  • 'In Christ' the church is built together
    To show that the church standards and calling have been lowered and that it is imperative to the body of Christ's spiritual health to raise the standard to biblical proportions again.
  • A New heart
    Scriptures about the heart God wants us to have and how to get that heart.
  • A Time to Sow and a Time to Reap (3rd in the Sowing Series)
    To show that there is a time to sow and a time to reap, meaning that the Word has to grow in a Christian before they can reap--be able to accomplish what they, the Bible, or others may want them to accomplish.
  • Balanced Christianity (#2 in the Balance Series)
    To show the balance of the Word of God and the benefits of that balance.
  • Be not worldly-minded
    For a Christian the advantage of being heavenly-minded can not be over-emphasized. First and foremost, this is how a Christian can be patient and wait on the Lord to work instead of taking things into their own hands.
  • Beware of Men's Philosophy
    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)
    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
    To show that blessings are the result of good choices and curses are the result of bad choices.
  • Break the Cycle
    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.
  • Cancer! Cut it out!
    Far too many preachers, speakers, and writers want to bandage the hurts, salve the burns, administer medicine for the illness, BUT WE ARE DEALING WITH CANCER. It is cancer that has eaten away at the moral fiber of the church and the world. It has eaten away at the Truths that were meant to set men free.
  • Choose life or death
    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.
  • Christian World View or Humanism
    An article attempting to make it clear what each of these world views produces.
  • Christianity Vs humanism
    To show the futility of a Christless, Godless world view.
  • Christians believe differently
    This article shows from scripture that believers should have one truth and be like-minded. It goes on the suggest what needs to be done in order to accomplish that.
  • Circumcision of the heart
    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.
  • Do you have on the wedding garment?
    The way is straight and narrow that leads to life. We must put on the Lord Jesus Christ to stay in the right way.
  • Everything Happens for a Reason ??
    The article is an attempt to clarify what is true and what is not about the popular statement: "Everything happens for a reason."

  • God's Game Plan or Strategy for Entering the Promise Land
    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)
    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.
  • God's Plan of Salvation
    To bring into the light God's words and thoughts about salvation, thus clarifying what man should think and believe.
  • God's Strange Army (5th in the Prophet Series)
    In Habakkuk, God explains why He is allowing the righteous to be over-powered by the unrighteous. It is so that He can snare the unrighteous in their own trap. Rest assured that the present evil day must be in order to usher in God's grand finale.
  • He is Daddy and He is God (6th in Balance Series)
    There must be a balance between Christians knowing God as Daddy and Christians submitting to the Father's will in reverence and piety. Knowing God as Daddy means they don't have to grovel to get His ear, but He is also God and Father and must have full control of the believers life.
  • How to protect your new heart
    Offers scriptures that when heeded will go a long way in protecting a Christians new heart from being corrupted.
  • How to Sow & Reap - Isaiah 28 (2nd in the Sowing Series)
    A magnification and expository of Isaih 28
  • If they had stood in my council . . .
    To show that God is not happy with leaders who tell or otherwise imply that those who do their own thing after they receive the call to salvation are okay with Him. He wants leaders who will give the congregation His full council in His words so that it will have the power to produce very good fruit.
  • If your armor is not of God . . .
    This article it to teach people to put on each piece of armor because if a person is not relying on God’s armor and weapons, they will used their own. If they are fighting against the lies of devil, they will end up defeated.

    A proclamation of the awesome work Jesus did when he made all the right choices.
  • Jesus, the Second Adam
    Jesus was sent by God to fix everything that Adam and Eve messed up and then some. Those who receive Him can have it all.
  • Keeping scriptures in context
    This article is for the purpose of teaching people how important it is to know what the Bible teaches and what it does not teach. It shows some of the ways that the Bible is misquoted and misinterpreted. It emphasises the importance of knowing the truth. No wonder Jesus said, Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word of God.
  • Kerstin's Makeover
    Kerstin is confronted by another Christian girl about the way she dresses. From scripture, she is shown that Christians are to consider other even in their attire. In the end, God helps her develop a new outlook on clothes and therefore a new look.
  • Life Restored
    A lady in a nursing home feels that life is over for her, until she asks Jesus into it, then she finds that life is not only not over, but in fact it is enhanced.
  • Lighten Up?
    To exhort Christians to practice comparing what people urge them to do with what God urges them to do and to exhort them to go with God. I urge Christians to be aware that if they want to win, they must choose God's way and God's ways run contrary to the world's way.
  • Love rules, not Mercy (4th in the Balance Series)

    To show the spirit or attitude of those who have chosen life. To show that God's offer of salvation does not include an attitude of sneaking into the movies or in this case, the kingdom of heaven.
  • Revelation Chapter 12
    Revalation chapter 12 is symbolic and is sort of a "behind the scenes" view of what's going to happen in the following chapters. This article is my interpretation of the events.
  • Saved by Grace
    To show that grace is for those who have been reconciled to Father God--to those who have received Jesus as well as His blood atonement.

    To show that sin alienated mankind from the Father and repentance of sin and receiving of God's whole plan of salvation places the believer under God's grace.
  • Sound the alarm! (4th in Prophet Series)
    Sounding the alram--the day of darkness has come. Joel 2 is talking about the Babylonian lies going forth throughout the earth. The only thing for the church to do is call the solemn assembly and cry out for mighty renewal.
  • Sowing and Reaping (1st in the Sowing Series)
    A teaching on cultivating the garden of the heart.
  • The beginnings of birth pangs (6th in Prophet Series)
    Jesus said; Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh: So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
    The message--get ready.
  • The clear call to salvation
    In the call to salvation it should be clear that the person is answering God’s call to be reconciled to Him and this means that He will be father to them from then on and they will be His child. This relationship is build on love and trust.

    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)
    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. Jesus always made right ch
  • The inevitable result
    The inevitable result of a church being entangled in the affairs of the world and of enjoying worldly entertainment is that she will be turned aside from the course God had set for her. I give scriptures to show that the church was to carry on Jesus’ ministry and how it was to be done.
  • The Kingdom of God
    To answer imperitive questions about the kingdom of God. To magnify the kingdom of God.
  • The Rapture - to be or not to be?
    The verses I use below are not to prove that there will be a rapture of the true church because I know of no verse that proves that. I am using these verses to build a case for why I believe there will be a rapture of the true church.
  • The Reconciliation
    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 Scriptures do claim to be inerrant.

  • The Word of God
    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.
  • There Really is Help
    There Really is Help is a short story about a defeated, near hopeless woman having an encounter with an enthusiastic Christian and getting the help she so desparately needed.
  • They have sown wheat, but they have reaped thorns
    In Jeremiah 12 and 13, God addresses Israel's fault which is disinterest in Him and having idols. He says if they will diligently learn His ways and swear by His name, He would restore their land and place to them. I believe the church should apply the admonition to themselves so that they can become the glorious church that God intended. Otherwise, in these lad days, God will only have a remnant and most of the church will join the great whore.)
  • Uncircumcised ears - Jer. 6 (3rd in Prophet Series)
    The people could not hear God's warnings because their ears were uncircumcised. In order to hear what God is saying, a person must humble themselves and repent of their ways and turn to God’s ways. They must receive God as their Father and Jesus as their Lord. They must reckon on themselves crucified with Christ and resurrected Christ living within.
  • Warning! Worship God, the Creator (2nd in the Phophesy Series)

    Not all those who think they are going to heaven, but those who trust and obey God.

    To show that biblical emphasis produces and that teachers need to ask themselves what they want produced--biblical Christians or free spirits.

    Christians should get involved in goverment because unless godliness prevails, God cannot maintain the covering or protection over the nation. If ungodliness prevails this country goes down.
