God does love. God is love, and He is the God of all love. Love comes from Him. But He does not love everything and everybody in sin, the way they are. What God loves is what He made. Which includes the way He made it. What He made it to be and how He... Continue Reading →
Rapture
Not since Moses was given Torah (the Law) has there been so many people who knew the Law but were so far from it. Including most who call themselves believers. They will be staying for the Tribulation. It is this distance between people and God's Law that the Bible means when it speaks of lawlessness in... Continue Reading →
Alexander
It was Aristotle who taught Alexander to be the man you want to seem to others. I like to think of our own attempts to do this as the ideal man. We are told in Josephus that the Lord himself spoke to Alexander in a dream while he was in Macedonia, at Dios. He was... Continue Reading →
Identity
In our modernity it is often thought that having great wealth makes you a great man, that doing good makes you good, or that heroic deeds makes you a Hero. Nothing could be further from the Truth.
Covet
The shoes do not make the man, the car doesn't make the man, and your house does not define you. People of the world say those things, but they are not true. They think like that because they don't believe God. So they Covet. God makes the man! It is true that you should make... Continue Reading →

The modern rise of the Intellect and the academic learning it descends from have trained us to ignore our Conscience. Stepping both over and on our spirit which is our conscience, and the inherent...

In Whose Image
In any society there are elements that pressure people to conform, to not rock the boat, to be like everyone else. It's a lot like the big hydraulic presses and molds used in manufacturing. Continuous pressure is applied to a piece of metal until a car fender or part of a ship is formed. Conformed.... Continue Reading →
Peace
You can tell who is leading you by what you're being led by. One of the strongest indicators of God's presence is peace. It is also one of the ways the Lord leads us. If Jesus is your Lord you don't make decisions on your own, you involve Him. And you're glad to do it.... Continue Reading →
Destiny
Destiny is not you deciding what you want to do with your life and leaving God to work it out. That would put you at the center and make God your servant, as though He were here to promote your agenda or bring your plan to pass. Destiny is not for you to decide, it's... Continue Reading →
