A Sound Heart

"In Him, we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins according to the riches of His Grace...(Eph.1:7a."

"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is (1 John 3:2)."

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry...(Col. 3:5).

The greatest minds in the Bible not not write books on apologeticd.  The greatest minds in the Bible were completely sold out to God. The men and women of the Bible who knew God knew that knowing Him for real involved going beyond mere discursive thinking. They knew that real knowledge of Yahweh involved superknowledge or epignosis!  They never focused on apologetics or the synergy of Faith and Re...

" What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us (Rom. 8:31)"

When you decide to obey God and live by HIs Word you will experience super-abundance.  God does not and will not bless those who  walk in darkness and profess they are believers.  God will never compromise His eternal glory to accomodate sinful practices.  Turst and obey there is no other way!  

There are experiences in life that cause incredible emotional anguish.  There are events in our lives that create astonishing pain. Sometimes the pain is so smarting and the grief so deep that we can only moan or sit in aching silence.  Jesus is intimately aware of our deepest pain and He can meet us in the midst of our terrible agony with His marvelous presence, understanding and love.  You are n...

Today people are told that they are carriers of a heinous dis-ease!  People are told to cover their faces in order to reinforce the stigma of uncleanness. People are told not to work. They are told that the dis-ease is killing so many so don't take care of your family.  People are drinking so much alcohol.  PEOPLE ARE BREAKING DOWN BECAUSE OF LOCK DOWN!  Now is the time to call upon the Lord and r...

There are those who boldly claim the Second Coming of Jesus can be pinpointed by date and time. This false teaching is bold and proud violation of the revealed records and documents. Still others boldly claim that the Second Coming of Jesus is a myth or amusing tale.  The Sacred Documents clearly teach that the crucified, buried, and risen Savior is Coming back to the earth to claim His people who...

"Is" is a state of being verb. This verb denotes an existing state of affairs. The world today has been engineered to create and maintain existential uncertainty for people. The lives of people are falling apart and the political class does not care. Jesus does not provide religious dogma He offer salvation and a qualitatively new life

"Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward (Heb. 10:35)."

Biblical faith is not centered around talk.  Biblical faith is demonstrated by one's actions.  Believing God is not mere "god talk."  Believing (initial belief and then subsiquent growth in that belief) God is walking by faith (pisticism) (ordering one's steps) and not by sight (empiricism). The just (those declared righteous by their actions of faith) shall live by faith! 

The world is "proud" of rational discursive reason.  The world believes that all things are discoverable and understood by the human mind and its ability to create credible theories for natural phenomena.  The world has shut the door on supernatural phenomena because it threatens agreed upon social narrative.  The world does not acknowledge that its narrow focus is the creation of the interweaving...

Lord. forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who have trespassed against us!  No one ever said that forgiveness would be easy.  Forgiveness means to release someone from a debt that can never be repaid.  Jesus did this for you and I.  

"Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.  In my Father's house are many mansions (dwellings): if it were not so, I would have told you.  I go to prepare place for you.  And if (since) I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also (John 14:1-3)."

If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not do the truth (1 John 1:6).

The world has exposed some of its terrible ills to us.  Looting and burning lives to the ground is looked upon as something positive and redemptive.  The saviours of this age are filled with hate, lust, and insaitable greed.  Yet, they want want people to believe their venom-filled lies.  Some of them want to re-write the Bible to fit their schemes. Little wonder why God will judge those who tampe...

Look around you today and what do you see?  You see a world in chaos and ruin.  People are hurting and smarting from the deliberate wounds selfishly inflicted by those in power.  The world is big enough and wealthy enough to sustain and prosper all of humanity. The world is a living organism.  It is a dynamic being created by God.  The rulers of this present darkness only care to do harm and infli...

Bible bashing is not unique to the people of the cosmic system.  There are professing believers who bash the Truth of the Word of God by their actions.  Jesus said: "By their fruit you shall know them."  The false prophets want us to listen to their deceiving words and not watch their nefarious actions.  They use either hypnosis or spells to "trick" the minds of their hearers.  Jesus has come into...

The social engineers manipulate people to their own evil ends.  People today are driven, weary and without hope.  The dark leaders of the cosmos world system promise people the "good" life but in the end there is nothing.  Jesus promises that those who build their lives upon the solid rock of His Word will have lives of superabundance.

Job was not a victim.  He never thought of himself as a victim.  He was a man of God.  He was tested by God through the instrumentality of the satan.  Job's friends were not privy to the divine council that decided the parameters of his trials.  They assumed that that knew the reason of his trials.  Carefully note they never prayed for Job.  They pelted him with pseudo-learned accusations devoid o...

Racist Ideologies are demonic.  The goal of racist ideology is to create a psycho-spiritual split within the soul. It is spiritual schizophrenia.  The devil is the author of this species of self-hate and hatred toward toward others.  The one who hates is filled with spiritual poison.  Such a person is brain-washed to think that hate will fill the soul with wholeness when it produces nothing but sp...

There are those who want to destroy the lives of those who do not share their skin color.  There were those who attempted to destroy the lives of the people of Yahweh in the Book of Exodus and Yahweh led them out of that oppressive and destructive bondage.  The satan is the god of this age and he is destroying humanity through the cultural lie of racism.  What is racism?  It seems racism is the in...

The world of psychology and therapy likes to talk about evidence-based practices and their effectiveness in helping to solve the problems of living.  The Biblical documents do not speak of human psychology as a panacea for the problems of living.  The Word of God does not rely upon human theories nor observational studies about the human condition.  The Word of God speaks the eternal truth about t...

Jesus said that in the cosmos we would suffer tribulation.  It is important to note that he said these poignant words in the Upper Room to his disciples.  He wanted them to know the cost of discipleship.  Jesus proclaimed no cheap Grace.  Jesus is the Grace of God Incarnate.  There is nothing cheap about Jesus. Jesus has been attacked by so-called scholars and self-proclaimed intellectuals but he...
