Sin is anything contrary to the character of God. Sin is not an issue in being saved. In your position in Christ, all of your sins are forgiven, past, present and future. In your experience in Christ when you sin in order to be forgiven you must use 1 John 1:9, rebound. If you died today with unconfessed sin in your life you would go to heaven because of your position in Christ. Sin comes in three...

If you are in Christ, you have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior, and you are a new racial species called a Christian (2 Cor 5:17). We all have Adam’s genetically formed sin nature in our bodies and as a result, we are spiritually dead. This is why we need to be born again to have a new life in Christ. “God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in Spirit and in truth”...

Christ came to deliver you from the penalty and the power of sin in your life. Sin is anything contrary to God’s character or acting independently of Him and His provisions. Sin can be something you think, say or do. It’s not a sin to be tempted. There is no such thing as sinless perfection. “If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us” (1 John 1:8-10). If you reject...

We are one in Christ. When we believe in Jesus Christ we become a new racial species—a member of the royal family of God. “If anyone is in Christ he is a new creation” (2 Cor 5:17). God offers us a different way of living. You can have a life filled with meaning, purpose, definition, and lasting happiness. To live it, renovate your thinking—think divine viewpoint, not human viewpoint. “When wisdom...

God has blessed our nation abundantly. Yet we have turned away from God and divine establishment principles. We’ve taken our eyes off the Giver and are focused on the gifts, and we’ve become an arrogant nation. Our nation is involved in a lot of sin. Dishonesty, hypocrisy, and greed have become the norm. “Cursed is the man who trusts in man and makes flesh his strength, whose heart departs from th...

Arrogance is the number one enemy of the Christian. Satan uses arrogance and you can’t afford to let him manipulate you by appealing to your arrogance. Arrogance is always identified by self-justification. Self-justification leads to self-deception which leads to self-absorption which ultimately leads to self-destruction. If you’re thinking, “Why did God have to discipline me” you’re in a bad plac...

Becoming a spiritually mature believer takes time and requires that you consistently grow, learn and apply God’s Word. This is how you come to know God. “Speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ” (Eph 4:15) Spiritual maturity is relative and dependent on the filling of the Holy Spirit and the content of the Word of God in your soul. Learnin...

Spirituality is absolute. At any moment in time, you are either filled with the Holy Spirit or controlled by your sin nature. Your volition decides which controls your life. The Christian life must be lived with the supernatural power God gives you—the filling of the Holy Spirit and God’s Word, the Bible, which is “alive and powerful” (Heb 4:12). Spirituality is not avoiding some pet taboo such as...

“Be on the alert because your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour” (1 Pet 5:8). The world and the flesh are both opposing you and so is the devil. But the devil won’t fool with you if you can’t get past the lures of the world and the lusts of the flesh. You can neutralize yourself. If you ignore the instructions of the Bible, you are susceptible to de...

You were bought out of the slave market of sin and given freedom in Jesus Christ. What will you do with the freedom Christ provides you? “Serve wholeheartedly serving the Lord, not people, because you know the Lord will reward each one for whatever good they do, whether they are slaves or free (Eph 6:7-8). You must choose to serve Jesus Christ. It is voluntary. “You shall worship the Lord your God...

You were bought and paid for by means of the spiritual death of Jesus Christ on the cross. He took your place. He took your sin and God the Father gave you His righteousness at the moment of salvation. God the Holy Spirit lives inside of you. “The Helper the Holy Spirit home the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I said to you” (John 14...

We are to become Christ-like. We are to learn and use God’s Word and grow up spiritually. “To the measure of the stature which belongs to the fullness of Christ” (Eph 4:13). Spiritual humility is you depending on God’s resources, power and grace provisions for you. “Humble yourself in the sight of the Lord” (James 4:10). The humility of the soul is you constantly evaluating yourself in the light o...

God has given you the divine assets of the Bible, the ministry of the Holy Spirit and the ministry of a well-qualified pastor. Use these to live and “be in holy conduct” awaiting the return of the Lord Jesus Christ. “Since all these things will be dissolved, what manner of person ought you to be in holy conduct” (2 Pet 3:11). This takes applying problem-solving devices. “By this, we know that we l...

Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and you have a new start, a new life in Christ. “If any man is in Christ he is a new creation. Old things are passed away and behold, all things become new” (2 Cor 5:17). This simple act of faith expressed in silent prayer is the most significant decision you could ever make. Because when you do, you are born again and this is when your permanent relationship wit...

God created the universe in one day and will destroy it in one day. “Heaven and earth will pass away” (Matt 24:25). The body you have now won’t work in heaven. Your body is infected with sin just as the entire universe is infected with sin and that is why it must be destroyed. Satan goes all over the universe. “We fight spiritual wickedness in heavenly places” (Eph 6:12). Satan is a master deceive...

You are your own worst enemy. When you stay in carnality (don’t use 1 John 1:9). When you think with a human viewpoint instead of a divine viewpoint. When you make bad decisions. When you get lured by one of our three enemies: the world, the flesh, or the devil. The Christian life is about learning how to avoid these lures. “Those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of th...

You can’t change anyone but yourself. Give information from the Word of God, but you can only change yourself. The Scripture guarantees long and prosperous life to those who learn and apply the Word of God. Don’t go through the Christian life not paying attention. “I warn you to keep away from worldly desires that wage war against your very soul” (1 Pet 2:11). Luring you away from the Word of God,...

God the Holy Spirit lives in us. We are now ambassadors, personal reps of Jesus Christ while we are alive on this earth. The Bible says, “let this mind be in you that was also in Christ Jesus.” Emotions can enslave you if you’re not careful. Enslave you to the details of life. The objective of the Christian life is you being willing to serve your Lord and your Master, Jesus Christ. We’re to use th...

God's 10 problem-solving devices: Rebound. Filling of the Holy Spirit. Faith Rest Drill. Biblical Orientation. Grace Orientation. Personal Sense of Destiny. Personal Love for God. Impersonal Love for Others. Sharing the Happiness of God. Occupation with Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ lives in you! This is the mystery doctrine of the church. “To whom God willed to make known what is the riches of the g...

The objective of Bible study is to acquire wisdom. Knowledge produces wisdom and wisdom makes an impact in the devil’s world. Satan will attack your thinking through the lures of his world. Satan can neutralize you by recapturing your thoughts, you’ll take your mind off of Christ and put your mind on people and circumstances. “Do not love the world, do not love the things of the world” (1 John 2:1...

Quit thinking human viewpoint. Learn to think divine viewpoint. Use your volition to advance spiritually by taking in God’s Word on a consistent, daily basis under the authority of a well-qualified pastor. The Bible is a textbook. It’s designed to be taught to you by God the Holy Spirit through a qualified pastor. God uses His Word to tutor us, to guide us. We’ll come to think in a different way a...

It’s never too late to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior. Not even if it’s the dying phase of your life. “The Lord is not slack concerning His promise. He is long-suffering towards us and not willing that any should perish but all should be saved” (2 Pet 3:9). Express that faith to God in prayer, “Father, I accept Jesus Christ as my Savior.” That’s all there is to it. A simple act of faith alone...

You can’t change anyone but yourself. You are the only one that can change you. How? By learning the unique life we have as Christians from using the unique resources God has given us. Starting with our most unique Savior. The world’s most interesting man is Jesus Christ, the anointed Son of God, our Redeemer, the One who walked out of the grave alive, the One Who will come and live in you if you...

God uses undeserved suffering to get you to orient to His grace. Grace is unmerited favor—His divine provisions. “We can be enabled by means of the grace of God” (1 Col 10:13). Grace is the means of conveying the power of God to you. At the point of weakness because of suffering or testing, you will either turn to God for support or turn away in anger or bitterness. At your weakest point, you can...

Suffering is a form of teaching by God. Sometimes it takes suffering to motivate us to seek answers. “Affliction is good that I might learn Your statutes (the Word of God)" (Psalm 119:71). Learn God’s plan for your life and you will persevere through adversity (Romans 5:3). God loves you. He will take care of you! “Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or trouble, or pers...
