The Least Of These - His Love Ministries

Send us Fan Mail In Mark 4 Jesus tells the parable of the seeds.  One group never hears the word of God because they don’t care about it, two groups follow God for a while, but persecution or the cares and riches of the world cause them to fall away because they were never truly saved.  Only one group bears fruit because they are saved.  At the end He says he who has ears to hear, let him hear. Th...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 8:17 and if children, then heirs--heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.  Verses 14–17 contain four proofs of our being sons and daughters of God, if the Holy Spirit has indeed brought us into God’s family. First , we are led by God’s Spirit. This refers to our conduct. If we are following after Christ...

Send us Fan Mail In Mark 4 Jesus says he who has ears to hear, let him hear. Then He says if we hear, understand & use what He shows us, He will give us more to enjoy and use for Him.

Send us Fan Mail John MacArthur says Jesus summed it all up when He said, "Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God." The Bible is a marvelous unequaled book.  In fact, somebody should put a warning label on it and maybe it ought to read like this, "Warning: this book is habit forming, regular use causes loss of anxiety, decreased ap...

Send us Fan Mail There are two ways the Spirit leads. The Holy Spirit gave us the Bible and the first way is the Holy Spirit illuminates to our minds that Scripture. The second way is sanctification. Here is the idea that once He has shown us what it means, He then assists us in applying that in the progress of spiritual growth. The Holy Spirit not only illumines the mind, but He stirs the heart a...

Send us Fan Mail John 5:28-29 tells how the saved will rewarded for their good and those not trusting in Christ will be judged and condemned.

Dan 12:3 says those who teach & lead others to faith will be considered wise & will s...

Send us Fan Mail 1 John 2:10 says He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him.  This verse tells me that a person gives proof they are saved because they love their brother and that we neither offend nor are we offended by our brother since it says in 1Co 13:7 that love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.  It als...

Send us Fan Mail Hi, I'm Marty McKenzie with His Love Ministries. 1John 2:9 reads as follows; He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now.  What this verse says is that you cannot be a true Christian and hate your fellow Christian brother.  So, to all you folks out there that claim to be a Christian and say you are going to heaven, this means you will be go...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 7:14 For we know that the law is spiritual, but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For what I am doing, I do not understand.

Send us Fan Mail Romans 7:9 I was alive once without the law, but when the commandment came, sin revived and I died. 10 And the commandment, which was to bring life, I found to bring death. 11 For sin, taking occasion by the commandment, deceived me, and by it killed me. 12 Therefore the law is holy, and the commandment holy and just and good. 13 Has then what is good become death to me? Certainly...

Send us Fan Mail Romans 7:7 What shall we say then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! On the contrary, I would not have known sin except through the law.

For apart from the law sin was dead.   1. The value of the...
