There are plenty of ideas out there about where Jesus was for the three days that His body lay in the grave. Some of these ideas seemed to have been pulled straight out of the imaginations of men with little to no scriptural support. Other ideas have been primarily founded […]

This is a discussion on thankfulness. It is something that I do not want any of us to be missing out on, or missing out on this overall mindset, this frame of mind. I’m going to be using the example of food and eating. And the reason for that is I think it’s […]
Consider the man Moses for a moment. Only a man with great courage could have brought God’s people out of the land of Egypt. But where did his courage come from? Was he a skilled military leader? How about a trained expert in communication and gifted in motivational speaking? Certainly, […]
The story of our ancestry has been contained for thousands of years in the word of God. The book of Genesis plainly gives us the account of mankind’s existence; how we all came from a single male and female. For those who trust in God as a provider of pure […]
As I am often asked this question (and others similar to it), I thought it would be good to do it some justice in the form of written articles, where I can record what I have found in the scriptures that pertain to this question. I see three bodies of […]
The statements: “I don’t love you anymore,” and “I think I married the wrong person” we all recognize. They are commonly said at the end of a failed marriage. It is no secret that many marriages fail in the world and a number of them fail among members of the […]
Sometimes, it seems, I hear more questions about satan than about Jesus. Who is satan? Where did he come from? And other questions sometimes involving the term “Lucifer” have been asked by many. I’d much rather hear the same people asking instead, who is Jesus? Where did Jesus come from? […]
“You, however, are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if in fact the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him.” (Romans 8:9). “Do you not know that you are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit […]
The miraculous gifts of the Spirit are certainly a topic that everybody is interested in, but if we are not careful with the scriptures, it can be a subject that we can get carried away with. The key points to get a handle on are these: What was promised/prophesied […]
What was the work of the Holy Spirit pertaining to Jesus while he was on the earth? A wide array of answers have been given, but there can only be one true answer and I intend to find it by the scriptures alone. The first thing that we must place […]
The intercession of the Spirit is not a big subject in the scriptures, in fact, it is covered in only one scripture. The fact that we have only one scripture that explains this topic demands that we consider this scripture with diligent carefulness, and understand it in light of the […]
What is the baptism of the Holy Spirit? This may be a very challenging question to answer. Those who do not have a good understanding of it will often answer this question with a matter of fact, one-word answer: salvation. I don’t know about you, but that answer leaves me […]
It is disheartening that so many Christians do not have a good grasp of what the church is. Some would simply define the church as “the people”, which is an incorrect answer that accomplishes two things: 1. It leaves much to self-interpretation and 2. It opens the floodgates of false […]
Biblically defining the word “Christian” is a much-needed discussion, for we are being flooded by today’s religious culture who misuse, misapply, and misunderstand the word “Christian”, and unfortunately, the church has never been immune to the influence of contemporary beliefs. This has been an ongoing battle for me, especially […]
The question, am I really doing God’s will, is not an easy one to answer. And it’s not because God was unclear concerning His will, for “His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us […]
