Sometimes Songs Reflect Truth Let me read to you some of the words to a song called Honesty.. “If you search for tenderness, it isn’t hard to find. You can have the love you need, to live.” “But if you look for truthfulness, you might just as well be blind. It always seems to be, so hard to give.” “Honesty, is such a lonely word,…
Foolishness of God? Listen to, 1 Corinthians 1, verse 25 says, “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.” Maybe you didn’t know that “foolishness” could be attributed to God. And maybe you didn’t know that “weakness” could also be attributed to God. But there you have it in that one verse; The foolishness of God,…
God’s Three Dispensations Hebrews chapter 1, and verse 1, says; “God, having spoken long ago, to the fathers, in the prophets, in many portions, and in many ways, has in these last days, spoken to us in His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, through whom also He made the world.” There’s an interesting phrase in that verse; “In many portions”. What that means, is.. “in many…
The God and Father I’d like to show you from the bible, how God in His entirety, is our Father; and how every aspect of God, is also our Father. The word God, refers to the entirety of God; All the aspects of God, all in one. While the words, the Father, and the Son, and the Word, and the Spirit, all refer to individual aspects of…
Let The Bible Speak It’s always refreshing to me, to explore what the bible actually says about a given subject, without all the little “twists” and “variances” that men want to add to it. When I rely solely on the word of God, I usually find that a lot of the beliefs that people hold, and talk about, are beliefs that are based on conjecture,…
“The Lord is my Rock” 2 Sam 2:22 The bible uses the word “rock”, many times. The word appears 118 times in the KJV of the bible, and 32 of those times, it refers to our Savior. Sometimes those references were to our God, as our Savior, and the other times it refers to Jesus Christ. You’ve heard the phrase, “The Rock of our salvation”. That phrase was used one time in the bible,…
Jesus Knows Our Deeds! In the second and third chapters of the book of Revelation, Jesus Christ dictates seven letters, to seven churches located in Asia (present day Turkey). And He tells His apostle John to write down what He says. There’s a statement that is common to five of those letters. And that statement is.. “I know your deeds..” In the other two letters, Jesus says, “I know your tribulation..” …
Evidence Of God Is there evidence that God exists? If there is any evidence, where is that evidence? What is that evidence? I would like to answer those questions, WITHOUT using the bible. That’s actually quite a switch, from the whole purpose of this website. Our purpose here is to let GOD answer our spiritual questions. And so we’ve always gone straight to God’s word for our…
Jesus Christ, Perfect Sacrifice Why was Jesus Christ, the perfect sacrifice? What made Jesus “Perfect”? What made Jesus, “The Only One”, who could have become, the sacrifice for sin? I received a question on the website from a reader, who asked; “I wonder if you could talk more, in a future article, about WHY Christ was the only one who could fill that role?” And so, what’s…
How is Jesus God ? That is a very good question. And the reason it’s such a good question, is because very few people really understand what the bible teaches, in regards to God the Father, and God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. So in essence, what this really boils down to, is an understanding of what is commonly called, The Trinity. But I want to make it perfectly…
