READ MOREThere are several aspects to being filled with the Holy Spirit that we see in Scripture. We see these aspects in salvation, in service to the Lord God, and in the daily life of the believer. In the Old Testament, God would anoint or fill certain men with His Spirit for a specific time or a task. For instance, with young David in ...
READ MOREThe biblical phrase “remain steadfast” can be described as having an intense, unwavering desire to abide in Jesus. This is the attitude Christians are to have toward what Jesus spoke of in John 15:1-17, the parable of the vine and the branches. Followers of Christ are to be established, ready, immovable—faithful, regardless of the circumstances surrounding us. We see examples of this all throughout Scripture. Such as...
READ MOREA human body has many members with different functions, but only one head. Metaphorically speaking, the Church and Christ work together in a similar fashion. In the same way that the head directs the rest of the body in how to move, Christ also instructs His body, the Church. Ephesians 5:23 says, “For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body.”
READ MOREThe meaning behind “God’s grace is sufficient” is three-fold. In all areas of life where we fail, God’s amazing grace restores and renews and helps us to overcome the challenges we face. 2 Corinthians 3:5 tells us that our sufficiency is from God. God’s grace is sufficient for our sin problem, our weaknesses, and our Christian walk. Let’s first look at our...
READ MOREThe easy answer to how many prophecies did Jesus fulfill, is all of them. The more precise number according to scholars is 333. One of the miraculous things concerning the Old Testament is that we can clearly see one picture or example pointing to Jesus after the other throughout. Not one book of the Old Testament can be read without seeing something concerning the Messiah. Only Jesus meets all...
READ MOREThe Book of Romans was written by the Apostle Paul, a Jew and a Roman citizen. This is made clear in vs.1 and vs. 7 of chapter one as he writes, “Paul, a bondservant of Jesus Christ...To all who are in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints.” Paul, formerly known as Saul, was an opponent and persecutor of Christians until he met Jesus on the road to Damascus. Paul mentions his conversion to...
READ MOREIt is supremely evident that America was founded on Christian values. Part of the reason immigrants came to America was to seek out a place to create a government that would allow the freedom to worship, instead of having a religion forced on individuals by rulers and dictators. Here are some words from...
READ MOREThe term to covet means: Hebrew-hamad- to desire, to delight greatly in; Greek-zeloo- to burn with zeal, to be heated or boil with envy, hatred, anger. When we look at these terms and the way they are conveyed, to covet means more than to just want something. It is to want something someone else has with the desire for them to not have it, regardless of how that happens.
READ MOREChristian revival in the church is not something we make happen through planning an event and setting up a tent. True revival must first happen in the hearts of believers who desire oneness with the Lord God and pursue holiness with all their might. It's when men and women like this come together, as led by the Holy Spirit, that true revival in a church can begin to take place. Revival doesn't just happen by chance...
