Webmaster’s Note: A deeper understanding of both God and the Living Word comes not only from accurate Bible study materials and proper instruction, but also from you. When you take your time, meditate upon key points, and look up given verses for yourself, in your very own Bible, your walk with the Lord takes on a whole new meaning. We…
“Jesus Christ bore our sins (yours personally) in His body on the cross” (1 Peter 2:24a). “For Christ has once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but (made alive) by the spirit” (Peter 3:18). Christ died for you. He died in your place to…
If you do not believe in Eternal Security, you are legalizing the Grace of God and that… is “illegal.” Just as you cannot work for salvation, you cannot work to keep yourself saved (Ephesians 2:8-9, Romans Chapter 8; Romans 11:5-6,33,36). God saved us through Christ and God keeps us saved through the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:35-39). Notice I said God…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… My emotional need for poetry, epic and tragedy, fill me with hypnotic charm and dazzling life that may somehow have existed in a world closer to whom we really are… there we believe. Tales of enchantment offer escape without drugs. Perhaps if and when people learn to take the time to appreciate folklore in every culture,…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… There is no such thing as a complete failure because failure is never complete. We are all complete sinners, completely helpless and completely hopeless. In Christ we are completely justified, completely forgiven, completely righteous and I am eternally grateful. It is interesting that fire somehow consumes itself and must find new victims or die. If sin…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… It is early morning; the moon still rules the sky. I woke not in Heaven, so I must write… The waters of oceans and lakes have many faces, ones that wink at the observant eye. On moonlit nights, black phantoms seem to dance with white and silver diamonds. The sun, not to be outdone, stirs the…
WORDS OF STONE Where do we find happiness or peace of mind? Is the answer in alcohol and wine? Is it just out of reach ? Is it at the beach? Where do we find happiness or peace of mind? Is the answer in fortune we all seek to find ? Is it with some little honey? Is it really…

READ, LINGER, PROCESS… God, who created life in us, can certainly be trusted with the details of our lives. We just don’t realize the omnipotence of God – God is so far beyond us. Christ made God personable and knowable while still remaining incomprehensible. God is love, justice, and mercy – God is grace-oriented because Christ was cross-oriented. Thank…
When Satan Applauds By C. S. Craig Written To My Children March 29, 2001 – Revised June 12, 2001 (yet applicable to all). I guess I never really thought about or fully understood the implications of the phrase “we live in the devil’s world.” There are two worlds (realities): God’s world in Heaven – His dwelling place (1 Kings 8:30;…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The quiet words of a wise man are heard louder than the shouts of selfish and greedy men. A poor wise man speaks softly – rich men shout. The conclusion of the whole matter of life is: Fear God, obey God, trust His Son-salvation. Better is the one who has never been born than the one…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… What part of integrity can we ignore and still remain truthful? What part will we ignore for gain? Fortune? Fame? God is integrity! We have volition. It isn’t easy living in the flesh. It isn’t easy to accept the reality of who I am. Paul, the Apostle was so right – he too wrestled with his…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… I find fascinating the words which contain essence, as in the essence of God, or man, or a thing. There is also the quintessence – the fifth essence. But the quintessence I find most fascinating – the hundredth essence. Satan is a sinister codologist of the super-kind – “chief of hoaxers.” Webmaster’s Note: (Codologist: Noun. Irish…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… For the rest of my life, I am. Then what? Then… I AM. When satan goes down, Heaven comes down (the second advent). There is nothing about sin, suffering, and death that I like, but I must experience each. Until this body of flesh is left behind and my spirit soars… free at last. Do not…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… I will always cherish the mountains of Colorado, my home. I praise God in the heights, for it is there I see His Glory and I am closer to Heaven in the high places. I want to discover, then tell others about the wonderful land of discovery. Christ my Savior lifted me to all the high…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The power of the Holy Spirit, by and through the cross, breaks the chains of sin and death. Every noble ideal is empty apart from Christ. When the still small voice of God becomes a thundering judgment, then intellectuals will realize their own stupidity and arrogance, but it will be too late. The edge of knowledge…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… If the universe “came from nothing,” then why couldn’t it have come from God? Which theory requires more faith? Which is more probable? (P.S. Stephen Hawking (evolution’s own ‘god’) once said, “The universe willed itself into existence.” Do with that one what you will, dear reader.) Even if we ask, “Who made God?” or “Where did…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… We are not a God-shaped species as some would have us believe. We are a soul-image species (as in God created man in His own image). I believe our soul-image becomes a higher image when we are born again. It is at this new birth, spiritual, that God reinstates our spiritual heritage and honor as heirs…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Every human begins life in bondage. By faith in Christ, we rise in courage into the liberty of Bible doctrine, where we find peace, joy, love, and true, lasting inner happiness. Interesting how we attempt to live each day’s comfort with the counterfeits of illusion. The corpse, thought dead, continues its advance in corruption. The day…
Relativism: “Truth for you, not for me. My truth is what matters.” This mindset leads to, “It’s true for me, so I will make it true for you,” and “You will participate in my truth.” Truth is not relative, it is an absolute. The plan of satan is whitewashing God’s Word. Merchandising the gospel is whitewashing grace. Activism by believers…
