Inhibition of Spiritual Gifts
There are nine spiritual gifts outlined in 1 Corinthians, and they are divided into their own categories based on the nature of the gift. The first of which is the three Gifts of Revelation: The Word of Wisdom, The Word of Knowledge, and the Discerning of Spirits. The second class is the three Gifts […]
APATHY AND ERROR
We have heard numerous times that we are living in the last days before the Rapture, before Christ’s return, and we really are. If you are familiar with the Scriptures and understand what they say, you have but to read them and see that what has been foretold is coming to pass: 1 […]
BLAMING GOD
Psalm 136:1: Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy enduresforever. That is a beautiful verse, one of many throughout the Bible extolling the goodness of God. In church we sing and talk about how good God is, and we praise Jesus as we go about our daily […]
“Pre-term Birth: Are You Tired of Being Spiritually ‘Pregnant’?”
“’Do I bring to the moment of birth and not give delivery?’” says the LORD. ‘Do I close up the womb when I bring to delivery?’ says your God.”– Isaiah 66:9 At this time three years, I had become spiritually “pregnant” with a promise that God had whispered to me. The past few months […]
Healing Through Trust
Time does not heal all wounds; healing comes through worship (obedience) and trust. It is never too late or too early to receive healing. God is always on time as revealed by Psalm 31:15—”My times are in Your hand; Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.” […]
BIBLICAL COMPASSION FOR ADDICTS
It is sad but true that many professing Christians talk behind the backs of alcoholics and drug addicts just like worldly people do, sometimes even more viciously. That hits home with me because in the past I’ve had my own struggles with alcohol. If anyone thinks I will open up to someone about my […]
God’s Love
Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord. – Romans 8:38-39 His love is steadfast. His love is […]
DO NOT BE LUKEWARM
In the book of Revelation, Jesus Christ instructs the apostle John to write seven letters. These are to seven churches which existed in the first century, all of them in what is now Turkey but what was then Asia (Asia Minor) in the Roman Empire. The last letter was to the church in the […]
Post-Roe: What Does This Mean for the Pro-Life Movement?
Back in June, The Supreme Court of the United States overturned Roe v. Wade, a case that egregiously ruled that access to abortion was a fundamental right in 1972, which prohibited all individual states from outlawing abortion. While the overturning of this case was a joyous celebration for the Kingdom of God, for the […]
Giving the Serpent Legs
In New Age Christianity, God’s “love” is emphasized, but not the same love we know as believers. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8— “Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; […]
OUR AMAZING SOLAR SYSTEM
Many people are familiar with diagrams of the solar system, complete with the sun and its eight planets (I still think Pluto should have been left as the ninth planet!), plus the asteroid belt between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter. In this high-tech age we are living in, diagrams like these can seem like […]
Familiar Spirits
In movies and TV Shows, “familiar spirits” are often referred to as people that were turned into animals and serve as an aid for a witch or warlock. In the movie, “Maleficent” there was a crow turned man that could switch between the 2 forms to be of use to the witch. In “Hocus […]
UFO’s AND ALIENS?
In the past few decades there has been a lot of talk about unidentified flying objects (UFOs), also called unidentified aerial phenomena (UAPs), as well as talk of various types of aliens. Certainly aliens are a big deal to New Agers. There have been multiple sightings of UFOs as well as accounts of people […]
My Season Will Come
Imagine wandering in the wilderness, lost in sin and error, and then receiving a promise from the Lord that one day, a Savior would come into the world through your lineage and rescue you from the depravity that this world has enslaved you to and reconcile you with the one true God. Imagine […]
Faith Watered Down to Water Bottles
A common turn of phrase is that “faith without works is dead,” it is also written in the Holy Bible. But did you also know that in Ephesians 2:8— “For by grace you have been saved through faith and not that of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone […]
WHERE IS THE UNITY?
It is a well-known and unfortunate fact of life that the Church is seriously fragmented. We see the branches of Christianity—Protestant (Evangelical and Mainline), Catholic (the Latin Church and others), the Orthodox Church (including the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches and the Assyrian Church of the East), and the Anglican Church. Within all these […]
Live Like Christ, Even in the Face of Opposition
My whole life I have been a people-pleaser. I just wanted to get along with everyone and have everyone like me. I knew that I had good intentions and that my heart was in the right place (and so does God). Unfortunately, not everyone saw that. Of course it’s impossible to please everyone and […]
THINGS ARE NOT GETTING BETTER—YET
Despite the claims of some, as far back as the first-century Church and the Ante-Nicene Fathers there has been a belief in the Rapture, the catching away of faithful Christians before the seven-year Tribulation begins. I will not discuss that in this blog. Details can be found in the Remnant Bible Study here on […]
Knowing the Heart of God
For thousands of years, the Israelites long waited for the promised Savior that they were desperate for, but when He finally arrived, they nailed Him to a cross. The ones who resisted God and rejected their Messiah were very knowledgeable in the Mosaic law and religious traditions. But they did not know God’s heart. […]
Eyes are Windows to the Soul Pt 2
Are ghosts real? Certainly, but there are not separate from good/bad spirits such as angels/demons. Ghosts are not loved ones visiting to comfort us, nor are they the spirits of people that died with unfinished business. There is no in between, there is only the Holy Spirit and angels, and demonic spirits that can […]
