Features Bible Study Commentaries, Categories, and Lectures. “Study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needs not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the Word of Truth” (2 Timothy 2:15).
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…
Arrogance of the Species We humans sin because we can. We sin because we have the knowledge of good and evil. We sin because we have volition (freedom to choose). We sin because we have the Adamic (Adam’s) Nature – the sin nature; the “old man” of Ephesians 4:22; the “flesh” of Romans 8:3,4; the principle of “sin” of Romans…
Socialism is the human attempt to provide a utopian economy with political, social, and environmental “perfection.” But only Jesus Christ will accomplish a perfect environment at His Second Coming. If a free society is to remain free, there must be a strong military to protect the freedom of human volition. Therefore, every citizen must know and understand the divine gift…
Five ministries of the Holy Spirit, which occur immediately at the point of salvation*: The Baptism of the Spirit places the believer into UNION with Christ, making each Church Age believer a member of the Body of Christ, the Church, the royal family of God (1 Corinthians 12:13; 1 Peter 2:9). The Indwelling of the Spirit transforms the believer’s body into…
Socialism is a human attempt to provide a utopian economy. Socialism reduces people to the lowest common denominator. Socialism is a human philosophy designed to gain power for a few “enlightened elite” based upon class warfare, jealousy, envy, greed, laziness – by monetary seduction, and equality/equity. Remedies for equality simply create more inequalities. Socialistic ideology advocates equal results at the…
Always remember that all battles are the Lord’s. At the Second Advent (Christ’s return), Jesus Christ will destroy the forces of satan. God Himself will save His chosen people from total annihilation. Current events unfolding from the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the conflict in Israel, could signal satanic movements toward fulfilling possible end-time prophecy, eventually leading to the final,…
Victory Over Death, or Victory Over the Fear of Death The Apostle Paul expressed well both the life of the believer, and the physical death of the believer in Philippians 1:21: “For me, to live is Christ and to die (physically) is gain.” Paul’s life, after he was converted by Christ Himself on the road to Damascus, was totally devoted…
Introduction to the Prehistoric Past and the Fall of Lucifer (satan) Most of the world lives unaware of the very real and very intense angelic warfare happening all around them, yet suffering, aggression, corruption, and evil explode throughout the earth, as a result of this invisible warfare. There is a very real spiritual battle in the heavens, throughout the universe,…
Apostasy is defined as “One who has fallen away from the consistent, daily intake of God’s Word.” In times of apostasy, society turns its back on God and in so doing, depends more and more on government. As a result, the government becomes too big and too powerful. The more society depends on the government, the more power the government…
The LORD demonstrates His power in the winds, the whirlwinds and the storms. At the LORD’S command the rivers rise and the rivers dry up. The lush green forests wilt, and the pastures wither. The mountains tremble, and the hills melt. The earth quakes, nations rise and fall. The earth turns, life endures. Thank you LORD for your “absolute veracity…
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. With these things in mind, parent(s) have the responsibility to teach their children the Truths of…
“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). The Bible is “the mind of Christ“ (1 Corinthians 2:16). HIS mind is a terrible thing to…
There are no auditions for heaven! The exception was Jesus Christ. Reason: No one else qualified as a perfect unfallen human being, one without the Adamic Nature. Since Adam chose to disobey God by the temptation handed to him from the woman, every human being since Adam has the imputed nature that sinned. Mankind, because of the love and mercy…
To begin our short study, we’ll cover a few basic points. There are two Laws of Thermodynamics: The First Law of Thermodynamics is that of energy conservation. This law states that although energy can change forms, it cannot be created nor destroyed and therefore the sum total remains constant. Thus no energy is now being created or destroyed anywhere in…
In the corridors of darkness, we wrestle with our own inner sin-weaknesses, which attempt to control the mind by controlling the flesh. As we struggle with our fleshly appetites, we can only be victorious by confession, repentance, and forgiveness from God, who will forgive every time because Christ paid for every sin (past, present, and future sin). Every believer will…
DIVINE LIFE-ASSETS Okay, what does that mean? Divine life-assets can be viewed as a God-given toolbox, one full of tools for use in specific situations while you’re operating within the realms of your daily life. The right tool for the right job. A dark house on a dark street may not be visible. But if the nightlights are on, on…
Okay, let’s begin another journey toward God, together: A CLOSER LOOK AT GOD’S LOVE The Bible tells us that God is Love, but that does not imply that He is sentimental. God does not bless or reward our human-good works or our sincerity in wanting to please Him (Isaiah 53:6; 64:6). As fallen humanity we do not and cannot…
The Cross of Jesus Christ, Yeshua, the Messiah, is the starting place for genuine humility. Genuine humility is oriented to reality, which is God. It is also oriented to proper authority – God’s Words of Truth. Humility may be defined as “freedom from subjectivity by proper orientation to God.” Humility is the virtue of teachability and respect for authority. In…
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. Without absolute truth there can be no certainty. Without certainty…
