Treat Your Enemies Well

I am sure you have heard the expression “keep you friends close and your enemies closer”. This is somewhat close to what Jesus said about loving your enemies and treating them well. Although, in human thought we can see that we would be deceiving our enemies by keeping them closer. In the teaching of Jesus, we are actually to bring them closer in order to guide them into the kingdom of God. In reality, it is harder to do evil to someone who is treating you with respect and helping you with your needs than someone who is fighting you at every turn. We are to pray for our enemies, treat them fairly, feed them when they are hungry, bind up their wounds and care for them when they are in need. You can’t demonstrate the...

My People Perish For Lack Of Knowledge

The Word of God tells us that to be "forewarned is to be forearmed", and that "My people perish for lack of knowledge." If we are not rooted and grounded in the Word of God, we leave ourselves vulnerable and open to deception of every whim of man's imagination that comes down the road. My hubby and I both recently sent out an article to expose the false teaching of "universalism" (the belief that there are many paths to God, as opposed to one way through Jesus Christ) that has been proclaimed by many, including our President. Another such proclamation concerns the false teaching of Collective Salvation. My intention is not to use this as an opportunity to bash our President, but to help make each of us that much more...

Universalism

When contemplating writing about the abominations we are currently seeing develop in the world, I was discussing it with my wife. She found the following article on the internet. When I read it I realized that it was exactly what I wanted to say. Since I couldn’t say it better I include it here. “The False Doctrine of Universalism" The other day on the radio, I heard a very well known Bible teacher make the comment that the doctrine of Universalism has now spread into the conservative end of Christianity. When he said that, I just about fell out of my chair, as I thought the conservative end of the Body would be the absolute last ones to fall for such a demonic lie and doctrine. As we all know, this false doctrine...

Jesus, THE Christ

It may be that I am too critical about some things, but this has bothered me for years. Most people I know say Jesus Christ, leaving out His middle name. He began as Jesus of Nazareth and throughout His lifetime this is how He was known. Only a few knew Him as Messiah or Christ. A few more called Him Lord. How do you think of Jesus when you say His name? When we read the Bible, we must realize that it means what it says. For instance; most people don’t know who the first evangelist was. The first one sent out with a commission to preach was the Gadarine Demoniac. He was told, by Jesus, to spread the word about Him. Any idea as to who was the first ‘Born Again ’ Christian? It was the thief on the cross beside...

Harden Not Your Heart

First, what does it mean to harden your heart? Have any of you experienced moments in your life when you personally became so stubborn, hard headed, and self-willed that you insisted on getting your own way no matter what evidence was produced that you were headed in the wrong direction? I think of the array of books that have been written on how to deal with the “strong willed” child. I can only imagine how it must be for God in dealing with the “strong-willed” child within each of us. Then the thought of how in the world could God have loved each of us, even as we are so puffed up in our own individual self-will, that He would still be willing to send His Son to die for and save us from our sins and the destruction...
