Perfect, complete, without blemish, holy, blameless, spotless; these are just a few of the words the scriptures uses to describe Gods saints. We do not feel that we are any of these things in ourselves, but this is what God says about us. Do we believe what we see in ourselves or what God says […]
Subpar Christians In listening to a message I heard a preacher say there are a lot of “subpar Christians.” I do not believe that for a moment. Gods holy word says, “we are complete in Him” (Col. 2:9-10). They also say, “he hath perfected forever them that are sanctified” (Heb 10:14). Christ is “made unto […]
Church Member or Christ Worshipper? From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure […]
Simple, Silent, Unassuming Worship Mark 14:3-9 I find it wonderful how our Lord expresses this woman’s simple, yet focused act of worship in these verses here in Mark’s gospel. How different is this real worship as compared to today’s ‘contemporary’ style. How low key and unassuming and peaceful is this woman’s utter devotion to the […]

This discernible difference is characterized from an inward presence of the indwelling Spirit of God which […]

The One Pearl of Great Price “The kingdom of heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls. Who when he found One Pearl of Great Price, went and sold all that he had and bought it” Matt. 13:45-46 Over the years men collect a jewelry box full of pearls. In one drawer they […]
A BELIEVER’S PEACE Where does a believer find real and genuine peace? On what foundation can we rest and say in truth, “It is well with my soul?” I’ll tell you; it lies in this, that we are justified by faith and not by works. Christ Jesus stood in my place before God. I was […]
Is it Really True? “As he is, so are we in this world” (1 John 4:17). We all know that believers in this world bear a likeness to our Lord in his humiliation. As he was in this world, so are we in this world. As he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with […]
