Ephesians 3:17-19
The plan of the enemy is to seduce us away from the safety of the narrow path of life to gain an advantage to kill, steal, and destroy. He can only succeed if he is able to entice us. He can only entice us if we are carnally minded, which is to say if we resort to... Continue Reading →
As I have aspired to please my Father in Heaven and encouraged others to do likewise, I have been reminded by church folk that there is only one Jesus. This reminder hurled towards me suggests that I have forgotten this fact. The Spirit of Christ did not come to indwell us to empower us to... Continue Reading →
It is easy to be swept away into the cares of this world, since it is the focal point of this world’s governments and there are floods of information coming at us from media outlets reporting on these concerns. To maintain peace and soberness of mind and to remain in this world but not of... Continue Reading →
A perspective I have been enjoying recently is the idea of the Lord inviting us into His greater story by making us letters read of all men, as Paul writes about in the book of 2 Corinthians. The question is, are we willing to be a chapter in His story (history)? Can He use us... Continue Reading →

This reference as the last Adam signifies the genesis of a new order of man, distinctly different from the first Adam. Whenever we ascribe the characteristics... Continue Reading →
It is important for parents to remember that they had life and purpose before they were used of YAHWEH to bring life to their children. The parent’s own life and not their children’s lives should remain their center focus. This statement is counterculture and that is why it probably feels wrong right now but let... Continue Reading →
There is a fallacy being propagated in the Church like a sweet liquor in the fruit punch making everyone intoxicated. The tainted punch being served is the teaching of Christ’s sweet love. I have encountered so many Christians that have modified the gospel to satisfy the taste of the world, and we all know the... Continue Reading →
