Tit 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost… Here are a couple of question. “How are we washed? And to what state are we renewed? Do our souls get dirty?” Let’s Look at... Continue Reading →
“Fools Despise Wisdom And Instruction”
Prov.1:[7] The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction. Eze 28:15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee. Eze 28:16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence,... Continue Reading →
A Spirit-Filled Thankfulness
Paul wrote in Eph 5:18, “And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit.” I knew one pastor who struggled to understand why the Lord put these two seemingly different commands together in one verse. How does one equate being drunk with wine to being filled with the Spirit?... Continue Reading →
The Essence of Grace
"Grace be to you and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ." What a marvelous declaration from God that echoes through this age, as penned by the Apostle Paul! However, it is so sad that many people are ignorant of the fact that we live in a time designated by God... Continue Reading →
Self-Love?
Paul writes in 3:2 For men shall be lovers of their own selves… A man is what his heart is set upon, and throughout the last days of grace, his heart shall be set upon himself. Men shall be lovers of their own selves. Men shall love self in greater numbers and to a higher... Continue Reading →
They Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine Part 2

“They Will Not Endure Sound Doctrine” But Why?
2nd Tim.4:3] For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;[4] And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. Rom 1:21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him... Continue Reading →
Something To Think About
One of my favorite scenes from Star Trek involves Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock. To one of the Captain's inquiries Spock replies; "I fail to understand the logic of your asking for my opinion on matters which you have already made up your mind" (or something to that effect). I have found this to be... Continue Reading →
The Hope of His Calling Pt. 2
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ: According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the...

The Unpardonable Sin
Now this moment in which the Lord talks about blasphemy against the Spirit is only found here in Matt. 12, Mark 3, and Luke 11. We’re only going to look at Matthew and Mark. Luke doesn’t say anything different than what we’re going to read in these other two accounts. Mat 12:22 Then was brought... Continue Reading →
