How do you know when you’re in judgement or wisdom?
I see so many posts on Facebook by what seem to be well intentioned people that sound very loving but actually promote confusion and are contrary to Scripture. It seems there are a rash of believers who have taken on the radical left’s definition of judgement. In...
Why Do People Talk So Mean to Me?
One of the top complaints expressed in counseling is the way others talk to them. Obviously, some people talk mean because they are mean. This is resolved by establishing and maintaining absolute boundaries. However, what few people are willing to see is they, in...
Guaranteeing Your Children a Great Life
One morning as I was walking my dog I spotted a young man walking up the street toward me carrying a young child. My first thoughts were, “It’s so great to see a father involved with his child.” When I got close enough that I could hear what was being said a car...
What is the real key to experiencing the life of God?
The word “life” comes from a word that means “the quality of life possessed by the One who gives it.” We were created in the likeness and image of God; therefore, we are designed to have the quality of life He possesses and anything less is abnormal for us! Jesus...
How will we know if we begin to go into darkness?
Because the concept of darkness has been so far removed from biblical understanding it has taken on more of a mystical concept. Consequently, we imagine darkness as being or engulfing into an ominous, demonic, sinister plunge into the abyss, making the process hard to...
Isn’t all of the Old Testament fulfilled? If so, why do you talk about the Commandments?
Jesus said, "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill” ( Matthew 5:17). If the word “fulfill” means “to do away with” then Jesus was confused when He made this statement. But as we all should understand,...
Are there any similarities between natural light and Jesus as “the Light?”
Yes! God used nature as one of the ways to convey biblical truth. In fact, in Romans 1:20 Paul points out that nature itself, i.e. the true laws of physics, reveals aspects of God’s nature. The only real conflict between science and the Bible occurs when either side...
Why all this emphasis on the Word of God; isn’t just believing in Jesus all we really need?
That’s an idea that’s part true and part false. It’s according to what a person means when they say they believe in Jesus. Do you believe what the Bible says about His identity, ministry and mission or did your beliefs about Jesus come from some other source?...
Why do so many people struggle with believing God’s Word?
We have been subtly conditioned our entire life to discount the validity of God’s Word. For the Great Harlot to seduce us into rejecting God’s morals, values and standards, i.e. iniquity, we must first lose confidence in God’s Word. Few people know that the most...
What does the Bible mean when it says the darkness could not comprehend the light?
At first glance it seems to be saying darkness doesn’t understand the light and there is actually much truth to that. The things of God are spiritually discerned, they are not intellectually calculated. If we choose to believe what the Bible says just because it has...
