The Gospel of John (20:7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was...
John 17:18 "As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world."
We are not from the world. Through the new birth, we come from God and should constantly remind ourselves of this. It is not good to be too "at home" in the world. We are in the world but are not of the world. Great men and...
DID YOU KNOW THAT THE UNBELIEVERS CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE BIBLE? THAT IS WHAT JESUS SAYS IN LUKE 8:10 "And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand." JESUS IS TALKING TO HIS DISCIPLES WHEN HE SAID THIS. NOW THE QUESTION IS, HOW ARE THEY GOING TO BE...
I LOVE STUDYING ABOUT GRACE. YOU CAN HARDLY READ A BOOK OF THE BIBLE WITHOUT FINDING THE WORD GRACE, ESPECIALLY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. IN FACT THERE ARE ONLY FOUR BOOKS IN THE NEW TESTAMENT THAT DO NOT HAVE THE WORD "GRACE" IN THEM AND THEY ARE MATTHEW, MARK, 1ST AND 3RD JOHN. I CAN SORT OF UNDERSTAND IT NOT...
John 17:17 "Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
In this prayer, Jesus prayed twice that the Father would keep His disciples from evil. Then He reveals the way that God will accomplish this - through His Word, the holy scriptures. Anyone who desires to live for God, reject the devil, and reject the world's...
John 17:3 "And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent."
In order to fully understand what eternal life is, it is helpful to understand what it is not. Eternal life is not living forever. Everyone lives forever in either heaven or hell. Also, eternal life is...
THERE ARE A LOT OF SCRIPTURES IN THE BIBLE ABOUT SHEEP. I WAS PARTICULARLY INTERESTED IN WHAT I READ IN JOHN 10. IN VERSE 5, JESUS, TALKING ABOUT THE SHEEP, SAYS "...
I HAVE HEARD A LOT OF TEACHINGS ON TEMPTATION, SOME GOOD AND SOME NOT SO GOOD. ONE OF THE WORST WAS ONE ON GOD TEMPTING US TO SEE WHAT WE WOULD DO. HOW STUPID IS THAT? THEY MUST THINK THAT GOD IS SITTING UP IN HEAVEN JUST WAITING TO ZAP ONE OF US THAT DOES SOMETHING WRONG. THEY DON'T KNOW THE LOVING GOD THAT I KNOW AND THE ONE THAT SENT HIS OWN SON TO DIE FOR US ALL. ANOTHER THING IS, DON'T THEY EVER READ THE BIBLE? THE BIBLE CLEARLY TEACHES AGAINST THIS. LOOK AT JAMES 1:13-14 WHERE...
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
The world experiences joy and happiness in direct proportion to their circumstances. Bad circumstances produce depression and sorrow, while good...
John 16:33 "These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
Jesus said we would have tribulation. He did not say that He was the one bringing the tribulation or what the tribulation would be, but He said it would...
