How many religious organizations exist? How many Christian denominations exist? Is there only one denomination that has saving faith? Those who are deceived do not know they are. Hmmm. Let’s change the questions. What is the basis of my beliefs and how can I be assured that I am not deceived? How do I knowContinue reading “Taking Advice from the Beloved Disciple – 1John 2:25-29”

Taking Advice from the Beloved Disciple – 1John 1:1-5 (10 min)
People want to improve themselves and their circumstances. Ever since the Garden of Eden, humanity has grasped for more illumination. Jesus warned people saying, “… take heed that the light which is in you is not darkness.” (Luke 11:35) Clearly, the Lord indicated there is a luminousness that is good and another that is evil.Continue reading “Taking Advice from the Beloved Disciple – 1John 1:1-5 (10 min)”
Those who Have Ears to Hear (Romans 10)
Have you ever felt frustrated because you have been misunderstood and your attempts to reach someone have not been received despite the copious expressions through spoken word, written text, and actions? I have. Sometimes, I think that if I could just communicate an idea differently, my friend, family member, or acquaintance would understand and thenContinue reading “Those who Have Ears to Hear (Romans 10)”
No Condemnation in Christ – Romans 8, Part 1
I am so thankful that my eternity rests in the hands of my Father who is made a covenant with me that He cannot break without ceasing to be what He has declared about Himself in His Word. Consider that for a moment. If God breaks His covenant to bring those whom He has redeemedContinue reading “No Condemnation in Christ – Romans 8, Part 1”
Can You Stand to Be Blessed?
How would you define a blessed person? Is it having great wealth, good health, a loving family, trustworthy friends, and favour in society? I certainly think those things can be blessings, but depending on the effects on you (or your development), they may not be. What about people who have all of those things, but do not know Christ?Continue reading “Can You Stand to Be Blessed?”
The Benevolent Covenant of Grace is His Binding Commitment (Part 2)
This is the second part of my study in Romans 4. Last time we looked at how Abraham was saved by grace through faith; and yes, based on Scripture, that faith was in Jesus Christ. While that is absolutely amazing, it is not impossible for eternal God (who is not limited to our space-time, orContinue reading “The Benevolent Covenant of Grace is His Binding Commitment (Part 2)”
Faithful are the Oracles of God
Ever wonder what is the point of all the difficulties a believer faces when pushing back darkness? While navigating through struggles, unpleasant experiences, trying relationships, and anticipating the challenges we see ahead, it is easy to wonder if fulfilling responsibilities and maintaining Godly attitudes have meaningful impacts and lasting consequences. Being holy and loving inContinue reading “Faithful are the Oracles of God”
The Just
For God to be good and have a relationship with us based on mutual love, He had to give humanity a choice. So, God created our species in His Image, made us perfect (knowing only good), and provided everything needed to succeed including perfect direction (and what to avoid). Then He gave us liberty; theContinue reading “The Just”
Two Kingdoms, Two Women, One War
Spiritual warfare comes to every believer regardless of how we react; it is unavoidable. With believers dedicating so much effort to walking in love and living quiet, peaceable lives, some might wonder why battles find them. It seems to me that as long as we are living in this body, battles will come looking for usContinue reading “Two Kingdoms, Two Women, One War”
Freedom Convoy 2022 Scripturally (5 min)
So it is January 31st in Canada and there is a lot going on. Interestingly enough I am studying Ephesians 6 which speaks so much about spiritual warfare and standing firm. Discernment is needed to apply both in every situation. It will be some time before I finish my in-depth study of this passage; but,Continue reading “Freedom Convoy 2022 Scripturally (5 min)”
