Doing And Teaching Matthew 5: 19:…But whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven. Only the believer understands how holy, just and good the law of God is; only the believer establishes the law through faith in Christ; only the believer has a God-wrought desire to […]
freedom and Liberty in Christ Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty 2 Cor. 3:17. Paul encourages all believers to stand fast in the liberty and freedom we enjoy in the Lord Jesus Christ. “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, […]
HIS YOKE Matt. 11:29 The yoke of self sufficiency, self righteousness, and self worth always reveals a man’s spiritual bondage. This yoke is prominently exposed when a man futilely attempts to establish his own righteousness before God. Men attempt to convince both themselves and others of the freedom of heart, but there is no true […]
The Law of Sinai and The Law in Zion The difference between the law at Sinai and the law of God written on the heart of Christ’s witness is this: the law at Sinai centers the doing on man, saying, “Do this and live”; the law of God written on the heart centers the doing […]

THE LORD KNOWETH HOW 2 Peter 2: 9-12 The Spirit of God warns believers about this day in which we live. (Amos 8:11) As religious as this world is, yet as ungodly as this world is, we should always remember that God is fulfilling his purpose even with false teachers and false religion in this world. […]
Throughout the book of Romans, when Paul refers to those who walk after the flesh and those who walk after the Spirit he is speaking of religious folks, not immoral folks. The commandments of men teach that believers are yet under the law which was given at Mt. Sinai. Most say that the believer is […]

None could charge him with compromise, none could call his message unclear, and none could accuse him of giving anyone a false hope. But as one who earnestly contended for the faith of […]
No longer servants Chris Cunningham John 15:15 Henceforth I call you not servants, for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth . . .
