Truths from I Peter... 4:1, God suffered in flesh for others. 3:18, It was the just dying for unjust – it was One perfect, faithful and true dying for sinners, rebels, prideful, and enemies. 3:22, Jesus died, rose and is now exalted to God and exercising all power. 3:12, There are but two groups of...

Christian Nationalism
Some of us recently attended a presentation on Christian Nationalism which was informative, but not, in my opinion, a “home run.” I left with a better idea about the mission of some who are post-millennials as to how they propose to bring about a utopian world that will then bring on the second coming of Jesus,...

A Right Mind
I Peter 4:1-2, Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. I Peter 1:13, Therefore gird up... Continue Reading →
Salt and Light
Matthew 5:13, You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt loses its flavor, how shall it be seasoned? It is then good for nothing but to be thrown out and trampled underfoot by men. 14-16, “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor... Continue Reading →
FAITH
Hebrews 11:6, But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him. Hebrews 11:1, Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. “The just shall live by faith” - Habakkuk 2:4 and three more times! Romans 1:17, Galatians 3:11, and Hebrews... Continue Reading →
JESUS!
“World Economic Forum and Klaus Schwab all get to be god except Jesus”, Pastor Jack Hibbs. Jesus! A name so very common, so very divisive, so powerful, so differently defined. Many people believe in Jesus as the founder of a great world religion. Many people believe in Jesus as their Savior giving them rights and... Continue Reading →
Hearing
II Corinthians 12:3-4, And I know such a man—whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows— how he was caught up into Paradise and heard inexpressible words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. How often we select a church based on sight and looks. A digital sign. A striking... Continue Reading →
The Law
There is much ado in Christendom over the place of God's Law in life, especially the Ten Commandments. This is important as we know that ALL Scripture is given by God and is profitable (II Timothy 3:16) and we know that the Law is not over us (Romans 6:14, 8:2) as it does not save (Galatians 2:16). Yet,... Continue Reading →
Your Keys
In a recent message, pastor Tony Evans of Dallas, TX, was talking of giving your keys to a friend that might drive you home! Sounds like a familiar idea. Right? It is! Often heard in the days before New Year’s Eve is the message that if drinking, please give your keys to someone not drinking to drive you home. Why? Because,... Continue Reading →
A Learning Passion
I suggest that all men have a “learning passion.” All! I’m not talking about a drive to grasp Grammar, Poetry or Calculus. Yes, some do have such a learning passion but for many the learning passion is other than books and school, yet still real. Here are some examples: >There is a passion to learn from pundits...
