"Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to [carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]—" Ephesians 3:20...
We continue with what the apostle Paul was speaking about concerning those whose work would be burned up.
“Deliver such a one to Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that his spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.” (1 Cor 5:5)
Who was the Apostle referring to here when he states...
“Each one’s work will become clear; for the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire; and the fire will test each one’s work, of what sort it is. If anyone’s work which he has built on it (the one true foundation) endures, he will receive a reward. If anyone’s work is burned, he...

House bill aims to sanction top Chinese officials; Detention centers located 10 mins from Olympics
A new bill introduced in the House looks to sanction thousands of China’s top officials, including Xi Jinping and his family. A quarantined journalist longs for a cup of coffee, after more than...
The "Laodicean spirit" runs freely through the Church today and has slowly lulled many to sleep. Thus they are not prepared. Our God has called us to "watch at His gate," and to "discern the times (Luke 12:56)." This permeating spirit masks itself cleverly and convinces many that they are "rich...
"It shall be, in regard to their inheritance, that I am their inheritance. You shall give them no possession in Israel, for I am their possession." - Ezekiel 44:28
Our inheritance is the Lord Himself. The Lord is desperately hungry for us to possess Him. Did you know the Lord wants you to...
"Now NO BLACKSMITH COULD BE FOUND in all the land of Israel, for the Philistines said, 'Otherwise the Hebrews will make swords or spears.' So all Israel went down to the Philistines, each to sharpen his plowshare, his mattock, his axe, and his hoe. The charge was two-thirds of a shekel for the...
Continued from our previous post.
It is apparent that some fell to produce the fruits necessary in order to make their calling and election sure because they fell to abide in the Lord, rather they allow the cares of this world, jobs, family, friends, ambitions and etc. to draw them away, and so...
In the Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins (Matt 25) our Lord mentions that both the wise AND the foolish were considered “virgins” what does this imply, what makes them all virgins?
They are virgins in that they have been sanctified by God, made holy and acceptable to Him through the...
Who specifically was the Apostle referring to here (beside himself), when speaking of being a “castaway” (1 Cor 9:27)?
I believe the answer to the first part of this question is found in the Apostles opening address to this Epistle.
“To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are...

Athletes competing in the Beijing Winter Olympics are faced with a challenge. And it's more than just the competition. Many are now stuck in a dilemma between winning medals and keeping their...
And He said to them all, "If any man will [willingly choose to] come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me." Luke 9:23
Each of us who desires to personally know and serve the Lord must first make this life-changing decision to "take up our cross." When we...

2 Corinthians 13:5 - "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you— unless indeed you fail the test?"
QUESTIONS TO ASK MYSELF:
Do I need to renew my vows today?
Do I need to come back to the...
Thus far we believe we have established,
1) that the typical Levites represented a class of individuals separate and distinct from the rest of the world, separated (i.e., sanctified, set apart) by God, and
