RESPECTING ELDERS
We live in a time when, in a number of countries, it is no longer uncommon for people to live into their eighties. I’ve had several relatives who lived into their early nineties. Of course, before the Flood there were many who lived beyond the age of 900. As time went by, in this […]
AFTER THE JOURNEY
There are various types of journeys one takes in life. Really, life itself is a journey. For the sake of simplicity I will use two examples with which we are most familiar. Many of us have taken vacations. It really is good to get away from it all sometimes. The vacation period is allotted to […]
SPIRITUAL WARFARE, PART III: Deliverance
This, the third and final part of the Spiritual Warfare blog series, is about deliverance. Now, deliverance is a rather lengthy topic, and since this is a blog and not a lesson or a book, at the end of it I will give you a short list of reliable references on the subject so […]
SPIRITUAL WARFARE, PART II: The Believer’s Arsenal
In the first part of this series on spiritual warfare, such warfare’s reality and a Scriptural view of it were presented. This time you will learn about the believer’s armor and other weapons available to us to wage this warfare successfully. Ephesians 6:13-20: Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you […]
The Precious Gift of Life
“I am the way, the truth, and the life; no one goes to the Father except by me.” – (John 14:6) The words of a wise man once said, “The most precious gift in life is Life”. That man was my neighbor. On a natural aspect it would leave you thinking for […]
SPIRITUAL WARFARE, PART I: The War is Real—and it isn’t Just the Devil!
In some Christian circles believers these days act as though spiritual warfare either does not exist or is minimal. In others there is a lot of talk about spiritual warfare, but many Christians in these groups are fixated on the devil as the enemy. To those of you who are of the frozen chosen, […]
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2024!
The Eye of Horus & Pharmakeia
What we know today as Pharmacy, or “Big Pharma” is derived from the Greek word “Pharmakeia.” This word is translated as “sorcery,” but specifically can mean “poisonous potion.” There are many terms used to define this, all of which are considered an abomination in the eyes of the Lord. This is made evident […]
NEVER ALONE
Some of you reading this blog have probably traveled into remote parts of this country. You are riding down a road in, perhaps, desert or grassland country and you may see a sign that says, “Last Service for 50 Miles”, or something to that effect. As you drive on, a sense of isolation sets […]
The Angel of Light (Night)
In the Bible, Satan is described as an angel of light in 2 Corinthians 11:14-15–” And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.” As I mentioned […]
HELL AND COMPASSION
Some of you who are reading this blog have experienced being burned badly, or you know someone who has. I have not suffered any severe burns in my life, nor do I know anyone personally who experienced this, but I have seen persons carrying the scars of such a dreadful occurrence. Fire can be […]
The Truth Offends with Conviction
Whenever someone is on trial and found guilty; they are convicted of a crime. Our hearts and minds can also face conviction from the Lord, which leads to correction. A correctional facility is defined as a place where criminals go to be rehabilitated whereas prison is a place where criminals are punished for their […]
THE YOUNG EARTH AND CREATION
For a very long time the creation account given in the Bible has been taken literally, although even in ancient times some early church fathers, such as Origen and Augustine, did not agree that Genesis 1 and 2 should be taken in a completely literal manner. The problem with their position is that, again, […]
The Mystery of Tongues Explained
The spiritual gift of speaking in tongues is often debated throughout the different denominations of Christianity. Some argue that it is specific gift that is given to specific people and if there is NOT an interpreter present with the message then it is unholy or false. However, in Scripture, there are explanations of this […]
THE VALIDITY OF GENESIS 1 – 11
Those of us who are born again should be cognizant of the fact that Christianity is under major attack in these last days. Even in traditional Christian bastions such as the United States, our faith is being increasingly derided and dismissed, even to the point of serious attempts being made to silence us. The […]
The Evening Hate
In World War I, Trench Warfare was the tactic utilized by all troops. During the first hours of darkness before daybreak, armies would fire their heavy artillery without ceasing towards all opposition while they took cover in deep ditches. During this time, the enemy was patrolling and transitioning from the frontline position to the […]
CHRISTIAN CITIZENS
As people who are in the world but not of the world, we as Christians hold citizenship in heaven (Philippians 3:17-21).Meanwhile, while here on earth we are citizens of whatever nation we live in (if we are legally registered!). Every nation has a government. While God did institute government, we know that throughout history […]
The Devil Turns Up the Heat When You Do What Jesus Did
Have you ever noticed in video games that more enemies spawn in certain areas? You can defeat a handful that seem relatively easy to defeat but then as you progress the difficulty level increases significantly. In some games, you have maze-like maps to navigate, there will be more enemies in areas where treasure is […]
WHAT IS TIME?
We are familiar with the concept of time in general. Right now, early into a new year, we are particularly conscious of it. As far as the daily business of living goes, there are schedules to keep, deadlines to meet, appointments to be made, and so on, seemingly ad infinitum. Since the fall of […]
The Company We Keep Can Build or Break Character
In 1 Corinthians 15:33-34 Paul taught the Corinthian church–” Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits. Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame.” It is true as the old saying goes: “If you hang with dogs, you […]
