There are seasons when the battlefield of the mind feels relentless. Thoughts rise like storm winds, swirling through our grey matter with a force that seems beyond our control. Scripture is clear that such mental assaults are not imagined; they are part of the enemy’s strategy. “The devil…walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he…

I almost died in a car wreck the other day.  I was on the four lane topping a hill, when I looked for just a half-second at the radio.  And as I crested the rise, something had me look up, and there the pickup truck was, moving slowly in front of me.  I swerved to…

“Love is the fulfilling of the law.” Which law? The Ten Commandments, the breaking of which constitutes the definition of sin (I John 3: 4; Rom. 13: 8-10). Which “love” is it then? It is the love from above–agape love. It is only through agape love that the law can be kept. Natural man without this love cannot keep…

The chapter opens by declaring that the thoughts and intents of the Father’s heart are eternal—without beginning, without end, and without alteration. God’s purpose has never wavered across the ages; it is everlasting, unchanging, and certain to reach its fulfillment both in heaven and on earth. His purpose is the very definition of “eternal,” and…

This world has one major need right now at the beginning of the 21st Century.  The world doesn’t need another politician telling the people what they want to hear.  The world doesn’t need a steady robust economy to help it through the hard times that have been prophesied upon it.  No.  The world needs the sons…

Christ, the exiled King of the universe, is coming back to this earth to fully establish His government. He will be reigning and ruling through a body of chosen humans, a cadre numbering a few thousand (Revelation 7, 14). The whole creation is waiting “for the manifestation of the sons and daughters of God” (Rom.…

The Spirit of truth does not dwell where sin still reigns Sin must die on the cross with Christ before the Spirit of truth will dwell and abide in us. Yet sin is one of the most sensitive subjects—guilt, desperation, shame, and fear often accompany it. Few understand its scriptural definition: “Sin is the transgression…

Seventy-five years on the planet gives me perspective on the nation’s decline into darkness. I have seen the degrading of almost everything in our society. Take music. Secular love songs from 60-70 years ago were about the pains and joys of the heart. Now they are of the “lusts of the flesh.” Economics? Our dollar…

It always comes down to the sin question.  The Savior is not going to let us slide on this point. “Sin is the transgression of the law.”   Breaking one of the Ten Commandments is the scriptural definition (I John 3: 4).  We all have in the past broken them, but are we still breaking them?…

God’s Last‑Day “Special Treasure” He has a special treasure hidden in the earth. They are a chosen people whom He watches with keen attention as they walk through this world. He takes special note of them. O, that God would remember us! There is a way for these special ones to be in God’s memory.…
