A Sound Heart

If you read the bible closely you will discover that those who allowed the god of fear to rule their lives missed divine blessings.  If you read the bible closely you will discover that fear is not a benign power.  Fear is a living reality for many of the people of God.  It is the idolatry of fear that keeps many of God's people stuck in colorless and boring lives.  They fear moving out for God be...

The Word of God is the only counseling source for believers.  Yes, one may use human sources for counseling, but they lack substantive depth and power.  The Word of God, however, contains the necessary power and depth of meaning to substantively change the hearts of believers.  We must love our enemies or we will be stuck in defeat.  Love means a change of attitude that sets us free from a constel...

Abraham is extraordinary because of his Faith toward Yahweh.  Abraham is extraordinary because he learned not to depend upon human empiricism.  Abraham is extraordinary because he dared to depend upon the veracity of Yahweh when it would have been sensible to rely on himself.  Abraham knew that the only way to please Yahweh was to surrender up to Him the will of the flesh.  Abraham is the theologi...

Please do not believe or listen to the extra-biblical definitions of Faith.  Extra-biblical definitions of Faith are devoid of biblical content!  They are merely philosophical and carry no real meaning or depth.  The writer of the book of Hebrews candidly states that "without faith it is impossible to please Him (God).  Believers must therefore understand the biblical definition of Faith and know...

God provided adequate examples for people so that they would know that at some point judgement will come upon the world.  There are those who dismiss such claims and decry the evidence and facts of the biblical documents and the findings of ancient Near eastern archaeology.  They will not believe in the existence of God and that Jesus is the Son of God.  They refuse to consider the formidible evid...

The Blood of Jesus paid the price of the outraged holiness of God toward sin.  Jesus gave His life so that we could have eternal life through his sacrifice.  The Blood of Jesus did not merely cover sin.  The Blood of Jesus took away sin!  We have been given eternal life because of the gift of Grace.  No man can buy salvation, it is God's gift to us.  The Church of Jesus is not appointed to suffer...

Jesus and the writers of the biblical documents warned that false prophets would arise during the last days of this age.  Paul warned that the Man of Sin the Son of Perdition (Destruction) would not happen until the great apostasy at the end of this age.  Yet false prophets are teaching that the Tribulation Period has already started.  This is not the truth.  Study the biblical documents and learn...

Many of thise who have believed in Jesus are unable to follow Him because they have not crucified the ego-flesh.  They are baffled and taken aback by their own failure to take up the cross and follow Jesus.  They have never been properly taught how to put to death once and for all the the ego-flesh.  One will search in vain today for a deep theology that will address the necessity of putting to de...

Jesus is our savior.  He gave his life that we may have life (Gk. Zoe).  Without the sacrificial death of Jesus on our behalf we would remain dead in trespasses and sins.  Without Jesus there is no justification by faith, and a  glorious eternal destiny in the very presence of God (Theos). If you do not have a relationship with Jesus it is time to come to him, and if you do it is time to live as t...

The world does not let us rest.  Jesus promises rest to those who come to Him.  He promises to lift up and bear away the burdens that weigh down the soul.  Only He can make such a promise to weary souls and set them free.  However, those who would experience His rest must to Him and believe that He give a brand new life.  For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, and that whos...

One of the greatest weapons of the enemy is discouragement.  Discouragement can wound the heart fasten the heart of the believer to the malaise of doubt.  The enemy does not care about you and me.  He only loves to see us wallowing  in discouragement and defeat.  If you are struggling with discouragement its hard to pick up your Bible and find the answer that you need.  Therefore it is necessary f...

The Apostle Paul was a wonderfully mature believer.  He knew that believing ones who have sinned require the powerful medicine of Grace, not human psychotherapy.  Paul knew that we are complete in Him (Jesus), and that Grace would heal the soul that has suffered spiritual injury.  Paul never taught that one should tolerate sin or compromise with the presence of sin in one's life.  He also knew tha...

In the Last days the wild beast will appear after the great falling away of the church.  You see, the visible church will keep its outward form, but people within it will not put up with sound doctrine.  They will heap to themselves teachers that will only tickle their ears with apostate teachings.  During this frightening time the wild beast will appear.  The beast will love nothing or no one but...

In the Age of Relativism what is, is right.  In the Age of Iconic Self-Interest only the deified self is of Untimate Concern.  In the Age of the Absurd people have been conditioned to believe that they may judge without consequence to themselves even the Word of the Son of God.  The Word of Jesus is no longer real to such people.  The People of the Lie find the Word of Jesus intolerable, and there...

According to the biblical documents in the Last Days terrible times will come.  The Last Days will be defined by the worship of the self.  Militant post-humanism will discard any notion of God and righteousness.  People will seek out teachers that will please their egos.  They will only hear those who have a demonic message of selfishness, and morbid indulgence.  One day the Holy Spirit of God wil...

The northern kingdom of Israel was destroyed by Yahweh because it followed pagan religion customs.  One of the most terrible customs of the city-states that were embedded in the promised land was the cult of infant sacrifice.  Babies were placed upon an altar that was glowing hot, and drums were played in order to drown out the screams of the babies!  This ancient form of worship is still practise...

The people of Yahweh were terribly oppressed by a pharoah that did not know Joseph.  This pharoah abused the people of Yahweh because he feared that if a foe attempted to northwestern frontier the people of Yahweh would unite with them in a confederacy to overthrow his nation. Yahweh raised up a young prince of Egypt to lead his people out of bondage.  His name was Moses.  He would become one of t...

The call of Yahweh is intrinsic to His will within the the lives of certain individuals.  Those who ae called by Yahweh must do His will for their lives.  In fact, to resist His will is active rebellion against eh known will of God.  God does not relent nor does He repent of the call to those whom He has chosen.

The call narratives present the irrevocable call of Yahweh upon the lives of believing ones.  Believers may not immediately like, or embrace the call of Yahweh, but no one called of Him may not decide to obey His Word.  The call of Yahweh may not be negotiated or executed according to the will of man. Indeed, the one called of Yahweh may only obey Him.

Without faith it is impossible to please God.  So states the writer of the Book of Hebrews. Jesus said:  "According to your faith be it done unto you."   We are to walk by faith, and not by sight.  God tested Abraham.  God will test those whp belong to Him.  He will test our faith so that we can know the reality of our faith condition before Him.  Faith is not some empty intellectual idea that one...

The last days of this age are upon us.  Our days are filled with lies and liars.  Evil men are becoming worse and worse deceiving and being deceived.  Children are being sold and trafficked for sexual exploitation.  Children are being destroyed and their bodied marketed in luxury cosmetics for the vile pleasure of the so-called elite.  God sees and He knows that the vile one are treasuring up wrat...

God has done a wonderful thing for the constantly believing ones.  We have eternal security in Jesus the Beloved One of God.  One one can remove us from our eternal security in Jesus.  One one can destroy our in position in Jesus.  The grammar of the New Testament does not allow any other interpretation. Herein is a topic worthy of deep meditation for every believer

The Word of God cannot be destroyed by man.  Even though those devoted to sin may want to destroy the witness of the Word of God it is impossible.  The Word of God is eternal.  Those who seek to disannul God's LORDSHIP over all creation they cannot.  This is man's day.  It will not last because sin always destroys the plans of man and God will one day bring down the temporal lie that man is lord. ...

The preacher Noah lived during the last days of the old world.  In fact his birth was constructive notice to the old world that God was finished with its bold and violent ways.  The world had become ovewhelming corrupt.  The devil wanted to polluted all of mankind so that the Savior would not be born.  He almost had his way, but God had another plan.  God would bring Noah into the world in order t...
