Why Meekness is Not Weakness

From a Beyond Today update email: Why Meekness is Not Weakness Elephants are among the strongest animals on earth, powerful enough to carry huge logs or even uproot trees.

The true riches of God

Through the years I remember different people who according to the worlds abundance had very little yet they were so happy.

Why Christ Said, “Love Your Enemies”

We all have enemies.  We all have people who have wronged us, and it is so easy to be bitter against them.  But I never could understand until now why God admonishes us to pray for our enemies.  Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them…

The Quest of Faith

The Quest of Faith is the sacred fire of God burning within the souls of men. “The Lord had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will show thee …. And I will bless thee, and make thy name great.” Genesis 12:1-2 The…

Going against the flow

Jesus (Yahshua) did many things in which those around Him thought was going against the flow. When there was a man with a withered hand He was watched very closely to see if He would heal the man on the Sabbath day (Mark 3:1-6) And he entered again into the synagogue; and there was a man…

Gay Marriage–A Stench in God’s Nostrils

Idolatry, LGBTQ………Confusion of men, not of God

Gods word is not confusing, nor is He the author of confusion, but when men separate from Gods righteous ways there is confusion (1 Corinthians 14:33) For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints. CONFUSION, CONFOUND….. Aside from that which is normal, The inability to think clearly, Disoriented, Dumbfounded, Distorted, Disorder. Confusion among the people is nothing new, as we see when Paul taught the…

The Power of Grace

The Power of Grace If it were easy, if it were something we could do on our own… there would be no need for Grace. The hard sayings of Jesus are not only offensive to the natural man, but it is beyond the strength of man to walk in their wonder. We can either attempt…

God’s Elect Will Overcome the Tyranny of Technology

The realm of God’s government and kingdom is not found in a sound bite universe. Rather it is a  spiritual space filled with eternal themes, expressed in “thoughts of peace.” God speaks not in the quips and bits and memes of 21st Century technology. Far from it. His words ring down through the ages with instructions…

The Battle Worth Fighting

The good fight of faith is a battle any Christian will gladly fight for the Lord who has redeemed their soul so they will never see death and gain eternal life (1 Timothy 6:12) Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good…
