There has been much said about "the Keys" of the Kingdom in various threads and I would like to use the Word of God to establish the Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus gave Peter is not Authority and Power over the "government" of His Church. That alone rests in the hands of Jesus Christ...

Church: The Thing Charles Elliott Newbold, Jr. We were few in number as we sat comfortably face to face in the living room of a godly couple's house. I had something to share that Wednesday night. It was the first and most significant revelation that I had received from the Holy Spirit since my...

What is suppose to connect Believers in Christ together? Answer: His Life in us. There is only One Body. Therefore, God only has one habitation. Yet, there are many members of this One Body. As we join ourselves to Him in truth and love then we are joined to others who honor and love Him...

Alan's statement here, that Christ died spiritually reminded me of a teaching I heard in the 80's by E.W. Kenyon on the Redemptive Suffering of Christ in which he posits that Christ died not only physically but spiritually. This was very controversial back then and was widespread amongst...

Their spoken word and written word is the same. 1 Thess 2:1 - Paul reminded the church in Thessalonica that "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word...

Jesus is the source of truth. The Church did not authenticate the mission of Jesus or His message. I don't think the Jewish priests and scribes were gladly verifying Jesus' claims and teachings. So, how were His teachings authenticated and confirmed as from God? 1. Jesus did not expect...

For believers, there are bad times and then there are BAD times. A recession is not a bad time; it is an inconvenience.Recession? Probably. We’ll get through it. DEPRESSION? Could be. But it will be good for the character of the church.­­ Or Worse? Yes, something worse is coming. I clearly...

Immaculate Conception - Sinless Life If one undertakes a thorough study of the Old and New Testament they will find not find any information about Mary's birth, her parents, her childhood and most anything else. The Early Church Apostles and Saints knew nothing of Mary's origins, mainly because...

The Evolving Doctrine of Mary A Case Study in the Progression of Error By Randy Blackaby Mary, the mother of Jesus, is one of the most interesting and important women found in Scripture. The Bible describes her magnificent faith from the time she becomes pregnant until she stands at the foot...

Amidst pictures of the ailing condition of the Pope, news of an intense power struggle within the Vatican has overflowed publicly. The serious difficulties reveal ongoing financial corruption a midst ruthless infighting. These latest revelations regarding the affairs of the Vatican Bank are not...

http://biblia.com/books/kjv/Lu6.16Part I - Guidelines for Revelation, today. Many think that Apostolic Revelation since Jesus' time has continued and therefore this continuiing "revelation" is equal with revelation given the Apostles and Prophets. Is there new revelation given each century...

I like God's internal stamp of approval and authentication of the 66 books of the Bible. He did this to prevent "tampering" and deception. (see my link at the very end if you don't want to read this). The first 39 books of Isaiah in many ways parallel with the first 39 books of the OT. The...

Many Christians say, "God only requires one to be righteous. His Son". The thought goes that since He is righteous, God does not require me to be righteous. This is a typical response coming from Christendom, today. Does God require men to be righteous? Here many Christians would respond...

I believe righteousness is the basic quality of God’s character and His character is to be formed in man. For the righteous LORD loveth righteousness; his countenance doth behold the upright. Psalm 11:7 The formation of His righteousness does not come instantaneously. For this reason Jesus...

GOD TESTS THE HEART OF EVERYTHING HE CREATES Genesis 1:26 -- In the beginning the Bible tells us that Adam was created in the image of God. I believe he had a total innocence and a pure heart with no impure motives. He was holy and blameless and that is why he had close, unbroken fellowship...

Most people who profess to be Christians and to be born again do not really know Jesus and never have. The reason for this condition is that the ministries that have presented salvation to the people are in the flesh. They are sensual and worldly and view everything in the Bible through natural...

A.W. Tozer - “There is an evil, which in its effect on the Christian religion, may be more destructive than Communism, Romanism, and Liberalism combined. It is the glaring disparity between theology and practice among professing Christians. So wide is this gulf between theory and practice in...

...that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified. (Isaiah 61:3b) We need to bring truth back into Biblical perspective. I am convinced that truth overly emphasized to the neglect of other truths can lead one into error. It is time for the...

Can Seals Be Broken? Eph 1:13 In whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise, Paul's is using an analogy of a "sealed document" back then. When you sealed a...
