In the tenth chapter of Hebrews we find these words: “…let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for He who promised is faithful. And let us consider one […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 7
Earlier in this study we read a Scripture that undoubtedly offended the people He was teaching, especially the Scribes and Pharisees, more than anything else He said. I would like to take another look at it at this time. It is found in John 6:53-59: Then Jesus said unto them: “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless you eat the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/18/2015
As anyone knows that keeps up on the world news, the warring going on in the Middle East has not slowed in the least. If anything, it continues to escalate. Many nations are represented by the military forces opposing each other. In Syria the figure of the dead since the civil war began in March of 2011 varies. The Syrian […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 6
We read in Scripture many things that man, in his limited capacity to understand, will find difficult to accept as truth. One of the most common is the birth of Messiah Jesus to a young Jewish virgin named Mary. Many see this as nothing more than a religious fantasy or fairy tale. Others throughout the centuries have said that this […]
BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 5
In previous parts of this series on the Blood of Jesus we have looked at a sampling of Scriptures from Genesis to the Book of Revelation. It was not an exhaustive sample but gave us an idea of the importance of blood in the storyline God gives us from the creation of Adam through the return of Jesus as KING […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/10/2015
It has been a bit longer than normal since the last update and there is much to tell. As previous updates clearly recounted, the Muslim month of Ramadan ended with many thousands of people having become followers of Jesus, the true Messiah. Among multitudes of Muslim people today there is a great craving to know the real truth. In the […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 4
(Note: All Scriptures are in the New King James Version unless indicated differently) We have come to the place in this study where we will look at how the symbolism of the sacrificial system in the Old Testament is fulfilled in the New Testament in the blood of Jesus. The Old Testament sacrificial system that God set up with the […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 3
Many people avoid reading the Old Testament and yet it provides some absolutely fascinating reading. The true accounts, which are verified in many ancient writings in addition to the Bible itself, show us the intimate involvement of our Creator with the human race, His prized creation. In Part 2 of this study on the Blood of Jesus, we began tracing […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 7/27/2015
Then the word of God spread, and the number of the disciples multiplied greatly in Jerusalem, and a great many of the priests were obedient to the faith. (Acts 6:7 NKJV) This very thing has been happening in the Middle East today! In the Book of the Acts, we find the early rains of the Holy Spirit being poured out […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 2
I strongly believe that the Bible must always be taken literally unless the context makes it clear otherwise. We must understand that concepts are being taught in the Word of God about the Blood of Christ, the most unique Blood in the entire universe. For the purpose of salvation of man, this Blood is much more than a biological substance. […]
