God's Son
Father God and Jesus the Son are One
Read John 5:12-23
The Jews were accusing Jesus of making Himself equal with God. Jesus answers them saying all the ways He and Father God are one. In essence, Jesus is telling the Jews they were right He was equal with God. He then goes on to outline six ways that He is equal with God. [...]
A More Complete Picture
Can we understand God by reading one Bible verse? Can we know Him through one devotional reading? Can we grasp His glory through one prayer? Is it possible to know Him through encounters with others?
The answer to the individual question is no, but collectively perhaps. Let me explain with an analogy.
Can we taste [...]

God made the heavens, the earth and everything in them. What can mere humans give back to Him?
We can give Him our attention by reading His word. (Acts 17:11)

Righteousness, Self-Control and Judgment to Come
“Now as he reasoned about righteousness, self-control, and the judgment to come, Felix was afraid.” Acts 24:25 NKJV

Righteousness
Examining scriptures reveals righteousness doesn’t come from us. Look at Psalm 119:137 NKJV “Righteousness are You, O [...]
Rules versus Righteousness
“They came to the chief priests and elders, and said, “We have bound ourselves under a great oath that we will eat nothing until we have killed Paul.”” Acts 23:14 NKJV

Where’s the fruit?
But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faith, gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. Galatians 5:22-23 HSCB
This is a wonderful first be used as a mere in my life. For example, when I review this verse I looked to see how many of these traits [...]
God Gave
Are you following the truth? God gave us many things to help us discover the truth. Let’s take a look at some of them.
God gave us a brain. He expects us to use it. Isaiah 1:18 NKJV says “Come now, and let us reason together,” says the LORD “Though your sins are like scarlet, [...]
The Pretenders
“Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, “We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches.”” Acts 19:13 NKJV
There is coming a time when all who claim to be Christians will be revealed for who they [...]
