Worship Him in Spirit and Truth

In the fourth chapter of John, Jesus was tired from one of His journeys so He stopped and sat by a well called Jacob’s Well. While He was there, a woman from Samaria came to draw water. Jesus was by Himself because His disciples had gone to get food. When He saw the Samaritan woman,

The True Cost of Unbelief

“But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned” (1 Corinthians 2:14). One of the greatest hindrances to the manifestation of the power of God is unbelief. When Jesus could not do many mighty

The Spirit of Truth

Have you ever talked to someone who sounded like they knew what they were talking about, but the more you listened, the more you realized that they really didn’t know the depth of the subject?

The Truth Will Set You Free – Not the Facts

In Third John, the Bible says, “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. For I rejoiced greatly when brethren came and testified of the truth that is in you, just as you walk in the truth. I have no greater joy than to

The Only True Standard

Last Sunday I felt inspired. In fact, I preached like my hair was on fire. There was an excitement in the air and in my heart. There seemed to be a great urgency. After church, the reviews came in. It’s always interesting to look through the emails and see what people have to say. Although

Self-Deception

Deception is the enemy’s greatest weapon in keeping a broken heart broken. Truth is God’s weapon for healing a broken heart. Deception binds, blinds, and destroys.

Satan’s greatest fear is that the body of Christ will discover the principles that will enable them to escape his snares. Once they do, he will lose his ability to entrap them. Second Timothy 2:25-26 reveals a three-step principle that will help you avoid the devil’s snare. It says, “In humility correcting those who are

Believing a Lie Can Be Deadly

All truth originates with God. The Bible says in Titus 1:2, “God…cannot lie.” Again in Hebrews 6:18, it says the same thing, “It is impossible for God to lie.” In contrast, Satan is a liar. Remember, Jesus said in John 8:44 that Satan “does not stand in the truth” and that “there is no truth

God Is Not Politically Correct

God has not changed. The things He disapproved of during the time of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Paul, He still disapproves of today.
