Exceeding Great And Precious Promises… Followers, believers of the Way, of Jesus Christ, are showered with promises and blessings that can be twisted and turned by the power of lust. Lust may be the first of all sins. For many years it has seemed that pride was at the front of the line regarding sin taking us off course. However, it seems that lust may actually be the first problem we encounter that can bring us to the destruction of our lives. Lust must be riding shotgun with pride as…

Two Nations Are In Thy Womb…
Two Nations Are In Thy Womb… Is there meaning and guidance in all of the Bible? Is there a lesson in every chapter? Should we read the Holy Bible, especially the Torah, Genesis, as a book or as something to teach us about what is coming or how should this vital piece of scripture be approached? The reading of Genesis is a challenging read to say the least. Genesis, in the King James Bible, can be quiet the challenge to read. The stories are a challenge in themselves and then you…
READ MOREBefore He Had Finished Speaking…
Before He Had Finished Speaking… It is when we stay close to God, in prayer, in our walk and in our deeds that God showers our life with favor. With every action we make we should seek God, first, for His direction, His approval and the appropriate blessing for the situation. Otherwise, we should forgo the task. When we pray for others success, as well as our own, it seems that we are showered with success for something we never even knew would be a blessing to our life. Then…

Then On The Third Day… The coming of the lamb, our Savior Jesus Christ, is described many times in the Torah, the Old Testament, but none are as clear as in Genesis. The conception of Isaac, Sarah being barren and Abraham being one hundred years of age, followed by, the offering of Isaac as a sacrifice. And the LORD visited Sarah as he had said, and the LORD did unto Sarah as he had spoken. For Sarah conceived, and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set…

Shall Be Heard In The Light… Confession and repentance comes in a multitude of forms. We can confess to stealing something from a grocery store, a neighbor or a stranger. Taking drugs is stealing from your family and community. Selling your body for money represents a multitude of sin and possibly transgressions against a host of people. We can make restitution in whatever form it may take based on our actions or the request of the person harmed. Our repentance could be finished at that point or we could take…

Only Unto These Men Do Nothing… Though we are decadent beyond imagination we can still be redeemed. Though we commit sin against God, in the sight of God and in the presence of God, we can still be redeemed. Though we make haste, in a vain attempt, to remove ourselves from God we can still be redeemed. God will never turn away from us nor leave us. Is there any righteousness in any of us? Is there a kind heart, a giving hand and clean mind for the Holy Spirit…
READ MOREHe Who Has Prepared Us…
He Who Has Prepared Us… Faith is something most secular people, and even some believers, struggle to understand fully. If we walk by faith why would we have reservations about other people, about situations or about the direction our life is moving? If we walk by faith, not by sight we are trusting in God and not ourselves. When having conversations with others it seems most people don’t actually believe these words. For we who are in this tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but…

Nothing Will Be Restrained From Them… It’s been said by some the gift of imagination is the second greatest gift our Heavenly Father, God of All, has imparted to us. The greatest of all gifts being the Holy Spirit. Does this make sense? Has it ever been a thought before? We have thought a lot about the gift of imagination and how it works in our life. And they said, Go to, let us build us a city and a tower, whose top may reach unto heaven; and let us…

But Now My Eyes See You… Repentance and confession, we believe, could be the single best way to approach our Lord and Savior. Owning our “stuff”, our sins, before the Lord, recognizing them to God, sharing with them with another human being in the presence of God, sets us free. How? We all want others to accept responsibility for wrong actions, right? Why wouldn’t God, in the name of Jesus Christ, want the exact same thing? No matter how heinous the crime committed…own it, admit it and give it to…
READ MOREWhere Were You When…
Where Were You When… Is it possible for us to know what God knows? Is there capacity in our tiny brains to have all knowledge, all wisdom and all patience? Without patience is it possible to have all knowledge, all wisdom? We think not. Is the earth round or flat? According to the Holy Bible it sounds like it is flat. Not only in Genesis 1 but again in Job 38 it sounds like the earth has a border, an edge. Does a pond continually overflow it’s banks or does…
