This teaching addresses what may very well be the bottom line of each Christian’s life: choosing God’s will or my own will. Why is the Christian life a crucible? How can we assist the Lord Jesus in achieving his goal of being formed in us? What does it mean to “take up your cross”? What does it mean to die …
Magnifying Jesus Christ: The Living Truth
This month’s “WWF” teaching is titled Magnifying Jesus Christ, The Living Truth. It is a “test run” of the opening segment of the video production we are doing in Longwood FL July 11-17. Who is Jesus Christ? Why Jesus Christ? What makes Jesus Christ the “Diameter of the Ages”? How is Jesus Christ God’s resounding “YES!” to mankind? This teaching …
Good Heavens! (All three of them)
For us Christians who desire to be like our Lord Jesus, a vague hope will not sustain us as we live in “this present evil age,” sorely tempted to succumb to the world’s perverted value system and waste our precious energy seeking its fool’s gold. And what about during times of real tribulation or persecution? Our hope must be concrete, …
Balancing Grace and Truth
John 1:18 says that “grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.” How so? How did Jesus Christ, despite the constant pressure on him as the Redeemer of mankind, so magnificently exude the love of God in such a way that all kinds of people were drawn to him, including many who were spurned by society, and even by the religious …
Belonging to The Truth: A Journey Through 1 John
Written in part to refute certain first-century Gnostic fables based upon their elevation of “what is falsely called ‘knowledge’” (1 Tim. 6:20), the apostle John’s epistles (we’ll throw in 2 & 3 John for good measure) are pregnant with practical principles, as well as critical doctrinal truth regarding the person of Jesus. 1 John is about internalizing God’s truth and …
Satan’s Relentless Assault on God’s Glorious Truth About Man’s Genuine Free Will
First of all, YA GOTTA HEAR THIS TEACHING. Do you realize that the first recorded words of a human being were, in essence: “I’m afraid to be vulnerable with you, God, and it’s not my fault. In fact, it might be your fault.” Do you ever see in yourself any reluctance to own up to the choices you have made? …
Romans 5:8 – The Guts of the Gospel
The Lord Jesus’ revelation to Paul that we read in his letter to the assembly of Christians in Rome has been called “The Magna Carta of Christianity.” As the foundation of the resplendent doctrine set forth in Paul’s Christian epistles, Romans is a treasure trove of truth for anyone seeking to know the heart of God and Christ. Precisely understanding …
The War on Error (Psychopaths and You)
This teaching will help you start your New Year with a real BIG BANG! In this new calendar year, each day will bring us closer to the appearing of our Lord Jesus to take us out of this wicked world. Why is it so wicked? Partly because about 5% of the population are psychopaths, who feel no empathy toward others, …
What’s In A Face
You are the only you God has. The most distinguishing feature about you is your FACE. Your eyes are “the window of your soul,” beholding the beauty of creation. Your nose enjoys delectable aromas, from frankincense to garlic. Your ears hear the music of life. Your mouth can speak words of love and life. It also tastes the joys of …
Striving Together for the Faith of the Gospel
This is what John Lynn shared at the first-ever face-to-face TLTF Elders gathering, and we thought that anyone interested should also have the opportunity to hear it. His exposition of Philippians 1:1-2:16 and 3:7-14 is jam-packed with meaty biblical truth as he elucidates many nuances of the Greek words behind the English we read. Paul’s epistle to the Philippians corrects …
