50 Kingdom Takeaways

This is a collection of snippets from our Wednesday night sermons on the End of the World, and these a few of my favorite aspects about the Lord's millennial kingdom. Enjoy! -j The kingdom is literal, physical, and visible here on this Earth. In the Bible, Jerusalem means Jerusalem. Zion means Zion. And the Earth... Continue Reading →

AGREEING TO DISAGREE?

OK, first off, I would like to have a show of hands to demonstrate how many people agree with any other person 100% of the time. OK, do I have any takers at 50%? That is what I thought.  You can hardly find two people who agree on more than a few key issues.  Everyone... Continue Reading →

My, My, My x 3!

It’s often easy to see how a person can get caught up in performance based religion.  Simply put, people tend to look at a single verse, without context, and build their doctrine based on the incomplete knowledge they have been given. One such instance can be found in Psalm 18:20: The Lord rewarded me according... Continue Reading →

People Are People 

One of the realities that is often so hard for people to fathom is that each and every person in the world is, in fact, an individual.  Individual habits,  individual appearances,  individual diets, even individual preferences of clothing and automobiles.  There are no two people alike - even identical twins!  There is no single physical...

THE “UGOTTA” DISEASE

There is a dreaded disease that strikes at the heart of every person in the world.  This disease also is the most devious of all, because it psychologically makes one think they are actually well. This disease, unfortunately, can be found in many churches.  It is nothing new, but has been around even before there... Continue Reading →

What is True Freedom?

Rom 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death. What is true freedom? I suspect most people equate freedom with civil liberties. Freedom of speech. Freedom of assembly. Free exercise of religion. But, see, civil liberties is just a form... Continue Reading →

Happy Independence Day

Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage. - Galatians 5:1 (KJV) i wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a Happy Independence Day. I am so thankful to live in the United States of American which has been the... Continue Reading →

Glorious Living?

Auto-play on YouTube can be a wonderful thing.  It can also be quite an eye-opening experience, even when listening.  A couple of days ago the Sunday message from a local mega-church ended up in the que.  The message was the standard “purpose-driven,” “best life now” fare, which is wrong on so many fronts.  But, the...

Ignorance…

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, (1 Thessalonians 4:13a) It has long been speculated that ignorance is not a sin, but to remain ignorant is.  Yet, God had initiated sacrifices for sin committed in ignorance.  Even when we hold the position that ignorance is not sin, ignorance has indeed created many problems, including...

And Can It Be?

For now on I really do have to remember to turn on my voice recorder when I am driving.  I have always had peace when I am alone in my car driving, whether on my way to work, or running simple, mundane errands. I seem to be able to think clearer. I'm able to talk, not... Continue Reading →

THE RECIPE FOR PEACE 

There are two things that most people desire, not only today, but throughout history.  Number one is peace.  Number two is money.  And, many believe that more money can create peace.   This is impossible, because the lack of peace is within each and very human being.  James, though addressing the 12 Tribes of Israel (James 1:1), had some incredible...

Our Everlasting Consolation

2 Thess. 2:13-17 2Th 2:13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God for you, brethren beloved of the Lord, because God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth: 2Th 2:14 Whereunto he called you by our gospel, to the obtaining of...

Passion Week

Hello, saints! Below is a collection of 4 articles on Supply of Grace in which I explored in chronological order the final days of the Lord’s life on Earth and His resurrection. I took the four Gospel accounts and combined them into a single narrative in chronological order. I also tried to highlight every time... Continue Reading →

Relationships

From time to time, I hear some folks in Grace circles say, "The Bible never says we are to have a relationship with Christ." This comment always causes me to ponder exactly what they mean by that. So, I take digital pen in hand and offer my rare, but humble opinion regarding this. Let's start... Continue Reading →

The Absence of Joy

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...

Unsatisfied

Our flesh is in a continual state of dissatisfaction. It relishes all the religion and self-effort that we can throw at it and then screams for MORE."Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject to ordinances, {21} (Touch not; taste...

I’m So Tired!

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...
