Truth or Lie—Which To Choose?

In II Thessalonians, Paul talks about the lawless one who will control the world during the tribulation period. He essentially says that the people of the world have rejected the truth of Christ and bought, instead, into the lie of the Antichrist. Because of this rejection, God then sends a powerful delusion upon them so [...]

Illuminations: Our Faith and God’s Will

When I was a kid I believed in Santa Claus. There wasn’t much anything complicated about it—he was real to me because he brought me what I wanted. In my family we didn’t have much material-wise. That meant Christmas was the only time of the year I could anticipate getting something a little extra—a new [...]

The Patience of Job

Most of us grew up hearing about people going through hard times and being said to have “the patience of Job.” Even non-Bible-readers knew Job was the most patient man who ever walked the face of this earth.

How Much Do You Love Me?

Paul’s letter to the Philippians is beautiful on many levels. He has such love for the believers in Philippi that he “longs for them all with the affection of Christ.” How many of us have that same kind of love for the believers we know? He was also thankful that they had “participated in the [...]

Jesus on "Prayer"

We often hear teachings on the “discipline of prayer,” as if prayer requires a great deal of effort, rules, and practice.

That the Bible does not contain the word triune or the word trinity does not negate the fact that the Bible teaches three personal distinctions in one divine nature.

The Holy Spirit, "He"

It seems that people today are sometimes a little squeamish when it comes to talking about the Holy Spirit. Even Christians begin fidgeting at the mention of His being a person or a personality rather than an ‘it’. We understand that Jesus walked on the earth as a man—He was physically present in our world [...]

Illuminations – How Do You Worship?

What is the natural response to Jesus’ presence in the room? Let’s make it personal—if He were to walk through the door right now, what would you do? For most of us, if Jesus walked in it would be impossible to continue doing whatever it is we’re doing. No doubt we’d stop mid-word, mid-motion, and [...]

More, Please. Give Me More!

God sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in us, and it’s this Spirit-within that has propelled the Church down through the ages. Satan and his demons stand in opposition to the Church and its Holy Spirit and they are the driving force on the side of the world. So, in order for the Church to [...]
