In part one we saw that the offspring of God have their origins from above and not from this world.  They are the sons and daughters of God; they are princes and princesses whose Father is the King.  They are true Christians. They will realize that they are put here by a Being that is…

The phrase “kingdom of God” has been used so much by so many people from so many different religious backgrounds that its real meaning may have been lost.  Heretofore, most  have understood the phrase to mean “God’s kingdom,” or the kingdom that belongs to Him.  And this is true, it does belong to Him and…

The prosperity doctrine is everywhere. It’s like a spiritual virus floating in the ether. That means that all of us should watch out that we are not infected by this insidious doctrine. Some will say, “Well, I don’t follow those TV evangelists who promote the prosperity doctrine.” That’s a good start. But just examine your…

Step Three that we are taking is obtaining the knowledge of what the essence of the Godhead truly is. We absolutely must know in a fuller way just who the true Supreme being is. We may think that we already know who He is, yet Paul says that godliness is a great mystery. If “few…

When the Spirit of Christ says through Peter, “Add to your faith” certain attributes, He is not saying that we must add them in order to be saved.
