Legalism for a Christian is separating Jesus from the Word. In other words if the scripture is not about Jesus and what He did; then the only thing left is us and what we’re doing or not doing. Another way to say it is that the bible is reduced...
READ MOREThe Bible teaches that as He (Jesus) is so are we in this world (see 1 John 4:17). This is an amazing reality for the believer. For far too long we have allowed other people to tell us who we are. Often this Christian identity theft is very...
READ MOREThe importance of being teachable cannot be over-emphasized. I have often said that I reserve the right to be wrong. As one old timer stated: “I think we err and block the entrance of truth when we fail to recognize the possibility of our own...
READ MOREThere is a lot of talk about identity theft today. The Holy Spirit revealed to me what Christian identity theft looks like. Identity theft for the Christian usually comes in the form of a teaching that causes a believer to identify with their...
READ MOREChristianity is not about trying, but trusting. To trust is to focus on the person and work of another. When we live in what I call the “effort zone” we become “failure focused.” We look more at our shortcomings than...
READ MOREWhat people hear will produce in them a consciousness of what they have heard. For example if I proclaim that you are not to think on the color “red”; you can be assured that you will struggle to not think on “red.” In the...

READ MOREIn John 6:28 the disciples ask Jesus what they must do to work the works of God. Jesus answers in verse 29 by saying that the work (singular) of God was to believe on (Gr. “into”) Him whom He has sent (i.e. Jesus). I used to think...
READ MOREOh, the beauty of the new covenant which is based upon better promises (see Heb.8:6). You see under the old covenant God had a part and man had a part. While God always kept His part; man (i.e. Israel) would consistently fail to keep their part...
READ MOREIn Matthew chapter 19 and Mark chapter 10 we read the statement: what God has joined together, let not man separate or divide asunder. While this certainly applies to marriage in the natural, there is another marital application. As the bride of...
READ MORETo preach grace as freedom from the law and not declare that grace empowers a righteous walk is just as much mixture as preaching that one must live right without His grace. Grace empowers (see Romans 6:14; 1 Cor. 15:10; Titus 2:11-12).
