Independence is celebrated today as a strength. The concept of total self-reliance is opposite to Biblical teaching (John 15:4-5). The Word of God clearly and repeatedly states that the source of the Christian’s strength is Christ Himself through the power available in the Holy Spirit. Secondly, fellowship with believers is indeed God’s desire for HisContinue reading “How to Overcome? Philippians 4 (30 min)”

What is Your Goal? Philippians 3 (22 min)
In my last post, I asked: Do you understand who Jesus Christ is from Father God’s view? The Father’s revelation of Christ is within God’s Word. It is important not to have someone else’s interpretation of who He is! What does God expect you to do with His Christ beyond believing in His message? PaulContinue reading “What is Your Goal? Philippians 3 (22 min)”
Who Is Christ? Philippians 2 (30 min)
In my last post, I asked: who is your God, and where are you on your walk of sanctification? Since the entire letter is focused on overcoming victoriously through the joy available in the LORD, this is an important question. If you are a believer who is agonizing over consuming anxiety, while there can beContinue reading “Who Is Christ? Philippians 2 (30 min)”

Humility in God’s Election (Romans 9)
It seems as though much of the world is in distress due to conflicts between and within nations, governments, social frameworks, faith groups, and families. There are many converging issues while approaching a dimly seen pinnacle from a human temporal perspective.

Seed Plot, The Preeminent in Our Place
Could it be true? What if a single human representative could successfully champion the human race? Could one man be the title-holder, the defender, the victor, the reigning champion who can never be defeated despite being fully human? Well, if one human’s actions could sentence the species, why couldn’t one redeem it? Seems logical, doesn’tContinue reading “Seed Plot, The Preeminent in Our Place”
His Way Is Truth and Humbles Me
Many people have heard the statement, “God doesn’t want religion, He wants a relationship”. I suspect that poses the question of how to have a relationship with a “Being” that exists outside the dimensions of time while we are physically limited to our geography and physical laws. Some doubt it is feasible to have companionship withContinue reading “His Way Is Truth and Humbles Me”

People in all walks ofContinue reading “Relationship Test”
Born to Run Against Horses
Do you believe God is who He says He is? How can you be assured of your eternity with Him without believing what He has said about Himself and you? When we try to explain God’s ways through human reason, we often are confronted by Scriptures that seem contradictory or are opposed to common sense;Continue reading “Born to Run Against Horses”
What’s the Difference? (17 – 20 min)
We often paraphrase or use metaphors, similes and even hyperbole to communicate to others. Our efforts are to ensure others understand the message being conveyed. There are different levels of understanding that we could categorize as knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, amalgamation of information, and discernment or judgment. The very first level of understanding is to gain knowledgeContinue reading “What’s the Difference? (17 – 20 min)”
