Salvation

Proverbs 8:30-31 I was the architect at his side. I was his constant delight, rejoicing always in his presence.  And how happy I was with the world he created; how I rejoiced with the human family!

This is one of the saddest realities of the world’s wrong view of God. The god’s that struck out against man...

Scripture Read: Judges 7:14-15 His friend replied, “This is nothing less than the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel; God has given Midian and all the camp into his hand.” When Gideon heard the account of the dream and its interpretation, he bowed in worship. He returned to the camp of Israel and said, “Arise, for the Lord has given the camp of Midian into your hands.”

Application: Who is like You oh God? The gods of man are self-serving, vindictive, removed, unsympathetic and cruel! They have no desire to encourage or to be merciful to their followers. Because they are from the mind of fallen man, their delight is in... 

☛ Probing Proverbs 6:14-15 Their perverted hearts plot evil, and they constantly stir up trouble. But they will be destroyed suddenly, broken in an instant beyond all hope of healing.☚ Wisdom is dealing with those that are bent on being careless with their life and evil in their motives. The gospel is the story of second chances, this is true, yet…

I have wondered all my life about the "Love Of God" that is preached in all of today's Christian churches. All my life I've been told that God loves me, and not just me, but all of mankind. Ministers in every church I've attended have made it clear that God sent His Son, Jesus, to die for the sins of all mankind. But that's not the love I see in the sermons, and lessons of the Christian denominations, and it's certainly not the love I see and hear from the ministers of these churches.

Hebrews 1:1–2 “God, after He spoke long ago to the fathers in the prophets in many portions and in many ways, in these last days has spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.”

Close your eyes and imagine with me: GOD! All Powerful, Almighty - there is nothing - suddenly...

2000 years ago this Friday was 1 week away from the Author of life being murdered by the very ones He created. Perhaps a week of meditation would be beneficial.

John 12:23-24 Jesus replied, "The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. I tell you the truth, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains only a single seed. But if it dies, it produces many seeds.

Before Glory - comes...

Scripture Read: 1 Timothy 4:9-10 It is a trustworthy statement deserving full acceptance. ¹⁰ For it is for this we labor and strive, because we have fixed our hope on the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of believers. 

Application: Paul, having just pointed out that we should give ourselves to those things that matter eternally, re-clarifying the importance of this endeavor Paul states it more simply saying it is worthy to be trusted, and it is for this very reason that...

Scripture Read: 1 Timothy 4:1 But the Spirit explicitly says that in later times some will fall away from the faith, paying attention to deceitful spirits and doctrines of demons,

Application: The idea brought forth by the term “fall away”causes many a lot of problems in the Body of Christ these days. This should not be so. The key to understanding this term “fall away from the faith”is to read the context of the term and see how it is used in the passage you are reading and interpret that with the totality of other teaching or doctrine on this issue throughout scripture. A haphazard question would be,  “does God lose or deny one that “had”belonged to Him?”thus assuming that there was a loss of salvation. Yet when we read all the teaching on the gift of Salvation, it is clear that...
