Once I asked a Christian man if he believed a certain verse in the Bible. To my surprise, he commented that he would have to read it first and let me know later. Isn’t that amazing? Why would a Christian have to read a verse before deciding whether or not he believed it? God’s WordContinue reading “Unconditional Belief Produces Miracles”

The Secret to Great Peace
“Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them” (Psalm 119:165 KJV). Several years ago I sat in a seminar with a very well-known speaker. The seminar was on organization and developing organizational skills in your life and in your office. He started the seminar by explaining how people mess upContinue reading “The Secret to Great Peace”
Let the Word Change Your World
Anytime somebody tells you something amazing, it can be difficult to believe at first. I remember where I was standing in the hallway in high school at Raytown South High School when I found out President Kennedy had been shot. I remember my reaction. The first time I heard it, I didn’t believe the person.Continue reading “Let the Word Change Your World”
Guard Your Hearing
“Then He said to them, ‘Take heed what you hear. With the same measure you use, it will be measured to you; and to you who hear, more will be given’” (Mark 4:24). We measure everything we hear. When you take notes in church, you judge every statement made by the speaker and only writeContinue reading “Guard Your Hearing”
A Submissive Tongue
What you say is important. In fact, it is so important that our lives are better or worse because of the words we speak. Proverbs 15:4 says, “A wholesome tongue is a tree of life, but perverseness in it breaks the spirit.” Our words are containers. When we speak, our words contain power — theContinue reading “A Submissive Tongue”
The Word Without Faith is Not Profitable
“Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content: I know how to be abased, and I know how to abound. Everywhere and in all things I have learned both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need”Continue reading “The Word Without Faith is Not Profitable”
Foundational Principle #3 (There Are Three Groups of People: The Jews, the Gentiles, and the Church)
Most wrong teaching comes from the lack of knowledge of the Word, and some comes from the confusion that results from listening to the doctrines of demons (1 Timothy 4:1). However, one thing is for sure. Unless you allow the Holy Spirit to give you revelation on three basic foundational principles, your understanding of theContinue reading “Foundational Principle #3 (There Are Three Groups of People: The Jews, the Gentiles, and the Church)”
Foundational Principle #2 (Righteousness and Holiness Are Not the Same Thing)
Throughout the centuries, the church has been divided because of doctrine. The word “doctrine” comes from the Greek word didaché which simply means teaching. Wrong doctrine or teaching has kept the church divided. Most wrong teaching comes from the lack of knowledge of the Word, and some comes from the confusion that results from listeningContinue reading “Foundational Principle #2 (Righteousness and Holiness Are Not the Same Thing)”

Take the Word and Feed Yourself
Lazy people get spitting mad when they hear that the only way you can receive from God is to take in the Word of God for yourself. We must take the Word of God, which is Jesus. We must take the Word of God, which is the Messiah. We must take the Word of God,Continue reading “Take the Word and Feed Yourself”
