Here is a study to help people in the various Hebraic style movements to learn of Christ and who He really is. There seems to be a trend to deny the deity of Jesus Christ...and this because of a legalistic view of God and His covenants that would negate that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. I...

Have you ever read a verse in the bible and saw new meaning in it as if you were reading it for the first time? Even though you had read it many times before? There are layers of meaning in the bible....especially in the OT....since the gospel was truly hidden at that time. But not so hidden...

Greetings to all, We are to be stewards of a great mystery. The mystery of God's grace towards men. Many will say that this isn't such a mystery but this is to miss the depth of the truth and the power it has over our lives. So often we use the word bluntly as if we are playing with plastic...

What Does It Mean to be Dead in Christ? 2 Cor. 4:10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. What does it mean to be dead in Christ? We see that the pathway to life in Christ is through His death. But in what...

Holiness is based on LIFE from heaven...the life of Jesus Christ IN us. But what of the law of sin that is in us? Is it not like the law of gravity that keeps us in bondage to this world through sin? YES! But there is a new law that is come through the resurrection life of Jesus. It is the law...

We begin with a small deposit of grace...like a sample. This is the first deposit which is Christ in us the "hope" of glory (but not the glory itself). But to get the full measure we need to go to God...to seek His presence. We still need to enter INTO Christ. God will not give us the death and...

We all have the same access to the death of Christ. He atoned for the sins of the whole world. That includes the past. But we have access to much more than that by entering into Christ. He was raised from the dead for OUR justification....we who are believers. How? We are justified by...

We often see it in others...but not in ourselves. We, being human, come to Christ in the same basic condition as all men...used to our old lives and old way of seeing things...even WITH the truth! We need renewing in our minds! We all have a tendency of keeping our lives orderly (this goes...

Jesus asked...do you not know the sign of the times? When discussing what is happening in the church and in the world we need to understand the forces that undergird the modern society. I have started this thread to look at what has come to be known as...modernity. What is the basis of this...

Mat_7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. Most (even true) Christians experience the first but are entirely ignorant of the way in Christ that is meant to follow. This is the sign of the times where the middle class...

John 1:29 29 The next day he *saw Jesus coming to him and *said, “Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world! Jesus has come in the flesh...not to cover sins but take them away...remove them. The Greek word Airo is used to describe what Jesus does with sins.... Other...

Sunday morning sermons, Bible studies, personal devotions, they’re all a waste of time. Why? Because these sorts of activities try to teach us about the peculiar sort of life Jesus called his followers to live. While that may sound like a good and important endeavor, it’s really a waste of time...

Joh 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: Joh 1:13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. Joh 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us...

I "lifted" this from another site I'm on. It goes a long way in explaining the actual reality of salvation. Salvation Salvation is a large concept in scripture. Noah was “saved” from the floodwaters but 350 years later he was not saved from death. David was saved many times from Saul but...

Romans 6:18 and having been freed from sin, you became slaves of righteousness. Do we think we are free from the consequences of sin...or from sin itself? Are we truly bondslaves of Jesus Christ..or do we just exploit Jesus for the benefits without the full surrender? 1401 doúlos (a masculine...

I am starting this thread for those who wish to post about their own experiences in reaching out to the lost...the rejected ones of society. I am doing this first for brother Dave but for any one else who wishes to share of their experience. Has anyone ever ministered to the lost,,,either...

...is basically the same as the world...both going down in a downward spiral. Is the answer more of man inspired evangelism we see so much of? Who brings more furniture into a burning building? Or perhaps we think the fire will be put out from the wind as Jesus spits the church out of His...

People are always looking for the easiest way...the way that is easiest for the flesh to emulate. Romans 8 is very misunderstood by most. We have some great exhortations that are missed...but stand as real markers to the standard of the risen in Christ. Rom 8:10 And if Christ be in you, the...

Who has an ear to hear what Jesus is saying to the church in our own time? Rev 3:14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God; Rev 3:15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold...
