About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

Freed From The Law
August 1st
Luke 16:16 'The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.'
LUKE 16:16-17
The Bible teaches that there are different dispensations or divinely ordered ways of God dealing with mankind throughout the ages. A dispensation is simply a period of time in which God deals with mankind in a certain way.
The Old Testament law was only a temporary dispensation and ruled from the giving of the law (Ex. 20) until the ministry of John the Baptist. When Christ came, He put an end to the law for righteousness (Rom. 10:4). Anyone who advocates the keeping of the law for the purpose of right standing with...
Build Faith, Destroy Doubt
July 31st
Matthew 17:20 'And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.'
MATTHEW 17:9-20; MARK 9:9-27; LUKE 9:37-42
The disciples' unbelief in this instance was not a disbelief in God's power to produce deliverance, but rather a 'natural' kind of unbelief that came from a hardened heart that was more sensitive to what it saw than to what it believed. Jesus said that a very small amount of faith (a 'mustard seed') is sufficient to remove a mountain, if no unbelief is present to...
DON'T EVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF PRAYER. AND, WHEN YOU ASK SOMEONE TO PRAY FOR YOU, BE CAREFUL THAT IT IS NOT SOMEONE THAT IS PRAYING IN UNBELIEF. THAT MIGHT SOUND STRANGE BUT THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT SAY THEY WILL PRAY FOR YOU THAT ARE NOT EVEN BORN AGAIN. THEY THINK IT SOUNDS GOOD, OR LOOKS GOOD ON FACEBOOK, BUT WHICH GOD ARE THEY PRAYING TO. YOU CANNOT SERVE TWO MASTERS. MATTHEW 6:24 SAYS "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
Alive Unto God
July 30th
Matthew 17:2 'And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.'
MATTHEW 17:1-8, MARK 9:1-8, LUKE 9:28-36
It is interesting to compare Jesus' transfiguration with that of Moses'. Jesus' face shone as the sun and His garment was as white as the light. This certainly exceeded what Moses experienced, and yet Jesus' face did not continue to shine when He came down off of the mountain as Moses' face did. Moses' face reflected the glory of God, but Jesus was the glory of God (Jn. 1:14; Heb. 1:3). Moses put a veil over his face to conceal the glory of God (Ex. 34:29-35) so that the people would not be afraid to come near...
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT IN THIS DAY AND AGE THAT THERE ARE STILL SOME PREACHERS AND TEACHERS SAYING THAT ONLY A FEW PEOPLE ARE CHOSEN BY GOD FOR SALVATION AND THE REST ARE WHAT THEY CALL "PREDESTINED" TO GO TO HELL? SOME OF THEM EVEN TEACH THAT NOTHING HAPPENS UNLESS IT IS GOD'S WILL AND HIS WILL IS ALWAYS DONE. DON'T THEY EVER READ AND STUDY THE BIBLE? ARE THEY REALLY NOT BORN AGAIN AND ARE LIKE THE PEOPLE IN 1ST CORINTHIANS 2:14 WHERE IT TALKS ABOUT THE NATURAL MAN INSTEAD OF THE SPIRITUAL MAN "But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned."
The Right Righteousness
July 29th
Luke 16:15 'And he said unto them, Ye are they which justify yourselves before men; but God knoweth your hearts: for that which is highly esteemed among men is abomination in the sight of God.'
LUKE 16:14-15
Justification is not something to be earned, but a
