I have found my study of the Church of Sardis interesting. The things Jesus had to say in describing this church are unique, as I think you will find as we take an in-depth look at the Scriptures. Here once again, we find descriptions of a real church which existed in the first century days. We also find that the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE: 1/27/2015
After my latest phone call from House Of Blessing out of one of the huge refugee camps in Syria I could not help but think of some Scriptures that speak to the relationship we as representatives of the Kingdom of God have with both the redeemed as well as the lost all around us. I thought I might start this […]
DOCTRINES OF DEMONS, Part 2 of 2
Continued from Part 1 Tom Horn and Chris Putnam, in their well documented and very detailed book, “Exo-Vaticana” have an exhaustive list of verified quotes by Vatican officials. I am only referring to a handful for this article, but as the reader can already see, there is no question about the direction that Roman Catholic doctrine is heading, and it […]
DOCTRINES OF DEVILS, Part 1(of 2)
The subject of this article is one I do not relish delving into, but feel I must. Most of the Church, let alone the world’s people, have no understanding of the depth of the deception that is about to be offered on a religious silver platter. I am reminded of strong warnings in the Bible, one of which is found […]
CRUCIAL TIMES
Quite often in recent times I have experienced an urgency in my soul. This is one of those times so I must set aside everything else I have been working on and share some thoughts that are crowding my mind today, including what I believe is coming at us in our immediate future. As most of us know, we are […]
How To Walk In Intimacy With God, Part 11
In this series we have looked at quite a number things that have to do with our walk of intimacy with God. We are going to look at something in this portion of the study that is sometimes overlooked in our day. This is “Purity.” We will spend some time looking at this in this study. We know that God […]
“How To Walk In Intimacy With God,” Part 10
Walking in intimacy with God is something that many do not give a second thought to. Yet, the Bible tells us that God is quite aware of those who take the time and make the effort to do so–with great spiritual rewards. It is worth noting that God is not looking for people who live flawless lives, but rather, he […]
“How To Walk in Intimacy With GOD,” Part 9
In going deeper in the study of walking in intimacy with God, I would like to spend a little time looking into the need for “meditation.” I am not referring to an eastern version of mysticism, nor “transcendental meditation” that became quite popular in the west starting in the 1960’s. For those that are living the life of a Christ-follower, […]
How To Walk In Intimacy With God, Part 8
In the first seven parts of this series, we have looked at a number of things that should be part of our individual walk with God–if our hope and desire is to have intimacy with Him. Praise, worship, thanksgiving, and prayer are often integrated with each other. Music is one of the pathways God has designed for each one of […]
WHO Is 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.
