Safe From the King’s Enemies

The King’s enemies don’t all know that they are being harnessed into such purpose. The earth is filled with followers, and leaders are spread among the followers. When a few leaders become followers of some higher leader, they can increase the following of the higher ups. Many people are at work creating traps and drugs and diseases that the King’s […]

Going to Heaven

I have not found the phrase “go to heaven” in the Bible. In almost every popular hymn written in the last century and a half, the phrase is there, though. Most believers seem to be focused on getting off work and hitting the couch in spiritual terms. The King of Heaven seems to be focused on having His people draw […]

The Way to Live

Many times in Acts, Luke recorded people calling the movement of followers of Jesus “The Way.” Saul was searching for followers of The Way when he went to Damascus and met The Way Himself. This is advice he wrote to the congregations in Colossae about how to walk in The Way: Therefore, God’s chosen ones, holy and loved, put on […]

Stepping Into the Water

If I told you that I had a prophetic dream that you were to go down to the nearest fast-flowing, deep river, and walk across it, even though it is 22 feet deep at the middle, and Yahweh would answer 4 of your hardest prayed prayers, how would you decide what to do? What would you be willing to do […]

A New Ruler

Therefore, my brothers, you also were put to death in relation to the law through the crucified body of the Messiah, so that you may belong to another—to Him who was raised from the dead—that we may bear fruit for God. For when we were in the flesh, the sinful passions operated through the law in every part of us […]

Suffering While Waiting – Creation

The Spirit Himself testifies together with our spirit that we are God’s children, and if children, also heirs—heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ—seeing that we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is going to be revealed […]

Reading the Instructions

Would you rather sit for a few hours and read the book on your new vehicle, or drive now and get the answers to questions as they arise? Would you rather sit and read the opinions of other owners, or take a trip and send some pictures to your friends? You may find useful information in the others’ testimonies. You […]

Careers in Sales

I have been trained by several organizations as a salesman. The various plans had differing strategies for securing a sale, but a common denominator was to convince the subject that they needed my product. I might be instructed to use evidence that they lacked something, or threat of a disaster, but the hoped-for end was always a signed agreement and […]

Righteousness: Seeking, Sowing

And why do you worry about clothes? Learn how the wildflowers of the field grow: they don’t labor or spin thread. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was adorned like one of these! If that’s how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and thrown into the furnace tomorrow, won’t […]
