Come, all of you who are weary with being a part of this wicked world and who are heavy laden under the bondage of sin… let us all return to the Lord in haste! For in His wrathful wisdom, He has torn we sinners to pieces; yet now, because of the blood of Christ, He will heal […]
Let’s consider the old covenant for a moment. So if the priesthood of Levi, on which the law of Moses was based, could have achieved the perfection God intended, why did God then need to establish a different priesthood, with a new type of Priest who was in the order of Melchizedek, instead of the […]
Don’t ever forget that we Gentiles used to be outsiders, and ‘objects of wrath’. We were called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who are proud of their physical ‘circumcision’, even though it affects only their bodies and not their hearts. And to be fair, it was true: in those days we were living apart from […]
Please let me explain a little about the spiritual reasons as to why works will never count towards salvation unto eternal life… here it goes. People of the world who do not know Jesus (or about anything of His kingdom) yet believe that they will inherit heaven when they die, because they see themselves as […]
Let me ask you this one question: Did you receive the Holy Spirit by obeying the law of Moses? Of course you didn’t! You received the Spirit because you believed the message you heard about Christ.

God’s version of right and wrong, and humanity’s version of them are really very different. Why is that, you might ask?

We however, as corrupted beings, are viewing right and wrong from the stance of the transgressors of […]
The bible compels us to realise that the Spirit ALONE gives eternal life; human effort accomplishes nothing in itself in this regard. The very words Jesus spoke to us are both Spirit and life. If you belong to Him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads […]
The Lord gave me this title to write about, but I’ll admit to you the reader that I’m actually fairly wary of speaking about this incredibly complex subject, for I don’t think there’s even be one person in the world (that I know of, at least) that to my mind has a truly well informed […]
For all his faults, I also like this quote from Martin Luther, the great reformer of the church a few hundred years ago. He stated that a truly saving faith is, “a living, creative, active and powerful thing, this faith. Faith cannot help doing good works constantly. It doesn’t stop to ask if good works […]
Dear friends, it shouldn’t be surprising to any of us that there are ‘fiery’ trials to go through, especially when we follow Jesus as His genuinely committed disciples, for He made it as clear as day in His word that the rest of the world will hate us in the same way that it also […]
