In John 14:6, Jesus makes one of the seven “I Am” statements in the Book of John. He says, “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” The Apostle Thomas thought they were having a conversation about a physical location, but Jesus was identifying Himself… Continue reading 4 Characteristics of “The Way” of Holiness
The unnamed prophet in 1 Kings 13 started out like a lot of Christians today. The Bible may not record his name, but he had a calling and a purpose for God in his time. But this guy’s story did NOT have a happy ending. It’s a cautionary tale for all of us who name… Continue reading 1 Kings 13: Three Ways the Enemy Tries to Steal Your Reward
If you know anything about Old Testament kings, you know they fell into two categories. There were those who did what was right in the sight of the Lord and those who did not. In 2 Kings 18, Hezekiah was a good king of Judah who loved God. He also had a very powerful adversary… Continue reading 2 Kings 18: When the Enemy Offers to Leave You Alone
The Mosaic Law was a very concrete thing. The Jews observed ordinances, performed rituals, and obeyed laws in the natural that were physical representations of spiritual concepts. For example, in Deuteronomy 22:11, God forbade His people from mixing linen and wool. It seems ridiculous that the God of the universe would make such a specific… Continue reading Decide to Become a Bondslave of Christ
There is no doubt about it: God is in control. He was in control when He created the universe, and He is in control of the earth and what happens on it today. When Lucifer fell, it was because his pride put him in rebellion against God. That same spirit of rebellion is the motto… Continue reading Horses Are a Symbol of Control in the Bible
Samson’s strength was legendary, and his antics with the three Philistine women in his life were nothing short of ridiculous. His story can be found in the book of Judges, chapters 13-16. It’s fun to read, but more than that, it can actually be understood on three distinct levels. It’s about physical Israel, spiritual Israel,… Continue reading The Three Levels of Samson & Submission to God
When Christians say we will do something in the future, we often follow it with the words “God willing.” It’s a reference to James 4:15 and an acknowledgement that we are not in control; God is. But the Bible is filled with verses that tell us what God will and shall do. And, when God… Continue reading One Condition For the Promises of God
Romans 6:23 tells us that “the wages of sin is death.” And, Adam and Eve’s disobedience in the garden led to exactly that. There was the physical death of the body, of course, but also the greater death of the soul. People are now dead in their trespasses and sins. It is only belief in… Continue reading The Red Heifer is a Symbol of Jesus & Sanctification
The lamp stand of God is a symbol of the Bible.
Money is a tough topic. Just the mention of the “t” word (tithing) is enough to stir up a lively thread on any social media. But money is a part of the world we live in, and the Bible has quite a bit to say about it. In the Parable of the Unjust Steward, Jesus… Continue reading Lay Up For Yourselves Treasures in Heaven
