Godly Peace From God Our Father

Rom.1:7] To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints: Grace to you and peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. Rom.16:19] For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which... Continue Reading →

Is God the Father in the OT?

I believe there are at least three occasions in which God the Father made an appearance in the Old Testament. 1 – Daniel Saw Him in a Vision. Dan 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of... Continue Reading →

God’s Throne Room

Consider day one of the Tribulation. The 144,000, the Two Witnesses, the Antichrist, the False Prophet – they all make their appearance on day one, and in this article, we’re going to go look at another event at the beginning of the Tribulation, the scene that will take place in God’s Throne Room. We might... Continue Reading →

One Nation Under God

Have you ever wondered about some of the terms that we have used throughout the years, such as, “One nation under God,” and “God’s Country?” It’s election time once again, and we are sure to hear these phrases to prop up America, even placing it in “Most Favored Nation” status by God! I am as... Continue Reading →

The Secret Place

Psa. 91:1 He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. Is this not a fascinating verse? "He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty." That's amazing! Does this verse remind you of anything... Continue Reading →

A Well Worn Path

Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fulness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore. - Psalm 16:11 A trip down memory lane. My recollection some years later is of a flat rock, that was just outside of the boundary of a ball field.  This was... Continue Reading →

Did John Time Travel in Revelation?

In the book of Revelation, did John time travel into the future? Oh, yeah, man. This is gonna be EPIC. First, we must consider the big picture structure of the book of Revelation. In fact, I would be so bold as to suggest that there really is only one proper Biblical breakdown of Revelation. And... Continue Reading →

The Nude Dude in a Rude Mood

Can you guess who I’m referring to? The Maniac at Gadara. This story is also told in Matt. 8:28-34 and Lk. 8:26-39. Typically, Mark gives abbreviated accounts of events, but on this occasion, Mark gives the longest version of this story with the most details. So let’s read Mark 5! I’ll occasionally interject other details... Continue Reading →

The Exceeding Greatness Of His Power To Us

Eph 1:19 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,  Eph 1:20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,  Eph 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and...

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 →

God OUR Father

Eph 1:2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God OUR Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Notice how Paul wrote, “our Father.” God is not our Father just by virtue of being creator. Because of our rebellion, He’s given us up and given us over to reprobate thinking, allowing us in our free... 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...

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 3 Exceedings in Ephesians

In Eph. 1:19, we find the first of three times when Paul wrote “exceeding” in the book of Ephesians. He writes, “And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power.” Paul chose His resurrection (1:20) as an example of God’s demonstration of His...

My Life Verse

Do you have a life verse? My life verse hasn’t changed over the years. A long time ago, I fell away from the Lord. I came back. I sat down to read Paul’s epistles for the first time in ages. And as soon as I came across this verse, I knew this would be my... Continue Reading →

The Eternity of God

Everything about our eternal life hinges upon the fact that God is incorruptible, unchangeable, and eternal in His essence. You can find enormous comfort just by meditating upon the eternity of God. Then you can rest in the certainty of His promises because He is an eternal God. Consider the opening to Psalm 90. Psa... Continue Reading →

The Amazing Body

For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made... Continue Reading →
