10 Commandments – Do not Murder By : Mark Crossley This article is based around Exodus 20 and the issue of Murder. A Marriage Made in Hell By : Terry L. Brown When Jesus addresses the church at Pergamum in the book of Revelation He describes Himself as "the One who has the sharp two-edged sword". This sword, which is the Word of God, is spoken of in Hebrews 4:12 as being used to divide things: spirit and soul, and joints and marrow. Perhaps the reason Jesus identifies Himself in this way is because the church at Pergamum had "married" the world. She was no longer the bride of Christ. A New heart By : Sylvia Huffnagle Scriptures about the heart God wants us to have and how to get that heart. Adam, Where Are You By : Terry L. Brown After Adam and Eve had eaten of the forbidden fruit they made fig leaves to cover their nakedness. Yet, when God came walking in the Garden in the cool of the day He called out, "Adam, where are you?" Why would He do that? Didn't He know where Adam was? And why did Adam and Eve attempt to hide from God since they had made clothes for themselves from fig leaves? See how the answers to these questions apple to us today. Being Light in a Fallen World By : Terry L. Brown The first element the Lord created when He fashioned the world was light, not the light of the sun, but the light of His presence (the sun wasn't created until later). In the same way the re-creation of fallen man begins with light. Jesus, the Son, came as a light to the world and in turn created within us, upon acceptance of Him as Lord and Savior, that light. The life of the Christian is to be one of radiating the light of the Son. Beware of Men's Philosophy By : Sylvia Huffnagle Colossians 2:8-11 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ. For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily. And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power: In whom also ye are circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, in putting off the body of the sins of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ: Biblical Balance (#1 in the Balance Series) By : Sylvia Huffnagle The Bible is balanced, but it is very seldom taught in the balance in which it is written. In order to walk, children must learn balance. In order to walk in God's kind of love, you need God's wisdom-you need the biblical balance of love and wisdom. Blessing and obedience go hand in hand By : Sylvia Huffnagle To show that blessings are the result of good choices and curses are the result of bad choices. Break the Cycle By : Sylvia Huffnagle I think the Wheel in Ezekiel is referring to the cycle of life--the different emotions a person goes through and what the four main cycles can be compared to. If my analysis is correct, God wants us to know that our feelings and emotions are powerful to the point of effecting our whole life--steering our course. I show that when a Christian walks by the spirit and not by the flesh he/she is enabled to overcome the downers in life. Choose life or death By : Sylvia Huffnagle If you abide in Jesus, you are free from all curses--but if you choose to live carnally, you are not taking advantage of your gift from God and you forfeit the blessings and live under the curses, because they are the inevitable result of making wrong choices. Circumcision of the heart By : Sylvia Huffnagle The only way to trust and obey God is to cut off the flesh—be circumcised. A person has to be spiritually circumcised to take advantage of the New Covenant. It was submission to their lower nature that killed Adam and Eve and it takes submission to God to have eternal life. Defeating the Darkness of the world! By : Shaila D Touchton Satan was like "a strong man." Yet Jesus claimed to be much stronger. He claimed to defeat Satan, and to take whatever He wanted from Satan (Matthew 12:22-29). How did Jesus prove this claim? By publicly defeating the forces of Satan! He could do this because "demons" - the evil spirits who serve Satan - were working in a very bold and open way. (Compared with the Old Testament, the New Testament shows much more visible activity from the demons.) Demons even forced themselves into some people. They caused much harm to those in whom they lived. DISCIPLESHIP RELATIONSHIPS By : Willetta Pilcher The world, even the dictionary, gives love the definition of a "feeling" but God's word gives us the understanding that genuine love is not a feeling but a "decision" that responds with action. This article exposes the kind of love we need to reflect as a Christian. Ecclesiastes 1 Nothing new how boring? By : Mark Crossley This article relates to Ecclesiastes 1 and my interpretation of the scripture. ETERNAL CHRIST By : Willetta Pilcher The writer of Hebrews closes the book with many last minute instructions for those who follow Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever. Thier admonitions are so good for us to hear for today Five Powerful Bible Study Tips By : Hannah Henderson The Bible says that God is not the author of confusion, yet there is much confusion about the teachings of the Bible. God promises to teach everyone who sincerely and diligently seeks understanding. Learn to implement five very powerful Bible study tips. Footprints On The Water By : Donald Mehl Just as when Peter walked on the water leaving only footprints, our walk with the Lord from day to day will leave visible footprints of our faith as a witness to others for His honor and glory. We are saved by grace through faith, we live by faith, and by faith we will have everlasting victory in Jesus! Getting Your Prayers Answered By : Sylvia Huffnagle Scriptures revealing what God has to say about getting your prayers answered. Gilgal Stones By : Josprel After the death of Moses, the leadership of Israel fell to his protégé, Joshua. It now was time to cross over into Canaan; time to claim the land God already had given to His people; time to trust Him to remove all obstacles to complete victory and, of course, the first obstacle was the waters of the Jordan River that, normally so placid, now were at flood stage. God Knows Your Circumstances By : Terry L. Brown Does God love me? Has He forgotten me? Does He care that I'm hurting? Why doesn't He do something? Yes, God loves you. No, He hasn't forgotten you. Yes, He cares that you're hurting. He is doing something. Would you like to know what? God's Game Plan or Strategy for Entering the Promise Land By : Sylvia Huffnagle A study taken from Deuteronomy to show how God taught His people to live and do in order to be able to take the promise land. Jesus bought and paid for it, but we must enter and remain--this is how. God's Peculiar People (How it works) By : Sylvia Huffnagle To explain why a person would want to become on of God's peculiar people and to explain how one becomes one of God's peculiar people. Gold, Frankincense, & Myrrh By : Terry L. Brown It is likely that, if asked, most Chrisitians, and even many non-Christians, could tell you what the three gifts given to the Christ Child by the Wise Men were. But what is the likelihood those same people could tell you why it was those three gifts? A young couple starting out in life as husband and wife with a newborn could certainly use gold, but frankincense and myrrh? Yes, frankincense and myrrh. Each gift has a particular significance that each of us would do well to learn.

Tabernacle is anointed, sanctified and consecrated by the Glory of the Lord. God only dwells in righteous and sinless places. It’s also the place where offerings are brought and a meeting place for the worshippers and giving testimonies. The lamp stand will be placed outside the inner curtain of the Most Holy Place in the Tabernacle. Moses was commanded to make a tabernacle for God to show the shadow of heavenly things.

By : Shaila D Touchton A knowledge of Bible LET HIM DENY HIMSELF - Lu 9:23-26; 14:27-30 - by willetta By : Willetta Pilcher Cross bearing and Self-denial is not a subject we hear preached anymore. However, those thoughts are not just old-fashioned. They ARE the word of God. Becoming a Christian has become almost like a “popular thing to do” without any requirements. You just come and say a little prayer ... and boom! You are a Christian. And that is all there is to it. But Jesus did not teach that philosophy. He said there is a price to pay in following Him. Living Stones in God's Kingdom By : Terry L. Brown The Lord is building His kingdom upon the earth one living stone at a time. But what is a "living stone"? Are you one? Much of Christendom is not.

There is overwhelming Scriptural evidence against monetary church tithing. In order to justify today's tithing doctrine you have to pick and choose a few favorite scriptures and rewrite them to change their meaning. And you must ignore other scriptures which are not enforced today. Scriptural Authority Against Demonic Spirits By : Shaila D Touchton Collection of verses about the Scriptural Authority Against Demonic Spirits . Scriptures referring for Jesus Christ’s Second Coming! By : Shaila D Touchton Collection of some scriptures. Significance to God referring to Himself as the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. By : Shaila D Touchton Collected from the internet source Silencing the Witness of Demons By : Terry L. Brown Jesus and the Apostles routinely cast out demons. But some of those demons were witnessing to the fact that Jesus was the Son of God. Others were witnessing to the fact that the Apostles were followers of Jesus Christ and were teaching the true way to salvation. Why silence such witnesses? Sin and Total depravity! By : Shaila D Touchton Collected from the internet source. Sowing and Reaping (1st in the Sowing Series) By : Sylvia Huffnagle A teaching on cultivating the garden of the heart. Spiritual Dreams!! By : Shaila D Touchton The Lord uses dreams for a variety of purposes. Spiritual dreams are God's sole prerogative, so we must always be ready. When they do come we need to quickly record them and then begin to pray for the interpretation. Spiritual Famine By : Terry L. Brown The Lord warns us of a time when there will be a famine in the land, not a famine of food, but a famine of His Word. That is certainly true in the world today, particularly in America. But why is that when we are awash in Bibles and there are churches on every street corner? It is a good question. And the answer may not be what you think. Spiritual Warfare, Fact Or Fiction? By : Hannah Henderson The sixth chapter of Ephesians speaks of spiritual warfare between good and evil. The apostle Paul addresses the servants of God saying,..."we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore, take unto you the whole armour of God..."(KJV, Ephesians 6:12-13). The Apostle Peter Wrongly Accused Of Racism By : Hannah Henderson The pastor of a church once taught his congregation that the apostle Peter had to be corrected by the Lord on his racial prejudices. This Christian leader's aim was to demonstrate, by scripture, that even the closest servants of God may have serious faults that they have to overcome. His presentation of the scriptures to teach what sounded like a truth, only presented an opinion that lacked biblical support. The Authority of Jesus Christ! By : Shaila D Touchton Many centuries before Christ lived on earth people followed God by accepting the authority of Moses and the prophets. Now God reveals His will to us through Jesus Christ. The Direct Words of Jesus Christ! By : Shaila D Touchton Here is the collection of Verses from the Holy Bible! The Fear of the Lord By : Sylvia Huffnagle To show the importance of the fear of the Lord and to encourage believers to receive it by faith. The Flying Scroll (1st in the Prophet Series) By : Sylvia Huffnagle What is this about? It’s about what a Christian watches on TV, PC, and at the movies. It’s about what a Christian reads and looks at. It’s about what a Christian listens to on the radio and on CDs. But first we must establish what a Christian is because that has to do with how the Gospel is presented and understood. The true Gospel is about Jesus fixing everything that Adam and Eve messed up. They made a wrong choice that brought in a ton of negative experiences.

Brown False worship, false prophets, and false teachers have plagued God's people from the beginning. It is no less true today. Some churches and demoninations are being overcome by the sins of the world. Abortion is accepted; homosexuality is advocated to the degree that offices within some demoninations are occupied by openly practicing homosexuals; divorce is rampant; and entertainment choices between believers and unbelievers are insignificant. But the Lord still has His remnant. The Mark of the Beast By : Terry L. Brown No other number is so well known, or feared, as 666. The number of the Beast as recorded in the book of Revelation has resulted in speculation for centuries as to what it is and what it means. Will it be a tatto? A computer chip implanted under the skin? Perhaps. But it is more likely something much more sinister and deceptive. The Omniscience Of God By : Carey W. Scott The greatest lesson for us to learn from this study is the fact that God (being 'omnipresent') is everywhere and sees all things. In our hustle and bustle world, we sometimes forget that God is there wherever we are. The Path of Victory By : Terry L. Brown Some believe that once they become a Christian life becomes the proverbial rose garden. They are surprised and sometimes angry when that delusion is exposed by the reality of life they daily encounter. The truth is life can become more difficult. Christians who actively live out their faith can find themselves the subject of persecution and slander - even by those who call themselves "Christian". The Believers in Smyrna faced intense persecution, but the overcomers received the crown of life. The Reconciliation By : Sylvia Huffnagle This article exlplains how mankind got alienated from God and how a person can be reconciled to God in a true Father-child relationship. The spirit of God!!! By : Shaila D Touchton The Holy Spirit is the spirit of God and dwells inside every Christian. Holy Spirit is the anointing of Christ The Spirit gives the gifts of wisdom, understanding, and insight. The holy spirit is given by the Holy Father and it reveals the things of God, the things of Christ, future and Directs in the way of godliness and into all truth. The Value of Pain By : Terry L. Brown If one could not feel pain would it be a blessing or a curse? It would be a curse. Of the five senses we have only touch is necessary for life. Without the ability to feel we are in danger of dying. This is true spiritually also. The pain within our hearts compels us to find relief. Pain does have value. The Way into the Kingdom of God - Part 2 of 3 By : Pastor Paul The new birth The Way into the Kingdom of God - Part 3 of 3 By : Pastor Paul The door into the kingdom of God The Way into the Kingdom of God -Part 1 of 3 By : Pastor Paul How sinful man by nature enters into the kingdom of God The Word of God By : Sylvia Huffnagle A magnafication of Revelation 19 to show that Jesus-The Word of God is coming for a spotless bride--a bride that has prepared herself for the bridegroom and that He has His sharp sward-which is the Word of God to deal with the beast-the liar and all who listen to him.
