1. And Abraham journeyed from thence toward the south country, and dwelled between Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in Gerar. 2. And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, She is my sister: and Abimelech king of Gerar sent, and took Sarah. 3. But God came to Abimelech in […]
“For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I.If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto […]
Two weeks ago, I was a part of a home fellowship at my sister’s place. We discussed the importance and power of praising God, especially in trials. The leader of the fellowship, her husband, asked whether we believe it is possible to praise amiss, just as it is […]
Sin. Who has never fallen into it? Who has never relished it? Every single one of us has loved sin. Many still maintain a love-hate relationship with sin. When we came to Christ, there were some sins that were just so hard to forsake. Some that we had to […]
More than a week ago, I shared my counsel with a lady who was in love with a man, who had told her that he couldn’t move forward with the relationship if kissing was off the table. My counsel to her, based on my understanding, was that I […]
I offer no translations, no concessions and no explanations. Read these words from Paul, just as they are. Take them as his understanding if you like, but know that he was appointed by Jesus to teach the Gospel…and his ministry was particularly for the Gentiles. If sexual morality […]
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Rom 3:23). So, I was having a conversation with an old friend the other day, and this issue about the fact that we are all awful sinners, and none of us is good, came up. It […]
My two year old boy is learning new words everyday. I’ve been teaching him to say “please” and “thank you” and “good morning”…and yes, we’ve also practiced “sorry”. He struggles immensely with that one. It is quite mind-blowing. How does he know that he doesn’t mean it…and so […]
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (John 3:16). Do you know that? Do you believe that? Like, really, really believe that? Right where you are, right this moment, all […]
Lord, I know no one is above temptation. It knocks at the door of every heart… Oft times it is disguised as something desirable; And sometimes, we are just weak… We may be lonely, or emotionally down. In need of a friend to talk to; Someone to love […]
I’ve written a few pieces on Hell recently, as I’ve tried to understand and explain why a loving God would create such a place so contrary to His character. As I’ve written these posts, and gained understanding by God’s Spirit, I have been amused. God has a marvelous […]
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Rom 5:8). Do you think that God loves you more than He did when you were still in your sins? Do you think that He loves you more than those […]
“Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done” (Rom 1:28). Do you think that it is possible that someone in this world […]
Jesus teaches us that the pure in heart are blessed because only they will see God (Matt 5:8). When we are gifted with spiritual sight…to believe in God, to be aware of His presence, to desire His fellowship…we are blessed. But there are times when we do not […]
