As has been made clear through this series on the uniqueness of the Blood of Jesus, we, the human race, cannot EARN our salvation. We have looked at Scriptures showing the importance of allowing the Spirit of God to rule in our lives as LORD so that we can evidence the freedom bought for us at the cross of Calvary. […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 9/12/2015
The outpouring of God’s Spirit around the world today is truly amazing. I read of the mighty things happening in some of the most difficult places on earth and one can only bow the knee and thank our Father in heaven for His matchless love for mankind. In this world where chaos is becoming the order of the day, in […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 8
In Part 7 we saw that the blood of Jesus not only made it possible for us to be forgiven–totally forgiven, of the many individual acts of sin that we commit, but also the corruption of the sin nature that we are all born with at birth. We also learned that not only did Jesus die in our place on […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 8/27/2015
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 […]
