“Therefore it behoves the men having accompanied us during all the time that the Lord Jesus came in and went out among us, having begun from the baptism of John until the day in which He was taken up from us, one of these, to become a witness with us of His resurrection.” And they...

The Parable of the Ten Virgins.
In this study we examine the salvation of God that is mainly demonstrated through the process of building a house, from its foundation to its expected usefulness. Paul said, “You also have been put to death to the Law through the body of Christ, for you to belong to another, to the One having been raised out from the dead, so that we should bear fruit to God.” Romans 7 verse 4. And it is this expectation of fruit which is according to the New Nature that is addressed in the Parable of the Ten Virgins. As such the parable illustrates the responsibility of each believer to pursue the things of the Spirit, and the pitfalls that await those who are negligent.
Grace Into Lewdness!
The letters of Peter in 2 Peter 2 and Jude have been a source of misunderstanding within the body of Christ especially in the regards to the application of Grace. So the verse “ungodly ones changing the grace of our God into sensuality,” have been used as a fear-mongering tool to devalue the message of Grace and to supplement it with the teaching of Law. However the only means to deal with Sin is through absolute, unbound, unrestrained Grace.
A Guarantee for the Living and the Dead!
This discussion emphasizes the significance of Christ's resurrection in a natural body, underscoring its implications for all humanity. It argues that His resurrection not only signifies believers' future glorification but also provides assurance of judgment and resurrection for the unjust. Ultimately, Christ's victory over sin and death restores hope for both flesh-mankind and spirit-mankind.
Is Fasting Law?
“And He said to them, “Because of your little faith. For truly I say to you, if you have faith as of a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. And nothing will be impossible for you. [But this kind does not come out except... Continue Reading →
Abraham’s Self Confidence!
“Now Sarai, Abram’s wife, had borne him no children. And she had an Egyptian maidservant whose name was Hagar. So Sarai said to Abram, “See now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing children. Please, go in to my maid; perhaps I shall obtain children by her.” And Abram heeded the voice of Sarai.” Genesis... Continue Reading →
Sabbath Rest!
“Or have you not read in the law that on the Sabbath the priests in the temple profane the Sabbath, and are guiltless? But I say to you that a greater than the temple is here.” Matthew 12:6 Jeremiah described the Sabbath as a day no one should bear any burden or do any work.... Continue Reading →
The Holy Spirit Convicts of Sin?
The Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin to bring awareness of their fallen state, particularly due to unbelief in Christ. Unlike condemnation, conviction prompts realization and the desire for mercy. The crux lies in understanding that rejection of Christ bears heavier consequences than sin itself, emphasizing the importance of faith and divine grace.
You Already Have It!
The Lord said the devil comes to steal and since the devil cannot steal what we do not have, it must mean that we must already have it. Therefore he steals; he steals our healing, he steals our peace, he steals from what God has already freely given to us in Christ. “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the One having blessed us in Christ with EVERY spiritual blessing in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 1:3
The Seed of the Woman!
“And enmity I put between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her Seed; He doth bruise thee -- the head, and thou dost bruise him -- the heel.” Genesis 3:15
