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... Continue Reading →

1Co 10:20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. 1Co 10:21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of...

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 →
I’d like to ask a deep, theological question: “Why Did the Chicken Cross the Road?” Here is what you might hear generally around Christendom: John MacArthur: That chicken was predestinated to cross that road.

I was blessed to be part of a Cowboy Camp youth ministry, several years ago. During that time, I memorized several Cowboy Poems and would recite them, at our Camps and other functions. One of those poems was "The Anvil of God's Word". I especially liked this poem, since I had also been involved as... Continue Reading →
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...

Col.2:8] Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

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?

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 →
Acts 7:51] Ye stiffnecked and uncircumcised in heart and ears, ye do always resist the Holy Ghost: as your fathers did, so do ye.[52] Which of the prophets have not your fathers persecuted? and they have slain them which shewed before of the coming of the Just One; of whom ye have been now the...

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 →
