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. With these things in mind, parent(s) have the responsibility to…
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). The Bible is “the mind of Christ“ (1 Corinthians 2:16). HIS mind is…
Auditions for Heaven 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 (‘woman’ was her actual name at the time), every human being since Adam has the…
Divine Energy – Omnipotence and Immutability 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…
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. 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…
Divine Life-Assets 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…
God’s Love 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…
Humility: Orientation to Reality, Authority, and Truth 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…
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. Without absolute truth there can be no…

“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! What powerful words! What powerful authority Christ gave the Scriptures (Matthew 7:28-29). What a powerful endorsement. Christ validated the Old Testament and then fulfilled its promises in…
Profitability The Apostle Paul described the Bible as Divine Authority, when he wrote the following in a letter to a young pastor named Timothy: “And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God (literally,…
The Living Bible “The spirit-filled, supernatural Bible is the most precious book ever written, the most important knowledge ever given, and the most important record this world will ever possess. There in nothing more important than the Word of God… truly, there is nothing truer in all the world than the Word of God.” — C. S. Craig “All the…
The Lord’s Prayer The Lord’s Prayer, as taught by Christ our Savior and Lord The Prayer of Simple Faith. The believer’s model for prayer—a template. We are to pray in this manner. Matthew 6:9-13: What does each phrase express? What is the Lord teaching us by these precious words? Well, He is teaching us… To be specific. To be reverent….
The Christian Objective The Christian objective is to be conformed to the “Image of Christ” (Romans 8:29) “by the renewing of our minds.” We must continually renew our minds with the “mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16). Our objective is to be “imitators” of Christ (1 Corinthians 4:16; Ephesians 5:1). We are to become a spiritually mature believer, at which…
