God’s Principles By Categories (Topics & Concepts) The purpose of teaching the Word of God categorically is to help you (the born-again believer) erect a Grace Place in your soul for application of Bible truths to the details of life. Categorical study organizes God’s Truths into a systematic format. In other words, we learn different pieces of the puzzle, one…
We need to understand from Scripture that satan has organized one-third of the angels (perhaps billions), who chose to follow him instead of God, into various ranks. Satan, as General (leader) of the army of demons, has organized his demon army by rank and file. They constantly interfere in the lives of believers (but satan does not – he is…
What is the meaning of words? What is the meaning of meaning? Questions search for answers. Answers create more questions. The cycle is endless because knowledge is an endless river flowing from God, the source of all knowledge. A look at the meaning of words requires the study of numerous categories of knowledge. It requires thought. Thought requires vocabulary. The…
If you are a serious student of the Word of God, you should be aware of Koiné Greek terms and their usage and significance. Why? Because there are only a handful of churches and clergy who teach from the original languages of Scripture (when in reality, each and every pastor and teacher of the Word of God should definitely teach…
I concur with Chuck Colson and his panel of experts regarding biotechnology. Here are my thoughts in my own words… To take a life created in God’s image is a sin against God and man. To make a life created in man’s image is a sin against man and God. Taking human life or making human life – where is…
VICTORIOUS PROCLAMATION #1 Prior to Christ’s resurrection, all the way back to the days of Adam, believers had waited in Paradise for the promised Savior. Finally, Christ made His Victorious Entrance and His Victorious Proclamation that He went to the cross, paid the penalty for sin, and that their salvation was completed, once and for all, just as God promised…
In this study, we will examine God’s Word concerning creation. We will also view science and the so-called “scientific” laws of the universe from the Biblical perspective. Note: We identify the words spoken by Christ in red, the same as is presented in the Red Letter Edition of the King James Bible. Our study is divided as follows: CREATION SCIENCE…
The answer to the question is yes. But God does not seek to prove this to be so. He simply states it. Individuals are free to do with that what they will. “The Word of God is alive and powerful” (Hebrews 4:10). All scripture is given by inspiration (“God-breathed” in the Greek) of God (2 Timothy 3:16), meaning God literally…
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; consider…
THE PRODUCTION OF THE HUMAN SIN-NATURE People are basically the same wherever we go and wherever we find them, except for certain characteristics such as: culture, color, language, personality, and physical appearance. These differences are distinguishable, but they are only superficial. Man’s nature is inherently human. Thus, all mankind share a common denominator – the human nature, the nature to…
If moral choices remain relative (no right, no wrong), we will witness the death of reason, the loss of shame, and the loss of our ability to define meaning. Without absolutes, there is no shame, no meaning, no authority, no truth – reason itself will have lost meaning. Remove God, who is the absolute meaning of Truth, and there is…
MAN IS THE RECIPIENT AND BENEFICIARY OF GRACE BECAUSE OF CHRIST Second only to the Doctrine of the Deity of Christ, the most important study we will ever undertake is the Doctrine of Grace – God’s graciousness. We cannot even begin to know our Great God and Savior until we metabolize His grace. The word grace in the Greek is…
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…
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;…
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…
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…
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…
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…
God is sovereign over the universe and human affairs. Divine sovereignty and human freedom co-exist. I really like the statement in Daniel 4:35: “All the inhabitants of the earth are counted as nothing, and He does what He wants with the army of heaven and the inhabitants of the earth. There is no one who can hold back His hand…
Law 1: Identity law Law 2: Non-contradiction Law 3: Excluded middle Identity – 1Truth is 2absolute – untruth is absolute. 3Neither can be the other. Therefore, non-contradiction is “neither can be the other.” So, all three are absolutes. Human Logic is based on reality – patterned after reality. “God, our Creator, gave us truth. We added untruth.” The principles of…
