Evil is not something that has a life of its own, rather, it is a corruption of a perfect creation. Evil is the addition of corruption that caused perfect to be imperfect. Good has always existed but is restricted – good is something less perfect because evil co-exists. Both exist, but neither is an entity. Evil is a perversion of…
Jesus did not think of His deity as more important than our souls. The very nature of deity precluded the fact that any member of the trinity could be judged for sin. Eternal life can neither be born, nor die; holiness cannot have anything to do with sin; omnipresence cannot be reduced to one point (the cross); immutability cannot change….
We all face the same choice at least once: Turn from God or turn to Him. Learn God – learn God’s perspective. God’s solutions to our troubles were determined before the world was created. God has a plan against evil (Galatians 4:4; 1 Peter 1:18-20). So, “the justified will live by faith” (Habakkuk 2:4). “Live by faith…” three little words…
Christ is the faithful witness – Revelation 1:5 and 3:14 The first begotten of the dead The Prince of kings – Revelation 1:5 The First and Last – Revelation 1:17 He that liveth – Revelation 1:18 The Son of God – Revelation 2:18 Holy and true – Revelation 3:7 The faithful and true witness, the amen, the beginning of the…
Constant exposure to infusions of untruth will exhaust the spiritual resistance and strength of the American people, so that untruth becomes truth (1 Corinthians 10:12). This is done on a massive scale by the education system and in all forms of media. It’s a constant bombardment, driven deep into the mind through propaganda, fear-mongering, and inculcation. Human viewpoint and secular…
Thirteen points on back-to-basics: Do you want to feel better about who and what God is? Then realize who and what you are. So, who are you? You, like everyone else, are a sinner saved by grace. So, what are you? You are a human being, meaning: you’re not God. Your being is human. You are a mortal being with…
God created humanity with free will. We can and do make our own choices, proving volition. Therefore, we have the choice to respect and honor God, or to go our own way. Furthermore, God’s plan for creation and humanity was ordained, and history is being lived as God ordained. At the consummation of human history, the ordaining wisdom, the perfect…
Humanity is anointed. Deity is Eternal God. Blasphemy is rejecting Christ. God came to rescue humanity from sin-darkness, which is separation from God. Jesus, in His humanity, is the long awaited Messiah – the Davidic Messiah of Israel. Jesus is the anointed one, sent from God, baptized for power by the Holy Spirit of God the Father, thereby uniquely empowered…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Perhaps inferiority keeps us humble. So, I (we) wrestle with superiority and inferiority; humility and arrogance; coveting and regret. What is this thinking of the psyche, this battle of natures within us? The conflicts of thought are provoking and educational, and each decision has a price. When consciousness becomes constant evil, it needs constant sleep –…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… No created thing can satisfy the soul of mankind except the Creator. Christ fills the void in the soul; the Holy Spirit fills the life of the admitted believer. We each need to give our lives to the Lord, and give Him what He gave us… His life. John 13:38a: “Will you lay down your life…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Alcohol does not kill brain cells, it causes new cells to grow slower, which interferes with the working functions and processes of the brain. Drink knowledge instead, then meditate with the Holy Spirit to develop wisdom. In Matthew 20:23, we see that the future is already prepared by God the Father. Christ, sent by the Father,…
Lightning demonstrates the power of God over His creation. His electric light-show all over the earth gives mankind continuous visuals of heaven’s eternal light – the assurance of His unseen presence. – C. S. Craig
The Glory Chamber of God cloudy days portray the glory of God suspended as a covering over the earth. When the clouds release their waters the earth drinks life. — C. S. Craig
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Walk in truth through fields of grace. Abide there. Walk in love. Standing… walking in truth-fields… remaining faithful. Standing or walking is just one step from stumbling. Walk and practice truth. Protect truth from counterfeiters and untruths. Works for salvation is a perversion of God’s grace. The believer is preserved in Christ (Jude 24). It is…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The people stand for truth or untruth, therefore, know truth. His name is Jesus the Christ – Yeshua. Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, where He is first in the lives of its people. The heart of man is capable of all things, deceitfully wicked in arrogance. I am persuaded by past and…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… When we pass away, all things become new. In Colossians 3:5-17, the old becomes the new. We put off the old and put on the new, via transformation, transition, and translation into God’s presence. Revival is the translation from the old to the new. The restoration of mankind to a permanent spiritual relationship with God is…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… The result of apostasy is divine discipline, whether it be toward the individual or… the nation. Pray for your nation, daily, fervently. The faithfulness of a nation to the laws of God’s divine establishment and the dedication of believers to the doctrines of the Bible are the solutions that guarantee freedom in an ominous and belligerent…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Life is a bummer of a blessing. Life is a repeat of wrong choices, bad and good decisions. With bad decisions there is a price to be paid; with good decisions, a reward is made. We have given our full confidence to Christ. We have believed His Word regarding our sin. We have believed God that…
READ, LINGER, PROCESS… Death terminates the necessities and accessories of life. In death’s grip, life disintegrates, but in Christ’s hand, death has no power, no sting, we’re a passing thing or we are naught. Looking up from beneath the trees, one is enthralled in the shimmers of happy glimmers – my little family and thoughts of aspen and birch…
“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen” (Hebrews 11:1). When we see the moon, the sun, the stars, and all of creation, it is with physical sight. When we reflect on Hebrews 11:1 as we look upon all creation, it is spiritual insight – the meeting of sight and insight, thus proving…
