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 […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 10/11/2016
As I begin to write this update, I think back to all that has transpired in the last few years. A little less than a year after the beginning of the Arab Spring in the Middle East, the Lord spoke to Pastor R, the founder of House of Blessing, asking him to go over the border from Israel and begin […]
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 […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 12/15/2015 “It Continues!”
I cannot count how many times I have wished I was not 10,000 miles from where the things are happening that I have the privilege to chronicle. Today is another of those days! As I mentioned in the last update, I have been rereading the Book of the Acts of the Apostles. I have purposely been reading it slowly and […]
MIDEAST UPDATE, 10/13/2015
I think one of the things that has astounded me the most from the reports I receive from the Mideast, is the phenomenal response to the gospel of God’s love for the human race. As the chaos continues to escalate, the Christian missionaries are sought out even more for any help they can give, whether food, medicine, or a spiritual […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 10
Over the years I have met many people who have had a great struggle trying to forget their own past. In this part of this series, I would like to take some time to offer some Scriptural help to those who so often struggle with the despair that this torment brings. God’s Word does not leave us without the tools […]
THE BLOOD OF JESUS, Part 9
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 […]
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 […]
