  • Post 21 The Grace of the Holy Spirit – Spiritual Gifts
    The person of the Holy Spirit is not someone unique to the New Testament. The Holy Spirit has co-existed with Father God from the beginning. We see the Spirit of God at work in Creation- Genesis 1:1-2, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and… Read more: Post 21 The Grace of the Holy Spirit – Spiritual Gifts

  • Post 18 The Grace of Jesus Christ
    We are continuing in the theme of the Grace of God. In the last post, we mentioned the Trinity and that God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit are One. All three parts of the Godhead share the same nature and that is the nature of Grace. God’s grace can be… Read more: Post 18 The Grace of Jesus Christ
  • Post 17 The Grace of Father God
    In our last post, I mentioned that the Word Grace in Greek was “Charis” or “Charisma” which means spiritual gift. The word grace is used throughout the New Testament and speaks to the character and nature of God. God is a gift-giving God! James 1:17 says the following, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from… Read more: Post 17 The Grace of Father God
  • Post 16 Love and Grace?
    This brief statement in Ephesians 2:8-9 is the message of the Gospel or the “Good News” in a nutshell! “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast”. Let’s examine this statement more closely.
  • Post 15 Faith and Works?
    The three most common areas in which we seek God’s blessings are health, relationships and finances. God promises us that all of our needs will be met in Christ Jesus (Matt 6:31-34), but we must come to Him in faith, that is trusting that He will provide. We are trusting in Him to deliver what He… Read more: Post 15 Faith and Works?
  • Post 14 Christ Centered Faith!
    Since faith is essential in our relationship with Jesus Christ it is so important to understand what faith is, and what it is not. Faith in the original Greek is “Pistis” and a Bible Dictionary defines it as; persuasion, credence, moral conviction, assurance, belief or, fidelity. In our last post, we looked at the definition given… Read more: Post 14 Christ Centered Faith!
  • Post 13 Activate Your Faith!
    In the late 80’s and early 90’s a well-known slogan for Nike Sneakers was used to almost triple their sales for sneakers. It was, “JUST DO IT!”.In other words, don’t just think about it or talk about it. When it comes to the things of God many people live in the place of “let’s think… Read more: Post 13 Activate Your Faith!
  • Post 12 Does God Use Circumstances?
    God has a plan or call for your life!  Yes, He has a plan for you!

You see God knew you before you were… Read more: Post 12 Does God Use Circumstances?
  • Post 11 Is Prophecy For Today?
    Prophecy is one of those terms in Christianity that is often misunderstood. There are at least two incorrect concepts about prophecy. The first is that it is a type of “fortune telling” or looking into the future for answers. We are influenced by the media (movies, TV and books) to believe that it is real… Read more: Post 11 Is Prophecy For Today?
  • Post 10 Personal Revelation
    God has made it abundantly clear that He wants and has enabled two-way communication between Himself and His creation, mankind. As a matter of fact Jesus said Himself that He knows His own and His people hear His voice and follow Him (John 10:7-21). Then the Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 2, 9 But… Read more: Post 10 Personal Revelation
  • Post 9 The Word: Logos and Rhema
    Another way in which the Bible or Word of God can speak is in situations that require a decision, direction or encouragement. Let me explain, in the last post we talked about the “illumination” of scripture while you are reading the Bible. That is when the scripture verse or phrase seems to speak to you… Read more: Post 9 The Word: Logos and Rhema
  • Post 8 How does the Bible Speak?
    The question is, “Can the Bible really speak? There are 2 important things we must remember and accept by faith about the Bible.One, it is the inspired word of God, God breathed the words that we find in the Bible.  Two, it is a spiritual book and can be understood by believers who recognize that they… Read more: Post 8 How does the Bible Speak?

  • Post 6 Rehabilitation or Transformation
    In the last post we saw that we are more than body and soul; we are spirit, soul and body.

    Receiving salvation, through Jesus Christ, is not the end of a life-changing experience, but the beginning of something miraculous in your life. A new beginning! All of your sins have been forgiven and you are clean before God. Like the lowly caterpillar, you have been transformed into a beautiful butterfly. Now it’s time to soar!
  • Post 4 – How does one become Born-Again?
    In the last post “What is a Born-again Christian?” we saw that Jesus said, you must be born-again to see and enter the Kingdom of God (John 3:1-8). Two very important words to notice are, see and enter, the kingdom of God.
  • Post 3 What is a Born-Again Christian?
    There are many throughout the world that wear the “label” Christian without really understanding what a Christian is. Jesus said the following in Matthew 7:21-23 “Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. 22 Many will say to… Read more: Post 3 What is a Born-Again Christian?
