Just a Little More Gratitude, Please!
Posted on August 30, 2017 5 Comments
Is there anything you can do to repay God for His goodness to you? The short answer is no. God is too good and what you can give him is too small to come anywhere close to being sufficient. But the good news is, God does not want you to even try to repay Him. […]
Obedience to God

“Be ye doers of the Word, not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” Grace is not a license to sin. Just like children are to obey their parents, just like Jesus obeyed God, we are to obey our Heavenly Father. Not to become His children, or righteous in His sight–faith in Jesus does that for us, but […]
It Is Jesus I Need

“I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no man can come to the Father but through Me.” Who would dare make such an outrageous claim! Indeed, anyone who would believe and say such things about himself has to be a lunatic. Unless, and here is another possibility, He is, in fact, God in […]

Are you familiar with The Parable of the Talents Jesus told in Matthew 25:14-29? In it, Jesus talks about three servants who were each given talents by their master and the opportunity to build on what they had received.

Who do you believe is the happiest person in the world? Is it the person with the greatest amount of money? Or the one wielding the greatest amount of worldly power? Not so. The happiest person is not a human being. The happiest person in the universe is actually God! Most people don’t associate happiness […]
Generational Blessings

We hear much today about generational curses. Some scrupulous and some well-meaning ministers are telling believers they are the victims of curses being passed down to them due to the sins of their ancestors. And in order to ever experience freedom from the curse, they need to receive special prayers of “deliverance,” often requiring repentance […]

The supernatural miracles of God require a supernatural faith. And this is what the faith of God is–a supernatural faith that originates in God, belongs to God, and only God can give. “Have the faith of God,” Jesus says, literally, in Mark 11:22. Not your own faith, God’s faith. The God kind. Now, if I […]
The Mother of All Virtues

If pride is the mother of sin, then humility is the mother of all virtues. Scripture tells us over and over again to clothe ourselves in humility. And gives us some powerful reasons to do so. Here is one such passage: “Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be […]
Let Me Hear From You

Hello friends, Some of you may have noticed I have not been publishing new blogs lately. I have taken a break to assess how to best use my time and how many people are actually reading and finding the weekly blogs helpful and valuable. Since I stopped publishing new ones, I have only had […]
The Past Tense of Forgiveness
Posted on March 16, 2017 1 Comment
What is missing in the way most churches proclaim the Gospel? What is lacking in the understanding of a great number of believers regarding redemption? It is that forgiveness is not future tense; it is past tense! It is not partial; it is total. It is not progressive; it is
