1Ti 3:15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth. 1Ti 3:16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified...

2Co 12:7 And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure. 2Co 12:8 For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from...

For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe. - 1 Thessalonians 2:13 The Word... Continue Reading →
There’s a story* told by a Grace Believer who met another Grace Believer in the middle of the Golden Gate Bridge.

Joy is a person. His name is Jesus! Is it me? Or, are there not more, and more Christians who have lost their joy? How can this be? Has the church failed in communicating the absolute sufficiency of the Cross-work of Jesus? The reality is that far too many churches, and pastors,, have fallen short... Continue Reading →
Rom.6:10] For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.[11] Likewise reckon ye also yourselves to be dead indeed unto sin, but alive unto God through Jesus Christ our Lord.[12] Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in...

F.B. Meyer, who was a contemporary of Moody, a Baptist, once wrote, “The nearer the saint comes to the perfect life, the farther he feels from it. It is only when we have climbed the foothills that we realize how lofty the mountain summits are. But there is no need for discouragement. We have eternity... Continue Reading →
The Organic UnionWe live in an age when individual rights, self-reliance and independence is greatly valued (at least in word if not always in substance). People everywhere are “doing their own thing.”This attitude is also pervasive in the Church, the Body of Christ and manifests itself in many forms. One form that many of us... Continue Reading →
Gal 4:26 But Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all. Isn’t this a fascinating verse? Jerusalem which is above is free, which is the mother of us all! The Jerusalem that is above is our mother! How amazing is that? How often do we hear grace pastors celebrating the... Continue Reading →
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 →
Since suffering from a stroke in March, 2022, I have been on the road to recovery. I am, however, physically tired. Each day I get more, and more, back to normal (whatever that may be now). Many of the things I used to do are no longer done, or are donw with great strain. There... Continue Reading →
Question: What Does The Apostle Paul Mean In Ephesians 4:20-21 By: “Ye Have Not So Learned Christ,” And “Ye Have Heard Him, And Been Taught By Him?” Eph 4:20 But ye have not so learned Christ; Eph 4:21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth... Continue Reading →
Eph.6:10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.[11] Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.[12] For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness...

This particular article will be confusing for some as I am addressing a particular group of people with whom I have encounters dating back almost forty years. This group is known as the, so-called, “Grace Movement.” I have often felt over the years that this is somewhat a misnomer in that, in behavior, much of... Continue Reading →
And GOD saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually. (Genesis 6:5) Before I go any further, I just want to pass along this disclaimer: This article is not about the "Nephilim." I repeat: This is not about... Continue Reading →
He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him. - Proverbs 18:13 I have always been a proponent of apologetics - the defense of the faith. It is, after all, an important issue. Knowing your Christian worldview, and the difference between Biblical Christianity, and other “isms” which run... Continue Reading →
Let a man so account of us, as of the ministers of Christ, and stewards of the mysteries of God. Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful. (1 Corinthians 4:1-2) One of the most important things for anyone that ministers, no matter their role, is that they be faithful. As... Continue Reading →
Have you ever studied the word reward in Paul’s epistles? First, all the blessings of grace that were showered on us when we got saved is one great big reward. Paul said in Col. 2:18, “Let no man beguile you of your reward.” Everything we’ve already received by His grace is His reward for our... Continue Reading →
Rom.12 9] Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
