Now Concerning Spiritual: (8) The Word of Knowledge

The first of the revelation gifts that we studied was the word of wisdom. We’ll continue our study with the second of the three gifts that reveal something – the word of knowledge.

Asking In Jesus’ Name

I hear so many praying to Jesus instead of the Father. Is this correct? Of course it’s fine to speak to Jesus, but is it Biblical to be asking Jesus for our needs to be met? Or should we be asking the Father? I feel like I’m stepping on toes with this one. Discussing BibleContinue reading “Asking In Jesus’ Name”

Now Concerning Spiritual: (7) The Word of Wisdom

I want to reiterate that we can organize the gifts, or manifestations, of the Spirit into three groups of three gifts each. The first group, and the one we just completed, is the power group.

The Truth About The Founding Fathers And Slavery

The hot issue of America’s past of slavery has been weaponized to cause guilt and self-hatred.

Nothing To Compromise With

In light of the recent shootings, the usual fanfare of anti-gun, anti-2nd amendment rhetoric floods the media. Of course, it’s all one sided. The agenda being to disarm the 100 million legal, non-criminal gun owners of America. And the progressives are always asking for a compromise. But what are they compromising? They have nothing atContinue reading “Nothing To Compromise With”

Now Concerning Spiritual: (5) The Working of Miracles

What is a miracle? Miracle is a word we use for many things. There are miracle formulas, drugs, and detergents; we call a beautiful flower a miracle, and a new born baby a miracle. But really, all these things are made and produced through natural and physical laws. In and of themselves they’re not miracles.Continue reading “Now Concerning Spiritual: (5) The Working of Miracles”

Blessed Are The Meek

What is meekness? Most of us think of meekness as weakness. But is it? “Blessed are the meek,For they shall inherit the earth” (Matthew 5:5).

Gentleness We see in Galatians chapter five that one of theContinue reading “Blessed Are The Meek”
