The Apostles and 70 A.D.

What happened? After Jesus ascended alive into heaven the Apostles were emboldened, because they had seen Jesus die and rise from the dead. They knew He is the Messiah. They knew they could trust Him and God’s Word. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and went forth in power. They began the work ofContinue reading “The Apostles and 70 A.D.”

He Rose For Our Justification

We are justified in Christ There was only one law in the beginning. Just one. “But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.”–Gen. 2:17 People want to act like God is some eternal killjoy,Continue reading “He Rose For Our Justification”

They Chose The Devil

God came to Earth, in the form of Jesus Christ. He lived a sinless life, because we cannot. He came to set us free from the bondage of Sin and Satan. The devil found out the plan; hidden since the dawn of time. He and his demonic hordes worked to oppose God’s design. They wouldContinue reading “They Chose The Devil”

Confessing Our Sins, Changes Our Life

Walking in the Spirit In the book of Genesis, we get an indication that God enjoyed walking with Adam in the coolness of the day. They talked and had a relationship. We see the same thing with Enoch. He walked with God. (Gen. 5:18-24) Walking with God, is an indication of spending time with God.Continue reading “Confessing Our Sins, Changes Our Life”

All Things Work Together

He is with us in all of it. I got “saved” when I was young. I had no idea what that actually meant. But, God did. And that’s all that matters. I turned to Him and He came running. No one who gets saved, knows the Bible. They do not know anything. We cannot sayContinue reading “All Things Work Together”

Evil Is With Me

We have a corrupted nature “I find then a law, that, when I would do good, evil is present with me.”—Rom. 7:21 Romans chapter 7 explains to us the purpose of God’s Law. It’s purpose is to reveal sin in us, so that it can be dealt with. Paul describes the struggle between law andContinue reading “Evil Is With Me”

The Coming Storm

The signs of the times For the past week meteorologists have been warning about a coming winter storm. It’s freezing rain and snow will cause problems, they say. And folks believe them. They stock up on bread and milk. They buy icy melt. They break out the snow gear and the shovels. They check onContinue reading “The Coming Storm”

The Power Of The Devil

What the Bible says. I often run into Christians who speak of the devil as though he is powerless and weak. That he is a defeated foe and not a real enemy. It’s almost like they haven’t actually read the Bible. Yes, Christ defeated Satan on the cross. Yes, God is in complete control. But,Continue reading “The Power Of The Devil”

God Will Come Running

When we turn to Him Jesus tells us a story about a young man who left home and went to make a name for himself. (Luke 15:11-32) It could be a kid going to college with his parents credit card. Or a kid chasing a dream with his fathers support and blessing. We know thisContinue reading “God Will Come Running”

Joy Comes In The Morning

God calls us to Him “For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.”— Psalm 30:5 Things happen in our lives. Terrible things that break us and drag us down. Things that we cannot control and break us. Things thatContinue reading “Joy Comes In The Morning”
