How is it possible that Lucifer rebelled against God after seeing the glory of God?
It’s hard to believe that any being, human or angelic, could see what he has seen and still rebel; but there’s an essential lesson in his rebellion. Ezekiel 28:15-17 describes the entire process. His wisdom was corrupted by the reasoning based on his brightness. The...
I’m having trouble understanding what it really means when it says “Jesus is light.”
While there are some aspects of Jesus being the light of the world, without an understanding of history and the people to whom John was writing the deeper meanings are usually missed. John’s writing had the greatest value and appeal to the non-Jewish world. The Jews...
Is it true that God and Satan are in warfare with each other?
That’s not actually true. Satan was defeated at the resurrection of Jesus, stripped of principality (rank) and power (right). Satan is no longer the being he was before the fall; he no longer has that rank and he has no authority over mankind. The reason deceit and...
How do I know when I’m hearing God?
The best place to learn hearing the voice of God is while you are reading and meditating on the Word. When you read the Bible begin by praying, “God, You are my Father. Jesus, You are my Lord. Holy Spirit, You are my Teacher and Guide. I open my heart to hear Your...
With so many people claiming to preach the “truth” it’s hard to know which one to believe.
Sorting out what voice we should listen to has always been a challenge for the followers of God. But as you renew your mind and learn to guard your heart you actually are able to benefit something from nearly everyone you hear. From the beginning of time there have...
I’m learning a lot of Scripture but my life really isn’t changing; what’s wrong?
There’s probably nothing wrong. In fact, one of the worst things you can do is try to self-analyze and fix your problems. Jesus taught that attempting to pull out the tares would result in pulling out much of the wheat. If something is obvious then correct it, but...
I hear so many sermons that it all gets confusing. How do I sort it all out?
It is overwhelming to consider how many sermons we hear and how much information we are given to process in a year! But we have to remember some really important things about sermons. The information in the sermons we hear is not life. Learning all that information...
Why does God need our praise and worship?
The life God offers us is only experienced in personal connection with Him, never in the information about Him. Jesus said, this is life to know (experience) the one true God and Jesus Christ! We want to experience the life apart from a relationship. We want to find a...
Will I ever gain enough knowledge to experience God’s power over my situation?
One of the greatest occult doctrines that has been passed down to the modern Church is that knowledge brings life. We have unintentionally replaced having knowledge about Jesus with having a real, active relationship. Jesus said, you search the Scriptures, for in them...
You don’t seem to be a fan of science; what’s the problem with science?
Nothing could be farther from the truth. I actually enjoy and value science. Romans 1:20 teaches us that through the natural laws of science we can understand the invisible attributes of God. All God created is in harmony with who He is, His character, wisdom, logic...
