. Satan’s intent is a universal state which he can control and sit on the throne as God without God’s interference. How arrogant is that? Internationalism opens the door to a world dictator – the anti-Christ. The first…
Socialism is the human attempt to provide a utopian economy with political, social, and environmental “perfection.” But only Jesus Christ will accomplish a perfect environment at His Second Coming.

The Indwelling of the Spirit transforms the believer’s body into…

Socialism is a human philosophy designed to gain power for a few “enlightened elite” based upon class warfare, jealousy, envy, greed, laziness – by monetary seduction, and equality/equity. Remedies for equality simply create more inequalities. Socialistic ideology advocates equal results at the…
Communion is the worship ceremony in which the believer concentrates on the person and saving sacrifice of Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 11:23-26). Christ commanded “This do in remembrance of Me“ (1 Corinthians 11:24b). The believer is required to be filled with the Holy Spirit so that he/she is in fellowship which is achieved by confession (1 John 1:9), before partaking…
Always remember that all battles are the Lord’s. At the Second Advent (Christ’s return), Jesus Christ will destroy the forces of satan. God Himself will save His chosen people from total annihilation.
