The foundation of the church is theology and statements of faith. Contrary to the famous hymn, it has, therefore, many foundations. The stone which is the foundation of the ekklesia of Jesus is Jesus. He is the cornerstone. The height, the depth and width of His love are the planes by which those characteristics of His love can be measured or judged in His ekklesia. That is what a cornerstone […]

Interpreting Tongues
I was thrown out of a ministry a few decades ago for refusing to sign a statement that included a section stating that THE initial evidence of having been filled with the Spirit of God is speaking in tongues. I know from the Scriptures and from experience that the Holy Spirit is still empowering believers to speak in tongues, as well as empowering some to receive interpretation of tongues. I […]
Great New Bible Translation
I have heard that there is a new Bible translation available. It is called the You Version. Jesus, the Word of God, revealed in the Scriptures is not revealed completely. As Stanley Jones would say, that is “the Word become word.” Jesus revealed through you, however, is once again a real-ization of what John wrote: “the Word become flesh.” As you present the Word and the words of your God […]

Draw Near and Seek the Lord
By faith, Enoch was taken away so that he did not experience death, and he was not to be found because God took him away. For prior to his transformation he was approved, having pleased God. Now without faith it is impossible to please God, for the one who draws near to Him must believe that He exists and rewards those who seek Him.(Hebrews 11:5-6 HCSB ©®) Today may have […]
For the Sake of My Servant
When the Rabshakeh heard that the king of Assyria had left Lachish, he returned and found him fighting against Libnah. The king had heard this about Tirhakah king of Cush: “Look, he has set out to fight against you.” So he again sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying, “Say this to Hezekiah king of Judah: ‘Don’t let your God, whom you trust, deceive you by promising that Jerusalem will not be […]
