Truth MUST Be a Generational Thing

Truth MUST Be a Generational Thing The basis for our study begins in these two short paragraphs: Life and death are generational. Truth and untruth are generational. Sin is generational. Faith and forgiveness are generational. Mercy is generational (Luke 1:50). Justice and injustice are generational. Righteousness and lawlessness are generational.

Thy Word Is Truth

Thy Word Is Truth “Everyone that is of the truth, heareth my voice” (John 18:37). “But the natural man receives not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them because they are spiritually ‘dormant’” (1 Corinthians 2:14).

Trinity, The

THE DOCTRINE OF THE TRINITY is unique to Christianity. No other faith, no religion, no sect or philosophy advocating one God also proclaims that there are three who are God. This apparent paradox does not mean that there are “three gods in one,” but that one God exists as three distinct persons who are coequal, co-infinite, and co-eternal, all three…

Foreknowledge

Foreknowledge God is omniscient. God has always known everything there is to know—there isn’t anything He has not always known. God gave life (reality-creation) to time (history). He always knew. God ordained history which He always knew. God’s foreknowledge became, by His decree, reality. God is! We are. Time became “to be.” God is the “I Am—to be!” Therefore, by…

Lifestyle-Faith

Lifestyle-Faith In the corridors of darkness, we wrestle with our own inner sin-weaknesses, which attempt to control the mind by controlling the flesh.

The Subjection of Truth

The Subjection of Truth THINGS TO THINK ABOUT… MORALITY IS TRUE  Americans, in general, have lost their sense of objective moral truth. Frankly, so has most of the rest of the world Sentiment is not an excuse for compatibility with truth. Truth is not a relative thing. The compromise of truth negates objectivity.

Heavenly Messages from the Bible – Part Four: “It is Written”

“It is Written” As I meditated on the mysterious supernatural nature of the Word of God, I thought about the proclamations of our Lord, when He so often stated “It is written.” Wow!
