The Rock that Watches Your Back
"Moreover, brethren, I do not want you to be unaware that all our fathers were under the cloud, all passed through the sea, all were baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea, all ate the same spiritual food, and all drank the same spiritual drink. For they drank of that spiritual Rock …
Saints; With a Past
"Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived.

In The Wisdom of God, The World through Wisdom Did Not Know God
"For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God. For it is written: “I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, And bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.” Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? …

For the Body of Christ
"Therefore let us pursue the things which make for peace and the things by which one may edify another. Do not destroy the work of God for the sake of food. All things indeed are pure, but it is evil for the man who eats with offense. It is good neither to eat meat nor …
Justified by Faith… Peace With GOD
"Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: by whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

A Change of Mind
Saul of Tarsus was a Pharisee within Judaism. He hated Christ and Christianity; and did all that was in his power to exterminate what he considered to be a heretic bunch of deceived people.

Life Through His Name
There are many things people place as important, and top priority.

Loving Jesus; the Son of God
What does it mean to love Jesus; the Son of God? How does one show love for Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God? Do you desire fellowship with God? Jesus is asked by Judas, who is not Iscariot the betrayer, but a different Judas; "Lord, how is it that you will manifest Yourself …
Hearing God’s Words
First on the matter of "hearing". For some people; as we get older; the hearing starts to fade away. First it is certain tones and such, then sometimes gradually the rest of it fades, and sounds get more difficult to hear, and detect differences in sounds. Some people today just refuse to hear. Especially the …
All Night Prayer
Prayer is something many people talk about. Prayer: just what is it? Is prayer not one speaking with God? Can an unredeemed individual pray to a holy God; and get an answer?

Waiting for Years

Allow the Children
Children are special. It does not matter if they are "special needs" children or just as bright and healthy as one of us would like them to be. They are special, and need adult guidance, care, supervision, leadership, and discipline. All of those things. One day when Jesus was with His disciples some children were …
A Tormented Man
There are many tormented people in the world today. Some seem to be intelligent individuals, educated, wealthy, or maybe middle class, or poor who are tormented by their lives, and living.

Knowing the Scriptures
Some men have questioned Jesus on the teaching of the resurrection. These questions come from men who do not believe in the spiritual things.
