The Kingdom Will Prevail

A key Scripture regarding our authority in Christ is Matthew 16:16-18: Simon Peter answered, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus said to him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, because flesh and blood did not reveal this to you, but My Father who is in heaven, “I also say to...

The Kingdom is Within Us

We are entering the biggest clash of civilizations ever—the conflict between what fallen men have built and what God is building—His kingdom. The two cannot coexist, and God’s kingdom will inevitably win. His kingdom is our promised land. Though God gave it to them, the children of Israel had to...

The Pursuit of Peace

The most famous opening line in any novel was in Charles Dickens’ classic A Tale of Two Cities : “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” How could it be both? This seeming contradiction is a truth about life that Dickens answers in this book. A comparable biblical phrase is “the...

The Path of Life

As mentioned, there is a ditch on either side of the path of life, and they are opposites. Usually, legalism is on one side, and lawlessness is on the other. Many who fall off the path into one ditch often overreact and fall into the other ditch. Our goal must be to stay on the path of life and...

The days we waste can quickly add up to weeks, months, and years, and the years can add up...

An idol can be anyone or anything we place our affection and trust in above God. Our most important resolution should be to keep Him first in our lives. This is a...

The Path of Life

In I Chronicles 16:29, II Chronicles 20:21, Psalms 29:2 and 96:9, we find the phrase “the beauty of holiness.” In our time, the word holiness has come to mean legalism and the intolerance of the self-righteous. This reveals the level of deception the devil has been able to spread throughout the...

The Beautiful Walk

In I Chronicles 16:29, II Chronicles 20:21, Psalm 29:2 and 96:9, we find the phrase “the beauty of holiness.” There is a beauty to holiness to which all people are drawn. There is a repulsion in counterfeit holiness by which all people are repelled. To distinguish between true and false holiness is...

The Test

In II Corinthians 13:5-6, we are instructed, “ Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?” This is an important exhortation. However, I have asked many Christians and...
