God says, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” This is God’s knowledge that was offered to them, but was rejected by them (Hosea 4: 6). But what knowledge exactly? It is nothing less than the knowledge of His thoughts that comprises the vision of His plan to fulfill His purpose of reproducing Himself…

Little children of God are mostly alive for what they can receive from their Father.  Churches are full of babes and little children wanting something from God for themselves. Don’t get me wrong.  I am not condemning them.  We all start out young, green, and self-centered babes in Christ, much like little natural babies.  We are…

I was asked by a reader of this blog this: “Do you help with addictions? I wrote the following… I can only tell you about how God cured my addictions [grass, acid, tobacco, booze]. I was looking for answers after surviving the war in Vietnam. Through Christ’s wonderful mercy, He saw past my drug-fueled life,…

The abiding comes after we win the mind-battles. We abide in Christ, and His Spirit dwells within us when our minds have won the thought-wars. But it is a battle in our minds. Satan attacks our thinking. He tries to occupy our minds with trivial, physical pursuits. Christ said to not think on food, clothing,…

Scripture calls Israel’s religious leaders “the shepherds of Israel.” Yet through the centuries these shepherds—rabbis, priests, pastors, ministers, prophets, and teachers—have failed to feed Yahweh’s flock with truth. They have concealed His identity, hidden His true name, and clouded His purpose of reproducing Himself in His elect. Another Gospel They replaced the true message with…

Wisdom is the main thing, but what exactly is it?  It seems so mystical, so ethereal, so other-worldly. It is just a little bit intimidating and mysterious when you try to figure out what wisdom is according to man’s conception of it.  Job 28:28 states, “…Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to…

[Turn on to any of the televangelists, any time of day or night, and the vast majority will be preaching the prosperity doctrine. Simply put, it goes like this: Support them with your dollars, and God will bless you financially in return.] As the Spirit of Truth shines more light into the “unsearchable riches of…

Growth. That’s what every living thing needs—especially Christians. To grow spiritually, we need clean spiritual food and water. But Christians are being fed false food and fetid water, if we are to believe the apostle Peter: “There will be false teachers among you, who will secretly bring in destructive heresies.” And “many shall follow their destructive ways…In their greed these…

It is not enough to believe that Christ died, was buried, and rose again. Scripture calls us to believe something far more personal: that our old Adamic nature died with Him, was buried with Him, and that by believing in His resurrection, we too are “raised to walk in newness of life” (Romans 6:4). This…

We surrender our lives to God, and He give us an “earnest,” a portion of His Spirit. And His Spirit of truth begins to reveal more and more truth to us, creating in our spirit a stockpile of truth—spiritual food, as it were, to feed others. In fact, at times our storehouses overflow, and we…
