A STUDY IN HEBREWS Chapter 9: 11-Chapter 10:18 Part One I have had opportunity to speak with a number of former Muslim sheikhs living in the Middle East. Almost invariably, each will share a bit of their personal testimony. These men have been […]
RETAKING THE SHIP
I ran into an interesting article written into the form of a dream by author Bryan Hupperts. For those that will take the time to ponder, much can be gleaned through the words. RETAKING the SHIP I dreamed I was aboard a luxury liner, the good ship Christendom, converted curiously enough from a battleship, cruising blissfully through a lazy blue […]
HEADED HOME!
For those that are not aware of it, my wife and I have been on an extended trip to the Middle East. Some, who have not been aware of our trip, have wondered at the lack of new articles being written. We will be back in our home State of Oregon in the United States late Tuesday evening, March […]
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, Part 3
The Old Testament Scriptures bring up something else that is foreign to many, but is definitely a factor in God’s relationship with mankind. The Old Testament speaks quite often of the “adultery” of Israel. He not only speaks of the adultery, but also says that, He, God, is “married” to Israel! Let’s look at a few Scriptures to show this. […]
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, Part 2
Even though the traditional Jewish wedding has been discussed in other articles, and we explained the basic steps up above, it is important to dig a bit deeper and include some of the traditions of the Jewish wedding which have been practiced for thousands of years. There is some variance in traditions at Jesus’ time in history but basic facts […]
THE BRIDE OF CHRIST, Part 1
NOTE: By request, I am re-running this 3-part series originally printed nearly 2 1/2 years ago… The identity of the Bride of Christ has been the subject of much debate. My purpose in this article is to bring up some Scriptures and leave it to you to come to your own conclusions. I believe the answer is not as difficult […]
THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD, Part 4
One of the things that is so difficult for humans to accept, as educated and packed full of knowledge as we can become, is that we really know very little and understand even less when viewing the full scope of life and what our universe is all about. It is even more difficult for us to admit that we are […]
IT IS HARVEST TIME
Matthew 9:36-38: “When he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth laborers into his harvest” Jesus […]
THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD, Part 3
In our study of the infallible Word of God, we ended part 2 with an emphasis on the divine identity of Jesus Christ. We will continue with that theme as we unfold some more unique golden nuggets that God has embedded in His Word to show us there is no other Book like the Bible. As introduction to what we […]
THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF GOD, Part 2
In Part 1 of this series, we looked at some of the unique aspects of the Bible, including some of the physical details and authorship. We find that dozens of authors contributed to the recorded word, yet the closer we scrutinize what has been written, it becomes quite apparent that there was really only one author, the Holy Spirit of […]
