Are people in heaven, those who have passed on before us, aware of anything that is taking place on earth? I heard a message on this today that sounds convincing. Check out Revelation 6:9-11 (NIV) “When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain...

Several friends have experienced, within the recent past, the loss of loved ones, including fathers, mothers, offspring, relatives and friends. There's a lot of grieving going on. "I could have done something to stop it. I should have done something. I should have seen it coming," is a common...

What is the makeup of a person? Spirit, soul and body? Or is the spirit and the soul the same thing as Billy Graham used to preach?

Love means so many things to so many people. To most of the world, love is tolerance -- tolerance for anyone's faults, opinions, lifestyle, and private activities. In Paul's prayer for the Phillipians (Phil. 1:9) he asked that their love would abound yet more and more in knowledge and in...

Even after being a Christian since ’72, I still wrestle, at times, with condemnation. I haven’t entirely gotten over choices I made in the past or incidences that aren’t easy to forget. For some of us, unpleasant reminders of our pasts keep popping up. We may find we have very little to tell...

In a day when the intent of most Christian gatherings is community above the building in each member of a strong doctrinal, error-free foundation, it is good to be reminded of the dangers of placing our trust in relationships. Sure, we are to love one another. We are encouraged to allow our...

In my Bible reading today, I came upon a verse that reminded me of another passage. Psalms 45:8 which speaks of the fragrances of the garments of the Bride of Christ (truth). They "smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia..." In contrast, speaking of the strange woman in Proverbs 7:17, she states...

I don't understand Trump's appointment of Paula White as his spiritual advisor. She and her last husband had a ministry here in Tampa called Without Walls, a totally TV oriented prosperity gospel based ministry. I just watched her walk up and down the stage declaring wherever she walks is holy...

Do you realize socialists have, for some time, infiltrated lots of religious assemblies? Just watch the Pope. He recently signed a one world religion agreement with an Islamic head. In fact, a number of so-called places of worship have completely turned their backs on Scripture as they celebrate...

Has a believer ever said to you, “You are making your life as a Christian too complex. You have lost the simplicity that is in Christ.” ( 2 Corinthians 11:3) That might be so, to a degree, but what about David’s admonition in Proverbs 1:22, “How long, ye simple ones, will ye love simplicity?”...

Lots of talk over the years has been on pre-trib and post-trib resurrection. There are even those who believe in numerous resurrections to come. As I view it, a group of believers will be taken out of the body of believers, known as the Bride of Christ, ones who know the Lord intimately. In...

Many writing tablets I have stored in boxes from my days when I sat under a systematic presentation of the first principles. The class of less than a dozen Bible students heard the same spoken teaching every day for five days, and on the sixth day, each of us stood before the class to present...

I heard Ravi Zacharias, one man of God whom I greatly esteem in the faith, once give the example of a young child taken into a doctor’s office by his mother to be given a shot by a physician. He imagined the boy saying, “Why has she led me to this place, into this building, where I am going to...

From the Amplified Bible: Philemon 6, “I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective and powerful because of your accurate knowledge of every good thing which is ours in Christ.” God wants the communication of our faith to become effectual by our acknowledgement of every good thing...

The promise of the life to come always affects the life that now is. Titus 2:11-13, “ For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; Looking...

Here’s another post regarding the principle of “faith toward God”. It is my attempt at providing a reasonable response to today’s prevailing faith teachers. Some of us were led to believe that reason is an enemy of faith, and at times, it is, when it is faulty. At the same time, we are...

Have many of you done a lengthy study of prophecy as told in Daniel, Ezekiel and throughout the Scriptures? I've been listening lately to a fellow on youtube, Les Feldick, an avid dispensationalist, who teaches verse by verse from Genesis to Revelation. I speed ahead at times in an attempt to...

I am reminded of the promise of John 14:12 that says we will do "greater works" than Jesus. What is this meaning? That we are to do more miracles, more feeding of the hungry, more healings.....or is it that we will simply be used to do more things because there will be more of us?
