READ, LINGER, PROCESS… These days, it is culture that is raising children, not the childrens’ parents. Social media directs their path, conditioning their attitudes and belief systems to worldly from Godly. The problems of men and nations result from a corrupt human nature; turn back to God, world. The affirmation that mankind needs is not from the world, which…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The glorious fragrant aroma of the cross of His suffering, for us, will sustain us until eternity and for eternity. God measures humanity by His Son, Christ Jesus the Lord. The summing up of all things is in Christ, as seen in Ephesians 1:4-11. Our position in Christ is found in Ephesians 2:6. “(He) raised us…
The “I want nothing to do with organized religion” argument is based on the rules and corruption of human-created religion. This argument is valid. God Himself stands apart from organized religion. Religion is many things, and they all involve humans making life difficult for other humans by imposing man-made, empty ritual and excessive rules to infringe upon the free-will of…
Every human being on Earth needs to understand “the sin we’re in” and the resultant need for a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Every human being needs to understand that each of us sin, and our sin is an insult to the veracity (conformity to facts; accuracy; truthfulness) of God. Every human being needs to realize that they are…
THE BREATH OF GOD The Word of God was literally “breathed” into the writers of scripture by God the Holy Spirit. This breath is the same breath that God breathes into every human being at physical birth. His breath gives life to all creation, including His living Word – the Bible (The original Greek translated as living is literally alive)…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… We inhale pure air, but exhale poison. The breath of soul/spirit life is the same breath that made the heavens (Psalm 33:6) and laid the foundations of the world (Psalm 18:15). How can man trust in man (humanism) with his one breath capacity when man can breathe in God’s breath – the written Word of God?…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The solution against developing a love for the world is to develop a love for the Word – both the living Word (Yeshua/Jesus) and the written Word (Bible). The key to conquering love of the world is to love the Father, just as Jesus loved the Father. Victory over the flesh is by the Holy Spirit…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… I only have now to express all the wonderful thinking that my Lord gives me for meditation and expression, and so I write the things contained herein and everywhere I have written. Life beautiful, easy as music the words flow, and on we go… the Lord and I. The skill of the mind is revealed by…
The continuation of the universe and the earth all depend upon the omnipotence and immutability of Jesus Christ (Colossians 1:17, Hebrews 1:3). “Scientific laws” is a misnomer. They are “Divine laws.” Science can observe and classify. Only God can guarantee the continuation of these laws. The universe will not always exist as it does at the present (2 Peter 3:10-12,…
In Memory of My Mother Edna Jeanette Craig “A Tribute to Christian Mothers” A mother’s most beautiful wardrobe is the moral and spiritual character which clothe her soul. She gives herself, and her family is secure. She gives her strength, and her family is strong. She gives her love, and her family learns compassion. She honors her family, and they…
The following is a theological presentation of Biblical knowledge manifested in Scripture and developed here for thought processes of the individual reader as guided by the Holy Spirit; ponder and reflect upon them, one by one. Any extension of Scripture revelation is an infinite undertaking. There is progress in doctrinal knowledge, but there is no increase in Scripture-revelation, only our…
An invisible wall, insurmountable, that literally separates imperfect mankind from Perfect God. This barrier prevents man from having a relationship with God. Six bricks comprise this barrier: Humanity’s position in Adam. Sin. The penalty of sin. Physical birth. Man’s relative righteousness. The perfect Character of God. This barrier is removed solely by the atoning work of Jesus Christ on the…
Someone once wisely said: “I left the rituals of religion for a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.” Authentic Christianity is not a religion – religion is ritual without reality. Christianity is a personal relationship with the only living God, through faith in Christ Jesus (John 14:6; Acts 4:12). Read Christ’s harsh words of condemnation regarding religion and religious people for…
To begin our lesson, we will address one important question: How is it that we are ‘born sinful?’ Well, we are born as a duplicate of Adam as he was, spiritually, after the fall. We share his original sin and his sinful nature by genetic transmission, thus we share his spiritual death. Adam’s sin becomes our sin, his sin nature…
SCRIPTURE FOR MEDITATION Many topics and verses below are also viewable in various categories under Tree of Knowledge. There may be some variation from editing, but repetition is a good teacher. WOTM wishes to be as thorough as possible in the presentation of The Words of Truth. Therefore many topics are merged here below for edification and meditation. “FROM GENERATION…
INTRINSIC KNOWLEDGE “Because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes – His eternal power and divine nature – have been clearly seen, being understood through what has been made” (Romans 1:19b-20). “Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed…
(Based on Roman 8:28-32) Your understanding of salvation and the filling of the Holy Spirit comes by means of faith-perception – knowledge, understanding, acceptance, belief. Faith-perception (meditation and recall of doctrine) makes the power of the Holy Spirit, and the spiritual life of the believer, a reality in our thinking. Reality is not what we feel, not what we assume,…
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…
