Carry Offense To The Cross
2 Cor 11:29 Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not? Above is a small excerpt from Paul’s presentation. In context, Paul offers a commonality to the church in Corinth that he too has been weak; he too has been offended. However, the result of those offenses never […]

I Give You Power
Luke 10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you. Luke 10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. Read […]

The Human Element
If the Bible has taught us anything it must include this axiom of truth: Never underestimate the human element! Jesus said, Mark 10:18 “There is none good but one, that is, God.” Self-reliance, codependency, and governmental issuants continually fail. In regards to self: Jer. 17:9 “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: […]

Landmarks
Deu 19:14 Thou shalt not remove thy neighbour’s landmark, which they of old time have set in thine inheritance, which thou shalt inherit in the land that the LORD thy God giveth thee to possess it. Hundreds of years after Moses gave this commandment, Solomon reiterated it twice. The issue of landmarks became more prevalent […]

Let Us Remember
At the root of all spiritual directives lies a single line of scripture. It was a warning from Moses to God’s called-out people: Deu 8:11 “Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God.” The prophets came to declare the judgments of God because they had “forgotten the Law of thy God.” In more modern […]

No Time For Leaven
Exo 12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneading troughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders. At the end of what could only be described as a national tragedy, pharaoh and the Egyptian people begged Israel to leave their land. They said, Ex. 12:33 “We be all […]

God Can
Consider the days of Israel. A drought had crushed the spirit of three attending armies. In response to their dilemma, the prophet Elisha was called. Through the anointing of the Spirit, he told them to dig ditches in the valley. He said, 2 Ki 3:16-18 Thus saith the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches. […]

Falling Away
Upon review of both the birth and death of Jesus Christ, there are numerous occurrences of prophecies which were fulfilled. In fact, the statement, “Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken” is repeated through the Gospels concerning Jesus. In brief, prophets prophesied and the fulfillment came to pass. In […]

Measuring Judgment
Mat 7:2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. Maybe we have forgotten. Maybe the words of Jesus have lost their power, because among the Christian community is a most damaging view. Some believe that opinions, criticisms, gossip, and […]

As They Were Increased
Michael Brown asked in the Townhall, “Can the Church regain its Prophetic Voice.” His inquiry implies a loss of unspeakable proportions. If you are reading this, then know that your responsibility as a believer and disciple of Jesus Christ has never been more critical. Jesus called us to be the salt of the earth, Mt […]
