No Excuse for Sinning
The promise for overcoming sin leaves us with no excuse for sinning. “There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer [literally, allow] you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape,…
Pleasing God
“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God” (Hebrews 11:5 KJV). Some would say Enoch was raptured or caught up to God. “Then we which are alive and remain shall be…
Essence of Sin
“Whosoever committeth [Greek, poieō, NET, practices] sin [Greek, hamartia] transgresseth [Greek, poieō] also the law [NET, practices lawlessness]: for sin is the transgression of the law [NET, lawlessness]” (1John 3:4 KJV). If sin is a condition of lawlessness, from whom was Lucifer originally infected in Heaven? No one. But, if sin is essentially a heartfelt action of transgression, rebellion,…
Virtue of Not Sinning
“For there is not a just man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not” (Ecclesiastes 7:20 KJV). The vanity of trying to do it right but not succeeding was felt even by the Apostle Paul. “19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I…
Sermon on John 8
I’d like to share with you from John 8. But first, let us pray. Father, use me to reveal the truth of Your Word, and prepare the hearts of all who hear to understand, so You would receive all the credit and glory. In Jesus’ name, amen. <1> [Gospel of John 8] <2> [Outline of…
What’s the Real Value of Prayer?
We’ve grown accustomed to feeling prayer somehow changes God, so we will receive whatever we ask. Prayer does not change God, but prayer changes us. Prayer nourishes the life of God in us teaching us the character of Jesus through His Spirit. We quit our praying because we do not see the point in our continually asking…
Value of a Soul
“What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?” (Matthew 16:26; Mark 8:37 KJV). Lucifer sold his soul when he pursued the glory belonging only to the Creator. “I will exalt my throne above the stars of God” (Isaiah 14:13). If Lucifer had his price, then he insanely reasoned, so did Jesus. “All these…
Purpose of Freedom
“Let My people go, that they may serve Me” (Exodus 9:1 KJV). Are we free to do as we please? Or, are we free for the purpose of serving God? Servitude is onerous other than for the service of God. “Take My yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly…
Old Testament Expectation of Miracles for the Messiah
The miraculous is to be expected whenever God must make a statement to arrest the attention of His intended audience, which serves His purpose, when ordinary means would not be sufficient. This must be so, since He alone determines when the ordinary must be replaced by the extraordinary. Even our day to day obedience, though…
Synopsis of John 2
In our survey of the Gospel of John, I was asked to speak on John, chapter 2. But first, let us pray. Father, anoint me that I may reveal the truth as it is in Jesus (Ephesians 4:21). Cause us to be satisfied with nothing less than a faith in Jesus requiring total commitment to…
