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…

Jerusalem, Our Mother
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…
“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,…
The Ailment Of The Galatians: Not “Crying Abba Father”
Gal.1:6] I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:[7] Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.[8] But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than…

Being Conformed To The Image Of His Son
Rom 8:27 And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God. Rom 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his…
The Rich Heritage of Christ
Learning your heritage and knowing the ancient landmarks increases your understanding of the inheritance we possess and will enter. A rich family inheritance is rooted in generations that were before and have passed. Carnal, earthly, temporary riches passed down from one generation to the next are weak and finite. They are experienced by their possessor…
Godly Wisdom And Judgement: ‘Choosing Our Battles’
2Ti 2:1 Thou therefore, my son, be strong in the grace that is in Christ Jesus. 2Ti 2:2 And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also. 2Ti 2:3 Thou therefore endure hardness, as a good soldier…

Wherefore, the family distinguishment is exclusively chosen by the Godhead to highlight closeness, knitness, compactness, and communion. The Father-Son designation is primarily spread abroad in the books of Matthew-Revelation, commonly…
