Sometimes I fear, due to what some call grace, that holiness is a forgotten quality within Christianity. We need the zeal of Phinehas in dealing with sin; starting with our own sins. Due to the deceptive, lying, personal aggrandizing of Balaam to make his own greed successful the Moabites came in with lusty pleasures to … Continue reading A Zeal for GOD, and Holiness
Be Clean, Be Pure
While we look at Leviticus, and the holiness of God we need to remember these are part of the work of the schoolmaster which leads us to Christ Jesus (Galatians 3:24-25), and "...we are no longer under a schoolmaster". We do learn from Leviticus and the Law, that GOD is holy; that we are called … Continue reading Be Clean, Be Pure
Keeping GOD’S Statutes and Judgments

Unrighteousness or Righteousness? – Romans 6:12-23
"Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

For sin shall not have dominion … Continue reading Unrighteousness or Righteousness? – Romans 6:12-23
The Sovereign Hand of God
"Who is he that saith, and it cometh to pass, when the Lord commandeth it not? Out of the mouth of the Most High proceedeth not evil and good? Wherefore doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sins? Let us search and try our ways, and turn again to the … Continue reading The Sovereign Hand of God
Understanding GOD’S Anger
We first must realize that GOD is holy, righteous, and just. There is no evil in Him, neither can He do evil. He is our creator. He has made all that is, and by Him all things consist (Colossians 1:17). He holds all things together. If He did not do so the Universe would fly … Continue reading Understanding GOD’S Anger
Defeat the Enemy
"O God, Thou hast cast us off, Thou hast scattered us, Thou hast been displeased; O turn Thyself to us again. Thou hast made the earth to tremble; Thou hast broken it: heal the breaches thereof; for it shaketh. Thou hast shewed Thy people hard things: Thou hast made us to drink the wine of astonishment. Thou hast … Continue reading Defeat the Enemy
Our Protection
There are many who are reliant for the government to protect us. Protect us from having no health care; protect us from a lethal threat from a gunman, or the terrorist who go to great lengths to terrorize, maim, and kill great numbers of people. Some even desire the government to protect us from poverty … Continue reading Our Protection

You Shall Be Holy
"And ye shall be holy unto Me: for I the LORD am holy, and have severed you from other people, that ye should be Mine." Leviticus 20:26 (KJV) I have not made it a secret, in past studies, that Leviticus is a book of the Bible which I am very uncomfortable with. Yet I have … Continue reading You Shall Be Holy
Is Holiness Still a Requirement of the Holy GOD?
"For I am the LORD your God: ye shall therefore sanctify yourselves, and ye shall be holy; for I am holy: neither shall ye defile yourselves with any manner of creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. For I am the LORD that bringeth you up out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: … Continue reading Is Holiness Still a Requirement of the Holy GOD?
The Land of Your Birth
I am the God of Bethel, where thou anointedst the pillar, and where thou vowedst a vow unto Me: now arise, get thee out from this land, and return unto the land of thy kindred. Genesis 31:13 (KJV) Laban, Jacob's father in law was beginning to get uneasy for Jacob to live with. God had … Continue reading The Land of Your Birth
Set Free
“What then? Shall we sin, because we are not under the law, but under grace? God forbid.

Zion’s Deliverance and Deliverer
“But upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
