2020 may go down in history as the most tumultuous year in our lifetime, especially for the USA and other Western societies. This upheaval has left many asking, “What can I do?” or “What should I do?” Given that none of this caught the Lord Jesus or our Father off guard, what better way to prepare our lives for what …
Spiritual Growth
There are a variety of opinions on what it means to be spiritual, but it’s God’s Word that teaches this idea most clearly? To be spiritual means to walk in step with God, to be in unity with him so we can hear his voice. It is a peaceable, easy walk with the father. But like any relationship, it requires …
Maintaining A Thankful Heart
Ephesians 5:20 tells us to give thanks to God the Father always in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. This teaching explains the benefits of maintaining a thankful heart towards God. Besides blessing God Himself, thankfulness guards our souls from an often hostile world. Being thankful fortifies us to stand against resentment, discontent, bitterness and unforgiveness. There are physiological …
The Most Pernicious Lie in Christianity
In recent months, we have addressed the concept of Civil Government, and how God instituted it in Genesis 9 when Noah and his family came off the Ark and He delegated to mankind the governing of the earth. Romans 13 is the most quoted section of Scripture when it comes to civil government, but its context is often overlooked. We’ll …
The Promises of God
Well, for the past number of months, as it is before every election, we have heard political candidates make plenty of promises. The sad testimony of history is that relatively few of them are ever kept. Not so with our GOD.

When we consider God, we see His diversity in everything He creates, and since He created us in His image, and gave us freedom of will, our lives should reflect this diversity as well. As Christians working alongside each other to do the Lord’s will, our diversity should be evident as …
Isaiah Rebukes Judah
Throughout the centuries God has made his will clear and He has pointed out when Israel was being disobedient. Our God is patient, loving and forgiving as well as righteous. So deliberate disobedience will have consequences. This teaching expounds on the first few chapters of Isaiah rebuking Israel’s sinfulness. This is a good lesson for us today. God still wants …
Valiant for Truth
For most of this year there has been non-stop talk about the “Pandemic” that has gripped much of the world’s population with FEAR. As you may know, FEAR shuts down one’s ability to think clearly and make sound decisions, thus rendering him easily manipulated and controlled. Given the fact that such fear has done far more damage than the virus …
The Redeemed Of The Lord
Redemption is a term we often hear in Christian circles, but what should it mean to the Christian? By definition, redemption is what God accomplished through his Son, our Redeemer Jesus Christ, when he laid down his life on the cross. For those of us who have called upon the blessed Name of Jesus Christ, our lives were purchased through …
God’s Glory Versus Self Glory
This teaching goes through Scripture to identify the kinds of glory. Glory is referred to in several instances throughout the Bible. We are encouraged to glorify God and not ourselves. Like the sun illuminates the moon, God illuminates Jesus Christ and now Jesus Christ illuminates us when we turn our face toward him. This teaching opens up biblical records dealing …
