A brother writes: In John 18:36 our Lord is recorded as saying “My Kingdom is not of this world”; we take this to mean that the consecrated have no part in the affairs of this world, as it is not our time to do so. When the Church is complete (head and body) then we will meddle in the affairs of...

Paul’s teachings were neither hypocritical, nor paradoxical. The Fifth Commandment states that we are to honor our parents. Children are commanded to obey their parents even when they disagree with them. To obey their parents is to obey God. Let’s say a parent tells a child to steal, should the...

The calling on your life has made you a target. Indeed, the enemy is intensely jealous of the LOVE the Father has for you, and he hates you for having what he can never have. Yet, in the darkness of the night, you've endured the enemy's hatred and now the sunrise on your trial has nearly dawned...

2 Corinthians 5:7, "For we walk by faith, not by sight." Hebrews 11:1 gives the definition of faith, "Now faith brings our hopes into reality and becomes the foundation needed to acquire the things we long for. It is all the evidence required to prove what is still unseen" (The Passion...

Ephesians 3:16,19 - 16 "I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being...19—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God." The Lord wants you to see His power and His strength but He is also wanting you to see...

Pastor Wang Yi was arrested for preaching the gospel in China. He will serve over 10 years in prison and the government will confiscate his possessions. All for speaking of Christ and failing to conform to his countries demands to stop preaching. Should the people of China revolt and lay claim...

In our previous post we took a look at the “Simple Ones”, simple ones were simply naive, unlearned those complacent with ignorance. Now let us consider our next group, “scorners.” Scorners (or mockers) are outwardly critical of others and they find fault when offered good advice. Scorners are...

As mentioned in our previous post there are three failing categories mention in our text: “Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city (of Christendom) She speaks her words: “How long, you...

“Wisdom calls aloud outside; she raises her voice in the open squares. She cries out in the chief concourses, at the openings of the gates in the city. She speaks her words: “How long, you simple ones, will you love simplicity? For scorners delight in their scorning, and fools hate knowledge.”...

Philippians 3:10 - "That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection." Jesus said to Martha, "I am the resurrection and the life" (John 11:25). There is something different between saying you have faith and then being pressed into a tight corner and proving that you have faith. If you...

When entering a Masonic temple in the U.S. you will most likely find a pedestal or alter with a Bible placed upon it. Ceremonies are conducted and oaths are taken upon it. Freemasonry isn’t a religion yet it has religious attributes and claims roots in Biblical events. On the surface this may...

Awake and arise, for you have slumbered long enough on the bed of disappointment, rejection, pain, and abandonment. He will cause you to want to live, to declare the glory of the Lord your God in the land of this living. Cast aside everything that holds you back, whether it is a broken dream, a...

2 Corinthians 10:4 - "The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to tear down strongholds." Wherever a stronghold exists, it is a demonically induced pattern of thinking. Specifically, it is a "house made of thoughts" which has become a...

After further inquiring about the purpose of Freemasonry, I have been told it is designed to make, "good men, better". Before I can become accepted by the fraternity, I must have an extensive background check run, and meet with current members in my home. The purpose of this meeting is to get...

B.--If death is the penalty for sin, has not mankind paid that penalty in full when dead? Might he not be released from death the moment after dying, yet fully meet the demand of justice? A.--"The wages of sin is death,"--not dying, but "death" -- FOREVER. As well say we might say that a man...

B.--I begin to see a harmony and beauty connected with the introduction of evil which I had not suspected. May we not reasonably say that God could not have displayed those qualities of his nature so attractive to us--mercy and pity--nor could his great love have been made so apparent had not...

Viva la revolution! Our founder’s desires were perfectly professed, and like many prior calls for reform invoked God’s name, claiming his approval and backing of their actions. These men were attempting to obtain basic, fundamental rights they believed every citizen of the world is entitled to...

A WAY OF LIFE… That is how Masons describe what Freemasonry is about. As simple as it sounds on the surface, it becomes increasingly complicated the more I dig into the society of Free and Accepted Masons. On Tuesday nights I attend a local chess club. It is far from a fraternity, yet it is...

"Those who wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles, they shall run and not be weary, and they shall walk and not faint." - Isaiah 40:31 Eagles love the storm. The eagle uses the storm's wind to lift it higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm...
