Heaven and the Home of our Dreams

When you have had the privilege to have attended or been a part of several different denominational churches, you can learn much about the current state of religion.  Each one of these has its positive emphasis on the Holy Trinity and each with its shortcomings.  From the teachings and instruction given by these organizations and...

The Attitude of the Servant

For some time I have wondered after the meaning of Christ´s example that He set when He washed His disciples’ feet.  The message would seem obvious, but for a few words in John 13:12-17, it seems there may be a deeper and more wonderful spiritual truth buried here. Jesus turns to His Disciples, the ones... Continue Reading →

And They Didn´t Believe

There is an amazing thing that happens with the sacred scriptures.  Words written to instruct or help a people in a certain time can and do have the power to speak in an equally important way to another people in a completely different situation and a different age. John uses the words that Isaiah had... Continue Reading →

Virus in the Church

There is today within the church of our Lord, a deadly virus.  This terrible tragedy is attacking the would-be remnant and defenseless flock of Jesus.  The illness is not one however merely a physical one but a mental and spiritual one.  The soul destroying disease we speak of is the preoccupation the individual has with...

You Will See God´s Glory

Jesus said to her ¨Did I not tell you that if you believed you should see God´s glory? ¨ John 11:40 As usually the case Jesus exposes human propensity to bring all things down to our level and our understanding.  We walk here on earth as if God and His kingdom do not exist.  To...

John 11:25-26 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth on me, though he die, yet he shall live, and whosoever liveth and believeth on me shall never die. Believest thou this?

What a power packed text!  There is enough good hearty instruction here to set souls free and deliver them again into the hand of the One to whom we belong.  Long I have felt the importance and seen the beauty of this text.  But today I stopped while reading over it.  So many of the...

John 11:4 ¨This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God is glorified thereby. (American Standard Version)

True to the usual way of Jesus, when He spoke, the words addressed a common situation.  As we see continually throughout the Bible, men and women look with earthly eyes at the passing scenes and take always the physical and the common interpretations of those moments.  However Jesus was constantly trying to tell us and...

Those who would climb into the fold through another door

In reading the first verses of John 10 we can find a world of instruction. Jesus was explaining to those around Him that there were those who were missing the picture. A miracle was happening before their eyes, in that One from the other side had come to us to teach and restore us unto... Continue Reading →

Early Division within the Church

For many years I have quietly suffered over the divisions in the body of Christianity.  It seems such a shame that people, having the freedom to focus on anything they choose, prefer to direct their efforts not at the One whose name they use, but on any and all other issues that must pass before...

Are We Blind?

In reading the first verses of John 10 we can find a world of instruction. Jesus was explaining to those around Him that there were those who were missing the picture. A miracle was happening before their eyes, in that One from the other side had come to us to teach and restore us unto... Continue Reading →
