Be more Occupied With Jesus than For Jesus

Quote: “It is more important to be occupied with Jesus than to be occupied for Jesus.” – J Dwight Pentecost. Amen to that! Being occupied with Jesus daily in worship, prayer, Bible reading and study makes being occupied for Jesus a glorious blessing, not a task or some kind of obligation. I’m noticing an increase …

Don’t Unhitch the Old Testament from Your Faith

I see a popular US preacher got himself into hot water with fellow Christians on social media recently, saying Christians need to, “unhitch the Old Testament from their faith.” It would be wrong to judge him on that statement without knowing the full context in which he said this, but it seems that is exactly what …

Divine Accomplishment and Human Achievement

Quote: “There are only two religions in the world: Divine accomplishment and human achievement. Divine accomplishment is true biblical Christianity; every other religion is some form of human achievement.” John MacArthur. Biblical definition of atonement: ‘reconciliation of the guilty by divine sacrifice.’ Biblical Christianity teaches that atonement for sins is made possible only through trusting …

The Coronavirus Chaos

A fellow Christian and I were discussing the coronavirus chaos recently. He said he was trying to figure out how much of the mainstream media reporting on it was true, how much was half true and how much was far from true. “It’s so difficult to know who to believe,” he said. “I don’t know …

A Dress Rehearsal

In relation to the current world-wide coronavirus pandemic, a Christian pastor on You Tube said recently, “This is a dress rehearsal for what is coming.” What did he mean? Was he saying there’s another one of greater intensity following on the heels this of one? Not particularly, he was referring to what is to come …

Power and Blessing, Victory and Spiritual Freshness

Quote: “Power and blessing, victory and spiritual freshness are the portion of those who cleave to the Lord alone.” – H A Ironside. Therein lies the answer for anyone asking why Bible Christians will reject any philosophy or belief system that clashes with biblical revelation. They know if they embrace that which does clash with …

The Visitation of God

Quote: “The visitation of God comes either in salvation or condemnation; it comes one way or another. Every one of us will experience the visitation of God. God will show up in your life for salvation, now, and forever, or for judgment in the future, and forever.” – John MacArthur. In what way does the …

A Conditional Promise from Jesus

A conditional promise from Jesus: Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid John 14:27. In other words, meet the Lord’s conditions and this promise is forthcoming. What conditions must one meet? …

The God of Hope vs The god of no hope

Secular meaning of hope: ‘to cherish a desire with anticipation; to want something to happen or be true.’ It has been said that people can live about forty days without food, about three days without water, about eight minutes without air, but only a few seconds without hope. The current coronavirus mainstream media hype seems to confirm …

Moral Goodness is Not Enough in The Eyes of God

Question: Why is it that people take delight in attacking born again Christians who openly declare their stand for Jesus Christ? Answer: The Holy Spirit of God convicts them that they are not right before Him. That’s right! Deny it as they most certainly will, that is the primary reason. In reality however, it is …
