How do we get God’s power into our lives? There must be a way! If not, then every time God does something it’s by His own sovereignty. But we know that can’t be the case. Why? Because we accept Jesus as our savior by our own will. If God was doing everything by His ownContinue reading “The Conduit To God’s Power”

Substitution 101
Jesus’ spiritual, physical and emotional punishment was Him bearing the curse — the curse of spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical punishment of sin. His resurrection was so we can obtain and share in the same eternal life that He obtained by the resurrection. That eternal life, zoe in Greek, is life as God has it,Continue reading “Substitution 101”
What Jesus Bore
Jesus bore and took all of our physical, emotional, and mental weaknesses, infirmities, and sicknesses in His body. He bore and carried our spiritual death, sins, and iniquities with His death. Spiritual death is separation from God. Spiritual death is the absence of spiritual life. God is life. “For David says concerning Him:I foresaw theContinue reading “What Jesus Bore”
God Is God Of His Creation, Not Satan
Though people worship and follow others and things, God stands alone as the creator of everything. He set himself as the center of worship and the only true God. Following another god will not protect you from the creator God. Satan has never created anything. How then can he save you from Hades and Hell?Continue reading “God Is God Of His Creation, Not Satan”
Which Baptism?
I find it a little disconcerting when good Christian folks don’t understand there are different kinds of baptisms. This ignorance causes misinterpretation of scripture. Misinterpretation causes wrong thinking. Wrong thinking causes wrong believing. And wrong believing can cause us to miss out on the best God has for us. It also causes division among immatureContinue reading “Which Baptism?”
In Jesus’ Name
“And she will bring forth a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for He will save His people from their sins” (Matthew 1:21). Every time we use the name of Jesus, we declare what Jesus has done for us. Jesus has saved us from our sins. Jesus has saved us from the curseContinue reading “In Jesus’ Name”
The First Christmas
(ESV) “Consequently, when Christ came into the world, he said,‘Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body have you prepared for me; in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.’Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come to do your will, O God, as it is written of me in theContinue reading “The First Christmas”
Why Is There A Great Tribulation?
Most in the Christian community has heard of the “great tribulation” that Jesus spoke of in Matthew chapter twenty-four. But why should there be one anyway? Why not just “end it” and let it be? Why the pain and heartache of a tribulation? Let’s consider seedtime and harvest. Seedtime and Harvest “Do not be deceived,Continue reading “Why Is There A Great Tribulation?”
Accidental Missionaries
Whatever evil the devil has enacted, God will make it bless the kingdom of God if we’ll stay close to Him in faith. Too often though, we blame God for the problem instead of looking to Him for the answer. Jesus had told the disciples to “Go into all the world and preach the gospelContinue reading “Accidental Missionaries”
We Are Spiritual and Natural
Humans are both spiritual and natural. We live in both realms. We are a spirit, we have a soul, and we live in a body. With our spirit, we contact the spirit realm. With our soul, we contact the soulish realm. And with our bodies, we contact the natural realm. “Now may the God ofContinue reading “We Are Spiritual and Natural”
